Teenager is suspected of taking the life of a classmate, but his parents don't want to believe it 

Exactly he has to have some doubt in his mind, otherwise why not turn it in to get tested and disprove it was the murder weapon if he's so sure

😅😅

Because they unfortunately don’t understand, randomness doesn’t exist!

Why is it a bad idea?

@@zero1188 because he can't turn it in to rule out his kid or prove his kid actually was the murdered, plus if by happenstance they do find it it will look guilty and suspicious dumping it

That is what I liked about the movie. You question everything.

That's good.

You are a true detective...

In the book however, it was definitely Jacob.

Maaan what a nice comment. I still have my doubts.

@@Horopter In the book it wasn't stated that Jacob did it. The author left it open for readers to figure out. I agree that he probably witnessed the murder from start to finish and in his sick mind, Ben deserved what he got. Fully innocent? Probably not, but he let Ben die by someone else, and didn't help.

FACTS ...lk I said sometimes it's the parents fault

😂 yeah, sure 😂

Missing knife that he carried everywhere conveniently disappearing, how he wrote the story 3days after allegedly killing him

Think? Murica loves to be spoonfed

His story was his confession.

Good point Jarockstar, more info before jaguilty!

But the plot!

Yeah that doesn't mean she could have changed and changed back into better ones

same question. Probably in the future, all movies will be in this format.

Too compelling eh

I believe Derek saw Jacob coming out the woods and thought he did it cause he followed him and saw Ben’s body. In the process of discovering the body he took the phone in hopes of making Sarah happy. I believe Jacob and Derek discovered the body on the their own but just didn’t say/do anything.

@@jbaby6331😊

@@jbaby6331 derek gave sarah the phone 2 days before ben's demise. sarah said this

​@@jbaby6331exactly my thoughts bro

Derek did it because he had Ben's phone. He knew Ben often bullied Jacob and Jacob had a romantic interest in Sara, which irked Derek.

But this doesn't explain the photos of Ben Patz had...also why was he so happy seeing Jacob being seen as the prime suspect...Also while deleting the photos of Ben, Patz was sad...Rang a bell? ​@@IamJustAli

He could be a devoted cop, husband, and father all day

tony stank

😂😂😂 bruh you funny ​@@VenEm

True

Are you an idiot not all psychopaths are killers

You need to relax. Breathe. It’s just a movie. None of this actually happened.

​@@MashaRistovaIt actually does happen.

@@MashaRistova discussing the movie is part of watching movies, or discussing your own thought process and observations are banned ?

A truly caring father would want to keep his child from killing again and hand in the knife. The father was protecting himself and his career.

​@@MashaRistovayou wish all this wouldn't happen... But there are far far worse cases happening

I beleive it's a TV show. It's called Defending Jacob

A lot of mothers know absolutely nothing about their kids especially when they have the " mothers always knows " mentality. Some mothers only see their children as accessories and couldn't care less about how their kid feels

@@damiondunn4663So if I a mother doesnt want to see her kid is a murder makes her a bad mother lol 😂. You know must mothers don't want to see any bad in their children, right ?

@@thewrongshoes your comment is pure nonsense maybe put the bottle down and type again

😂😂😂

Cap's got bigger problems... like having J. Jonah Jameson as a father _(he's a menace!)_

''macho society'', our society is anything but macho.

Agreed. And everyone's reaction to anything is not a "one size fits all" It annoys me when a detective in any show or documentary re-enactment says "we know someone else was driving the car because the seat was pushed back" I am a short person who has to sit up close to drive but anytime I am parked or waiting in the car I immediately push the seat all the way back to relax. I don't put the seat back until I get back in the car. Also, when they say "he/she knew the attacker because there was no forced entry" that's another assumption that may or may not be correct. Years ago I was walking home, as I crossed the street there was a man walking down the sidewalk in front of me on a north to south direction caddy corner from me. He wasn't looking at me and did not feel like a threat in the middle of the day. I crossed in front of him about a hundred feet in distance in an East to west direction headed to my apt's side door. I opened the door and went in. He must have moved quickly because he closed the gap pretty fast, opening my door and coming in my apt right behind me. I just stood there staring at him in shock. Then my 3 Kids 4, 10, and 12 years old, my adult babysitter and her boyfriend entered the room all staring at him too. He left. Since then I lock my door behind me (I try 100%) every time, even in the daytime. I know other people do not typically do this, because of how annoyed they are, that I do.So that too, is a maybe they knew the attacker maybe they didn't situation, not a concrete clue. And- I always freeze when being accused by harsh words and I am unable to speak while it's happening. I don't like confrontation so I don't respond until later when no one is yelling anymore. This is often seen as "you didn't have anything to say to defend yourself, so whatever you're trying to say now is a lie" once again as harsh accusation renders me speechless, I have plenty to say, but no one will listen later. No matter how many times I replay what I should've said in my head, I didn't speak up when it mattered. Finally, the video game violence is a seriously bad influence on our youth. I learned by the time I was in School, that cartoon violence was supposed to "not be taken seriously, because irl, people get hurt, so we don't act like that" it's supposed to be funny. Toys do not come alive at night, and only birds can fly. We are taught that until it makes sense to us as we mature. That takes time. Considering the "one size fits all" conclusions are not true, where the guilt lies here is anyone's guess bcuz it is a movie. But I'm gonna agree with you, the story he wrote, the picture posted, and the fact he continued his social media is highly suspect. Really? Are you confident your dad can get you out of this trouble, self sabotaging, or just stupid!?! IRL, these things cause police to zero their focus onto who they "like" for it, and stop looking at the derek and patz of the situation- who could also be guilty for just as many reasons.

@Jetsfan Absolutely agree with you there! To me, in not doing that, it almost let's all three of the suspects off the hook since everything could be deemed circumstantial at that point. As an audience trying to keep up with all the clues and breadcrumbs they toss us, to not even leave the bag which previously held said crumbs at SOMEBODY'S doorstep, is beyond frustrating! I don't want to just guess and/or speculate--that's rediculously pointless if I'm not given a reliable seed of fault from the dang writers themselves. Because only THEY know who the true killer/killers was! Ugh 🤨😒🤫

It was the evidence and the fact that he was unable to have empathy. Once the Dr told the parents, they doubted he was being honest.
