I love how he pointed out that Wade won’t act that way towards a man. Only towards women because he’s a coward. Straight honesty. He tells it how it is.
Imagine this .. maybe the church going adopted parents (mom) abused him in ways that's not being openly discussed ... Because it happens.. hence his hatred towards women ?
Y’all can quit sayn that. Dad said he knew wade was violent and that he had attacked women prior to this and did NOTHING. He also knew Wade got aggressive when he did meth and that he was in active addiction and did NOTHING. he clda saved both of these womens lives by being a man and addressing Wade head on but he was too scared to. He called Wade a coward? The apple don’t fall far from the tree. The only bc reason he snitched on Wade is bc he was scared Wade wld come for him next.
@@UnknownUnknown1what do you think he could have done? Follow him around and warn anyone that speaks to him?? You can’t force someone to get clean, he talked to his son about getting help but he couldn’t force Wade into rehab. What should he have done that he didn’t do?!
@@UnknownUnknown1oh, so you would have just taken on your son, if he was acting like that head on? Let me tell you something you can do everything in your power to help or save someone and not be successful. You can not foretell the future.
@pepsiyummie1 Steve had sex with a minor child resulting in this pregnancy resulting in neglect and a drug addicted serial killer. Wade looked for Steve. Steve never looked for his son. Really cool great dad you got there. NOT !
Going out and mething around with your mom who you weren’t raised by and is only 14 years older than you can lead to unspeakable things… 🫢 Might end up “messing around” with your mom. 😦

@@UnknownUnknown1the police knew his behaviors too. You can't hold others responsible for Wade's drug induced choice. Get real. Recalled him a coward with men because he beats women not men.
His dad absolutely did the right thing. His words to his son shows he loves his son but also holds him accountable for his own choices. Kudos sir, you have my respect.
The pain in this father's voice is palpable. He's very strong for him to remember the horror in great details. Please say a prayer for this man and his family & friends
@@FionasNonnasadly this isn't uncommon but still this man was a full grown adult when this all happened. I grew up with my step dad being an addict. Several of my friends parents as well. My dad's now clean and even he will tell you it's you who is responsible for your own sobriety it took him 10 years to finally get clean. Enabling doesn't help with them not getting more drugs but if you've ever known an addict they hustle and go on side quests and make money to get the drugs either way.
@@FionasNonnawhether his dad helped with money or not. Wade Wilson would've still gotten the drugs and whatever he wanted. It's how it goes his dad tried to get him help by sending him to a treatment center Wade Wilson stayed in the center for a few weeks in palm Beach then left with a friend so when you look at it he didn't want to get clean. One thing I've learned about addicts is they have to want to get clean you can't force them to get clean
@@FionasNonnastop victim blaming. This man did nothing to cause Wade to do what he did, but now he will forever be known as the man who fathered this m onster.
@CataniaNonna omg the Dad did his best he had to get to know him first before he could even actually attempt to help etc. You are such n idiot for making such a hurtful comment
This was such a raw and honest conversation between two fathers - very powerful. Wade's 'bio-dad' is a good man who did the right thing, and I wish him nothing but the best.
His dad should have picked him up and got him help before it escalated to violence. After all these young girls had cried for help 😢 he was a walking time bomb 💣
His child is sick mentally. He was a responsible man in supporting his son. Thankfully he realized how sick he was and turned him in. What a courageous father.
Wade is a sacrificial byproduct for what needed to happen in his bio father's life. His father needed this to happen. He was not meant to be in Wade's life for whatever reason for a period of time. And now, he was places back into ha son's life. I believe it it so that he could heal for the past. My hubby just told me all this and i truly believe it. The universe or God is giving the dad this opportunity to see that this was all for a reason. Wade is still a POS. He has no excuses. I hope his dad will heal and not have any guilt.
Who says he did? Issent this whole vid about not believing everything you get fed? He knew he's son was going to kill on day! He literally fucking said it. This dude is just trying to save he's own face. He never was a father to him in the first place.
You don't know his dad. Or anything about his life, you only know what he wants you to know. He may not be who he portrays himself to be. You can't tell anything about him by a short video. 😅
I've been in and out of the rooms for a very long time and I've witnessed those that do the walk fully few and far between. Thats just my experience @jasminstewart-ebben9947
Shed those tears for something that matters. Why are you shedding tears over ANYTHING other than the victims of this case. You feel sorry for the dad? He didn’t raise this kid. So what he is the guy that a fucking murderer confessed to. There are a ton more appropriate things to cry about besides this piece of shit.
A calm and honest man. I didn't even hear him cuss once in this interview. Anyone would just feel comfortable talking to this guy who has saved many more women who were to fall prey to his own son May God bless this man and heal his wounds 😢😢
I have NEVER seen any parent (mother or father) speak more honestly and openly about their background and the actions and accountability of their offspring. KUDOS 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾to this man for telling it like it is! I wish him healing, hope and continued success as a husband and father. As a parent of an adult child, you did the right thing, Sir and anyone who says otherwise is either a bad parent themselves or they've never been a parent at all. 💯
@@Totes_ma_Goat i agree was super shocked he dropped this video ❤️ this'll have millions of views within a year im super excited to see this interview 😁
Did he really??? listen to the prison calls he supports his 100% . I'm sure every interview he gers money so he can put o. Wade's kiosk acct which is a joke. Wade should get 0 prviedge
I now understand that it has been the bio-dad talking to Wade; I thought it was his adoptive dad. What is the position of the adoptive parents? What a nightmare to contend with.

@@UnknownUnknown1hilarious that you think a middle aged man could have done anything mentally or physically to stop wade. As a criminal, he was aware of the fact that he cant just have someone locked away with conjecture. Nor should he have felt the desire, its hard to imagine a thing this extreme would happen. He saved lives, when he could have fulfilled his desire to give his son everything he wanted to make up for lost time, by keeping his secret. Im sure you are going to be judgemental and myopic some more, go ahead.x
@@marykaywoodall5454 Listen to the jail calls, the dad talks crap about one of the abuse victims. A good Man wouldn't do that about a victim something ain't right here.
@@UnknownUnknown1nah man. you're a coward in life and you see everyone from that lens.its so obvious, cause i dealt with loosers like you. you see facts,and distort them through your judgmental, scared,cowardly eyes. y'all all the same😂
What an amazing man. I'm a 47 year old woman and the drug, jail, crime life is something I've never been exposed to..but I listen to this dad and watched him and trial..you see a tatted guy that is the most honest, humble, sincere person. Doesn't shy from his past and seems so thankful and blessed ar where he stands. I can't imagine the pain but that's unconditional love- though it hurt he saved his son. I applaud this man and pray God brings him comfort, peace, & understanding..remarkable guy. Jaime
Jaime, Let's hope given time, Steve sees these posts and finds some comfort from kind words, like yours above . I really feel for this man, he is such a decent soul whose honesty shines through . The world desperately needs more people like Steve in it right now when morals sadly seem to have fallen to an all-time low . God bless him and his family .. sending big love and respect from across the pond 🏴
My heart feels crushed for this father. I can't imagine the hurt that he's feeling about this hole situation 😔 He must feel so torn because he had to turn his son in. He made the right choice, though.I imagine that if he had not turned his son in, there would have been more deaths. This was a good interview.
As a parent myself, I have so much respect for Wade's dad. He absolutely did the right thing. I can only imagine the heartbreak you (and your family) are feeling. Major respect sir.
@alex1850 as a parent yourself would you like a near on 15 year old getting your close to 12 year old pregnant. You are all missing the big picture here.

This poor man has more morals and values than 75% of the people in the world. He should be very proud of himself. His younger son maybe having a hard time for a short period but will forever proud of his father. It was a great interview on both sides.
@@jtonkin3 Sorry wrong...! my 2 were brought up exactly the same way.... They have different paths.... And without going into my tragic life, one sustained several "small" head injuries (sport), changed personality, then went onto drugs....hard drugs Life is his nightmare.... Dont judge....🙏
@@jtonkin3so giving a child a better life because you’re 15 years old, is bad?! Had they not given him up for adoption, the excuse would have been they should have never raised him they were too young and that’s why he turned out that way smh
Very good interview! Im a retired 32 year cop! So many times I heard from the parents of the suspect “not my Johnny y’all are picking on him”! I’m really impressed with this guys Father! He sounds like a stand up guy! When his son confessed to him! He turned him in, because he felt his son would hurt someone else! In which his son said he would have! So the father probably saved some poor unknown girl’s life!
@@justinc4924 better yet u should ask me how many times I saw somebody’s blown off over a bad drug deal! Or how many times I’ve been to an apartment with diapered infants laying on a filthy mattress with no power on, while the moms out doing crack! I’ve seen that more than once! U like drugs more power to u! Do all u want! I could care less
As a father I feel for this man, totally heartbreaking. The man did his best when his son came back into his life and the story has a tragic ending. Turning his son in was the right thing to do, I would have done the same. These girls deserved justice, and his dad did the right thing by helping them get it.

@@UnknownUnknown1 unfortunately that was not well said. Dad didn’t know he killed women until after these 2 women and then went straight to the police. You can’t save an addict who is an adult until they want to change. There is nothing the dad could have done to stop him. So you are wrong. The women who complained about being attacked by him prior to these 2 women being killed, it was their responsibility to go to the police, not his.

@CH-zm4jb I understand what you're saying, but I have to say the reason Wade is the way he is . Because when a real man brings a child in this world if wade dad did the right thing for his kid this wouldn't of happen I had me kids young but I didn't go to jail I raised my kids to be good men and they are. if you don't raise them, you have no say. his old man just wants his 15 min of fame. His father should have been there for his kid, not just at the end, giving your kid money is not raising them. Wade wasn't brought up he was drug up
I listened to a phone call between them. He laid it out for Wade. About being stupid enough to get a gofundme etc. He was horrible to his father. And his dad was telling him just to keep his mouth shut. Stop acting like a victim and stop drawing attention to his case. And wade started in on the total manipulation kick.
Man this dude shows next level grace in so many ways. It really stands out the way he goes out of his way to defend the biological mother and point out the challenges she was facing. It would be so easy to just dump on her and to make sure he himself looks better. He does the opposite and really points out his own mistakes with ease and frequency that took me by surprise. And the way he made the choice to assist in helping him get captured rather than the initial impulse to help him out had to be a major challenge.
he is a great example of someone turning their life around and using it to represent a changed man. He was the best father he could be with the cards he was dealt.
Thank you for having the bio dad on. I am so grateful to him for his bravery and kindness!! I can't imagine how difficult it was turning his son in. That was an inspiration and an incredible move. What a great interview @Lockdown 23and1
I could listen to this man speak for hours. So genuine, honest and of high morale character. You can tell he did everything he could have done given the hand that was dealt. You have my respect, sir 🫡
I agree. Wade had difficulties in his life for sure but also having this man as a father, even "only" later in life is a huge privilege I'm not even sure Wade realizes this. I lost my dad early in childhood and to have this kind of man on your team would have been a dream.
Steve, the fact that you wanted to raise Wade even tho you were just 15 yrs old yourself really speaks to the love you have for your son. You're an honorable man. He looks just like you. Even down to the dimples. Im sorry for what you're going through.
Steve, I had to come back after the interview and say a few more things, for what it's worth... Ppl have a lot to say about Wade's "coldness" during trial but it was evident to me that the two times he felt genuine emotion, in my opinion, was when Diane's son addressed the court. He felt that and when you testified. Not because you hurt him but because he knew the position he put you in and it was a no win. That bothered him, again, in my opinion from observation. You clearly were torn to your soul in that moment and I'm so sorry for that. You've never once made excuses or defended Wade's actions while still standing by your son as a father and even showing great compassion for the victims and their families. You're a helluva man, Sir and I give you the utmost respect. When your son asked for help with rehabilitation, without hesitation you jumped up and got him the help he needed. His location was of no factor to the outcome. Wade can easily get a woman to ride with him and he's a wild one. It wouldn't have mattered where you sent him, the outcome would have been the same because it's how he rolled so please take that burden off your heart. It's not your cross to bear. You have stood by your son and at the same time you've saved him from himself by not allowing him the opportunity to create more victims. You saved who knows how many innocent lives but still stood by his side as a father does. Anyone that faults you for a damn thing has no clue until they've walked a thousand miles in your shoes so fk them. You're a good dad since the age of 15 yrs old and you stepped up and did everything you could possibly do. Take comfort in knowing that because you did more than most would have done in your shoes but you did it all right. It was a pleasure to get to know you and Wade here today I'm just so sorry for the circumstances. Just keep being the amazing dad you've been. He needs you now more than ever. I pray for you and the road that lies ahead. I can't even imagine. My heart truly aches for you, sincerely. For what it's worth, the other side of Wade does shine through for those willing to look. He does have good qualities. He's very charming, he's funny, he has a nice laugh, I think he does have a loving side and he clearly loves you very much and I think that yes, there likely is a part of him that enjoyed committing those acts, however, I feel like he didn't want to feel that way. He didn't want to enjoy it and if he could have had the choice def would change that part of himself but unfortunately he couldn't do so. Not sure that could even be changed because no one really knows how that or why some ppl are like that. He had a good life. It's just the way he was and that's a hard thing to accept as a parent I'm sure because as humans we always want an explanation for what we can't understand. He has a good sense of style tho because his courtroom attire was on fire. Oh and my oldest son is 5'7" and my youngest is 6'3" at 20 years old. I'm 5'5" and my husband is 5'11". We don't know either, Steve. Haha I'm sure some ppl won't appreciate this but I'm gonna say it anyway, You have an extremely attractive son and that smile and those dimples can sure make a woman weak in the knees. He looks exactly like you, your little mini me. No disrespect to your wife for saying this but you're a very handsome man as well. If only his inside could have mirrored yours like the outside, he'd have done alright. I'll keep you in my prayers, Wade too and Thank You for this interview. It means a lot ❤ I wish you the best with everything.
@KatSpade1018 Yes! All of this 💯. Perfectly said. Steve, you're a great guy. You've done everything that you possibly could to help him. I'm in recovery for 8 years now. No amount of trips to rehab were going to help me until I was ready. Wade just wasn't ready. God Bless.
@@Sami-th9bx because although people make mistakes, it's how they handle it. If the son had the best life ever, he still could've turned out this way 🤷🏾♀️ The father is speaking some real shit and other fathers and parents might need to hear what he has to say, especially from a stance of things not turning out well
@@Nique25there comes a time in life where you have to take responsibility for your own actions a lot of us hard lives and didn’t hurt anyone he knew right from wrong he can’t put this on your parents
400,000. Kids in foster care in US because of many loser bio parents. Can you imagine what a piece of cra he would have been if Biological parents had kept him. He had a great childhood because of the wilsons adoption...yet hes a horrible grown man.. lucky he wasn't raised in a bad home. .. losers bread losers.. id be getting a DNA...
Great interview josh. R.I.P Christine and Diane. Wishing wade dad and family all the additional victims of this situation some type of peace and healing. 🙏
what a huge compliment that Steve chose to appear on your channel when you know all the local and national news channels have been chomping at the bit to talk to him.
Yes this was a lovely conversation!! It flowed so naturally!! Plus Steve made the right decision choosing this platform so his words wouldn’t get chopped up and misconstrued! Here he was able to take his time and talk freely!
A man that chooses to protect society rather than protect his son is a man with a moral code that guides his life. It’s unfortunate for Wade that you weren’t a bigger influence on him growing up, sir. I think he could’ve been a better human. As hard a decision as it was for this father to make, he made the right decision. We women THANK YOU for making the decision to turn him in.
Funny don't say that shit. You sound stupid ASF. MEMBER that when the gov is taking your rights bec society even tho your body your choice wtcetxerx ur rights ... Y'all are clowns. And wade is a disgusting human period. But u don't use society as a fucking foundation to make COMMUNIST statements
He had a good father. He didn't even know this guy. Why are you saying he would have turned out better had that dude been around??! He had a good Dad who raised him.
I see where Wade got his looks from. His father is a beautiful man….inside and out. I can see that he really tried to help Wade mentally, but unfortunately he couldn’t reach him. Wades dad did the right thing. Thank you for saving the lives of other women that day.
I can't even begin to wrap my head around what this man has gone thru emotionally as a parent, not once, but twice and what he is now... and will forever go through because at the end of the day when the sentence was handed down to Wade and he went to prison and all the lights in the courthouse turned off and the judge and jury went home and all the reporters were gone ....this man was left with unbelievable pain and suffering that most of us can't even begin to imagine!!! 😔 .... No matter what when it comes right down to it.....he is still a Dad! A Dad that did not choose this for his son...a Dad that will never get the chance to have any other kind of relationship with his son but through a telephone and a damn kiosk!! 😢🙏 ... Kudos to you sir!!! I don't even want to begin to think how F'___ing hard this is on you! You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers 🙏💞
Sir, GOD bless you for the courage and difficulty I’m sure sharing this took. You are an inspiration. I appreciate your transparency. May you and your family be given peace. Wades family and the victims family’s as well.
My mom got pregnant with me at 14, she had me at 15. I was born in 85, and my mom was my best friend. Because she was so young, I always thought my mom would be around till I was at least in my 50s or 60s. It’s a trip having the person that loves you most, and knows you best, leave this world. She passed suddenly in her sleep in her own bed in 2022 at the age 52 I believe. It’s a pain like no other, but she couldn’t have gone in a better way, so at least there’s that. Rip to my mom Christine Angela Manica ❤🙏
Sorry for your loss, I feel your pain. I was born In June ‘85 and my mom passed away in November 2022. I’m still going through as well. Hugs and condolences sent, let’s be strong.
I’m so sorry your momma passed. I know this pain. She will be with you your entire life….I feel my momma’s presence daily. Imagine wings of an angel wrappers around you and hovering over you…. That’s her! ❤❤❤❤ a guardian angel.
Steve has spoken so respectfully of all involved. Wades parents were children my God when Wade was born. We all have a past like Steve says. We learn and grow every day. I am not the same person I was yesterday and I'll have grown a little more by tomorrow. His heart is already broken, as a youth he lost his family, 15 he looses his son .. Then his son is a murderer and looses his son again. "Its must easier to be genuine and honest than to use people" Steve nailed it with that statement. May Steve and his family stay grounded, courageous, Loving and protected from the Haters!
Steve, don’t feel guilty for doing the right thing. My son is 29 and he’s literally Wade 2.0. He hasn’t unalived anyone, but everything else that you mentioned is my son exactly. I can relate with everything you’ve said. I’ve put my son in jail multiple times because when he’s not on drugs he’s such a great guy, but as soon as he’s on M he’s a monster. I will be praying for you and your family as you go through this situation. Don’t blame yourself you are a good person.
I'm so sorry your going through this I'm PROUD OF YOU for standing up to your " baby" thts wht a REAL PARENT DOES I wish I had it took a lot for me to finally stand up and by the time I did she had been to rehab 3 times @17 and was on probation and was violating it daily and it was me or her going to jail I choose her I haven't heard from her since I know where she is but I haven't contacted her just like I found her she can find me I got her when she was 10 I had no history on her but I loved her it WASNT enough
Steve you are an honorable man. Thank you for being there for your son but also for the families of these two deceased girls. You were stuck between a rock and a hard place.
What a sweet guy, I love his honesty and the love he shows his son. I can't imagine the heartbreak of handing over his son and realising the crimes he actually committed. Devastating
@@susandavis4294yeah poor guy I'm a dad and I couldn't picture having to hand in my son it would break my heart I can't even fathom what this guy is going through knowing your son murdered three women God bless him.
I’m telling you right now. That dad made the right choice and most of us will never know just how hard that decision was and still is for him. My heart goes out to him.
His father needed a platform to explain his sadness thank you for giving him that platform. It has to be very difficult for a father to have to deal with us.
@@juniemoon1528Yes very sad when he aggressively calls one of his son's abuse victims a MF And other things, just cause she spoke out. This man is a con artist just like his son.
@@PoppasboyOtisI have parental issues and biases, my parents are straight up narcissistic and only love themselves truly, so I hear where you’re coming from nurture over nature and ALL THAT 100%! BUT… this case seems very nuanced considering the fact that dad didn’t have a choice from being a child himself behind bars, and I don’t think mom did either hearing her parents went to church. Most likely they shamed her into having a baby she was not ready to have… she probably faced post partum pretty bad being forced into having a baby and probably adoption too. Post partum can permanently affect a woman’s brain without help… so it’s probably why she still has problems to this day ontop of whatever else she may have been through with her parents who forced her into giving birth and cared more about “godliness” over their own daughters well being, or the future child’s. This case is a perfect example of why abortion should be an option, and should be de-stigmatized.
That was a wonderful conversation. His biological father 100% did the right thing. He is a true example of redemption and how to turn your life around. No ones perfect. He truly had influence on Wade for that moment in time.
Much respect for this man. First for agreeing to adoption as a boy, not able to support a child. Second, for stopping his own son from being able to hurt other people. No matter what this man has been through, or what mistakes in the past, this seems to me to prove that people change, and just because you may have a criminal record, doesn't mean you are all equal. I thank God for this good man.
Wade is a sacrificial byproduct for what needed to happen in his bio father's life. His father needed this to happen. He was not meant to be in Wade's life for whatever reason for a period of time. And now, he was places back into ha son's life. I believe it it so that he could heal for the past. My hubby just told me all this and i truly believe it. The universe or God is giving the dad this opportunity to see that this was all for a reason. Wade is still a POS. He has no excuses. I hope his dad will heal and not have any guilt.
I have so much respect for this man. What he did wasn’t easy….for any parent. But he did the right thing. You can hear the regret and pain in his story. But I believe his birth parents did what was best for them and for their infant child at the time and I think he has a huge heart and is incredible for getting to know his son and trying to help him when they reconnected.
Damn. This is one of the Realest interviews you could have pulled. The insight. The conversations a son having with his father. The excitement and enjoyment from the murders. The father having to realize that it would happen again and having to decide make a decision. Wades father having so much hope for him and memories flashing before his eyes as he speaks to him the sense of doom his child has created around himself and as a father having no control. Deep insight. 💯
This has been the best interview I’ve seen on this case. I saw the entire trial, and heard all of the phone calls released so far. I feel so bad for Steve. He loves his son but isn’t blind to the horrors that he committed. He has true integrity. You are an excellent interviewer, thank you for giving him the space to fully answer every question and set the record straight.
This guy is the real deal. He is the definition of unconditional love for his child. I can see his pain. I read that some people don’t understand why he is so open. I think it’s a very teachable moment for young people. Drugs and mental illness is serious and it’s not to be looked over.
@@BoatGoatTvhe was a child behind bars, had very little control at that point. Sounds like the mother didn’t either, with Christian parents, went to church was a red flag that they would not allow her to have an abortion. Problem solved if they would have.
@BoatGoatTv He was 15 and a juvenile delinquent. His gf was 14. The right thing to do in that case in this society is give your child to responsible adults to raise. They were kids. What kind of life could they have given a baby?
Anyone who condemns this man needs to do some Soul searching because, son or not, he did the right thing. This man always showed Unconditional Love for Wade during all the calls despite what he did, and he always thought and spoke very respectfully about the victims and their family. I wonder how all those judgemental people would feel if someone killed their child. This man has ensured, despite his Unconditional Love for his child, that his son can no longer kill any woman. This is a good man and good dad. 🙏
would’ve been preferable if he was raised to not kill any women thankfully he turned him in but kids need to grow up with so much love and stability when they don’t society suffers
This isn’t the result of being a bad father. This is a result of being an orphan and a father at age 15. He never had a dad. How could he be a better parent? He did what he could but the son was put up for adoption without the father having an advocate as a teenager. The biological dad said the people who adopted him were good people. This is all on the son.
What a powerful Interview. Thank you. My heart goes out to this father. He did right by his son and the community. What a strong man he is. Nothing good EXCEPT truth could make Wade's choices right.
Wade's father has such kind eyes. Wade has a strong resemblance to his dad, but Wade's eyes are very cold & dead looking. Steven, you did the right thing. I can't even imagine you feel but you are a hero for turning Wade in. Wishing you the best from UK

And now, he was places back into ha son's life. I believe it it so that he could heal for the past. My hubby just told me all this and i truly believe it. The universe or God is giving the dad this opportunity to see that this was all for a reason. Wade is still a POS. He has no excuses. I hope his dad will heal and not have any guilt.
As a recovering addict, I can definitely tell you that people do stuff on drugs that they would never ever do without drugs. But the fact that we still put those chemicals in our body makes our conscious choice. This dad seems like a really awesome solid dude who is trying to be supportive through one of the most unimaginable situations
It’s one thing if it’s a little weed, or coke… but if it harder drugs like meth or heroin it is in no way a choice. I mean, addiction is never a choice, but certain drugs are way worse, and you physically need them.
I’ve never been addicted to real drugs but spent over 20 years addicted to weed and when I didn’t have it I was a shit persona to be around but when I had it I felt normal and was a great person I feel, my question is, don’t the drugs make you want to calm down and chill out and feel good? Not want to become violent?
@@Pitbulllover77-y3lbrother coke psychosis is just as bad as amphetamines, the dose makes the poison. I’ve been under both and never killed anyone or even had a violent thought, just saw some shadow people and was hospitalized. Based on his reactions in court he liked doing it.
All humans make mistakes and deserve a second chance.. in the dad's case and he's mature now and obviously done a lot of soul searching to get to where he is now to be so insightful honest and kind and caring.. love him
@@FleurGenoux I would venture to guess that he was into drugs and maybe did some related crimes but was nowhere as bad as his son. The son is a hardcore narcissist which usually does not go away.
@@SueP-jg9vx I agree and drugs and stuff when young isn't so bad but the penalty is. Heroin is bad but marijuana not so much depends on the level and I guess selling something that could ruin someone's life is bad but I was comparing it to murder it's different.. the Dad needs to counsel young kids and do public motivational speaking for drug addicted people in rehabs.. he's really divine being and powerful with his manner and thought processes I'm impressed by him. sad about Wade for him anyway life goes on xx
I'm not even halfway done, but wanted to mention how good of an interviewer you are. You didn't talk over him and let him speak. Very, very good so far.
@@lululiga333Fuck off. Hey I didn't bother thinking about it before I said that. Show's your honor and loyalty are nothing and I'm glad you have absolutely nothing to do with me. Thank fucking God.
Well in retrospect.. he should have kept his kid .. I get it ..but I swear to God if this was me ..I'd blame myself for conceiving a child and letting someone else f them up.. I'd feel responsible for those two innocent girls losing their life.. maybe when they reconnected his dad should have really trued. Idk I get it. Lots of ppl give t h eir kids up for adoption ..and it turns out better than this but . Oh well ..I'd blame myself for not being convicted enough to raise my own child idc
@@mariamaria2751the dad was barely 15 and sounds like the mom also a kid already made the choice and did thw adoption while dad was in juvie still, he prob had no clue even how to keep his kid at that age, u should save ur judgement for this father and try a little empathy and respect because i can literally hear in this mans voice how genuine he is about being a good person amd how much pain he is in. He has alot of love for his son despite his sons horrible actions, but his dad is doing an amazing job at balancing that love while also holding wade to his accountability for his actions. This dad seems like an amazingly strong and genuine human being. Im not sure many people could manage the position he is in now with as much love, hurt, truth and respect as he is doing. My hats off to this man. I admire how he is handling things. Also props to his wife because she must b incredibky supportive to her husband while balancing the the realization of the horrible crimes hia son committed. that could destroy a marriage easily. I am amazed at how well they are balancing this
Wow ! I’m completely impressed by his father . During this interview was raw , respectful , and empathetic. You can tell he learned so much through his trials and tribulations in life . I enjoyed hearing him speak and I will keep him , the victims and the families in my prayers 🙏
@@aliwalker7667 it was so much different !!! They do studies on how teen pregnancy is down with recent generations . we didn’t have computers. We didn’t communicate through a phone. We also had jobs before we were 18. It’s just a completely different world and people are so judgmental.
Thx 🙏🏼.. for the good talk,a real talk,a true talk....a fathers Story...a great conversation between you two !!! Father had a good mind & good heart !! ❤
Wow, what an interview! My heart breaks for that dad. Big and bulky as he is, he has such a tender and giving heart. Prayers and condolences to both girl’s families.
Man, talk about a crushing feeling as a father. I cant even imagine having to turn my baby boy in, But like he said he's a man now. IMO he fulfilled his duty as a father just by doing the right thing.
You can see the love and the pain for his son. He did absolutely the right thing. He did it with so much love for his son and the others that would have been in his path. Mental health is hard for the one with it but it’s just as hard for the ones that love them. God bless this Dad and Wade’s soul.
I came over from Jumpsuitpablo. New subscriber. Steve, you're a good man. You 100% did the right thing. You saved many woman's lives. Your a hero. Great interview.
I have so much respect for dad. I cannot imagine his position. He seems so level headed and only wanted the best for his boy. This is a really sad story. & dad 1000% did the right thing!!!!❤
Dude Wade's dad is a badass m-effer but he's still so lovable and has a comforting energy about him... He and Wade have the same eyes but his dad's eyes have a soul and they twinkle with kindness when he laughs. Unlike Wade's eyes which have a serial killer darkness to them... Those cold empty eyes haunt me in my dreams....
The way that he defends Wade's biological Mum is nothing short of beautiful. There's sonething incredibly honest and gentle about this man.. and I think he will be a pivotal part in Wade's journey inside.. he can do some awesome things inside.. we live in very misogynistic, violent and drug addled times.. and if Wade can do anything to help deter others from any part of those things.. then all is not lost.
Well so far he has been nothing but trouble in there!! He has an attempted murder for hire case and a drug case pending from being in jail. He will be there for a long time so hopefully he turns his life around!!
@@Tawana_XNot going to happen…the fact that he immediately proceeded to continue manipulating and verbally abusing multiple women (not that I feel sorry for any woman stupid enough to support a violent criminal!) and focusing only on ‘the kiosk’ - like everyone he meets’ only life purpose is to take care of him - shows that he is rotten at his core, has no remorse, and he’s learned nothing from his being convicted of such horrible crimes.
I really feel for this Dad. I gave up my baby when I was 17 years old and I can tell you that it is the hardest decision I’ve ever made and it still hurts me even though it has been 28 years and I know the person who adopted him and I still have updates.! I hope and pray that he will come to find me one day and I loved him so much and I wanted the best life possible and I wasn’t able to provide him what he deserved. I was absued by his father and I was afraid to bring him to the world of that. I got away from him but I know how that pain feels even if you know that you’re child is going to be in a wonderful family that pain especially for the mother is the most painful thing in the world. The fact is that they loved him so much that they did the best thing for him. I understand why the mom has issues with drugs because she is trying to make her pain go away even for a little while but unless you have been in the position of the biological parent’s you have no idea how much it hurts. And I agree with the dad and I would have turned him into the police to and you don’t know what would happen if he went on the run and still using the cops could have shot him or he could have killed somebody else.
Bless you. I have a very soft spot in my heart for mothers who give up their babies for adoption so that they can have a better life. I know that must have completely ripped your heart out. I'm so glad that you were able to keep in touch with your child... And I also understand why Wade's bio mom has had a rough go of it. She was just a child herself. For her to have to grow up and go through life with that hole in her heart, and then to see the monster he turned into, and then have to wrestle with all the "what ifs"...hell, I'd probably be on drugs too! I hope that poor lady doesn't blame herself anymore, and I hope she can heal one day.💜
I don't think the world needs anymore interviews after this.What an absolute wild ride the past few weeks have been. Thank you for clarifying so many questions. Its easy to see you have a lot of kindness, compassion and empathy in your heart, Steve. I'm so sorry to all those hurt in this story. The victims, their families, all of the parents, siblings and children, the ex girlfriends and even Wade for throwing his whole damn life away in such a senseless manner. How ironic that with all of the violence and hatred he has directed towards women, its now women who are trying to save him. I hope one day that realization hits him harder than anything hes ever experienced before. May peace and healing find you all.
If Wade is executed i know you will struggle with feelings. Thats natural. But as a single woman, i thank you for helping keep countless women safe. You heard the excitement in his voice and recognized the sound of the birth of a serial killer. You did what was hard, but right on so many levels.
I love how he pointed out that Wade won’t act that way towards a man. Only towards women because he’s a coward. Straight honesty. He tells it how it is.
Imagine this .. maybe the church going adopted parents (mom) abused him in ways that's not being openly discussed ... Because it happens.. hence his hatred towards women ?
I knew it. Never a story of him fighting a man, only bullying women. He should be well received in the joint.
Never fails always the same exact type of psychop‼️‼️‼️

This man lost his son twice and that makes me so sad, even if it was the right thing. That was an honorable move, Dad.
He enabled his son during his addiction. That was a big mistake
@@FionasNonnasadly this isn't uncommon but still this man was a full grown adult when this all happened. I grew up with my step dad being an addict. Several of my friends parents as well. My dad's now clean and even he will tell you it's you who is responsible for your own sobriety it took him 10 years to finally get clean. Enabling doesn't help with them not getting more drugs but if you've ever known an addict they hustle and go on side quests and make money to get the drugs either way.
@@FionasNonnawhether his dad helped with money or not. Wade Wilson would've still gotten the drugs and whatever he wanted. It's how it goes his dad tried to get him help by sending him to a treatment center Wade Wilson stayed in the center for a few weeks in palm Beach then left with a friend so when you look at it he didn't want to get clean. One thing I've learned about addicts is they have to want to get clean you can't force them to get clean
@@FionasNonnastop victim blaming. This man did nothing to cause Wade to do what he did, but now he will forever be known as the man who fathered this m onster.
@CataniaNonna omg the Dad did his best he had to get to know him first before he could even actually attempt to help etc. You are such n idiot for making such a hurtful comment
This was such a raw and honest conversation between two fathers - very powerful.

His dad should have picked him up and got him help before it escalated to violence. After all these young girls had cried for help 😢 he was a walking time bomb 💣
His child is sick mentally. He was a responsible man in supporting his son. Thankfully he realized how sick he was and turned him in. What a courageous father.
Yes, very sick. Very sad for ALL.
True🙌🏼
He s not « sick », he s a sexist criminal and a pervert.

He also knew Wade got aggressive when he did meth and that he was in active addiction and did NOTHING. he clda saved both of these womens lives by being a man and addressing Wade head on but he was too scared to. He called Wade a coward? The apple don’t fall far from the tree. The only bc reason he snitched on Wade is bc he was scared Wade wld come for him next.

Well said 😊❤ 8:44
@@UnknownUnknown1wow!! 10:24
@@UnknownUnknown1 unfortunately that was not well said. Dad didn’t know he killed women until after these 2 women and then went straight to the police. You can’t save an addict who is an adult until they want to change. There is nothing the dad could have done to stop him. So you are wrong. The women who complained about being attacked by him prior to these 2 women being killed, it was their responsibility to go to the police, not his.
This dude seems like a genuinely good dad to have. he seems very well cleaned up from his rough past. My dad wasn't around. This is a good man
Wade is a sacrificial byproduct for what needed to happen in his bio father's life. His father needed this to happen. He was not meant to be in Wade's life for whatever reason for a period of time. And now, he was places back into ha son's life. I believe it it so that he could heal for the past. My hubby just told me all this and i truly believe it. The universe or God is giving the dad this opportunity to see that this was all for a reason. Wade is still a POS. He has no excuses. I hope his dad will heal and not have any guilt.
@@DaleGribbleSrhis dad likely blames himself and don’t see it this way
You sir have earned your right to have an opinion. Surround yourself with stand up good men.
@CH-zm4jb I understand what you're saying, but I have to say the reason Wade is the way he is . Because when a real man brings a child in this world if wade dad did the right thing for his kid this wouldn't of happen I had me kids young but I didn't go to jail I raised my kids to be good men and they are. if you don't raise them, you have no say. his old man just wants his 15 min of fame. His father should have been there for his kid, not just at the end, giving your kid money is not raising them. Wade wasn't brought up he was drug up
I listened to a phone call between them. He laid it out for Wade. About being stupid enough to get a gofundme etc. He was horrible to his father. And his dad was telling him just to keep his mouth shut. Stop acting like a victim and stop drawing attention to his case. And wade started in on the total manipulation kick.
Man this dude shows next level grace in so many ways. It really stands out the way he goes out of his way to defend the biological mother and point out the challenges she was facing. It would be so easy to just dump on her and to make sure he himself looks better. He does the opposite and really points out his own mistakes with ease and frequency that took me by surprise. And the way he made the choice to assist in helping him get captured rather than the initial impulse to help him out had to be a major challenge.
He is an amazing man and dad. I can see where Wade gets his charm and looks. Too bad he didn't get his dad's heart.
That's what normal people do.
May be if they wouldn't shut him from their lives. Couldn't they at least stay in touch with him
He’s creepy. This dad is a creep.
he is a great example of someone turning their life around and using it to represent a changed man. He was the best father he could be with the cards he was dealt.
Thank you for having the bio dad on. I am so grateful to him for his bravery and kindness!!
I can't imagine how difficult it was turning his son in. That was an inspiration and an incredible move. What a great interview @Lockdown 23and1
I could listen to this man speak for hours. So genuine, honest and of high morale character. You can tell he did everything he could have done given the hand that was dealt. You have my respect, sir 🫡
GREAT radio voice as well. I feel so bad for what they are going through.🥺
I agree. Wade had difficulties in his life for sure but also having this man as a father, even "only" later in life is a huge privilege I'm not even sure Wade realizes this. I lost my dad early in childhood and to have this kind of man on your team would have been a dream.
Yea I’ve met many many people in my life and people like him aren’t very common.
Steve, the fact that you wanted to raise Wade even tho you were just 15 yrs old yourself really speaks to the love you have for your son. You're an honorable man. He looks just like you. Even down to the dimples. Im sorry for what you're going through.
Steve, I had to come back after the interview and say a few more things, for what it's worth...
Ppl have a lot to say about Wade's "coldness" during trial but it was evident to me that the two times he felt genuine emotion, in my opinion, was when Diane's son addressed the court. He felt that and when you testified. Not because you hurt him but because he knew the position he put you in and it was a no win. That bothered him, again, in my opinion from observation. You clearly were torn to your soul in that moment and I'm so sorry for that. You've never once made excuses or defended Wade's actions while still standing by your son as a father and even showing great compassion for the victims and their families. You're a helluva man, Sir and I give you the utmost respect.
When your son asked for help with rehabilitation, without hesitation you jumped up and got him the help he needed. His location was of no factor to the outcome. Wade can easily get a woman to ride with him and he's a wild one. It wouldn't have mattered where you sent him, the outcome would have been the same because it's how he rolled so please take that burden off your heart. It's not your cross to bear.
You have stood by your son and at the same time you've saved him from himself by not allowing him the opportunity to create more victims. You saved who knows how many innocent lives but still stood by his side as a father does. Anyone that faults you for a damn thing has no clue until they've walked a thousand miles in your shoes so fk them. You're a good dad since the age of 15 yrs old and you stepped up and did everything you could possibly do. Take comfort in knowing that because you did more than most would have done in your shoes but you did it all right. It was a pleasure to get to know you and Wade here today I'm just so sorry for the circumstances. Just keep being the amazing dad you've been. He needs you now more than ever. I pray for you and the road that lies ahead. I can't even imagine. My heart truly aches for you, sincerely. For what it's worth, the other side of Wade does shine through for those willing to look. He does have good qualities. He's very charming, he's funny, he has a nice laugh, I think he does have a loving side and he clearly loves you very much and I think that yes, there likely is a part of him that enjoyed committing those acts, however, I feel like he didn't want to feel that way. He didn't want to enjoy it and if he could have had the choice def would change that part of himself but unfortunately he couldn't do so. Not sure that could even be changed because no one really knows how that or why some ppl are like that. He had a good life. It's just the way he was and that's a hard thing to accept as a parent I'm sure because as humans we always want an explanation for what we can't understand.
He has a good sense of style tho because his courtroom attire was on fire.
Oh and my oldest son is 5'7" and my youngest is 6'3" at 20 years old. I'm 5'5" and my husband is 5'11". We don't know either, Steve. Haha
I'm sure some ppl won't appreciate this but I'm gonna say it anyway, You have an extremely attractive son and that smile and those dimples can sure make a woman weak in the knees. He looks exactly like you, your little mini me. No disrespect to your wife for saying this but you're a very handsome man as well. If only his inside could have mirrored yours like the outside, he'd have done alright.
I'll keep you in my prayers, Wade too and Thank You for this interview. It means a lot ❤ I wish you the best with everything.
@KatSpade1018 Yes! All of this 💯. Perfectly said. Steve, you're a great guy. You've done everything that you possibly could to help him. I'm in recovery for 8 years now. No amount of trips to rehab were going to help me until I was ready. Wade just wasn't ready. God Bless.
He never said that he wanted to raise the kid. He said it was better for wade to go live with that other family
HONORABLE??? MOLESTING A 14YR OLD GIRL IS HONORABLE??? HE IS GUTTER TRASH
@texascrimestories And having se x with a 14yr old like it was a normal thing to do makes me SICK. A 14 year old cannot consent to that.R A P E
I sincerely hope Steve writes a book about his own life. My gut tells me there is a powerful testimony the world needs to hear. He is very wise. ❤
That’s an idea. Could be amazing and soulful, as the dad seems that way. A parents perspective on having a baby so young and keeping it, more or less.
😂😂😂 what for? He failed his son too!
@@Sami-th9bx because although people make mistakes, it's how they handle it. If the son had the best life ever, he still could've turned out this way 🤷🏾♀️ The father is speaking some real shit and other fathers and parents might need to hear what he has to say, especially from a stance of things not turning out well
@@Nique25there comes a time in life where you have to take responsibility for your own actions a lot of us hard lives and didn’t hurt anyone he knew right from wrong he can’t put this on your parents
400,000. Kids in foster care in US because of many loser bio parents. Can you imagine what a piece of cra he would have been if Biological parents had kept him. He had a great childhood because of the wilsons adoption...yet hes a horrible grown man.. lucky he wasn't raised in a bad home. .. losers bread losers.. id be getting a DNA...
Great interview josh. R.I.P Christine and Diane. Wishing wade dad and family all the additional victims of this situation some type of peace and healing. 🙏
what a huge compliment that Steve chose to appear on your channel when you know all the local and national news channels have been chomping at the bit to talk to him.
Yes this was a lovely conversation!! It flowed so naturally!! Plus Steve made the right decision choosing this platform so his words wouldn’t get chopped up and misconstrued! Here he was able to take his time and talk freely!
That's Josh for ya !!! He's got that trait called integrity.
A man that chooses to protect society rather than protect his son is a man with a moral code that guides his life. It’s unfortunate for Wade that you weren’t a bigger influence on him growing up, sir. I think he could’ve been a better human. As hard a decision as it was for this father to make, he made the right decision. We women THANK YOU for making the decision to turn him in.
Absolutely
Funny don't say that shit. You sound stupid ASF. MEMBER that when the gov is taking your rights bec society even tho your body your choice wtcetxerx ur rights ... Y'all are clowns. And wade is a disgusting human period. But u don't use society as a fucking foundation to make COMMUNIST statements
💯 👏👏
he was barely his son he didn’t raise him
He had a good father. He didn't even know this guy. Why are you saying he would have turned out better had that dude been around??! He had a good Dad who raised him.
I see where Wade got his looks from. His father is a beautiful man….inside and out. I can see that he really tried to help Wade mentally, but unfortunately he couldn’t reach him. Wades dad did the right thing. Thank you for saving the lives of other women that day.
I agree ❤
Yeah he’s got his dimples and eyes
Hell he has a lot of catching up to do in the looks department to touch Daddy lol
Yes that’s admirable for a parent to do that. I know it probably wasn’t easy. But he saved so many future lives.
An hour interview and y’all hoes concerns are the man’s looks.. smh
I love that he pointed out Wade only pulls this shit with women and knows not to try it with men.
Good on him for turning him in.
This interview was incredible. He seems like a genuine good man. He made the right choice. His son is where he needs to be. Thank you so much Josh! ❤
I can't even begin to wrap my head around what this man has gone thru emotionally as a parent, not once, but twice and what he is now... and will forever go through because at the end of the day when the sentence was handed down to Wade and he went to prison and all the lights in the courthouse turned off and the judge and jury went home and all the reporters were gone ....this man was left with unbelievable pain and suffering that most of us can't even begin to imagine!!! 😔 .... No matter what when it comes right down to it.....he is still a Dad! A Dad that did not choose this for his son...a Dad that will never get the chance to have any other kind of relationship with his son but through a telephone and a damn kiosk!! 😢🙏 ... Kudos to you sir!!! I don't even want to begin to think how F'___ing hard this is on you! You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers 🙏💞
I love what you wrote and I wrote nothing because you said it right for me. I’m with you :)

This man has such a genuine energy, you can tell he is a real one and is handling such an absurd situation like a man. Great interview!!
A genuine energy who has sex with 13 year old children ?????
Wade's Dad is a stand up guy. This is crushing him. He has nothing to feel guilty or ashamed for.
Mad respect for this father. To be so vulnerable, open and honest. Thank you for doing the right thing.
My mom got pregnant with me at 14, she had me at 15. I was born in 85, and my mom was my best friend. Because she was so young, I always thought my mom would be around till I was at least in my 50s or 60s. It’s a trip having the person that loves you most, and knows you best, leave this world. She passed suddenly in her sleep in her own bed in 2022 at the age 52 I believe. It’s a pain like no other, but she couldn’t have gone in a better way, so at least there’s that. Rip to my mom Christine Angela Manica ❤🙏

Steve has spoken so respectfully of all involved. Wades parents were children my God when Wade was born. We all have a past like Steve says. We learn and grow every day. I am not the same person I was yesterday and I'll have grown a little more by tomorrow. His heart is already broken, as a youth he lost his family, 15 he looses his son .. Then his son is a murderer and looses his son again. "Its must easier to be genuine and honest than to use people" Steve nailed it with that statement. May Steve and his family stay grounded, courageous, Loving and protected from the Haters!
Steve, don’t feel guilty for doing the right thing. My son is 29 and he’s literally Wade 2.0. He hasn’t unalived anyone, but everything else that you mentioned is my son exactly. I can relate with everything you’ve said. I’ve put my son in jail multiple times because when he’s not on drugs he’s such a great guy, but as soon as he’s on M he’s a monster. I will be praying for you and your family as you go through this situation. Don’t blame yourself you are a good person.
We pray for you too. ❤
@@ChildofGod-g8f thank you so much!!

I'm so sorry your going through this I'm PROUD OF YOU for standing up to your " baby" thts wht a REAL PARENT DOES I wish I had it took a lot for me to finally stand up and by the time I did she had been to rehab 3 times @17 and was on probation and was violating it daily and it was me or her going to jail I choose her I haven't heard from her since I know where she is but I haven't contacted her just like I found her she can find me I got her when she was 10 I had no history on her but I loved her it WASNT enough
Unalive- no such word. George Orwell ps push back on this communist push!!!!
Steve you are an honorable man. Thank you for being there for your son but also for the families of these two deceased girls. You were stuck between a rock and a hard place.
That is one strong man. I can’t even begin to fathom what he’s dealing with emotionally. Lots of respect for him.

I’m telling you right now. That dad made the right choice and most of us will never know just how hard that decision was and still is for him. My heart goes out to him.
His father needed a platform to explain his sadness thank you for giving him that platform. It has to be very difficult for a father to have to deal with us.
He don't sound sad at all
@@PoppasboyOtisHe “don’t?” Have you heard his calls with Wade? Very sad.
He's not his father. He didn't raise him. He was a sperm donor.
@@juniemoon1528Yes very sad when he aggressively calls one of his son's abuse victims a MF And other things, just cause she spoke out. This man is a con artist just like his son.
@@PoppasboyOtisI have parental issues and biases, my parents are straight up narcissistic and only love themselves truly, so I hear where you’re coming from nurture over nature and ALL THAT 100%! BUT… this case seems very nuanced considering the fact that dad didn’t have a choice from being a child himself behind bars, and I don’t think mom did either hearing her parents went to church. Most likely they shamed her into having a baby she was not ready to have… she probably faced post partum pretty bad being forced into having a baby and probably adoption too. Post partum can permanently affect a woman’s brain without help… so it’s probably why she still has problems to this day ontop of whatever else she may have been through with her parents who forced her into giving birth and cared more about “godliness” over their own daughters well being, or the future child’s.
This case is a perfect example of why abortion should be an option, and should be de-stigmatized.
That was a wonderful conversation. His biological father 100% did the right thing. He is a true example of redemption and how to turn your life around. No ones perfect. He truly had influence on Wade for that moment in time.
God Bless this father.
@@leosunrising yes he made the right decision and did the right thing for the right reason. Wade is where he belongs.
Much respect for this man. First for agreeing to adoption as a boy, not able to support a child. Second, for stopping his own son from being able to hurt other people. No matter what this man has been through, or what mistakes in the past, this seems to me to prove that people change, and just because you may have a criminal record, doesn't mean you are all equal. I thank God for this good man.
Agree. I'm not a very religious person but God loves using the least of us and turning us into good in the Bible.
Wade is a sacrificial byproduct for what needed to happen in his bio father's life. His father needed this to happen. He was not meant to be in Wade's life for whatever reason for a period of time.

As many as it takes ro reach Wade's father. @@anti-ethniccleansing465
I have so much respect for this man. What he did wasn’t easy….for any parent. But he did the right thing. You can hear the regret and pain in his story. But I believe his birth parents did what was best for them and for their infant child at the time and I think he has a huge heart and is incredible for getting to know his son and trying to help him when they reconnected.
Damn. This is one of the Realest interviews you could have pulled. The insight. The conversations a son having with his father. The excitement and enjoyment from the murders. The father having to realize that it would happen again and having to decide make a decision. Wades father having so much hope for him and memories flashing before his eyes as he speaks to him the sense of doom his child has created around himself and as a father having no control. Deep insight. 💯
This has been the best interview I’ve seen on this case. I saw the entire trial, and heard all of the phone calls released so far. I feel so bad for Steve. He loves his son but isn’t blind to the horrors that he committed. He has true integrity. You are an excellent interviewer, thank you for giving him the space to fully answer every question and set the record straight.
Great. How he tells he is a coward. Not good with men!!!
💯 agree 👍🏼
Yes - that's the word here - integrity.
I agree. So much respect for this man.
I agree that he loves his style of interviewing. The father is an amazing pure soul
This guy is the real deal. He is the definition of unconditional love for his child. I can see his pain. I read that some people don’t understand why he is so open. I think it’s a very teachable moment for young people. Drugs and mental illness is serious and it’s not to be looked over.
True ITS a Point, but they have been Kids by themselfes at that time @@BoatGoatTv
@@BoatGoatTvhe was a child behind bars, had very little control at that point. Sounds like the mother didn’t either, with Christian parents, went to church was a red flag that they would not allow her to have an abortion. Problem solved if they would have.

Love for Wade during all the calls despite what he did, and he always thought and spoke very respectfully about the victims and their family.
I wonder how all those judgemental people would feel if someone killed their child. This man has ensured, despite his Unconditional Love for his child, that his son can no longer kill any woman.
This is a good man and good dad. 🙏
would’ve been preferable if he was raised to not kill any women thankfully he turned him in but kids need to grow up with so much love and stability when they don’t society suffers
Well said!
@@twilitHe didn't have the chance to raise him. He was 15 when he was born and in juvenile hall when he was given up for adoption
Yes, we can see that😂😂😂😂😂😂😂NOT!!!
This isn’t the result of being a bad father. This is a result of being an orphan and a father at age 15. He never had a dad. How could he be a better parent? He did what he could but the son was put up for adoption without the father having an advocate as a teenager. The biological dad said the people who adopted him were good people. This is all on the son.
What a powerful Interview. Thank you. My heart goes out to this father. He did right by his son and the community. What a strong man he is. Nothing good EXCEPT truth could make Wade's choices right.

@CH-zm4jb there will always be regret. He must remind himself of the lives he saved going forward.
As a recovering addict, I can definitely tell you that people do stuff on drugs that they would never ever do without drugs. But the fact that we still put those chemicals in our body makes our conscious choice. This dad seems like a really awesome solid dude who is trying to be supportive through one of the most unimaginable situations
Amen!
It’s one thing if it’s a little weed, or coke… but if it harder drugs like meth or heroin it is in no way a choice. I mean, addiction is never a choice, but certain drugs are way worse, and you physically need them.
I’ve never been addicted to real drugs but spent over 20 years addicted to weed and when I didn’t have it I was a shit persona to be around but when I had it I felt normal and was a great person I feel, my question is, don’t the drugs make you want to calm down and chill out and feel good? Not want to become violent?
@@Pitbulllover77-y3lbrother coke psychosis is just as bad as amphetamines, the dose makes the poison. I’ve been under both and never killed anyone or even had a violent thought, just saw some shadow people and was hospitalized. Based on his reactions in court he liked doing it.
Is anyone tell me why it feels that Wade should not die
Not sure of what happened in this man’s past, but he’s a genuine good man today.
I heard he had a bad past but guess he somehow managed to turn it around. He looks exactly like his son

He has alot of love for his son despite his sons horrible actions, but his dad is doing an amazing job at balancing that love while also holding wade to his accountability for his actions. This dad seems like an amazingly strong and genuine human being. Im not sure many people could manage the position he is in now with as much love, hurt, truth and respect as he is doing. My hats off to this man. I admire how he is handling things. Also props to his wife because she must b incredibky supportive to her husband while balancing the the realization of the horrible crimes hia son committed. that could destroy a marriage easily.

Man, talk about a crushing feeling as a father. I cant even imagine having to turn my baby boy in, But like he said he's a man now. IMO he fulfilled his duty as a father just by doing the right thing.
And how he takes his calls from the jail. He loves his son
Agree.😭 Dang, I admire Dad's courage. 👍🤗✌️
Great interview, I've followed this story for awhile and everything his father said has been consistent
This man is so full of grace, so emotionally intelligent. I feel this.
Guffawing on a podcast about your murderous spawn . What a gem. You're all sick
Huge RESPECT to this father. You've saved lives, saved folks from more heartache. You deserve the
best life has to offer.
I am so glad he came forward to tell his story. He is so right, you cannot believe the mainstream media. He seems like a great man.
You can see the love and the pain for his son. He did absolutely the right thing. He did it with so much love for his son and the others that would have been in his path. Mental health is hard for the one with it but it’s just as hard for the ones that love them. God bless this Dad and Wade’s soul.
I came over from Jumpsuitpablo. New subscriber. Steve, you're a good man. You 100% did the right thing. You saved many woman's lives. Your a hero. Great interview.
Me too
me too. new sub, excellent interview.
@@susanbennett9062 he had sex with a minor 12 year old vulnerable girl. Way to go Steve
Love jumpsuit Pablo 😊
@@jessicajennifer9827 I love JSP too. he's the real deal and his channel is blowing up. He deserves all the success
I have so much respect for dad. I cannot imagine his position. He seems so level headed and only wanted the best for his boy. This is a really sad story. & dad 1000% did the right thing!!!!❤
Omg! This narrative is gripping and heartwrenching!! So much empathy and respect for him!!😢
Dude Wade's dad is a badass m-effer but he's still so lovable and has a comforting energy about him... He and Wade have the same eyes but his dad's eyes have a soul and they twinkle with kindness when he laughs. Unlike Wade's eyes which have a serial killer darkness to them... Those cold empty eyes haunt me in my dreams....
Yeah I believe that he’s actually matured and changed into a better man when a lot of the time I hear people give that spiel my bs meter goes off lol
Those tattoos are scary 😱 ....I'm frightened...
The way that he defends Wade's biological Mum is nothing short of beautiful. There's sonething incredibly honest and gentle about this man.. and I think he will be a pivotal part in Wade's journey inside.. he can do some awesome things inside.. we live in very misogynistic, violent and drug addled times.. and if Wade can do anything to help deter others from any part of those things.. then all is not lost.
Well so far he has been nothing but trouble in there!! He has an attempted murder for hire case and a drug case pending from being in jail. He will be there for a long time so hopefully he turns his life around!!
@@Tawana_Xwait what? He tried to kill someone inside?
We live in very misogynistic times? Yet it is women queuing up to support Wade, and you are hoping he can do awesome things in prison.
@@Tawana_XNot going to happen…the fact that he immediately proceeded to continue manipulating and verbally abusing multiple women (not that I feel sorry for any woman stupid enough to support a violent criminal!) and focusing only on ‘the kiosk’ - like everyone he meets’ only life purpose is to take care of him - shows that he is rotten at his core, has no remorse, and he’s learned nothing from his being convicted of such horrible crimes.
I really feel for this Dad. I gave up my baby when I was 17 years old and I can tell you that it is the hardest decision I’ve ever made and it still hurts me even though it has been 28 years and I know the person who adopted him and I still have updates.! I hope and pray that he will come to find me one day and I loved him so much and I wanted the best life possible and I wasn’t able to provide him what he deserved. I was absued by his father and I was afraid to bring him to the world of that. I got away from him but I know how that pain feels even if you know that you’re child is going to be in a wonderful family that pain especially for the mother is the most painful thing in the world. The fact is that they loved him so much that they did the best thing for him. I understand why the mom has issues with drugs because she is trying to make her pain go away even for a little while but unless you have been in the position of the biological parent’s you have no idea how much it hurts. And I agree with the dad and I would have turned him into the police to and you don’t know what would happen if he went on the run and still using the cops could have shot him or he could have killed somebody else.
Bless you. I have a very soft spot in my heart for mothers who give up their babies for adoption so that they can have a better life. I know that must have completely ripped your heart out. I'm so glad that you were able to keep in touch with your child... And I also understand why Wade's bio mom has had a rough go of it. She was just a child herself. For her to have to grow up and go through life with that hole in her heart, and then to see the monster he turned into, and then have to wrestle with all the "what ifs"...hell, I'd probably be on drugs too! I hope that poor lady doesn't blame herself anymore, and I hope she can heal one day.💜
Much love from Louisiana ♥️ He will come one day kids always want know mom
I cant even imagine ty for this 23and1 God Bless this father and the victims families ❤
I don't think the world needs anymore interviews after this.What an absolute wild ride the past few weeks have been. Thank you for clarifying so many questions. Its easy to see you have a lot of kindness, compassion and empathy in your heart, Steve.
I'm so sorry to all those hurt in this story. The victims, their families, all of the parents, siblings and children, the ex girlfriends and even Wade for throwing his whole damn life away in such a senseless manner.
How ironic that with all of the violence and hatred he has directed towards women, its now women who are trying to save him. I hope one day that realization hits him harder than anything hes ever experienced before.
May peace and healing find you all.
That last paragraph!! Some chics are beyond delusional and enabling the worst of the worst it’s sickening
To his father….
You absolutely did the right thing!
💯💯💯💯
He also left his son in foster care idiot you don't know
What an incredible interview. Thank you Jumpsuit Pablo for hooking me up.
Josh did a great job. My best wishes to the father.
Steve is such a kind hearted dude. He absolutely loved his son, while lovingly keeping discipline in the front.
If Wade is executed i know you will struggle with feelings. Thats natural. But as a single woman, i thank you for helping keep countless women safe. You heard the excitement in his voice and recognized the sound of the birth of a serial killer. You did what was hard, but right on so many levels.
You're welcome
thankyou
@@Steven-Testaseccayou are an Amazing human and I’m so sorry that you had to experience seeing your little boy grow into someone you didn’t know.
@@Steven-Testasecca i highly doubt you’re the man in this video…
@@Seeker0fTruthHe isn't. Dude's wife has already been on here.....unless she's lying, too😂
