Seven charged with murder in death of Arizona boy at party | NewsNation Now 

The kid who started it,his dad flew him off to a different location while his hands healed. He should definitely go to prison along with his kid.

So basically they waited until someone’s child died from the assault before doing anything about it. Nice.

A Suburban gang? What losers! Lord Give Preston justice!!

Some parents are raising sociopaths.

ages 20, 19, 18, 18, these ADULTS Killed a Kid. They should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. If that even exist anymore.

17 is the youngest age, old enough to join military is old enough to get life sentence

These “goons” have a date with real goons inside the penitentiary

It is a shame that a murder had to happen to an innocent teen to get these thugs off the street. I read that the dad of ANOTHER teen victim said he had to send his child out of state to keep him safe after they hurt him bad. Enough is enough. So sad and tragic.

Being arrested and charged is one thing, Lets see if they are charged as adults AND convicted!

This boy died because you didn't do your job and neither did the judge who keeps letting these punks back into society. You know who they are and how many times have they been arrested for violence. The public gets sick of hearing the same old I don't know or I didn't know when you did know and did nothing.

Hold the parents accountable as well….. This is horrible.

Life sentences for all of those ADULTS! STOP REFERRING 18 AND 19 YEAR OLDS AS CHILDREN!

It's a crime that the parents of minors are not held accountable for their kids bad behavior. Owners of dogs that maul someone are charged!

Every parent should be held accountable like the Crumbley family.

It's because the boy's father went for the throat of everyone involved. The people who could have prevented this are going to wish they did.

The parents enabled and covered up for the kids. Time to hold parents accountable. The parents will always know what their kids are up to.

If they start charging biological parents according to these crimes you'd watch this shit end real fast.

That poor little guy no one to help him how horrible!! To die from a beating how evil !!

They should be charged as adults & get a life sentence. If they can commit such a brutal crime at this age imagine when they are older. How sick!

So it took someone too die before the cops investigates this.Must be little rich kids ,they get away with everything.

The poor parents that lost a child because of a police department didn't want to do their jobs! I hope they sue the pants off of Gilbert Police for not stopping this crap way before a life was taken.

They should be charged as adults

What the hell is wrong with these kids? This is SICKENING. Charge the parents!

Police, adults, ANYONE involved or who allowed it should be held accountable

This is one of the saddest cases I have ever seen. I pray for Preston’s family and friends and pray for JUSTICE FOR PRESTON.

Where are these animals' parents?!?

How absolutely disgusting. What is wrong with people

As someone who was bullied and beat up relentlessly in middle and high school in the 80s and early 90s (when school admins looked the other way and police just didn’t care), this is infuriating! Condolences to Preston Lord’s family and friends! 😔💐

"Gilbert Goons" wouldn't last 5 minutes on Chicago's South Side.

Gilbert... same place Charles Vallow was murdered and Alex Cox wasn't arrested. Sensing a pattern here..

Something smells really wrong with the police are these people all hired or possibly connected to a large Mormon Community?? This whole area should have FBI investigations, Gilbert, Chandler and Mesa.

Grew up in Gilbert during the 90's....we had the same "gangs". Bunch of idiots with nothing better to do.

So they've done this before and got away with it? Sounds like grounds for a law suit.

The beatings had been going on for a year and the police hadn't bothered investigating them?!

AZ is not letting this go. Every where people are outraged and actually doing things about it. This is why you’re actually hearing about Preston Lord. Thanks to the real Arizona families. Keep this story going. Everyone needs to know how pathetic these kids are and the parents who raised them!

I just can’t take these horrible killings anymore. It’s traumatizing. They are all so evil..I don’t care how old they are, they need to be charged as adults.

Imagine the pain you must go through to be beat to death. My God, my God, please bring swift justice to these lost teens, and please bring your comfort upon the family of the teen who lost his life.

In the 1970's there was gang of youths in my neighborhood in South Africa. They used to beat up on individuals for no reason. Never got into a gang fight or a bar fight always picked someone who was out alone or just on a date. One night they jumped a man riding home from work on his bicycle. This victim put up such a fight that one of them decided to pull out a knife. The intended victim disarmed him and stabbed one of them to death with the knife. This intended victim was was double lucky, even though it was the height of apartheid and he was a black man and the gang were white boys the death was deemed to be self defense and some of the boys were charged with attempted robbery. One of them worked in the same workshop as me, he turned state witness and got a plea deal on the robbery charges.

My only concern is getting solid convictions on all 7 of those idiots. The wrong prosecutor could easily screw the pooch on this.

Crap parents raising crap kids... 🤬

Imagine what these kids are like in the classroom? No wonder teachers are leaving!! Is it true one parent is a principal? Which school?

The 17 year olds need to be charged as adults.

They're in for a special, good time in prison. Just not for them.

Wealthy parents own Gilbert PD.

This to me is so unbelievable. I just can’t believe these young people have been allowed to get away with beating people for so long. Just so very sad!!!!

Law Enforcement and their Gated Communities.

These teens aren’t affluent, their *parents* are affluent.

If there were so many other beatings, someone should be held responsible for the lack of prosecutions and consequences in regard. This falls on law enforcement and the legal system as well as these delinquents.

Evil attracts evil, just look at the so called suspects....

In America parents are responsible for child’s actions!

The victims will be left with PTSD. I hope Justice will be served. What kind of Animalistic behavior allows a person to prey on the innocent

Let me be clear.Those goofballs are not no gang members. Just a group of wannabe's

Hold the parents accountable, watch how quick this turns around.

My parents live in Gilbert, they are a really old couple who moved there to be near kids/grandkids who immediately divorced and moved away. I was surprised when they moved there that there are so many Mormons in Gilbert, it was chock full of them. Are these jailbird wanna bees Mormon criminal cowards? Attacking in a group is COWARDLY, attacking strangers is cowardly and both should put them behind bars where they cant hurt innocent strangers anymore. There just doesn't seem to be any accountability from the very top to the very bottom. I watched this because my nephew looks like that dead young man and I was afraid for a second. His family must be in chaos. I wish them justice, so that Preston Lord died to change the world for the better. Small compensation I know but change the world

This is happening all over. And if you defend yourself they give you life. Our civilization is in decline.

This is utterly disgusting. May this precious young man rest in peace.

What will be their sentence is the question.

What was the reason for beatings? For Fun? Another CRUMBLEY CASE!!

Evil people

SICKENING! DEATH PENALTY

The parents are a big problem, and the teens go from there.

This has made me heartsick! I pray for his family and justice 🙏🩵

parents need to take accountability, just like the adults were put away this week . Maybe we need to start doing this so parents can start seeing what there kids our up to .

MAY HE BE WITH OUR HEAVENLY FATHER IN HIS GLORIOUS KINGDOM 😢😢

America has a teens problem

What took so long to arrest these kids? The parents were wealthy-that’s why.

This is horrible... I'm so sorry 💔

Can you interview the parents of these juveniles accused and get their thoughts?

Put the parents of the minors in jail.

Why are there no pictures of Talan Renner and Jacob Meisner. They have been shown on other channels. Let everyone know who these monsters are.

We are living in a very torn and frayed country.

So sad ! Rest in peace sweet boy 😭😭😭😭😭

Looks the Gilbert PD was asleep at the donut shop.

Very sad and totally unacceptable!! Phoenix and Gilbert PD should be ashamed!

The parents must be held accountable

The parents of these teens should be also charged, if you have a kid your responsability is to educate him/her so they can become a good citizens and not become a problem for the society, parents should also be held accountable. Rest in Peace Preston

I have lived in AZ for over 35 years what I noticed from where I came from the police here are very lazy. Most crimes they don't even bother investigating like auto theft, or even home burglaries. Perfect example is neighbor home was robbed of 50k dollars in gold and jewelry the police would not even take finger prints. They just wanted to give him a report for his insurance. Few months ago I saw someone attempting to break into my car. I called police they never showed up about an hour went by. I went driving around looking for these guys found them in another neighborhood breaking into cars I called police back again was told the first call was never responded too was asked if they could cancel both calls. I told them no I want an officer out here this all happened at 4AM. Two officers showed up about 11am in the morning I showed them the video I had from my security system. I realized were on our own here police are not going to respond.

Parents used to be held responsible for crimes committed by their kids.

Who’s home did this happen at? Parents should be charged.

I WAS NOT EXPECTING THAT SHINY HEAD ON THAT WOMAN

My ex girlfriend moved to Gilbert Arizona and her brother was murdered by a family during a party the night before Thanksgiving 2007.

My deepest sympathies to your family. I can't imagine your grief.

The police allowed this to continue until public outrage exceeded their ability to ignore it. Useless again.

What is wrong with young people?

Why are not the parents also held responsible? You HAVE to know your kid is involved in all of these horrific beating!!

And people wonder why some kids bring guns to school.

This is why we U.S. citizens fight for our Second Amendment rights. Legally carry.

Stuff like this is why I moved to Romania in 2000 and have never looked back.

Finally justice. Shameful it took so long to get these losers off the street.

Gilbert goonz have officially changed their name to the soapdropper sewing circle.

Tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye!

Side note: if you graduated high school and are still hanging out in the same place as high school kids, you need to re-evaluate your life a bit.

What's wrong with those kids? My God they're so brutal.

I pray that all of them will be held accountable and punished to the full extent of the law. Prayers for the Victims family.

Lack of parenting, lack of character is the core of this problem!

Gilbert Police "investigators" & Chief should be charged with negligent homicide… not just fired. Despicable incompetence & failure to "protect & serve".

Life in prison for these punks

“ Affluent teens “that’s why they’re not in jail already…

They had to wait till somebody died to get these thugs behind bars for assaulting people??

Arizona: It's like Florida except it's a dry crazy.
