The mom should have never bought this kid a car with all his issues. Selling drugs, skipping school, can't hold a job and she thought a car that he didn't have to work for would straighten him out and give him "responsibility".
That’s true because kids with autism doesn’t think straight and James mom was frustrated because she can’t just not realize her frustration what cost the problem because that not helpful in this cases like this because it happened in other cases as well. Bruce
That’s all things SHE said. He didn’t skip school, he graduated at 17. Can’t hold down a job? He’s worked since he graduated. She’s a drama queen that can’t let go.
@brackenrobertson799 agree with you 100% that mom is nuts and Judge Judy is looking at this the wrong way. Not every parent has their child's best interests in mind. Every time that kid brought up something good he did, his mom had to smack him down with some kind of ridiculous comment or rude claim. Heck she even said something nasty about his girlfriend 4th cousin, I don't think that even matters anymore, 1st or 2nd maybe, but I don't think they keep counting after that.
Speaking as the family scapegoat, a parent can treat their child badly for no reason except to be controlling, cruel and dramatic. Going "no contact" is sometimes the best solution.
Children should not be made to babysit their siblings extensively. They're not their kids. If a parent can't handle childcare, they need to stop having kids.
Especially since her eldest child is autistic and it sounds like she has her hands full with him. Yet she decided to have 3 more kids (or at least 2 since Jimmy is a twin) and not pay attention to them.
Most daycare close at a certain time and when you work and bills must be paid the siblings must help watch the other youngest siblings so mom and dad can provide for all.
If I heard it correctly James was still living at his Mom's house. Mom's House. Mom's Rules no matter how old James is. Otherwise leave Mom's house and get your own spot. Seems to me that babysitting my younger sibling is better than paying rent for an apartment.
She shouldn't have bought him a car because its her excuse for control. The way she's constantly interrupting tells me EVERYTHING. He's exhausted. Hell I'm exhausted now
When the mom shouted out that the girlfriend was his fourth cousin, I started questioning her more. In some states, first cousins can marry. In all states (I think), second cousins can marry. Fourth cousins share less than 1% of their DNA. If mom here thinks that is incesteous, she's got screws loose. Honestly, I think this case belongs on Dr. Phil. Or Jerry Springer.
@@lydiaedwards8100Yeah... it's different, but you think this guy has a first cousin and this girl is their great-great -great -grandchild? Or he's got a great-great-great-grandparent with a sibling and this girl is that sibling's child? Because those are the only two scenarios for first cousin four times removed. In case you can't understand, the ages are impossibly off for a timeline like that, and even if it were so, they would still be so distantly related as to be inconsequential.
Must be a cultural thing because I am well acquainted with lots of my 3rd and 4th cousins. I have known them all my life since we have the same 3x and 2x great grandparents. I also have cousins who are related to me through multiple branches of my family so that 1 percent calculation you made isn’t always true. My grandma has double first cousins and we have other situations in our tree of two siblings marrying two siblings. I would never entertain the idea of being romantically involved with any of my cousins and don’t give a damn if it’s legal. I know some people are into that whole Kissing Cousins but my family considers it embarrassing.
@@jeffreyclinard2002I know that’s why I brought it up. My great grandfather and one of his brothers married two sisters. Therefore some of my grandma’s first cousins have all the same four grandparents as she and her siblings do. So that gave her an uncle and aunt who are both by blood and marriage. So I am more closely related to their children and grandchildren than I am to my grandma’s cousins that only share two grandparents even with it being the same generation away. I also have some cousins related to both of my grandfather’s parents although my grandfather’s parents aren’t related. My great grandfather’s sister married his wife’s cousin. My first cousin on my mom’s side had a crush on my first cousin on my dad’s side. I intentionally discouraged it because I don’t want any more double cousins. I have enough.
James (Jimmy) Vensel is now 47 and has a son named James Jr. Sometimes kids end up later having children who act just like them. I wonder if his son gives him as much trouble as he gave his mom. In 2011, James Sr was arrested for DWI. (simple google search of his name has this info). It wouldn't surprise me that he did have an alcohol or substance abuse problem back then (during the time of the court case).
JJ throughout her career seems to forget that not all mothers are that great. And that sometimes it’s better to separate yourself from your family. She always seems to be under the mindset that family first no matter what. And the parents are always right. Which is kind of confusing, considering she came from the family court. And actually kind of scary now that I think about it.

@celestep4891 yes and that's the problem. Would you want your mom to go on TV and start airing out all your dirty laundry? Being able to see her do that proves my point. He's probably a problem child bc of her...
As a man who moved out at 18 and doesn't want anything to do with my mother because of the way she treated me growing up I feel his pain. When he moved out and was on his own she was still trying to control him and be hateful. She can't move on because he's happy and she's miserable because she has to take care of an autistic son. That's by definition a bad mother.
If this was me with how she has talked to him I would look at her and say just leave me the fuck alone and stay out of my life. I would apologize to the judge and walk out of the courtroom and not care what the outcome was. I have a mother that raised three kids by herself and she chose abusive boyfriends and husbands over her kids. She didn't protect us so I know what he's going through.
That mother is a complete drama queen and that "fourth cousin" comment shows just how antagonistic she really is. No wonder he was pissed off with her. It's a case of "you reap what you sow" and she's now seeing it.
I agree. The boy undoubtedly is an ass, but the mom seems like a shitty parent. Her other child moving out as well is very telling. I actually believe him when he said that the mother takes her frustration of caring for the autistic son out on all the kids.
Mom.needa to cut her losses and let the boy grow up. Hes 19. If he needs to learn tge hard way, then let him. Our son stopped rebelling when we let him go. At 19, he joined the military and became a man. He nade a lot if mistakes, but they were his mistakes. We reared him like the man he was. And he rose and fell on his own. As soon as he realizes nobody will bail him out, hell own his life.
Maybe it would help if they both got counseling together learning how to respect each other it’s hard Ive been down that road may God be upon all of them
I believe him. She won't let him finish a sentence without butting in with more outlandish claims. There's something wrong with the mother, she's odd. Why bring your child on tv and then just go on and on and on about all of the bad things that you think they've done? "She's also his 4th cousin your honour" just why?
Ohh gawd the horror. The nerve of that woman to be his glorified taxi driver and then expects him to babysit his own sibling. How dare she expect her adult son still living at home and not paying rent to do chores. As his super mature underaged girlfriend points out jamsey poo has a life. How's he going to drink to point of alcohol poisoning and sell drugs while having basic chores and responsibilities. Hes selfish immature incredibly stupid brat.

It is stressful having a special needs child but you have to get help so that, that stress isn't taken out on others. Its like James also might have something going on too
Surprised Judy is letting this Jerry Springer episode continue. I saw a documentary on Judy when she was still a family court judge, which is why I started watching these clips. She reamed out both sides in a case, and damn near made the prosecutor cry for not conducting themselves properly. 😂😂 4:46 I take it back, uncomfortable to say the least. Dude is a bit of a loser jackass, "no mom, I was not 17 I was 16 when I demised for a couple minutes from alcohol poisoning. WTF!!! Anyone saying she needs parenting classes give your head a shake. when you have a kid like this who thinks he knows everything, and the world owes him a living a mothers whole existence is a nightmare.
Sooo, the Mom is blameless in this situation? Seems like she already couldn't handle the number of children she had living at home, especially w/ the oldest being autistic. Then had a much younger child that she's upset James & his sister aren't doing enough to help raise. And thinks taking her son to court to air all this dirty laundry is going to help?
@@mirandafaire4275 No one least of all YT commenters can know what went on in that home. And probably yes she is blameless. She loaned him money for a car, my dad wouldn't even let me drive his car, or teach me to drive, let alone lone me money for a car. There is nothing wrong with being a strict parent who sets boundaries. 90% of teenagers will have a long list of BS reasons to despise a parent. From having a curfew to be in the house, to limiting how many hours they can watch TV, play videos games, surf the internet, limit cell phone use, what time they have to go to bed, eat your vegies, no drinking until you turn 21, no smoking pot in their house, don't smoke cigarettes, don't hang with a teenager with a criminal record. You name it, this kid who literally demised from alcohol poisoning at 16, and had to be revived is 100% to blame for all his decisions. Or did she pour that stuff down his throat. Or do you think she was standing beside him yelling chug chug?
@@DIDYOUSEETHAT172 Like it or not: at age 16 or 17 the Mother, as his parent & legal guardian, IS responsible for her minor child's behavior. So no, she is not "blameless". He had some responsibility for this situation as well, but no where near what hers was because she is the adult who has all the power & control over her child's life. And yes, that includes being 100% responsible for his medical care if he overdosed on drugs or alcohol. Plus: what's making a teenager want to engage in this behavior? Usually something is missing from their life or is extremely wrong with their home environment It seems she was far too busy making new kids that she wasn't prepared to care for instead of tending to the family she already had. And I don't get any kind of "strict parent" or tough love vibes from her towards her son. Just toxic, angry, dysfunctional behavior.
I wonder why the kid is having issues, couldn't be that his mother is a flipping psycho that treats him like shit and airs his dirty laundry on national television...
She would probably more easily accept him being grown if he behaved like one. An actual full fledged adult wouldn’t beg his mommy to buy him a car. If mom offered to buy it fine but that’s not what happened.
"She's also his 4th cousin your honor" ..... what? ... 😂
And? What does that matter
So, they're so distantly related that they're almost not related.

Absolutely! The other children don't have enough maturity to handle their young siblings regularly.

Surprised Judy is letting this Jerry Springer episode continue. I saw a documentary on Judy when she was still a family court judge, which is why I started watching these clips. She reamed out both sides in a case, and damn near made the prosecutor cry for not conducting themselves properly. 😂😂 4:46 I take it back, uncomfortable to say the least. Dude is a bit of a loser jackass, "no mom, I was not 17 I was 16 when I demised for a couple minutes from alcohol poisoning. WTF!!! Anyone saying she needs parenting classes give your head a shake. when you have a kid like this who thinks he knows everything, and the world owes him a living a mothers whole existence is a nightmare.
Sooo, the Mom is blameless in this situation? Seems like she already couldn't handle the number of children she had living at home, especially w/ the oldest being autistic. Then had a much younger child that she's upset James & his sister aren't doing enough to help raise. And thinks taking her son to court to air all this dirty laundry is going to help?
@@mirandafaire4275 No one least of all YT commenters can know what went on in that home. And probably yes she is blameless. She loaned him money for a car, my dad wouldn't even let me drive his car, or teach me to drive, let alone lone me money for a car. There is nothing wrong with being a strict parent who sets boundaries. 90% of teenagers will have a long list of BS reasons to despise a parent. From having a curfew to be in the house, to limiting how many hours they can watch TV, play videos games, surf the internet, limit cell phone use, what time they have to go to bed, eat your vegies, no drinking until you turn 21, no smoking pot in their house, don't smoke cigarettes, don't hang with a teenager with a criminal record. You name it, this kid who literally demised from alcohol poisoning at 16, and had to be revived is 100% to blame for all his decisions. Or did she pour that stuff down his throat. Or do you think she was standing beside him yelling chug chug?
@@DIDYOUSEETHAT172 Like it or not: at age 16 or 17 the Mother, as his parent & legal guardian, IS responsible for her minor child's behavior. So no, she is not "blameless". He had some responsibility for this situation as well, but no where near what hers was because she is the adult who has all the power & control over her child's life. And yes, that includes being 100% responsible for his medical care if he overdosed on drugs or alcohol. Plus: what's making a teenager want to engage in this behavior? Usually something is missing from their life or is extremely wrong with their home environment
It seems she was far too busy making new kids that she wasn't prepared to care for instead of tending to the family she already had.
And I don't get any kind of "strict parent" or tough love vibes from her towards her son. Just toxic, angry, dysfunctional behavior.
@@mirandafaire4275 You have the intellect of a braying jack@$$ 😂😂
I wonder why the kid is having issues, couldn't be that his mother is a flipping psycho that treats him like shit and airs his dirty laundry on national television...
All I can find on the family is that James brother passed away 5 years ago
Seems to me that James keeps pretty off grid
GF will find out just how controlling he is...
Fourth cousin…?
Idk who my fourth cousins even are lol
We're commenting as if it didn't happen 30 years ago 😂
Uggg that lisp makes me so irritated! 😆 I'd be in trouble too if I had to listen to that all day!
mom said he doesnt take resposibilty then got aloan silly
She’s also his 4th cousin
Whet
Hollerd
Ok. There is something wrong. James is going through some trauma
I was the babysitter for my siblings. It’s why I only had two kids!
So nice to not hear 'like' every other word! Sign of the times.
What kind of mother sues her kid? That mother is a toxic drama queen!
One who is sick of his $hit and wants him to honor his word like a man should
@fixitchic he is the way he is because of her!
The son might have problems but the mom is exhausting.
this mother is psycho and controlling his life and cannot accept a grown teenager
She would probably more easily accept him being grown if he behaved like one. An actual full fledged adult wouldn’t beg his mommy to buy him a car. If mom offered to buy it fine but that’s not what happened.
@ an 19 ur is grown physically. Problem is, many mothers like this one still treat them as toddlers.
10$ he's already dressed in a orange jumpsuit today....
He's 46, and he's doing well. The mom is still trash though.
You almost drank yourself to death when you were 18!
No mom I was 16!
Really got her there rofl
Wrong, dude. Boy needs help his mother cannot give him.
Why did he drink all that jack daniels?
Probably because of his mother!
@@marieskee22, my thought exactly.
this kid is out of control
Most interesting episode of the Simpsons yet.
Everything is falling on mom but wtf is the dad doing!? Why is she left to parent him alone when he has 2 parents?
Maybe cause he's working?
@ I’m sorry when did that become an excuse to not parent your child?
even his gf is trying to explain her dumb logic
Mom's a narcissist. She caused his issues and is now ruining his reputation out of resentment. She's so fake.
19 shots of JD 😅
wow, Dr Phil must not have made it big yet because JJ hasnt said you are on the wrong show.
He's 47 now, so this was 28 years ago! So in 96 and Google says Dr Phil got his own show in 02. JJ has been at this a long long time.
