Yes, but how are those parents themselves created? What social factors go into influencing ratty parental behaviour, or the absence, or lack of any positive parental influence on children? My own parents expressed a valuing of hard work, honesty and thrift as well, but uneducated, clumsy and short sighted about their own unchallenged values, raised a couple of sticky fingered monsters, who showered non-stop adulation on them to get access to more and more of their money and property, and who now pose as "propertied, socially responsible and socially concerned activists." Go figure.
The big movement away from Biblical notions of right and wrong was during the 60s and 70s as the Boomers came of age and many of them embraced and pushed postmodern thought into politics and culture. But ultimately each person is responsible for their own actions.
Nah cuz then it’s the parents of the parents fault for raising someone who would raise someone like that lol. Everyone’s responsible for their own actions. Also id blame parents for raising spoiled children who think they are entitled to things. Wouldn’t put blame on them for raising a rapist at 14….
@@AC-LING666 I see it now, you’re one of those crazy insane people. I checked out your page and it seems like all you can comment is stuff like this. You need help or you’re gonna end up just like him and not get off scott free.
Mmmm. Maybe violent ones, but things such as drugs, theft, or fraud i dont think so. A buttload of community service, a program like scared straight, and maybe even court ordered role models for the kid, and of course juvi time. But sending a kid to adult facilities for a non violent crime is injustice
Dad seems embarrassed. We don't care if he's 14. He committed an adult crime. I'm sure even the victim was shocked to learn he was 14, you can't tell just by looking at him.
The father being more concerned about his criminal son’s face being shown than the woman he brutalized speaks volumes and is exactly what’s wrong with the world; monsters are everywhere and blend in so well.
@@nineteen96 the irony of your idiotic comment lmao. I dont care if thatsmy child jit im not worrying about his face bein on the news take that mf to jail charge em as an adult cuz why thr hell u 14 raping somebody. U tryna justify this man asking how to get his rapist son face off the news tells alot about u
The father is more concerned about his offspring being in the news than the poor victim's horrific encounter with this criminal. Typical " my son is a good boy."
@@jacquelinelewis5769 The question is how many more have fallen victim to the hands of this monster? Let's see if others will come forward; even children.
@@jacquelinelewis5769 I had to double check and even turned on closed caption words...AM. Early to have to walk to work. Disgusting that it happened by someone so young. Yeah! Out committing a random-stranger rape at 4 AM. There's no excusing that, dad.
I just don't like that when a white kid rapes ppl, the USA law goes easy on them. Example: Brock Turner, he is white kid and raped someone but he got 6 months jail, but was released after serving 3 months.
@@emmajessica46778you Americans do it all the time when it comes to innocent people overseas, Biden would say, and trump, that the dad has every right to defend his son
So 14 years old and walking the streets at 4am. I’m not saying that I was the perfect parent but when my kids were 14 years old they were home and asleep in their rooms. Parents need to be aware and involved with their children.
I'm amazed at all the people who think they can keep tabs on their kid 24h a day. How often do you check to see if your kid is in bed every single day? Every hour? every 2 hours? Seriously. You have never been able to sneak out of your house when you were a kid?
@@eve_l Being a good parent is about raising and knowing your kids well enough to not need to worry about what they'll do no matter where they are or what time it is. It's about a LOT more than just sneaking out...
Its HIS son, why wouldn't he be worried about his son, while yes you have a point of him not worrying for the victim, there is no point being made by saying he worries about his son.
He should be worried he son is f#$&Ed. And rightfully so. And he should be worried about himself as well. He son should and hopefully will be made an example. That teena should be charged as adults for these crimes and others.
Do I have to pull out a backed up research showing that a large majority of rape that happens in America is mostly caused by white people than any other race in America, or do you just wanna remain quiet?
@@MultiSuperguy101 "Even if-" Yeah notice how that never happens though? And you have to resort to making hypothetical situations up. Person: "This is a problem." You: "Oh yeah?? Well that if it were the opposite??" And you think you're making any sort of point lmfao.
It speaks to what he the father is trying to hide and if he has nothing to do with how his son turned out I'd think he'd be a little concerned about the victim and maybe apologizing for his son vs not acknowledging that he's mentally gone
@@la381 By this logic, the school shooter must have learned it from his parents. I’m not ready to make dad out to be a victim yet until more comes out. There are MANY underage criminals who have their identities protected. The father is asking for the same. I couldn’t imagine what thoughts I’d have learning my son committed such a horrific act.
@@downnthevalley1028 why would he be concered for a victim more than his own image nigga are u dumb or what? u would care more about the victim u never seen before than ur son being a rapist and having to disown him?
The father is concerned about his rapist son’s photos being shown? Absolutely disgusting. Charge him as an adult. He has destroyed that woman’s ability to move around in public spaces. People need to be held accountable. Even children know it’s not OK to assault someone. This person is 14 years old not 4.
@@Ash_NuggTatohe should love him after he brutally raped someone? Make your stupid logic make sense. That child is dead to me after that. You don't do crimes to innocent people. The fact that you're definitely a cold harted criminal and not the victim says so much about you.
The. Dad acts like his kid broke a window. He does not see the seriousness of it all. I wonder what kind of example he has set. Look into his history, I'm sure his past is just as violent and sick.
Had this been a white boy would the police do the same put up a minor picture. I understand what this young teen was very bad. But who is going to protect him when he get out. By having his picture blasted on the news what if someone just kill him because of all the press. Yes, he should go through psychological mental health for his crime.
I agree with you on the dad who doesn't see the seriousness of It all. But It isn't always a parents fault. Some kids can have a mind of their own and want to do whatever they want. Sometimes the only way to learn is the hard way and that can be going to jail.
I honestly think his dad is part of it too. Or at least influenced him because no other kid at 14 commits random acts of crime. It's bad parenting and total loss of human decency. Kid should be rotting in jail and the dad dies alone without seeing his son again.
He should be tried as adult they've been making it an excuse that he's a minor.He knows what he is doing is wrong.I hope the Dad thinks about the brutality that the victim sustained.He needs to learn his lesson the hard way.Crime doesn't pay.
That's right all these manors trying to do harm cause they get away today was the lady he raped tommorrow could be any one of us he needs to be treated like an adult he knew what he was doing A MEN
Sometimes no matter how hard a parent tries to teach their teen children what is expected of them, some can not accomplish it no matter how hard the parent tries. Facts sometimes hard-working loving parents are rewarded with horrible children determined to ruin their lives and of their parents.
@@ociliacanton2017 you did not understand what "misguided concerns" means. The dad doesn't care that a woman is traumatized for life. He's concerned about his son's image. He's a trash human with trash thoughts and an even worse son.
It may be one of those cases where the son wasn't 'raised', but left to his own devices, growing up physically, but without proper guidance or discipline. Who were his friends? Who did he hang out with? What occupied his free time? What kind of student was he? Was he on social media or the internet? What role did his parents play in his upbringing? Only speculating, but something sounds very awry here. Answer the above questions and more, paint a picture and tell a story of how we got here.
These aren’t the types of crimes that can be rehabilitated. It’s the same as kids who start out harming animals. It’s a sign of much worse things to come. He should be charged as an adult and put away for a long time.
dad has no accountability. put him to jail too. boy had previous attempted rape charge 2 years prior to this incident. keep these monsters inside prison.
@@ian5780 it's called an enabler dad. He needs to put back his belt on his pants and stop the drama. He doesn't even look surprised or emotional. Seems there's something or some planning in this situation. I hope custody be granted to the responsible parent even though he'll get out of jail as an adult, depending on how the victim recovers. If she doesn't it'll be more time inside to think about it.
I hate to see this going man after doing some hard time starting so young. You think his crimes are harsh now. Most he'll get is 13yrs anyways being it was violent. Kid needs some help and that should be a part of the deal regardless. Just locking people up doesn't solve anything if they don't get help. Not everyone has self reflection criminal or not
Rape with proof should automatically be life in prison with no chance of parole. Once a sexual predator, always a sexual predator. No one can change my mind. These people don’t change and this will never stop unless we put an end to it.
People need to understand just because he is fourteen years old does not make him innocent. He is fully aware of his intentions and still did it. This will continue if no charges are pressed against him. As long as he remains free, the public is in danger. The law should be enforced to the highest degree to make the community safe for our families and friends.
“fathers” like him are the reason why kids are raised to be terrible human beings, if my child or someone i loved were to ever commit something like that i could care less about them anymore and hope they get the punishment they deserve for being disgusting people. keep that same energy w everyone
@@rageisbliss pretty sure he is pointing out when you have a family and a child you will always love that child unconditionally as they are your child. It’s easy to say stuff like that now until you have a child
yea and hes as big as an adult he littearly looks 25 alot of people in the comments are saying but hes a teen he should be in juvi LOL no he deserves to be in prison im glad he is in prison
If he's BIG enough to do the CRIME, he should also do the TIME! Showing his photo helped to catch him! Parents should not cover over their children's crimes. just because he's 14 does not excuse what he did. I feel for the Victim, IS SHE OKAY?
@@verreal pretty sure they are since they brains aint no where near deveolopment, just toss kids in adult prison, dont even try to save some of them and reform a deveolping brain? nah just damage it worse right?
The father sounds like an enabler , it's possible the son knows he can get away with crap , like leaving at 4 am , he probably has done it quite often and knowingly there is no strict rules at home
Some parents don't take care about their children at all. In my country, there's a case where a group of teens got run down by a car because they decide to ride their bikes in the middle of the night with no lights in the middle of a highway! They blame the car driver when it's their fault not making sure their children at home at 2am! Honestly this case made me furious because it could happen to anyone, even me. Drivers should not be prosecuted because of stupid children doing stupid things!
He snuck out how is it the father's fault? You can't stop an unruly child anymore without being accused of abusing them. Teenagers don't listen and run away every day, don't blame his parenting. Blame the teenager for being stupid. He should be trailed as an adult and put on a sex offender list. The Single father has responsibilities like going to work what responsible parent is up at 3:00AM or 4:00AM?
You don't know what she looked like. She prolly had a nice 🍑. Boy is only 14, and he big too, so probably got too much testosterone and can't control himself. He need medication, so don't judge.
His son is a rapist I don’t care what color his skin is his heart is full of hatred that’s what I see also this rapist better be on the sex offender list now !!!
I agree. His son committed a heinous crime and he should be charged as an adult. Idc, if he’s a child or not, he committed a crime at the end of the day.
As a grown man without any daughters I demand this boy be held to the super max as a example for society to abide by. I'm tired of a tyrannical government protecting sexual abusers and over punishing drug users who are almost always abuse survivors.
a crime is a crime. abuse requires treatment. you are innocent till 18 yrs after that the onus is on you to fix your problems and not harm anybody, including yourself
Consider trying him as adult??? Trying him as an adult should be a no brainer, and to his p.o.s father NO!!! They should not remove his photos from the media!!! He made an adult decision, to violate some one destroying their life, thus breaking the law so allow him to deal with the adult consequences of, mass media exposure and shaming!!! YOU RAISED HIM, AND TAUGHT HIM EVERYTHING THAT HE KNOWS, SO THEY SHOULD LOCK YOU UP TO DAD!!! YOU FREAKING DEMONS!!!☹️👎🏿
If it's forever he'll be a lifelong drain on our state's resources If we monetize him we'll have another Attica situation If we opt for a cheaper more permanent solution... we'll have a "human" rights issue. It would have been better if he was never born in the first place.
Sad that he needs help and no one would bat an eye because he did a terrible crime such as this. Why can't we just look back and see why....what is the reason behind him doing this in the first place and stop others like him from even attempting to do it. I mena this can go for any crime at a young age regardless....more crimes ar ebeing done by people under the age of 18 is it not?
*UPDATE:* He was charged as an adult. ✔ His name is Terry Berger Smith. He was charged with four counts of 'Sexual Battery' (the legal term for 'Rape' in Florida) and also for one count of kidnapping. His arrest affidavit stated that he told the victim that he had been watching her & that he wanted to add her to his “collection.” At *12 years old,* he attempted to rape a woman *at knifepoint* & during the attempted rape, he ripped out the victim's tooth and kept it as a 'trophy.' During the rape that he was charged (as an adult) for, he stomped on the victim and repeatedly raped her, livestreaming part of the attack to his friend. The victim asked him if he had any diseases. He told her "I have AIDS." _If_ he had been charged as only a _juvenile_ (& convicted), he would have received only 3 years in a juvenile detention center & would have been on probation until he turns 21. ~ I haven't been able to find any info about his court/sentencing for the rape he was charged as an adult for. (Are the courts _still_ backlogged from the pandemic?? That might explain the delay.)
Thank you for the update. I am sickened by the fact that this was not his first attempt to do such a heinous thing. Why was he not being supervised or even released from the first incident? He ripped out her friggin tooth as a trophy, WTF?!? His father is a real POS as well. Has a son with a track record of SA and shows zero concern for the victim.
@@soniaharrison1016 Blame this on the news station, not showing the whole trial! Conversely, we want short clips, but then we do Not get the whole story as a result! So, you are making a judgement without having the full facts!
Thank god, I thought I was going crazy. When I was younger, 6 to be exact, an older cousin of about 14 molested me repeatedly. Although, I believe that it began earlier. I am now 17 and memories of this have never deserted me and I am now dealing with the mental consequences. I asked my mom why she did not report it, but she said that he was just a child at the time. That really hurt me. And you know what, not even three years ago, the same cousin was caught molesting someone else. These people never change even after years.
Sorry to hear your story. I feel your pain. I know a little boy who parent tried to press charges and the police wouldn't because the older white boy was the predator and the lil black boy disnt get any justice. What a sad world. At 18 you should be able to press charges on bbn your own. Make sure this man stays in jail where he belongs good luck to you and please get some help you dont know how bad something like this will take a toll on you and mold your character in the future.
Sorry for your circumstances. Hopefully you can press charges at 18 so this assaulter doesn’t continue. Sometimes being the person on the receiving end can feel like it’s a death sentence- this should never be taken lightly. Please be kind to yourself always and continue being an advocate. I hope you are able to heal.
Stop giving us the age excuse. It doesn't matter. All the effects on the victim are the same. That victim's life is forever changed and victim needs justice. It doesn't matter if he was an adult or not. He made the decision to sexually abuse a woman and he should pay for it. If he is willing to do this at 14, imagine what he will be capable whrn growing up?
Yeah the kid needs to be locked up. At 14 to even think of something like this is just demented. Some kids are just evil, the wicked go estranged from the womb.
@@pokemon9573 he's saying that white people commit a majority of the rapes and I agree during America's own apartheid a lot of racist white people used to rape black women
"If you can't do the time, then don't do the crime!" Shame on his father for defending his son's behavior, parents want to be parents after their children commit a crime (and what a gruesome one at that, disgusting). Discipline must first begin at home before it can spread abroad!
@@budgetbuilt8838 dad is trying to hide the face of the monster he created. It's sick he thinks his son deserves any shred of dignity after what he's done.
@@jtomyhope575 it's not about dignity. It's the fact that his son had an online presence so finding his address is easy. Showing his sons face give people easy access to his social media. He's probably getting death threats and wants it to stop. He's very obviously not trying to hide or excuse it. People like you is why he wants his sons face hidden, he's scared for his own life.
Glad to hear he's been arrested! He definitely needs to be charged as an adult; this behavior will just escalate. Correct it now or you'll regret it later.
The judge won't regret anything. Them and their corrupt buddies are getting paid six figures to spend much of their time locking away people on drug charges. If this kid is released, he ain't getting anywhere near the gated community where the judge most likely lives.
The father needs to shut the hell up because no 14-year-old who is completely normal does All this. he needs to get life in prison $10 billion bail he’s lucky that they don’t take his life are doing this
LIFE in prison?! 10 billion dollars bail? Ok this kid deserves punishment but don’t be such a ridiculously extremist. He’s not a mass murderer or hardcore terrorist. Let the judge decide what is LEGALLY obliged.
My heart goes out to this woman who was just walking to work. The brutal behavior of this young monster didn’t just pop up this one time. Any one this cruel must pay the price. Praying this woman and her family recovers💕🙏💕
This doesn't surprise me because when I was a child I was molested by my own brother when he was like 14 years old & I was only 5 or 6 years old. My mother would leave me alone with him to go to work & he found the opportunity to take advantage of me! This is also bad parenting because there was no other adult to protect me. All my life my own mother lived in denial, treated my brother like he never did anything wrong & enabled him from his own actions!
Why is this his Father's fault?? Who are you to make such pronouncements without having full facts? The parents could be good people, but, unfortunately, with a Son that has his own mind and commits terrible acts!
@@lenitaa7938 Usually, sons with good parents don't end up wondering the streets at 4 am looking for women to assault. just by looking at this goon it seems like his parents were negligent and let him become engulfed in toxic culture, drugs and hedonism. looks like he's never been told no in his life and wasn't disciplined enough. the lack of attention lead to violent outbursts and mental illnesses. And look at it this way, if a kid plays ball and breaks a neighbors window the parent pays, therefore the same logic should apply. his parents outta pay for that woman's recovery.
This is terrible!! Some of these teenagers are outrageous! He definitely needs to be charged as an adult. He should have been in his bed sleep or in the house, instead of attacking an innocent woman, trying to go to work. If you think you man enough to be a criminal, then you man enough to do the time with the real criminals!!!
