Teenage Killers: The Death of Michael Moss | True Crime Story | Real Stories 

So, because you are under 18 years of age, and even thought at 16 you very well know right from wrong, they get 9 & 10 years? That is a travesty and slap in the face of the boy they murdered and his family. Shame on you!

I cannot even process this mother’s level of grief.

Once a "child" kills, it's hard to see them as children 😔.

I can't imagine, as a mother myself, having to hear such terrible brutal details of what happened to my child. My heart truly goes out to you!

This is one of the most horrific stories I have come across. What makes more horrifying element of the story are the ages of the perpetrators. I am with the mom; the sentences was too light.

I agree with the mom. “You can’t rehabilitate evil”.

I’ve listened to your tragic story Michael and have been graced with your face and acknowledge your existence. I am so horrified of how you left this world. This is all that I can do. May you never be forgotten.

A snake can shed its skin but at the end of the day it’s still a snake. You can’t rehabilitate evil. The mother is absolutely correct

This poor woman, lost her husband tragically and her son horrifically. These were monstors regardless of their young ages. She deserved justice and the system failed her. This broken system is more commited in investing in the protection of the perpetrators, in this case, Michael Moss and his devastating and loving mother. SHAMEFUL!

This mothers grief is palpable. It’s so heartbreaking to watch her. When she said she “will get peace when she’s with him”, it tore me to pieces. God Bless her heart.

The punishment hardly ever fits the crime in these documentaries. Those boys deserved life sentences. Is that even a thing in the UK??

Man what a sad story... Poor lady I hope she finds inner peace someday.

I feel so bad for the mother, no parent should have to bury their child in circumstances like this.

I strongly believe in rehabilitation, but I believe there's some acts that a human being can't come back from. It's not even that I believe they don't deserve rehabilitation, I think it's not about that at all, it's about the fact that if these people get out, others will be in danger. Because you can't do something like this, torture someone so violently, without having a serious disconnect in your brain when it comes to other humans beings. You know how it's said that physically our teeth are strong enough to bite through a finger as easily as a carrot, but there's something in your brain that stops you from doing that? like even if you really tried, you couldn't do it because your brain doesn't let you. And I think a normal, healthy brain doesn't let you do something like this to a human being. Normal people aren't even capable of doing something like this to a human. I think if you're capable of doing that, it's impossible to say with certainty that there's no danger anymore for others should they ever be released. No matter how much therapy happens. And that's why I think they should be held for their entire lives, not because after the pain they caused, they don't deserve rehabilitation, but rather because rehabilitation isn't possible.

This is so tragic 😢😢😢, so heart breaking for Michael’s life, his mother and family. I also feel for the poor girl that was the “reason” for Michael’s death. She’s got absolutely nothing to do with this horror, but knowing that Michael got killed by her demented ex-boyfriend because he was jealous of her relationship with Michael must be a horror in it’s self.

That poor Mother, as a Mother, can’t imagine her loss. Sending hugs from the US to you.

That poor mother.. my heart goes out to her

Sorry 16 is not children..they are young adults, so many young people have children at 15 and manage to raise them to adulthood without ever abusing them ..I agree you can't rehabilitate EVIL

The only one who received a life sentence was Michael's mother, who is imprisoned by her grief for the remainder of her life. This is very sad...

The care home should’ve had more strict rules about the comings/goings of the students living there. A 15-year old going out at 1AM is up to no good. 😭. RIP Michael & GOD bless Michael’s mom & family 💔

When the mother said... "I can't wait to be with him (Michael).... I'll be at peace when I'm with him. That's when I'll get peace. But I hope he's at peace with his dad." 😢💔

This is such a heartbreaking story. I feel so bad for Michaels mom, this lovely lady had to go through so much.

I watched a lot of violent movies when I was under 15, and I never attacked anyone ... people always want to blame movies/video games/music, but people are just awful and that’s just the bottom line.

I can't believe that they let these boys out of jail after such a short time. Certainly this is one of the worst types of murder imaginable! Yet - we have to not let our hatred destroy us.

My heart goes out to Michael’s family and loved ones. Such a heinous and senseless murder. I can’t believe that these boys got such short sentences for the brutal murder of Michael. May he rest in peace. 💗

As a Mother I don’t think I could go to a parole hearing and not show my anger Don’t feel guilty Michea would be proud It won’t be long before they will be behind bars again! RIP Micheal 🙏

It’s so sad that sentences are really about giving murderers another opportunity at life when doing the worst things imaginable. They had that poor woman up there crying about her beaten to death son and they let them out anyway. What a smack in the face!

I cannot imagine the pain that boy went through

Pupil referral units have been effective in supporting vulnerable young people removed from the main stream where their challenging behaviour can no longer be met. In my professional career, I have been inside these PRUs and impressed by the overwhelming positivity of the staff members to effect change in the lives of extremely vulnerable pupils. From the accounts in this documentary, Michael was at last thriving and had built his self esteem to a level where he could have a personal relationship. Michael's mum, the care home, the PRU, Michael's girlfriend or indeed Michael himself are not in anyway at fault for the terrible circumstances that conspired to cut Michael's life so horrifically short. May He Rest In Peace.

I went out to work, too, at 15 - cleaning house for wealthy women on the weekends. Good god, I feel for Liz - all she's gone through. ❤️❤️❤️

I see the mother, and the heartbreak is right there. I want to just reach thru the screen and hug her and bring back her child. We have a death penalty for a reason.

I will never be able to understand how any person could kill an innocent person, especially in such a gruesome way. still, I believe the third boy, the one who confessed, probably isn't an evil killer. It is horrible, what he did, obviously he should've alerted the emercency services but imagine how scared he must have been. These guys he was standing next to had beaten Michael unconscious. If he had try to run, they might have caught up to him and done the same to him. I'm not saying he didn't do anything wrong but I don't think he should be considered pure evil.

As soon as I heard « they took penalties with his head, they lined up » I’m out. Wishing all the best, and sending love to the victims family, who never had the option I’m now exercising. Lord have mercy.

I can't imagine what this mother is feeling. Life shouldn't be like this. I wouldn't even know how to go on.

Mixing up special needs with aggressive students seems, like a time bomb, I hope that someone has done something to keeping violent kids away from kids that have mental problems. My prayers to the mother and the child in heaven.

As a mom of a 15 year old boy I'm not sure I can watch this video... I stopped at 4 minutes, I'm already crying 😢 💔

I’ve been saying this for years know some teens are completely the most dangerous people in this world, they weren’t tough love , respect or shown it , witch led them to have no conscience No remorse , when ask why they killed , they mostly say “ I just wanted to see how it felt “ with,not a feeling be hind it, we are seeing more and more teens becoming evil !

That poor mom, lost not only her husband but now her baby boy..prayers for her 💔🙏❤️

Ten years???? Are you freaking kidding me?? OMG! It's like Michael was killed again!!! Peace and positive vibes to Liz!! I hope she and his brothers can find peace and love... I'm devastated 😭💔

I'm truly so very sorry for her loss. This was heartbreaking to watch. I have three sons and I can't even imagine that pain of losing one in such a traumatic way. Those vile boys may be out of prison but I hope the guilt from what they've done to another human being eats them alive. To do something so heinous to someone, they can't possibly be rehabilitated. It's impossible. They have too much evil inside of them, no soul. Their day will come when they have to answer for what they've done. I pray Michael's mother can find some sort of peace in that.

10 years, “that’s all they could give them” is the most ridiculous sentence I’ve ever heard. Absolutely disgusting.

Awwww my heart is broken for the mother. This world is so cruel. What they did to that young man was uncalled for

For any of them to even think of trying to appeal their sentence(s) is unnerving and shameful on their behalf!

I believe that the main problem was admitting Bentley + McEefry into the same unit. They were bullies together before admission to the specialized unit + I feel that each, on their own, would be bad enough but together they would be competing as to which one could outdo the other as far as committing the worst behavior. They should have been separated + sent to different institutions. Such a very upsetting case! I also don't agree with the light sentences. The behavior of the 3 youths, they are not "boys", was so horrific that I believe that instead of the judge should have sent each separately to an institution focused on rehabilitation. Also the one boy Neely in confessing the crime to his mom immediately after, confessing to police,+ showing remorse should have been considered by the judge. I don't believe he was as involved in the crime but found himself there. The judge should consider the actions of each youth separately in sentencing.

Something seems very wrong with the justice system in the uk. 10 years for an horrific murder . Unbelievable !

Poor kid. :( those boys that did that to him need to suffer tremendously!

I get that the school isnt a prison BUT if they're legally responsible for the kids, how on earth are they unable to enforce rules/curfews for a 15yr old in their care?!

....those "children" should never ever be released into the public again!

That boy should be watched very carefully. I can’t see any of them becoming good members of society. I see a serial killer in the works. That poor mother.

I used to watch a lot of violent movies, horror films and suspense when I was a kid. I never tried to kill anyone. Life is precious.

That parole board is a disgrace. I wonder if they would make the same decisions if it was their child who was murdered in such a way........

This is simply horrible.

I am sorry for what happened to that poor child. My heart goes out to his mom. Requiescat in Pace Michael.

That's because you aren't an evil person detective! You wouldn't understand jumping on the head or playing knots and crosses or any other disrespect for the dead young man. Bless his heart ❤️🙏

Bless Michael's mom. I hope she'll find peace with the loss of her son someday. Gods help her. She's absolutely right when she said you can't rehabilitate evil. Those boys need to stay in jail permanently. The fact that these boys are out now turns my stomach. I hope beyond hope that one day they're put back into jail without another life, another family being destroyed.

The ad for Reservoir Dogs rental next to this video is in poor taste.

Thank you for this great documentary! More and more teen are becoming feeling less , really don’t care about nothing not even them selfs , you have too see the parenting in most cases , and mental illness, now there starting to look at the parents,it’s about time .

murder is murder no matter what, but the way that they took that boys life, and the things they did with his body definitely constitutes heavier punishment. Like. Extremely heavy.

Our law system is so so disgusting. What kind of monsters were in that parole board? Our law seems to actually delight in further hurting the victims and their families.

Liz You are so brave. My heart breaks for your Michael and you. Thank you for sharing your story. Ten years isn't fair. You showed true grace in sharing your story and being a pioneer in the criminal injustice system. I send you the biggest hug from afar.

So sorry for these parents. I can't imagine what they have been through. Such a beautiful Brite looking boy, just heartbreaking. The justice system needs to change everywhere. JMO

Of course people can be influenced by things they see on TV or movies. If not we wouldn’t have advertisements.

ahh... what a proper example of "When human rights of the people who act inhumane is more important than the right to live of the victim" :V

Your system over there is horrible

I just want to hug Momma…. My heart is in pieces for her.

This is horrific. Prayers for all who loved him.

I don't get why the workers let him out after 1 am. Maybe not a prison but they stand in place of parent. As parent I would not say go ahead meet up with your friends after 1 am.

I always said how innocent are kids really without adult supervisor??

Only ten years, seriously. They have no remorse. They should be locked up forever. This is a sadistic, evil murder. It goes way beyond the devil.

I could never, ever bare to hear these details about my son. Living with that day after day. It would be a quick peace out for me.

The saddest part is the one "expert" who does nothing but try to provide excuses for their repugnant behaviour. Should have drawn and quartered those little monsters. You don't rehabilitate Rabid animals or even just Animals that kill humans ... why do we keep wasting resources to keep literal monstrous animals alive and well fed?!?

10 year sentence for such an horrific pre meditated crime. & l thought the Australian justice system was a joke. How sad for everyone, society included.

He's wrong, you can't imagine. You think you can, but it's not even close. I hope you never will know. I've lost my son too, but not in this horrible way. My heart aches for Michael's mother.

I clicked on this heartbreaking documentary only to see an advertisement to rent the movie Reservoir Dogs. 😳 Not cool, RU-vid. 😕

That poor poor woman. A mother’s worst nightmare. 💔

Those "children" are the seed of Cain. If it were my child I'd probably hunt them down one by one. This story is so horrific

A complete joke of "justice". They should not be allowed to see the light of day.

I have so many questions first and foremost to the facility: when these two boys were sent their they would have received the school records to justify the placement, so WHY weren't these boys separated on different units or something knowing their potential to feed off each other to bully to the point of violence. There must be some accountability by the facility and changes made so this scenario never repeats itself.

This is great👍🏻 thanks

I hope they are in jail and they must stay there for many many years. I can't imagine the pain for this mother, I feel sick only to hear the details of this brutal crime. So sorry for the victims' family 😢

You so cannot fix the kids you are right.

That poor, poor mother Liz. My heart goes out to her more than anything. I hope she has or is able to find peace in her life. Rest in peace to her son.

The devils becoming younger and younger. So sad and i feel terrible of Michael and his mother

10 years only 😨😢 ...no way

They always manage to bring in the fact that these killers watch violent movies...If you are capable of something so horrific you already have some deep seeded issues

What kind of "children's home" allows 15-year-old troubled children to casually wander out the door at 1 o'clock in the morning? These buffoons really didn't see a problem with this? Well, hopefully they do now. Pretty sad a child's life had to be lost to learn such an obvious lesson, though.

Oh my gosh so heartbreaking, what kind of justice is that disgusting, laws need to be changed asp teenage murder is on the increase , parents should be held responsible too those kids should have been tried as adults! An over tolerant society is not a civilised society.

How horrible what Michael went through & his poor mother & family. I hope these killers never see the light of day. Rest In Peace Michael 👼

The Mum's quote that you can't rehabilitate evil is spot on - i do believe people particularly under-18s are capable of evolving and changing so when its a crime of passion etc thats one thing but the remorseless psychopathy thats required to do what they did IS EVIL and as she said can NOT be rehabilitated

I agree with the mother. There are some people too evil to be helped. And they don’t deserve the effort.

I usually can handle investigation shows and I have to say this is probably the first time that I can’t finish watching this because I’m so disgusted

This is so brutal!!!! Dead penalty for the criminals. No mercy!!! 🤬 wow! So now the criminals are on the run and living happily. What a vindiction from the judge.😡

An eye for an eye.

In my opinion the so called school that these children were attending has a lot to answer for. Parents trusted them with their children. Allowing children with behavioral problems, no borders was asking for trouble. Allowing a child out at night is senseless.

I think Liz should of been able to speak directly to the murderer.

That poor boy and mother. Those monsters deserved longer in prison

unfathomable! harrowing.. aaaah that poor lad. my heart hurts for that lovely mother. the poor soul that discovered the lads body. the school representative that had to identify the lad. i can not even imagine walking a mile in their shoes.🥺🥺😞 i’m torn up after hearing this story. i’m perplexed over the sentencing too. 👎🏻👎🏻 ✌🏻🇦🇺

Maybe it’s not a sentence handed out anymore but I remember hearing about prisoners serving “at her Majesty’s pleasure”- basically indefinitely- here in Australia. If I were Queen it would please me for these young people to never know freedom again.

I cannot believe these boys got out of prison. That is absolutely ridiculous.

'You cannot rehabilitate evil.' I agree wholeheartedly. There are two core personalities that motivate people. 1. Hunger for Power, oppression and putting down of others. These are bullies. 2. Love, and lifting others up, sacrificing for others. I believe these motives are carved out early in life. Every thing they do, is motivated by one or the other. Disabilities and mistakes can cause good hearted people to hurt other people, but they never want to hurt anyone. And they want to make it right if they do.
