🚩1 - It is highly unethical for a psychiatrist to therapize a family member 🚩2 - It is even more unethical to let the patient move in and engage with them on such a personal level
@@rameshrolla1574 as much as I can see the pain in their faces and I believe they understand they failed their son, I do think they have part of the responsibility. For me she is the person with more responsibility in this, she was the professional with a license and a code of conduct, she was the adult grooming and manipulating a young person, she was the one that saw him in jail for years and abandoned him instead of taking responsibility for what he did, she is a horrible person, but what parents send their teen, even if is an older teen, but he is still unstable to live with this older woman that is already violating all rules of therapy and think it will be ok? I think they were naive or trusted her blindly. I do feel they truly regret it and are in much pain.
Well, it’s certainly not the clearest case of grooming or exploitation we’ve seen recently, given the fact that this sort of thing happened all the time… the only difference is the sicko’s are normally male and the victim’s are usually female (though men do victimize younger men as well as women).
@monicadonnelly4991 And she didn't? She took advantage of her position and had an unethical relationship with him. I'm in no way saying that somehow excuses his actions, but you also have to take into account the role her own actions and boundary-crossing played in it as well. She did purchase the sledge hammer, they have her on tape.
That’s not true at all. It may be in this case but that doesn’t make it true across the board. There’s a multitude of reasons a parent will give including saving their child from violent domestic violence. This case seems to be more about selfishness by the mother, that I can agree agree with.
@@KCsFunHouse - Or worse -> Being SAed by a father or Mother who protects a predator. In either case I can see why you would want a mother/father killed to keep their child safe.
This woman got off too easily. She ruined this young man's life and as a psychiatrist no less. She traumatized her ex boyfriend and probably her son too. No scruples at all. She's the one who needs a psychiatrist. What a horrible shame
I've been binge watching 48 Hours on TH-cam for the past couple days, and it's gratifying to see an intended victim survive for once. I'm so glad Dr. Weiss survived this attack. I'm so so sorry this happened to him.
Honestly I felt the same way! Listen to me when i tell you! I was an ID channel obsessed years ago. And I honestly stop watching. But for some reason 48h showed up on my “suggestions” and its been 1 week now, nonstop😅 !
@@ImSharmelis Same here. It just showed up in my suggestions a few days ago. Now I'm convinced - I'm never getting married or into any other relationship. 😂
Dr. Weiss "the victim" is possibly the one gaslighting everybody, making his ex-wife act insane and others too, all while acting calm and innocent. It is a classic pattern and anytime you see stories like this that doesn't make sense it is often because you're missing the real problem provoker.
@@Adelicows she still got processed years after him, when was obvious that she manipulated him to the extreme. She even made a map and the plan, how did it took so long to see her as responsible?
@@tim6385 😂 but is a good spoiler! Sad what happened, sad it took so long for the mastermind to be charged, but at the end it happened. How many cases we see that the person should have been in prison and still end up trying again and successfully gets what they want? Is refreshing to know had a good ending.
Looks aren't always the best indicator (Ted Bundy was able to lure women into a false sense of security because he 'looked normal') but she has crazy eyes (the sad, tired kind). Shayna Hubers (famous Jodi Arias-esque case) had crazy eyes too, but the wild over-energized kind.
If she had nothing to do with it, why didn’t she flip out through text messages once he text her with a bloody selfie asking what he should do?! Anyone else would be like wtf 😳
Yeah, true! She seems so cold-blooded. I feel sorry for all her patients who were manipulated by her. Patients usually trust their psychiatrists more than themselves. Really horrific. And I also feel sorry for the child. I hope he hasn't been traumatized by her.

When they revealed the $1.5 million life insurance policy that Pam convinced Michael to make her in charge of, it was beyond obvious that she was brainwashing Jake and thought she would get the money. Sickening.
And then when she was arrested, she just happened to have her passport and birth certificate, and Cauldrons passport. Who casually carries those things around for no reason??
@@Adelicows I do But my mother tries to steal that stuff. And I can't get it back easily. .... I actually taken to carrying a lot of important stuff. Need a bank box.
I love how her attorney states that "There's no question about her love for her son". Lie. She loves her son so much that she wanted to take his father from him. She doesn't love her son. She loves herself.
She had an incestuous relationship with her cousin. She was too close to him and had power over him. Telling him the father of her child was assaulting the kid said more about her than about her ex-partner. It was *her* sick fantasy. I'm glad the child is now with his other parent.
@@carriehazel77 It's not professionally allowable. It would be considered a dual relationship and a conflict of interest, both of which go against professional ethics and would generally result in someone's license being taken away.
Well, Jake is now out of prison. She has 3 years to go and the son is now 16. Hopefully the dad has done a good job with him and he has a bright future.
She absolutely had him do this. There was no reason for her to discuss her life with him. She had all the tools to get him to do this. My nephew off his meds will do anything for anyone and not even think about it. Only on his meds does he have the clarity of his own mind. I feel so bad for him and his parents.
So true, I work with clients like that. And stuff they no I like for example small things like, Dr. Pepper and so on their always trying to buy or give me. Anybody I don't like and fuss about, they don't like. They listen intensely. I have to watch what I say and do around them. They want to please and we as professionals have to learn how to handle them without hurting them. Key for me is SEPARATE WITH CARE & EMPATHY. Because things as small as a Drink can turn into a diamond necklace. From not liking them because you don't to hurting them!!
So do I and breaks my heart it's so unfair that she prayed on this guy and he was sick she should be in prison just along beside him shame on her but she'll have her day when she has to face our heavenly Father and Jesus Christ
So true. My son has severe mental Illness. Yes he sometimes knows the difference between right and wrong but if you tell him something happened he believes it. If you put something in his head it would be almost impossible to make him forget or to let it go. She manipulated him and used him. I’m shocked they didn’t sent him to a mental hospital
@@nataliebondurant1640 Yes exactly. I work with them and I have 12 to 15 adults I'm over daily that is developmentally delayed. They are like sponges so I have to watch what I say to and do around them. If you are nice and good to them the more they want to please and get praises from you. They are natural protectors and this lady used this man who was vulnerable and liked her along with her profession to her advantage.
I work for a medical research institution. No one wants to work with the department of psychiatry because they are almost all narcissists that make life miserable for staff. I can’t imagine what they do to their vulnerable patients. The field attracts evil. It gives you ultimate control over vulnerable people.
Treating a relative is inappropriate. Having that relative move in with you is inappropriate. Inviting him into bed with you and your minor child, clad only in his underwear, is inappropriate
Many young psychotic girls who are damaged good themselves take up psychology in college because they think they can be a good judge to evaluate others. And they think it's fascinating to be a psychiatrist student. But they have little empathy for others as a doctor. You will see many of these female psychologists are often cold and will show no emotion on their face when they listen to your troubles.
12 years ago, my cousin was in highschool, 17 years old. We live in a country where talk about mental health was taboo at the time. The school had a psychologist that was in her mid thirties. My cousin went to see her as she was struggling at the time, but didn't tell her parents because they didn't believe in psychologists. Time after time, the psychologist got closer and closer to her, it got to the point where she would bring my cousin after school to her house when her husband wasn't at home, and without my cousins parents knowing. The psychologist sexually assaulted her. My cousin never spoke up to her, never spoke about it to the school, or her parents. It was 3 years ago that she had the courage to tell me and my sister. She got traumatized to the point where she didn't get help because she thought that if she did, the other psychologists would do the same thing to her. Moral of the story, we need to educate our children about everything, even when the subject is maybe delicate or ' taboo '.
In my 20s, I had an 70 year old female psychiatrist that I was seeing for adhd. Immediately trusting her + confusing her ill intent for "kindness", it took me awhile to realize she was a predator. It started as compliments each visit about myself, looks and body that orig. lifted my self esteem, but got weirder later as she started making comments about my husband not deserving me (I never once said a thing to make her think this), compliments becoming more sexual + she began making multiple appointments weekly for no reason that my insurance refused to cover so she started paying for these extra appointments for me. The last time I saw her, she began touching my leg and put her hand up my skirt, touching my privates. Our time was almost up + I Immediately said I had to go and rushed to door. She blocked the door and started confessing her love for me. Luckily even in fear/shock, I had the smarts to tell her if she didn't move, I'd scream and let the whole office hear me. She had no choice, but to let me go, but then obsessively began calling me 100s of times each day to apologize/lure me back to her office. I saved and reported her crazy voice-mails and was able to get her shut down permanently + license revoked....but the saddest thing to me was that this woman practiced for 50 years + prior to opening her own practice worked in teen girl detention centers and orphanages. The number of young girls she likely abused is so incredibly sad. Had I not been an adult woman, I could've easily been another victim. Even in a country like mine where mental health isn't taboo, the majority of people automatically trust these people to have their best interest. On top of it, nobody expects women to abuse other women/girls. Unfortunately bias cloaks these predators + they use it to their advantage. You really have to live life trusting no one until proven otherwise and that's sad. I'm so sorry to hear the horrific abuse your cousin endured and truly hope she has found some healing since ❤
@@alyssapage1585 thank God you got her shut down! You could consider contacting a local investigative journalist to report on her and maybe resolve some issues for kids from years ago. Heck, when children go to camp, I bet they couldn't remember everyone's names, let alone know where they lived, etc. In order to report a crime like this. Maybe many victims would appreciate your testimony and the fact you fought back!! Maybe more would come forward. God bless ❤😊❤
She was definitely the mastermind behind this crime. She manipulated him, supplied the weapons and drew a map. The fact that she thought she would get off Scott free after he was sentenced is what’s mind boggling to me.
This case reminds me of what one of my teachers told us in college: care professions, like doctors, psychiatrists, psychotherapists, priests, attract a lot of sadistic and controlling personality types. This woman shouldn't have been consulting people for mental illnesses, she should have been seen by a psychiatrist because she was nuts herself!
Your teacher from college should go teach in elementary school - thats very crucial kwnoledge and college its too late to get it... Damn wish any of mine teachers got wits and guts to say that...
That could be said of a whole lot of professions like law enforcement, military people and detention center guards, so stop picking on mental health providers.
@@WindDancer435 of course there's not rule that if you have a certain profession you must be a certain way. Professions that are highly respected for the role they play in the community, like law enforcement, judge, doctor, military attract narcisists who like the status that profession comes from it, which is not exactly the same thing. Going into care professions offers sadistical personalities the chance to be sadistical without really standing out. Just like a pedophile would want to work around kids. I am not picking on psychologist, psychiatrists, etc. I was just trying to make a point: someone's profession isn't an indicator of their character and good intentions. Don't take it so personally. Just because you are a good person, it doesn't mean everyone working in this area is the same.
@Frithia5281 I don’t think it would be ethical for them to treat a family member (not counting something small like their child getting a scrape and needing to be cleaned up and bandaged). In an emergency, it might be different. I don’t actually know though.
The severity of injury/condition being treated usually determines whether it’s ok to medically treat a family member. It’s common place for a doctor to write blood pressure medicine for family member - but you typically wouldn’t have a family member do high risk treatment or procedures on seriously I’ll people. A bipolar drug addict that seems autistic is definitely more similar to a high risk treatment that a family member shouldn’t do. If it was simple seasonal affective disorder that’s probably fine to have your cousin treat. So yes psychiatrists are similar to every other practitioner
not the first woman to manipulte a man to killing her ex and claiming they abused and potrayed them as a monster, she is guilty imo . that buying hammer seals it,
SOOO many boundaries were crossed here, where do I even begin?!? The fact she was actively treating him while he was living under her roof, watching her son, all the while she had control of just about everything in his life....is mind blowing! It's totally and completely unethical, and down right grooming if I ever saw it. I honestly feel bad for Jake, he's ruined his life, and without Pamela, I believe he wouldn't have hurt anyone.
That woman should never be allowed near her son. She's manipulative and frightening. Hopefully by the time she's out he'll be grown and won't want anything to do with her.
I believe him. Especially after hearing her excuse for the map. Why tf would he need to know the ins and outs of the apartment building to get to the daycare?! She wrote the daycare down because she knows he’s familiar with that location. Add that to the footage of her buying a sledgehammer. How did she get away with that?!
@@drdrew3 still she got processed years after him, they didn’t believe him at the beginning. If I remember well, not even her medical license was suspended and ethically she shouldn’t have been treating a family member. She ended in jail, good, but still was able to manipulate more people and almost escaped the country.
@@lhr8833 She committed the crime and went to jail for it. Sorry it didn’t happen quick enough for your liking. It was a very complicated and somewhat unique case. If laws enforcement and prosecutors had rushed out she may very well have gone free. You can’t have your Legal cake and eat it too. Sometimes justice is worth the wait
My brother is a clinical psychologist; I ended up in 2 abusive situations and with severe PTSD. It broke my brother's heart because it is unethical for family to treat family. As much as he wanted to help, all he could do was be supportive while I continue therapy. Why were there no alarms sounded in him being treated by a cousin? This is infuriating.
They clearly aren’t experts and wanted their son to get help. Who would think that family would do something crazy like this? Situations like this are rare. That’s why it’s being sensationalized on tv for us
However….. In the olden days, before the therapists, people did rely on the family, friends, good neighbors, community for the feedback, to look out for each other: the bad apples were known. Life experience and wisdom were respected . There were no psychotropics. And a good brother would look out for his sister in very direct ways, including , preventively, to divert the bad suitor, or help to get out of gone-bad relationship/marriage. This therapy business has skewed our perception of normalcy and obscured the plain view. These days it’s upside down, inside out: it’s nobody’s business, unless it’s the paid therapist’s business. Not good.
@@mielissa100ify “Parents aren’t experts”? - they are experts at loving their son. If the cousin was NOT HIS OFFICIAL THERAPIST, but only as a helpful experienced cousin, a relative, being generous with access to a little boy - that is simply familial generosity. Parents are not expected to be experts in “fields”. Parents often have to follow their gut and not see “therapy” as a panacea. As a society , we would be better off if the term “therapy” was replaced only with psychological or psychiatric TREATMENT. Because not all treatments are therapeutic, even if it is only talk. In fact, they could be the most insidiously poisonous.
I’m telling you… I went to psychiatrists and psychologists when I was a young adult, to resolve trauma from childhood. Out of 6 professionals I saw, 4 of them were crazier than I ever could have been on my WORST day. Thankfully, I ended up with two I could trust, and I’m fine today, 25 years later. But I recommend you do a background check on any mental health professional before you hand over your children. Honestly, there was plenty in the public record about that toxic relationship with the father (who she chose) of her child. That would be enough right there to send me headed for the hills. Thank goodness, I’ve never needed to do it. Also, let’s call Pamela what she is, among many other terrible things - a GROOMER.
Absolutely. If you have ANY problem skills or are intelligent, you need them for medication..that's IT. Most are horrible people with horrible motives. Most ppl have similar stories.
I’ve dated a psychiatrist before.. when we started dating, my dad has said “he’s probably crazier than all of em”.. he in fact.. was.. crazier than all of them. He used his knowledge for evil. I’m starting to see a pattern here 😂 EDIT: Some of y’all took this comment way too serious 🤣
Well yeah, many psychiatrists get into the profession to try and figure out what’s wrong with themselves etc. It starts as self study of their own traumas for many of them
Yeah the only person I ever fired on the spot (totally illegal) for gross disobedience was a Psych Major. She tried to psychoanalyze everything I asked her to do! And the company a household name multinational company stood right behind me after the event. Most doctors will tell you that it's not the inmates in the psych wards with the problems. They are very often FITH themselves!!
Just adding- if you have mental health problems and need help, don’t let videos like this prevent you from seeking help. There are bad people in every profession and every setting but most doctors are not like this. If you need help, don’t let negative stereotypes and assumptions prevent you from seeking help. Don’t put your life on the line because someone in the comments said all doctors are evil or crazy. It’s not true. Seek help. And if you don’t find it in the first or second or third professional, keep looking. It took me more than 20 years to really find someone who helped me and he saved my life. I’m sure he doesn’t know it, but if it wasn’t for my psychiatrist, I wouldn’t be here raising my kids today. So don’t let all these negative comments and negative people get in the way of you getting help if you need it. There is a better future out there.
As someone with autism who has been manipulated by practically every friend in my life I suspect Jake may be on the spectrum. We have a hard time reading people who have really bad intentions and we often use alcohol and drugs to cope with burnout and to numb emotions we cannot process
Wanted to add that I was diagnosed with anxiety/depression and adhd as well for 20 years until I connected the dots and realized I have autism. I have been an addict all my life- cigarettes, caffeine, xanex, pain medication and harder drugs, all stims to help me cope with my brain. Taking medication for depression when I had autism just messed me up even more 🙃
@@elisabethhallstein8644 hope you find a healthy way to deal and cope with. What you are dealing with, God bless may you get healing in the name of Jesus Christ, my best wishes you are brave for sharing
I felt that while watching as well. I have a 17 year old son on the spectrum and I can see that being a possibility in Jake's case. I feel like it would be easier for someone like her to manipulate someone like him into something of this magnitude. He didn't see that he was being manipulated. I am glad she is bei g held accountable. I pray Jake gets out and is able to live a normal life and toove past this situation.
His text to her, when he got to the hospital told it all. He texted her, as if she already knew details, because had she not, she would have call his phone, in a panic of confusion on what was the reason behind the attack, not text, "Where?" Like, where, what?
The psychiatrist seems like a wicked narcissist to me. Potentially a psychopath or sociopath? Evil. Yes Jake has his struggles, but Pam / the psychiatrist took advantage of him, manipulated him, and made things so much worse for him 😢
I object to the insinuation that a person with all these diagnoses can’t take care of children. I have all of these. I have 2 children that I love very much and they are happy and healthy.
@@hopeful8975 - I think he was happy when his son was born. But he should have made it revocable insurance now he stuck with her waiting for him to die first. Obviously he was smart enough not to merry her but than made her irrevocable beneficiary, this is crazy. Go and understand psychiatrists.
I was listening to this as I was driving, finally a question got asked "why did you buy the sledgehammer?" I don't think a sledgehammer is a very regular purchase for a psychiatrist living in downtown Manhattan.
Loving the prosectution at Pamela's sentencing. Just because she accepted a plea deal doesn't mean she should somehow be praised an amazing human being. I love that they stated for the record all the terrible things she did - plea deal or no plea deal.
Dr. Weiss "the victim" is possibly the one gaslighting everybody, making his ex-wife act insane and others too, all while acting calm and innocent. It is a classic pattern and anytime you see stories like this that doesn't make sense it is often because you're missing the real problem provoker.
@@DJJahT I'm not under the delusion any of them are squeaky clean, tbh. But I still liked the prosecution making the point that just because someone takes a plea deal doesn't mean it shouldn't be said for the record what they did. I wish more would do that.
@@SummerBayJournal really? throughout the whole vid,the only suuspicious thing is that she bought the sledgehammer. thats it.... i dont think that alone is enough to brand someone as the mastermind.
@@cookie_dough_hangoveryet people force themselves to trust people and are forced and forcing others to live a life that's so cookie cutter like as if the bs idea of having drama in our lives is sooo important and having sex and money is the meaning of life but there isn't abd we call realistic people 'psychopaths' and people cry about mental illness and how awful it is when we ourselves suffer with it but when others break mentally unwillingly we attack them as if they have to be perfect 😂😂😂
I believe him. I also believe he's remorseful. This is absolutely sad. He says there's not a day that goes by that he doesn't think of commiting suicide. I hope he fights his demons and chooses life. This woman destroyed lives.
Nah this man decided to do what he did, no one made him. Why doesn’t anyone think men are adult enough to take responsibility for their own actions? He could have said “no”.

What's with these replies? Smfh.. A family member, a mental health professional, a psychiatrist manipulated a deeply mentally ill family member.. "adult consequences" don't apply here, not fully..
I can immediately tell Jake is 100% sincere, he's like my brother who has high functioning autism and is incapable of lying...there was absolutely no motive and like he said he had nothing to hide as he would have died for her. He viewed her so highly, trusted her, was particularly vulnerable and she full on groomed him. She is a complete psychopath who ruined this poor kid's life. My heart goes out to everyone who was affected by these unfortunate circumstances. Had she not manipulated him, I'm sure he would not have harmed anyone. She was telling him every day that the little boy he so grew to love was being SA'd by her ex, he didn't question it because he trusted her. Very sad all around but she should be in prison for life.
My son has high functioning autism too and cannot tell a lie... My ex of 24 years a narcissist alcoholic has abused booth our children verbally and physically. It was sickening. It has taken me 17 years to heal from the marriage.
If Jake had been “Jackie,” and if Pamela had been “Paul,” this would have been a totally different story. We need to take care of and protect our sons as much as our daughters.
So true. I have a son and always find myself reminding people young men and boys are victims too. But also, I don’t believe for a second the parents would’ve let their young daughter move in with their uncle.
Good point. The amount of men who are abused is staggering and won't do anything about it. Have you seen the documentary about Alex from the UK and how he was abused by his partner. She got 7 years. God his poor body. He was a few days away from death. If you search it it's on here.
Huh?! I suprised no one has mentioned it! Its very noticeable I wonder if she has any sleeping problems, mental or health problems, or just abusing drugs? Cause she looks like a drug addict!!! I had a cousin who looked like this and was a drug addict.
@@TarlynePeople who do hard drugs often don’t sleep for days cause amphetamines make you stop craving food/sleep. Either a drug addict or a severely eating disordered person. Or both.
I think he was infatuated with her and she was catching feeling. It's not fair to say he doesn't have a bad bone in him. He committed a horrific act. Yes she manipulated him into the attack but he was also a willing participant.
He did have psychological issues to begin with. She knew she could easily manipulate him cause he was damaged. He never hurts anyone if he doesn’t meet her.
I don't believe this one bit. She primed and groomed him using her techniques but I don't believe there was anything more to it than a dysfunctional relationship.
We would like to think with power also comes good values. Thinking positive & that w more responsibilities also good ethics that are good and pure!,,,,
It's renowned that sick people are drawn to the psche field. One of most dangerous group of people who sadly like medical doctors are trusted without question
The first red flag I noticed is that the psychiatrist should have never taken Jake as a client because she's a family member. That represents a conflict of interest right there. People who are not well versed into mental health do not usually know that information. Therefore, it was up to the psychiatrist alone to have put this safeguarding in place.
I don’t believe Jake would have harmed anyone if it weren’t for Buchbinder. She manipulated a troubled person. I feel so sorry for Jake’s parents. They seem like good people.
This is a great example of the power of stochastic terrorism, and a huge reason why right-wing media tries so hard to push this groomer thing on the left. They're weaponizing their gullible base.
The psychiatrist crossed the line when she accepted a family member to be a patient and invite him to live with her!! A big no no!! Her intentions seems suspish from the beginning!! The parents also have to be accountable as well, allowing their son to live with a single mom!! Geezus!! All this is creepy from all angles! 🤕😱😱
It’s totally inappropriate when laying around like that together . I think she had covert molestation tendencies too. Just creepy . And it’s really unbelievable that these people can do this and expect nothing to happen to them !!!
This is literally a dual relationship situation which is a no no for a therapist… i can’t believe she even offered this set up as it’s considered unethical and you can lose your license very quickly..
@@rooroo1704 it’s when you take on someone as a client or offer mental health services to someone who is in some way related - ex partner, friend, cousin etc etc. It’s not allowed by the ethical standards of most practitioners (psychologists etc). The reasons behind it is that the lines can quickly get blurred and patients can get harmed (psychologically speaking). This is exactly what happened here.
Seems like 48 Hours didn’t want to fully address the incestuous relationship that was obviously going on here. They made a half hearted attempt to suggest it then walked away from the topic entirely. Those texts are clearly indicative of an inappropriate bond. Manipulating a family member’s behavior with sexual favors is about as twisted as it gets
I message my husband "I miss you terribly" when I wish he was home in bed with me in an intimate way. That woman was grooming her cousin for a sexual relationship if they weren't already in a sexual relationship.
@@herelieskittythomas3726 I feel you on that. Both of my best friends live in different states. I'll say "I miss you so much, bestie." But "I miss you terribly", definitely has romantic vibes. If they did not have sex! she was definitely leading him on with a sexual seductive tone.
I think there are grounds for a civil suit, the parents however misguided intrusted their son to a registered professional psychiatrist for help and she acted totally unprofessionally to have him come live with her and her son, let alone become his svengali. I would think these would be very strong grounds for a civil suite. Manson was the mastermind of multiple murders and he manipulated those women, no difference here except he wasn't their professional board approved psychiatrist.
@@arhagamer2510 The lady was a psychiatrist and said she could help their son. She prescribed his medicine and gave therapy. His other Doctors weren't able to help too much. Plus this Doctor was the boys cousin so they trusted her expertise. But the Doctor took advantage of the boy's weak mental health. I know this Doctor probably broke some kind of laws for treating this boys mental condition and then having him live with her. She knew better. His family maybe not. 🤔
@@valariehunter5389 ridiculous …they spoiled “their baby” as so many do and when he was a teen, when it wasn’t so cute and the spoiling couldn’t be undone, no matter how many doctors and meds were tried- they handed him off.
As the parent of a barely adult son recently diagnosed with bipolar, this story hits home. You can't understand what it's like unless you have lived it. Pamela absolutely took advantage of a very vulnerable and unwell young man.
I believe him actually. I think he could've chosen not to maybe, but there's no way he would've done something like that without his mind being bent by someone else.
She definitely lost her license right? I watch a lot of true crime stuff and this is one of - if not the most - evil, disgusting, heartless, cruelest stories I’ve ever heard. 11 years isn’t enough but I’m grateful she is at least facing some consequences and didn’t get away with such a horrible abuse of power & manipulation & destruction of another human being - her own family at that. Evil woman
She manipulated her own cousin that’s just sad , I believe him she was definitely telling him to do this, she prayed on his weakness and talked him into doing this … I’m glad the father survived
My best friend's mom is a narcissist psychopath, and a psychiatrist. The things I've seen that woman do. Bookbinder here reminds me an awful lot of her
Her first response after getting texts from Jake where he mentions Michael and him were bleeding a lot was not to frantically call or ask for details. It was just "Where?" From that response, it kinda seems like she already knew about what happened and most likely DID manipulate a mentally ill person into doing it.
“There’s no question about her love for her son”….. which is why she made a conscious and detailed decision to leave him motherless for the remainder of his childhood.
@ aprilstone exactly. She had this plan in her mind the day she "offered" to help him. Those pics of all of them in bed together are creepy too. Bookbinder is the real psycho in this story.
Imagine telling the judge with a straight face you want to take back the deal you made a month ago because someone was hotboxing the jail bus on the way to court this morning
Jacob will be eligible for conditional release in April 2024. The 52-year-old doctor was sentenced to serve 11 years behind bars. Prison records indicate that Pamela remains incarcerated at Bedford Hills Correctional Facility for Women in Westchester County, New York. She will be eligible for conditional release in March 2027.
I once had a psychologist who was just … BLANK. She would just say, “Uh huh, uh huh”, but little else. Just “We need to stop now”. Near worthless, even though I had serious problems at that time.
As someone who has been a victim of severe abuse and manipulation by a psychopath, I really feel for this man. How awful for him. And for his truth to be questioned because he had mental health issues like bipolar... is just so sad. That's exactly what she planned for.
Nah, bipolar and adhd is not excuse. He knew what he was doing, he remembered everything well, each detail, etc. He is guilty, he wasn't brainwashed. He should have life in prison. Both guilty.
I had a nervous breakdown in grad school while I was "under the care of" a Christian counselor who was also a professor at one of the Boston area seminaries. After my breakdown, I went to a psychiatrist and burst into tears. I cannot express the relief I experienced after I told her my troubles and then was told I was having a major depressive episode. I thought I was losing my mind up to that point. It was horrible until I was properly diagnosed. Take nothing for granted when seeking out mental health practitioners, particularly if they also have an academic appointment. Academics seem to have the most depraved moral standards that I've encountered among human beings. Their loyalties are often divided and they seem more concerned with attaining/keeping their tenure than actually helping/teaching their students or clients (if they are mental health practitioners).
What a shame, Jake’s Mom and Dad seem like really nice people. Pamela was a woman scorned, she would do ANYTHING to hurt Michael. I pray 🙏🏽 for all of those involved in this overwhelming tragedy 😔
I love that she got more time then him and wasn’t allowed bail. I’m surely not saying he doesn’t deserve his punishment but there’s no doubt she brainwashed him and took advantage of him. Sad situation.
They both deserved their time. Even with his extenuating circumstances, he knew right from wrong and continued. So yes absolutely she deserved all the time but he needed it too. Even accidents can get you time.
Yes, they both deserved their sentencing. Equally. Crazy people do not deserve to get off. He lived with two nice normal parents. Killing people is wrong, duhhhh.
9:50-10:08 what a WEIRD PLAN!! This man was unstable for the longest, even going so far as to threaten suicide and people thought it wise to let him be a part time caretaker for a 4 year old??? That makes absolutely no sense! What if he had harmed that defenseless child?
When I was a child, my first therapist once told me the craziest thing that, even at a young age, I knew was not right and I never forgot. Anyway, she asked me if I even thought about killing my perpetrator.. to which I said, no? She then proceeded to tell me that she thought it might be healthy if I pretended that I wanted to and planned out different scenarios of how I would do it.. as an exercise of some sort?? Like wtf? I thought she was crazy and I didn't play her little game. I also quit therapy lol
Your right very dangerous. When people start planning a suicide is when they are a step away from actually doing it. To plan visualizer and imagine brings one close to bringing it to full fruition. It's like entering a dark psychological and spiritual tunnel. The deeper you go the harder it is to turn back. Stay in the light reject all dark thoughts.
Wild. The same thing happened to me. It was a child and family therapist at the base I was stationed at. I’m was in the military and she’s telling me it’s ok to feel anger and asked me what I’d do if I saw my perp. I lied and told her I’d quickly walk away. I’m not telling a military therapist that I have homicidal ideations. I wasn’t trying to get kicked out lol
I worked as support staff for psychologists and psychiatrists and a good portion of them were absolute nutcases. I could write a small book on my experiences with them, lol.
@lindyt3942 Psych records/info are so protected that before you can legally send records, the Dr has to sign off on them. It would be madness to post ANY information regardless of how vague. 🤔
strange that the psychiatrist takes him to live with her knowing he is mentally ill she wants him to take care of her 4 year old son. this woman has no common sense.
Sad story. Glad Weiss survived. Hope Jake gets help he needs. Hope Pamela gets help she obviously needs also. You can see the desperation in her face in those photos. As a psychiatrist she had to be aware of how fragile Jake was mentally. I think at worst she purposely weaponized him and at best she saw what was happening and bought that sledgehammer and sat back to see how it would play out. Either way I believe she is guilty.
Super similar to a Swedish true crime story I heard of recently. The flighting couple are attorneys and she consoles a woman crying in a restaurant restroom. She then makes this woman, with a history of mental health issues, take out loans to pay for hit men and even tries to get her to recruit her own son/boy in her custody. She claimed the ex husband was abusing their children and it was to rescue the children. The ex husband was shot but survived.
Poor Caulder. When one parent plots to or successfully ends the other parent, the only thing they’ve accomplished is orphaning their own child. I wonder if that was Buchbinder’s intention when she broached the idea of him coming to live with her. I hate to admit that her skill at playing the “long game” is low key impressive.
Yeah the her "long game" is impressive when it's mental extortion and coercion. With sexual deviant undertones. my mother is a professional. Been playing the game a long time. It's coming to an end. I can't imagine her going to prison. She's never been to jail. I hope.she gets herself gone, before she ends up where she put me. In a cage.
I work in mental health. Severely mentally I’ll people can be very suggestible, especially with people they are close to and have a close relationship with. I honestly believe him. It is absolutely disgusting as a family member and a mental health professional that she would betray his trust like that.
I'd say they were complicit. Selfies taken after the fact could be the basis of an insanity defense and he knew it. Imo Jake and his psychiatrist had a very weird thing going on.
Yes the picture of them laying down together right by each other with a blanket on top was a red flag for me . Yes as young cousins , that’s fine , but they’re adults & I would never lay like that with my older male cousin .
Thank God he survived.I feel sorry for Jake he was taken advantage and manipulated from this Phsycho.Pamela was as guilty as him a master manipulator and thank God she was put in jail as she deserved.I feel sorry for the family that they had to go through this."Reach out to her son" the defense is delusional I hope he stays away from her.She doesn't deserve that.
Please don't believe everything u hear come out of a psychopathic mind. I have met so many like this is no joke. I don't care to mention my experiences, or my senses but this it is lying. Also there is two sides of the story and this show will never show u the true side.

🚩1 - It is highly unethical for a psychiatrist to therapize a family member
🚩2 - It is even more unethical to let the patient move in and engage with them on such a personal level
Precisely!!
Yes it is sick, insane, odd...
And he was still in his teens!!!!
So Jake's parents are to blame to agree to that
@@rameshrolla1574 as much as I can see the pain in their faces and I believe they understand they failed their son, I do think they have part of the responsibility. For me she is the person with more responsibility in this, she was the professional with a license and a code of conduct, she was the adult grooming and manipulating a young person, she was the one that saw him in jail for years and abandoned him instead of taking responsibility for what he did, she is a horrible person, but what parents send their teen, even if is an older teen, but he is still unstable to live with this older woman that is already violating all rules of therapy and think it will be ok? I think they were naive or trusted her blindly. I do feel they truly regret it and are in much pain.
This is the clearest case of grooming and exploitation of a vulnerable person I've seen in a while.
Well, it’s certainly not the clearest case of grooming or exploitation we’ve seen recently, given the fact that this sort of thing happened all the time… the only difference is the sicko’s are normally male and the victim’s are usually female (though men do victimize younger men as well as women).
“Grooming”? That’s a QAnon word. He knew exactly what he was doing.
@@monicadonnelly4991I mean that's the point of grooming. he thought it was right because she groomed him into thinking so
@monicadonnelly4991 And she didn't? She took advantage of her position and had an unethical relationship with him. I'm in no way saying that somehow excuses his actions, but you also have to take into account the role her own actions and boundary-crossing played in it as well. She did purchase the sledge hammer, they have her on tape.
@@sketch735
Call it unethical manipulation then. Way too many people are being unfairly accused of being “groomers” these days.
A mother who truly loves her son would not want his father murdered.
It depends.
And a father who loves his child would never want their mother killed.
@@TheBeezusjonesWhat was that horrible whataboutism supposed to accomplish? Did you think she was talking about you?
That’s not true at all. It may be in this case but that doesn’t make it true across the board. There’s a multitude of reasons a parent will give including saving their child from violent domestic violence. This case seems to be more about selfishness by the mother, that I can agree agree with.
@@KCsFunHouse - Or worse -> Being SAed by a father or Mother who protects a predator. In either case I can see why you would want a mother/father killed to keep their child safe.
Choosing an unstable person as your babysitter is CRA-ZAY.

I've been binge watching 48 Hours on TH-cam for the past couple days, and it's gratifying to see an intended victim survive for once. I'm so glad Dr. Weiss survived this attack. I'm so so sorry this happened to him.

Dr. Weiss "the victim" is possibly the one gaslighting everybody, making his ex-wife act insane and others too, all while acting calm and innocent. It is a classic pattern and anytime you see stories like this that doesn't make sense it is often because you're missing the real problem provoker.

Im no doctor but looking the face at that woman, shes unwell
Looks aren't always the best indicator (Ted Bundy was able to lure women into a false sense of security because he 'looked normal') but she has crazy eyes (the sad, tired kind). Shayna Hubers (famous Jodi Arias-esque case) had crazy eyes too, but the wild over-energized kind.
I thought she was the patient from the thumbnail. Seriously.
😂😂😂
The same applies to the perpetrator and his mom.
Exactly what I was thinking!
If she had nothing to do with it, why didn’t she flip out through text messages once he text her with a bloody selfie asking what he should do?! Anyone else would be like wtf 😳
Yeah, true! She seems so cold-blooded. I feel sorry for all her patients who were manipulated by her. Patients usually trust their psychiatrists more than themselves. Really horrific. And I also feel sorry for the child. I hope he hasn't been traumatized by her.

When they revealed the $1.5 million life insurance policy that Pam convinced Michael to make her in charge of, it was beyond obvious that she was brainwashing Jake and thought she would get the money. Sickening.
And then when she was arrested, she just happened to have her passport and birth certificate, and Cauldrons passport. Who casually carries those things around for no reason??

Thank you
Most family killers are men and they, almost, always claim the same bs; as a narcissist is a narcissist. Attorneys are Attorneys: questionable.
i always say, “love you child(ren) more than you hate your ex” . share ppl! we learned it in kindergarten!
First of all, she shouldn’t have been treating a family member. That’s where this went wrong.
Totally unethical.
She had an incestuous relationship with her cousin. She was too close to him and had power over him. Telling him the father of her child was assaulting the kid said more about her than about her ex-partner. It was *her* sick fantasy. I'm glad the child is now with his other parent.
Was also my first thought. Does not seem normal at all.
I'm shocked that this is legal, or even professionally allowable
@@carriehazel77 It's not professionally allowable. It would be considered a dual relationship and a conflict of interest, both of which go against professional ethics and would generally result in someone's license being taken away.
Well, Jake is now out of prison. She has 3 years to go and the son is now 16. Hopefully the dad has done a good job with him and he has a bright future.
Well said.
This
She absolutely had him do this. There was no reason for her to discuss her life with him. She had all the tools to get him to do this. My nephew off his meds will do anything for anyone and not even think about it. Only on his meds does he have the clarity of his own mind. I feel so bad for him and his parents.
I agree completely
So true, I work with clients like that. And stuff they no I like for example small things like, Dr. Pepper and so on their always trying to buy or give me. Anybody I don't like and fuss about, they don't like. They listen intensely. I have to watch what I say and do around them. They want to please and we as professionals have to learn how to handle them without hurting them. Key for me is SEPARATE WITH CARE & EMPATHY. Because things as small as a Drink can turn into a diamond necklace. From not liking them because you don't to hurting them!!
So do I and breaks my heart it's so unfair that she prayed on this guy and he was sick she should be in prison just along beside him shame on her but she'll have her day when she has to face our heavenly Father and Jesus Christ
So true. My son has severe mental Illness. Yes he sometimes knows the difference between right and wrong but if you tell him something happened he believes it. If you put something in his head it would be almost impossible to make him forget or to let it go. She manipulated him and used him. I’m shocked they didn’t sent him to a mental hospital
@@nataliebondurant1640 Yes exactly. I work with them and I have 12 to 15 adults I'm over daily that is developmentally delayed. They are like sponges so I have to watch what I say to and do around them. If you are nice and good to them the more they want to please and get praises from you. They are natural protectors and this lady used this man who was vulnerable and liked her along with her profession to her advantage.
She’s a cruel person to take advantage of someone with obviously mental health problems. It’s sickening
In the clip of them at he guys bar mitzvah you can see the crazy in her eyes 👀 scary 😟
I work for a medical research institution. No one wants to work with the department of psychiatry because they are almost all narcissists that make life miserable for staff. I can’t imagine what they do to their vulnerable patients. The field attracts evil. It gives you ultimate control over vulnerable people.
Treating a relative is inappropriate. Having that relative move in with you is inappropriate. Inviting him into bed with you and your minor child, clad only in his underwear, is inappropriate
Many young psychotic girls who are damaged good themselves take up psychology in college because they think they can be a good judge to evaluate others. And they think it's fascinating to be a psychiatrist student. But they have little empathy for others as a doctor. You will see many of these female psychologists are often cold and will show no emotion on their face when they listen to your troubles.
Exactly, and then throwing him under the bus like she's so innocent. It infuriates me so bad!!!
That selfie was his way of showing his puppeteer that he was able to do what she wanted him to do.

12 years ago, my cousin was in highschool, 17 years old. We live in a country where talk about mental health was taboo at the time. The school had a psychologist that was in her mid thirties. My cousin went to see her as she was struggling at the time, but didn't tell her parents because they didn't believe in psychologists. Time after time, the psychologist got closer and closer to her, it got to the point where she would bring my cousin after school to her house when her husband wasn't at home, and without my cousins parents knowing. The psychologist sexually assaulted her. My cousin never spoke up to her, never spoke about it to the school, or her parents. It was 3 years ago that she had the courage to tell me and my sister. She got traumatized to the point where she didn't get help because she thought that if she did, the other psychologists would do the same thing to her. Moral of the story, we need to educate our children about everything, even when the subject is maybe delicate or ' taboo '.
In my 20s, I had an 70 year old female psychiatrist that I was seeing for adhd. Immediately trusting her + confusing her ill intent for "kindness", it took me awhile to realize she was a predator. It started as compliments each visit about myself, looks and body that orig. lifted my self esteem, but got weirder later as she started making comments about my husband not deserving me (I never once said a thing to make her think this), compliments becoming more sexual + she began making multiple appointments weekly for no reason that my insurance refused to cover so she started paying for these extra appointments for me. The last time I saw her, she began touching my leg and put her hand up my skirt, touching my privates. Our time was almost up + I Immediately said I had to go and rushed to door. She blocked the door and started confessing her love for me. Luckily even in fear/shock, I had the smarts to tell her if she didn't move, I'd scream and let the whole office hear me. She had no choice, but to let me go, but then obsessively began calling me 100s of times each day to apologize/lure me back to her office. I saved and reported her crazy voice-mails and was able to get her shut down permanently + license revoked....but the saddest thing to me was that this woman practiced for 50 years + prior to opening her own practice worked in teen girl detention centers and orphanages. The number of young girls she likely abused is so incredibly sad. Had I not been an adult woman, I could've easily been another victim.
Even in a country like mine where mental health isn't taboo, the majority of people automatically trust these people to have their best interest. On top of it, nobody expects women to abuse other women/girls. Unfortunately bias cloaks these predators + they use it to their advantage. You really have to live life trusting no one until proven otherwise and that's sad.
I'm so sorry to hear the horrific abuse your cousin endured and truly hope she has found some healing since ❤
@@alyssapage1585 thank God you got her shut down! You could consider contacting a local investigative journalist to report on her and maybe resolve some issues for kids from years ago.
Heck, when children go to camp, I bet they couldn't remember everyone's names, let alone know where they lived, etc. In order to report a crime like this.
Maybe many victims would appreciate your testimony and the fact you fought back!! Maybe more would come forward.

@@WindDancer435 of course there's not rule that if you have a certain profession you must be a certain way. Professions that are highly respected for the role they play in the community, like law enforcement, judge, doctor, military attract narcisists who like the status that profession comes from it, which is not exactly the same thing. Going into care professions offers sadistical personalities the chance to be sadistical without really standing out. Just like a pedophile would want to work around kids.
I am not picking on psychologist, psychiatrists, etc. I was just trying to make a point: someone's profession isn't an indicator of their character and good intentions. Don't take it so personally. Just because you are a good person, it doesn't mean everyone working in this area is the same.
As a therapist, there are so many boundaries crossed with the cousin!! Dual relationship, unethical behavior.
@Frithia5281 I don’t think it would be ethical for them to treat a family member (not counting something small like their child getting a scrape and needing to be cleaned up and bandaged). In an emergency, it might be different. I don’t actually know though.
The severity of injury/condition being treated usually determines whether it’s ok to medically treat a family member. It’s common place for a doctor to write blood pressure medicine for family member - but you typically wouldn’t have a family member do high risk treatment or procedures on seriously I’ll people. A bipolar drug addict that seems autistic is definitely more similar to a high risk treatment that a family member shouldn’t do. If it was simple seasonal affective disorder that’s probably fine to have your cousin treat.
So yes psychiatrists are similar to every other practitioner
@Frithia5281 its not good practice for any doc but def unethical in psych
not the first woman to manipulte a man to killing her ex and claiming they abused and potrayed them as a monster, she is guilty imo . that buying hammer seals it,
She attacked her husband with a piece of glass. Sounds like several people in this story needed therapy, including herself.
SOOO many boundaries were crossed here, where do I even begin?!? The fact she was actively treating him while he was living under her roof, watching her son, all the while she had control of just about everything in his life....is mind blowing! It's totally and completely unethical, and down right grooming if I ever saw it. I honestly feel bad for Jake, he's ruined his life, and without Pamela, I believe he wouldn't have hurt anyone.
I agree!
That woman should never be allowed near her son. She's manipulative and frightening. Hopefully by the time she's out he'll be grown and won't want anything to do with her.
Sounds like he’ll be around 20 yrs old when she gets out
I believe him. Especially after hearing her excuse for the map. Why tf would he need to know the ins and outs of the apartment building to get to the daycare?! She wrote the daycare down because she knows he’s familiar with that location. Add that to the footage of her buying a sledgehammer. How did she get away with that?!

My brother is a clinical psychologist; I ended up in 2 abusive situations and with severe PTSD. It broke my brother's heart because it is unethical for family to treat family. As much as he wanted to help, all he could do was be supportive while I continue therapy. Why were there no alarms sounded in him being treated by a cousin? This is infuriating.
They clearly aren’t experts and wanted their son to get help. Who would think that family would do something crazy like this? Situations like this are rare. That’s why it’s being sensationalized on tv for us
However…..
In the olden days, before the therapists, people did rely on the family, friends, good neighbors, community for the feedback, to look out for each other: the bad apples were known. Life experience and wisdom were respected . There were no psychotropics.
And a good brother would look out for his sister in very direct ways, including , preventively, to divert the bad suitor, or help to get out of gone-bad relationship/marriage.
This therapy business has skewed our perception of normalcy and obscured the plain view.
These days it’s upside down, inside out: it’s nobody’s business, unless it’s the paid therapist’s business.
Not good.

“Parents aren’t experts”? - they are experts at loving their son.
If the cousin was NOT HIS OFFICIAL THERAPIST, but only as a helpful experienced cousin, a relative, being generous with access to a little boy - that is simply familial generosity.
Parents are not expected to be experts in “fields”. Parents often have to follow their gut and not see “therapy” as a panacea.
As a society , we would be better off if the term “therapy” was replaced only with psychological or psychiatric TREATMENT.
Because not all treatments are therapeutic, even if it is only talk. In fact, they could be the most insidiously poisonous.
Oh please. Doesnt everyone say they have "severe" PTSD?? 🤣🤣🤣

The fact that she had her passports in her bags as they arrested her says a lot !!!!! She was ready to try and escape

Admission of guilt.
I’m telling you… I went to psychiatrists and psychologists when I was a young adult, to resolve trauma from childhood. Out of 6 professionals I saw, 4 of them were crazier than I ever could have been on my WORST day. Thankfully, I ended up with two I could trust, and I’m fine today, 25 years later. But I recommend you do a background check on any mental health professional before you hand over your children. Honestly, there was plenty in the public record about that toxic relationship with the father (who she chose) of her child. That would be enough right there to send me headed for the hills. Thank goodness, I’ve never needed to do it.
Also, let’s call Pamela what she is, among many other terrible things - a GROOMER.
Absolutely. If you have ANY problem skills or are intelligent, you need them for medication..that's IT. Most are horrible people with horrible motives. Most ppl have similar stories.
I stopped talking to my psychiatrist “I’m fine”. I do phone consultations and basically just want the meds. My mom is the best psychiatrist .

So true. I know a young woman who wanted to be a psychiatrist and she had numerous mental issues. Still does. Fortunately she chose another path.
She hated her child’s father more than she loved her child.
And she hated herself even more to do what she did.
I’ve dated a psychiatrist before.. when we started dating, my dad has said “he’s probably crazier than all of em”.. he in fact.. was.. crazier than all of them. He used his knowledge for evil. I’m starting to see a pattern here 😂
EDIT: Some of y’all took this comment way too serious 🤣
Well yeah, many psychiatrists get into the profession to try and figure out what’s wrong with themselves etc. It starts as self study of their own traumas for many of them
My husband says the same thing about psychs!! His Aunt is one, & he calls her crazy too! 😂
Most people in Mental Health either struggle themselves or have loved ones who struggle with mental health.
@@bc5208 Who hurt you? That comment came off as unneccesarily rude.
Yeah the only person I ever fired on the spot (totally illegal) for gross disobedience was a Psych Major. She tried to psychoanalyze everything I asked her to do! And the company a household name multinational company stood right behind me after the event. Most doctors will tell you that it's not the inmates in the psych wards with the problems. They are very often FITH themselves!!
Just adding- if you have mental health problems and need help, don’t let videos like this prevent you from seeking help. There are bad people in every profession and every setting but most doctors are not like this. If you need help, don’t let negative stereotypes and assumptions prevent you from seeking help. Don’t put your life on the line because someone in the comments said all doctors are evil or crazy. It’s not true. Seek help. And if you don’t find it in the first or second or third professional, keep looking. It took me more than 20 years to really find someone who helped me and he saved my life. I’m sure he doesn’t know it, but if it wasn’t for my psychiatrist, I wouldn’t be here raising my kids today. So don’t let all these negative comments and negative people get in the way of you getting help if you need it. There is a better future out there.
It shouldnt take 20 yrs to find a competent doctor but its the same in my city. Terrible GPs careless surgeons ....
As someone with autism who has been manipulated by practically every friend in my life I suspect Jake may be on the spectrum. We have a hard time reading people who have really bad intentions and we often use alcohol and drugs to cope with burnout and to numb emotions we cannot process
Great comment/assessment…..I agree….Jake is deeply troubled on multiple levels.
Wanted to add that I was diagnosed with anxiety/depression and adhd as well for 20 years until I connected the dots and realized I have autism. I have been an addict all my life- cigarettes, caffeine, xanex, pain medication and harder drugs, all stims to help me cope with my brain. Taking medication for depression when I had autism just messed me up even more 🙃
@@elisabethhallstein8644 hope you find a healthy way to deal and cope with. What you are dealing with, God bless may you get healing in the name of Jesus Christ, my best wishes you are brave for sharing
I'm autistic and am getting autistic vibes as well. We tend to be gullible and are deeply loyal, albeit usually not violent.
I felt that while watching as well. I have a 17 year old son on the spectrum and I can see that being a possibility in Jake's case. I feel like it would be easier for someone like her to manipulate someone like him into something of this magnitude. He didn't see that he was being manipulated. I am glad she is bei g held accountable. I pray Jake gets out and is able to live a normal life and toove past this situation.
His text to her, when he got to the hospital told it all. He texted her, as if she already knew details, because had she not, she would have call his phone, in a panic of confusion on what was the reason behind the attack, not text, "Where?" Like, where, what?
I took that to be the shorthand for "which hospital".
Just the look of her eyes is creepy enough she's def crazy in many ways.
The family eyes.
She is way out there and needs a mental health institution for life her brain never got off the bottom floor .
@@Janellabelle Hope the child doesn't end up with her brain level and can learn stuff fast

Wow, the psychiatrist was cunning. She not only knew how to persuade/brainwash someone who was emotionally vulnerable. But it was her profession.

I was listening to this as I was driving, finally a question got asked "why did you buy the sledgehammer?" I don't think a sledgehammer is a very regular purchase for a psychiatrist living in downtown Manhattan.
Loving the prosectution at Pamela's sentencing. Just because she accepted a plea deal doesn't mean she should somehow be praised an amazing human being. I love that they stated for the record all the terrible things she did - plea deal or no plea deal.

What's with these replies? Smfh..
A family member, a mental health professional, a psychiatrist manipulated a deeply mentally ill family member.. "adult consequences" don't apply here, not fully..
I can immediately tell Jake is 100% sincere, he's like my brother who has high functioning autism and is incapable of lying...there was absolutely no motive and like he said he had nothing to hide as he would have died for her. He viewed her so highly, trusted her, was particularly vulnerable and she full on groomed him. She is a complete psychopath who ruined this poor kid's life. My heart goes out to everyone who was affected by these unfortunate circumstances. Had she not manipulated him, I'm sure he would not have harmed anyone. She was telling him every day that the little boy he so grew to love was being SA'd by her ex, he didn't question it because he trusted her. Very sad all around but she should be in prison for life.
His life was in pretty bad shape already, dont get me wrong, i m not trying to defend anything or anyone.
My son has high functioning autism too and cannot tell a lie... My ex of 24 years a narcissist alcoholic has abused booth our children verbally and physically. It was sickening. It has taken me 17 years to heal from the marriage.
If Jake had been “Jackie,” and if Pamela had been “Paul,” this would have been a totally different story. We need to take care of and protect our sons as much as our daughters.
So very true 🥹
So true. I have a son and always find myself reminding people young men and boys are victims too.
But also, I don’t believe for a second the parents would’ve let their young daughter move in with their uncle.
I did. I never trusted people with my boys.

I think he was infatuated with her and she was catching feeling. It's not fair to say he doesn't have a bad bone in him. He committed a horrific act. Yes she manipulated him into the attack but he was also a willing participant.
Exactly. This idea that people are incapable of horrible things is wrong. We are ALL capable of horrible things.
He did have psychological issues to begin with. She knew she could easily manipulate him cause he was damaged. He never hurts anyone if he doesn’t meet her.
He has bipolar it’s pretty logical this could have happened in a long period of time look at the symptoms sometime
He wasn't willing if u think too much bout it
I don't believe this one bit. She primed and groomed him using her techniques but I don't believe there was anything more to it than a dysfunctional relationship.
How scary that a psychiatrist, purportedly trained to help others, can sink to these depths.

They do it all the time in the CIA.
The first red flag I noticed is that the psychiatrist should have never taken Jake as a client because she's a family member. That represents a conflict of interest right there.
People who are not well versed into mental health do not usually know that information. Therefore, it was up to the psychiatrist alone to have put this safeguarding in place.
I don’t believe Jake would have harmed anyone if it weren’t for Buchbinder. She manipulated a troubled person. I feel so sorry for Jake’s parents. They seem like good people.

This is a great example of the power of stochastic terrorism, and a huge reason why right-wing media tries so hard to push this groomer thing on the left. They're weaponizing their gullible base.

The psychiatrist crossed the line when she accepted a family member to be a patient and invite him to live with her!! A big no no!! Her intentions seems suspish from the beginning!! The parents also have to be accountable as well, allowing their son to live with a single mom!! Geezus!! All this is creepy from all angles! 🤕😱😱

Seems like 48 Hours didn’t want to fully address the incestuous relationship that was obviously going on here. They made a half hearted attempt to suggest it then walked away from the topic entirely. Those texts are clearly indicative of an inappropriate bond. Manipulating a family member’s behavior with sexual favors is about as twisted as it gets
I know. I'm wondering about that too. I think there was more to this part.

Why ? They should have looked after their son
They given full responsibility to her so they don't deal with him
He should sue his parents
I think there are grounds for a civil suit, the parents however misguided intrusted their son to a registered professional psychiatrist for help and she acted totally unprofessionally to have him come live with her and her son, let alone become his svengali. I would think these would be very strong grounds for a civil suite. Manson was the mastermind of multiple murders and he manipulated those women, no difference here except he wasn't their professional board approved psychiatrist.

Her first response after getting texts from Jake where he mentions Michael and him were bleeding a lot was not to frantically call or ask for details. It was just "Where?" From that response, it kinda seems like she already knew about what happened and most likely DID manipulate a mentally ill person into doing it.
If she loved her son, she would Not cause the son's pain of his father's death, over her own hatred towards his father.

I had a nervous breakdown in grad school while I was "under the care of" a Christian counselor who was also a professor at one of the Boston area seminaries. After my breakdown, I went to a psychiatrist and burst into tears. I cannot express the relief I experienced after I told her my troubles and then was told I was having a major depressive episode. I thought I was losing my mind up to that point. It was horrible until I was properly diagnosed.
Take nothing for granted when seeking out mental health practitioners, particularly if they also have an academic appointment. Academics seem to have the most depraved moral standards that I've encountered among human beings. Their loyalties are often divided and they seem more concerned with attaining/keeping their tenure than actually helping/teaching their students or clients (if they are mental health practitioners).

Sad story. Glad Weiss survived. Hope Jake gets help he needs. Hope Pamela gets help she obviously needs also. You can see the desperation in her face in those photos. As a psychiatrist she had to be aware of how fragile Jake was mentally. I think at worst she purposely weaponized him and at best she saw what was happening and bought that sledgehammer and sat back to see how it would play out. Either way I believe she is guilty.

Thank God he survived.I feel sorry for Jake he was taken advantage and manipulated from this Phsycho.Pamela was as guilty as him a master manipulator and thank God she was put in jail as she deserved.I feel sorry for the family that they had to go through this."Reach out to her son" the defense is delusional I hope he stays away from her.She doesn't deserve that.
Please don't believe everything u hear come out of a psychopathic mind. I have met so many like this is no joke. I don't care to mention my experiences, or my senses but this it is lying. Also there is two sides of the story and this show will never show u the true side.
@@pp1234 I agree and that's why both are in jail.She was the mastermaind and he was the executor.
I disagree. If that’s true, then why did he take pictures? He’s only saying this now because he’s in trouble.
