In today's true crime documentary, we're covering the case of Thomas Ferguson and analyzing it from an educational psychological and legal perspective.
You know my father was put in prison for 15 years for running a con where he'd spray fruit trees for bugs, but he'd use water and food coloring instead of pesticide. I'm talking about small orchards. This was in the 90s. He was convicted a month after I was born. He got paroled when I was 13, but he had a traumatic brain injury from fighting in prison that deteriorated, and he passed when I was 19 a sophomore at Texas Tech. This guy was given probation after probation for violent crimes until a kid wound up dead, my father never committed a violent crime, he came up with a dumb con to make a quick buck for his extremely poor family and prison killed him I got 6 years with him.
The system is so rigged and it’s absolutely heartbreaking. I’m absolutely sorry for you and your family. His love for his family lead him to do what he did. It’s not fair what happened to him, and I at least hope in those 6 years you had with him, you had some good moments to remember him by ❤
I feel for you bro, I’m from the Uk. And have watched enough crime docs and seen how the U.S. Penal System works. It is crazy. I feel for you and your family because your dad, certainly can’t have been expecting such a harsh punishment , either. Apparently the U.S. take their agriculture very seriously, so if he thought he could make a few extra bucks to feed the family but the actual offence is really frowned upon and your getting 15 years in the pen for that. Sheeesh… Seriously in the Uk, he might get banned for from working in the industry and suspended sentence or a fine would be the likely outcome. I’ve also been to prison. And we can thank god for small mercies, I think. I listened to a podcast last night about a book called fish. A young kid from the suburbs. Green as they come in prison terms. This guy T.J. Pursell. Is the author, similar background to me. But this guy in the us jail was gaslight by experienced older convicts. Super friendly, plied him with drink, then turned on him and took turns r@ping him and they flipped a coin for who hee belongs to now. White guy from the suburbs in jail in 78, first timer ⏱️ . This kid was being super naive admittedly. My point being. The prison system in the Uk, is so much more civilised, I was in prison with quite a famous old con in the early 90’s a reasonably well known hard man ex boxer ( lol) Hands like shovels ( total narcissist) anyway it was said to me. Never to go in the shower when Paul Sykes was in. Coz he would k.o. You and have his way with you. Now I mentioned this story on a RU-vid documentary about Paul Sykes ( ironically his dad was a prison officer, too) This Ex con was giving me pelters saying there’s no such thing as jail bent. If your doing long enough, I bet there is. Going back to my point. The u.s. is so vast. It’s just so hard to not run like meat packing factories. I mean the transportation from jail to jails sounds like the 7 th circle of hell. God bless you and father. I hope this makes sense, because I haven’t fully edited it yet.
If he went through so much effort actually spraying trees, why not get actual pesticides.. sad he got so many years though and had that injury. Wasn't deserved. He should have been slapped with a fine, not prison.
I went to school with Jeremiah, we would sit next together in science class and would hangout a lot at school, I remember one day he moved schools and I never saw him again, next year 8th grade we had some counselors come into the classrooms, explaining our previous classmate had passed away. I still have his account following me on Instagram. I'm 19 now and it's so heartbreaking looking back and seeing what happened to him. He was such a sweet person and had the funniest things to say, he was a good friend and I would love to see where he would be today. Rest in Peace Jeremiah, everyone still thinks about you and misses you more and more everyday.
This is so sad! Thanks for talking about him, it's nice when the victims get attention especially sweet ones like him, sorry for you losing your friend 😔
Bless you for keeping his memory alive and commenting. I can’t fathom how anyone could hurt a child much less kill one. I will never understand. Rest In Peace Brave Boy.
A judge went against recommendations and let a violent career criminal stay on probation, which directly resulted in him reoffending and taking innocent life. And yet the judge responsible for making that horrible decision faces no consequences despite the blood on their hands. Our system is sickening
How is it that the law can break the law with entrapment, lying about the facts 😮, to convict innocent people???? I thought those tactics were against policy. LYING and ENTRAPMENT are ALWAYS the TACTICS the UPHOLDERS of their system DO!!!!
@@andregracio6882 yeah you should probably train your brain a little because you’re coming off as mentally challenged. Where did you get the idea that I agree with the judge? I can disagree with the judge’s decision here while still thinking it’s horrible precedent to set that judges can face consequences because they let someone go that later committed a more heinous crime. This only will push judges to give EVERYONE the maximum sentence, even in cases where it isn’t deserved. They’d do this bc on the off chance that person is a lunatic, they could lose their job for showing leniency. There’s a ton more reasons that this is awful precedent to set for future court proceedings but I’m not gonna make this a whole essay. Just know I can disagree with the judge and this guy at the same time. I can even disagree with the judge, this guy, and you at the same time because we can have 4 different perspectives. Crazy right?
Just take a moment to consider that Jeremiah is receiving more love and compassion from the strangers in a RU-vid comment section then he did from his own mother.
It's so sad nobody came to the Jeremiahs rescue from this horrible family. I grew up in a very abusive household. I was finally rescued at 7 after a near death beating. School kept asking me why i can't sit down and things went downhill from there. I was rushed to the hospital and stayed for a week. Then foster care till i was 16. I'm still to this day terrified of my dad. As an adult I've seen him twice, and he acted like he didn't even recognize me. Why can I remember him, but he didn't acknowledge me. Walked right past me. He has a whole new family and new life. Idk now that I'm older I have been so interested in the abuse cases. Some of the videos being back memories I had forgotten about. Sometimes, I feel like I need to talk about it and release these emotions. I guess I'm doing that now. I struggle, but surprisingly I walk around everyday with a big ol smile thanking God for another day.
That's because you're a strong beautiful woman! 👏 🙏 🙌 we need start helping children in some way shape or form. Volunteer, something. I'll be doing some research for sure. Stay strong mama, you are NOT alone.
Glad you are doing well and survived your previous "family." You know exactly why your "father" doesn't recognize you. He is ashamed and in denial at the least and is not bonded to you. I pray his current "family" is in a better situation. Stay safe. God bless.
I appreciate you guys @liMe-leMon and @soexpeewee. I will definitely look into some volunteer work. That's a very good suggestions. Your kind words made me smile.
@@brii.badazz Your such a strong woman & my heart & love go out to you for all the pain & trauma you went through. Your a survivor & an amazing woman to be able to share some of your sad story with us. Thank you 🙏💕
@@brii.badazz I hope you are having a great day/evening first and foremost. I think we need more awareness anytime a child is involved and anything you can do even if it's just a friendly smile or maybe a hug might just be what makes their day better is absolutely worth it. I turn 45 today and my mother has been difficult throughout my life and has made some horrible decisions and life choices, but I think it's gotten worse. Over more than a year now my mother abuses me every chance she gets basically, such as telling me I'm always wrong, I am the problem, that I don't care.... All while I struggle to survive as my life, my dogs, and my home that my dad left me are being threatened on a constant basis since my landlord (a neighbor offered to help keep my house getting taken for property taxes) forced me to have his violent employee that can't go 24 hours without going through withdrawal if he doesn't have his meth. Not just humiliating and belittling me, actively supports those 2 and constantly we have yelling matches where I'm just standing up for myself and she refuses to even listen to me. Me and my 5 dogs are in a bedroom with a metal gate in front of the door in MY house and he's still tried to attack me out of the blue for whatever reason he decides is relevant. Police don't help, they blamed me last time I callled for wasting resources. Of course the landlord and roommate were there so I couldn't explain anything or show video or audio recordings I've had to keep since this all started and he tried to attack me before even entering my house. Landlord refuses to do anything other than actively do whatever I don't want just to put more pressure on me. I had to start putting videos on FB and here on RU-vid as well. I can't type anymore. Hope you have a wonderful day young lady... And everyone else too! Smile! - it makes people wonder what you're up to. 🍻🌎❤️🌮🎶
Seeing Jeremiah’s unanswered texts to his mom was heartbreaking. That poor boy just wanted his mother to love him, he wanted her to care about him, he wanted to not have to doubt it anymore. He worried about her and wanted to know she was ok, and she couldn’t give him any of that. I see my kids every single day, and I can’t imagine ever seeing a text from them and just ignoring it, especially one saying “I love you.” This woman disastrously failed on so many levels, worst of all was the man she kept around. I just don’t understand some things.
Jeremiah was an especially introspective kid. He knew he was in a bad situation, including his own drug use, and was looking for ways out. He probably could have overcome his beginnings if he had been allowed to live. That's probably another reason why they killed him -- not only was he a threat to the (gag) "alpha," he was showing them up by showing signs of sanity and responsibility.
Male children are always bothering their moms and female caregivers and trying to stop them from living an independent life. It's like an instinct they have to hold strong women back even at such a young age. Very sad.
My mom randomally texts me I love you and if I don't respond I feel bad. I'm 36 I could only imagine if I was a kid and texted my mom and she didn't respond
My mother went to prison for running an insurance scam, not for violently abusing, neglecting, starving, kidnapping, and imprisoning her children. There were multiple reports, arrests, and restraining orders, photographs taken of our marks and bruises, attempts by my dad and grandma to get custody of us, they didn’t care. But how dare she steal money from a few rich people. I hate the injustice system here. Child abusers and domestic abusers are ignored and covered up here because no one wants to believe the abused children and partners.
@@Charles-oo8bq [the gods] "denied that wishes were horses, they denied that pigs had wings. So we followed the gods of the marketplace, who promised such beautiful things."
Obviously, violent crimes are worse, but if you're so childish that you think you're "stealing money from rich people" by scamming, you need to learn something. Scams like that only affect middle class and lower, someone's getting fired, and it's not the boss. That's how these rich people stay rich. They make it impossible to get to their money. They use middle class and lower workers as the fall guys. Nobody who's actually rich would put their money in a position where random women can easily steal it. That's not their money. Your mom was stealing, that was money those rich people were using, it's not theirs, their money is on a different continent. What your mom was stealing was the chump change these people use to placate normal families. Do you also believe that when a millionaire declares bankruptcy that they have no more money? Because this is the same level of childishness. Your mom did a shitty thing that does deserve jail time. If more people were like her society collapses.
That's true and many who have done wrong and gone to prison feel it deeply against their soul and continue to grow. Others who have psychopath need to be found out, because their souls seem irreparable.
@@johnanthony9923did you even watch it? Because that’s not what happened. In the phone call she asked her sister to contact detectives, the sister did so and then detectives listened to the call and interviewed her. She didn’t want to protect the woman, she just didn’t want to be a snitch. Being a snitch in jail will get you severely beaten.
I was agreeing with the inmates sister the entire conversation. Her sister seems to be truly kind heart while being seriously straight forward. She loves her sister abundantly.
@@shallawnmarshall320 I loved how direct and no nonsense, facts sister she was. The contrasts of personality types and behaviours in this story was wild.
Too bad the scumbag took the cowards way out. I would rather see it done in a gas chamber or whatever method they use. And of course the woman gets less time than the other dumb ass.
There are literally millions of drug addicts who are not murderers . There are millions of abuse victims who do not abuse people. People only do what they want to do
Things become much more likely in certain situations, and it’s negligent to ignore it. Not all alcoholics beat their wives but most domestic violence cases involve a drunk man
One person's testimony doesn't erase years and years of statistics on abuse victims. Congrats for not being a statistic but it happens often. People need to stop assuming facts are blaming victims.
That poor poor child. When that sorry excuse of a mother was talking about how tough he was, I broke down. He was a baby and never should’ve had to be strong. And on top of it, he was still telling his mom that he loved her after all of that. That poor boy was failed by everyone around him. May he rest easy now. Such a heartbreaking case.
That part hit home because my mother used me as a sacrifice so my fathers beatings would land on me instead of her. Karma took revenge for me, they deserved everything they got
@@hellhound1389 I’m so sorry that happened to you. All children deserve to be protected and those who fail to do that deserve every bad thing that comes to them. I hope you’re happy and healing now
It kills me when mothers and fathers wont even let their little boys go through a crying stage. Like theyll be barely able to walk and run into something and its nothing but your ok, meanwhile if it was a daughter theyd run to em and fawn over em for half an hour. Alot of parents expect the emotionlessness of a man from a boy as soon as he is old enough to cry. THIS story makes me so angry and BOTH his parents are so evil and still he smiled for pictures. I hope hell exists thats all I know.
Man. Something about reading those texts from jeremiah really got me.. between him asking his mom if shes mad at him because she didnt come pick him up.. to the little guy saying his mom quit on him and he doesnt know what to do.. that poor kid. All he wanted was some love. Shame on his parents for failing him like that. Lifes tough enough as it is.
Well I only see a criminal using a loophole to get away with her crime by "doing the right thing"... come on get off the gas. I def think the crime is horrible but once you get into ohh these are good criminals well I don't see it so grey. My son said he wanted to go into law enforcement... I said this... Unless your plan is to never violate anyone's civil rights and that you never ever do anything illegal or abusive of the powers.. You should never take a job that requires a huge amount of temptation unless you really want to serve and protect... don't.. but if you are serious and what I said is you mission I want you to know that makes me very proud... just know that crooked cops create other crooked cops so if you see that at all do not be a boyscout resign and locate a office that is integrity in words and deed... Because crooked cops are the worst of all since it is rampant and a problem but there is sheriffs and law enforcement who take the public trust serious and my biggest problems is that their is not very serious consequences to crooked cops... if you are not a cop do not got trying to act like one.
“My Mom just Quit on Me” Those are some of the Saddest Words I’ve Heard! To feel your Mom, the person who should Love You & Protect You, has Quit on you, absolutely Heart Breaking! That sad excuse of a mother, should serve just as much time as the Loser that took that Little Boy’s Life!
My heart breaks for Jeremiah. May that innocent child rest in peace. His parents are the worst monsters I’ve ever heard of. They did not deserve this kid.
Drugs are horrible, but she intentionally didnt stop the abuse cuz she might catch a charge..GROSS#@!@@!@. ..although i hear THE foSter system is a nightmare too. GET CLEAN STAY CLEAN AND MOVEAWAY FROM WHERE YOU ARE . GOING from clean right back into the sess pool you came out of and trying to stay clean is a challenge most fail at. As a mom I can say these bitches evil for not getting the help to stay clean. SELFISH!!
@@awkwardautistic There are always worse. But beating your kid until his theet fall out, urinating on him and torturing him for days is probally one of the worst deaths you can think of.
the inmate who told did the right thing, but it bothered me that she struggled with doing it. If I heard someone hurt a child, I’d tattle so fast my head would spin, even if it was my own mother. And the mother is just as evil as the stepdad for allowing him to hurt her child. Makes me so angry.
I firmly agree. I don't think the mom would have ever been brave enough to say anything without her telling that other inmates and then the sister talking sent into her. I think that that was all due to the sister being the one to talk some sense into her. I'm so glad it worked out that way though and I hope that the mom doesn't do a whole ton of time because yes, it is her fault too but not as much as that raging douchebag. He threatened them time and time again and I guess I might be scared as well but when you're sitting in prison, that would be the best time to say something and she could have. Edit- she's a disgusting monster too. Now knowing she was in on it too. Because like I said above though, why wouldn't you say anything when you're both locked up in prison? That's pretty telling right there
I have a three year old son. His mother and I arent together. Hes going through a phase where he cries whenever I leave, asking me to stay, and I can't. I would do anything for him. He looks up to me, tells me he loves me and gives me hugs. I would do anything to protect him, and hearing what these people did, fucking breaks my heart and makes me angry. Give me 5 minutes alone with them. Please.
Can we just talk about that sister?!?!?!?!?!? I was even taking some of the advice she said with being able to handle anything that comes her way. We allllll need to be a human like her! I hope she knows how amazing she is!!
It’s sickening that Tracy only received a 4 year prison sentence (not 12 years. She was sentenced to 21 years. The judge ordered 9 years be suspended. 2 years spent on parole and 5 probation. So she’s out now) Poor Jeremiah. RIP ❤
If any demon or psycho claims they live in an oppressive, society caused by men, just show them this video. Even if the state kept to their word about the 12 years, that still would've made me sick to my stomach. The double standard towards the worst of the worst is absolutely, vile.
Ugh... It infuriates me to hear that Thomas took the easy way out and that Jordan and Tracy got what basically amounts to a slap on the wrist for all the abuse that Jeremiah had to go through. I hope they get jumped in prison, daily.
Jordan was under his dads shoe.Depended on him for his life all his life and saw J eremiah s mom not protect her son. ETHically he felt he ll do the min harm to reasure his survival Where could he had learned that complying is punishable by law. It probably broke his heart everytime and was in a tough spot.overall we didnt hear enough abt his implication
I started tearing up when they read Jeremiah's unanswered texts to his mom. It wasnt the most horrific part of the story but it made everything feel so much more real. Just to think how alone and neglected that poor boy was. He still loved his mom no matter how horrible she was to him. Never bring your children around people who you know are violent/dangerous. When you do that you made a conscious decision to abuse your kids, whether you hit them yourself or not .
As a former foster Mom, I can confirm that children love their parents with a strong loyalty, no matter what unspeakable hell they've been through. Trauma bonding is real.
I watch a lot of true crime and feel for all the victims but every once in awhile a victim just really gets to me. He had the sweetest face, kindness and innocence. And those texts to his mom are heartbreaking. I'm sorry Jeremiah. You were too good for this world, you deserved so much better.
I am so sad knowing Jeremiah will never see a peaceful life free of the chains put on him. I can only hope heaven is real so he can enjoy a happy existence somehow despite all of this
Same. My daughter is 14 and I can't stop crying despite watching so many of these because I'm so paranoid of losing her it's like a strange compulsion to know what is out there and then the pain of knowing no matter what I know it just hurts for the victims and that I can't truly completely and unconditionally protect her from weirdos out there. However a mother who lets this happen is so, so sickening and infuriating
Tracy deserves the same sentence for letting this man beat her son, throw chemicals on her son and finally kill her son and she did nothing to protect he kid and no telling what he did to that little girl
She said he treated her very nicely so I'm gonna assume he touched her sexually and rewarded her for that by not abusing her physically but I could totally be off base
Being viewed as a "rat" in prison can literally get you killed. Women in prison can be more vicious in their street justice then men in prison, so I've been told by Corrections officers. Her courage to come forward is incredible. However being viewed as a baby killer in prison is much worse. I commend this woman for coming forward.
Are you defining viscious as "less viscious"? There's myriads of stats with large margins of separation to demonstrably show that's not the case lol I wish that was a true factoid but idk where you're finding this data.
This reminds me of the Gabriel Fernandez case. It’s crazy how similar they are. It’s disgusting these so called “mothers” pick men over their own kids. I hope they rot in hell. RIP Jeremiah, may you never be forgotten. 🙏🏼💛
What gets me is that he racked up pretty serious charges and still only got probation. That is a massive miscarriage of justice and i hope the judges that refused to revoke his probation feel the effects of their actions on this.
That kind of leniency with a repeat offender makes trying to escape very difficult, because you get him charged and convicted for abuse, and he gets probation.
It's new Mexico. People come here for our leniency. An old man from Alabama told me once it was a running saying "if ya wanna get away with murder do it in New Mexico" 🤷😥
I know it sounds weird because none of these cases are “enjoyable” to see of course, but as someone who is a lover of true crime, I cannot tell you how much I appreciate your teams dedication to your content. You have the most original cases in this genre and it’s truly appreciated when there’s usually the same few cases cycled through constantly. Every part of your content is top notch! Thank you for the amazing breakdowns and analysis.
This is one of the most heart shattering stories I've ever heard. My heart breaks for that baby. He deserved so much better. I will never understand people who hurt children. And that coward took the easy way out. Makes me sick. May Jeremiah's soul rest in peace. I hope his sister is with a good family and is being well cared for and loved.
Amen. I agree with every sentence of your post. I was hoping Thomas was being treated horribly in prison for being a child k1ller. Very upset to hear that he took the coward's way out. That's a hard thing for me to even say bc I just lost my own brother to su1cide a few weeks ago but it truly is a cowardly act.
I love how we have people serving life sentences for weed in this country, yet repeat violent offenders like this guy just keep getting probation and barely spend any time behind bars.
This woman is complete TRASH!!!! As a mother you'd think your first instinct is to protect your children at ALL, and ANY COST. My heartbreaks for Jeremiah.
Any decent parents instincts should be to protect their children at all cost. I have an almost 3 year old. I would give anything and everything to ensure he grows up knowing only a beautiful life filled with love and kindness. But alas I also know that I need to prepare him for the harsh reality of the real world as well
I'm a 50 year Grandma who loves crime documentaries . This was so heartbreaking. I cried so hard and actually needed to watch a Disney movie after this. Rest in peace Jermiah you are now where you need to be in heaven with God.
@@liMe-leMon I know , that makes me so sad.. Those poor babies in Ohio who got murdered executions dial by their father in the front yard in front of their mother like it was no big deal didn't even try to hide it. It's just breaks my heart. 🙏🙏🙏
I don’t usually cry when watching these videos, but when they showed Jeremiah’s face for the first time I shed some tears. He was too young to be dealing with this and had such a good life ahead of him. From the texts about smoking pot you could tell he wanted to be different from his mom and everyone around him. He wanted a better life for himself, and he deserved it. Rest in peace, little man.
I don’t necessarily think the world itself sucks; rather, it’s just humans that suck. If it wasn’t for humans, the world would be a great place. Just my opinion
I dont have children but listening to the torture that 14 year old child endured, broke my heart. I couldn't help but cry inside. Those text messages he sent his mom, and getting no reply, him opening up to his friends about it. Tragic beyond belief. I pray you are at peace Jeremiah. Where in this life you were let down by people that were supposed to care for you and love you, I pray you are comforted, loved and embraced by our Lord Jesus.
I don't want to make myself sound barbaric, I did cry when Tracy was crying at her son's burial site and I cried when the sister gave her account of what happened to her brother. But I do like how you take these stories and almost paint the subject as a victim and then give us a plot twist and rip it all way, like "Man I really felt for them feeling so trapped and come to find out she was in on it???!!" Mind blown!
You don’t sound barbaric, you sound like someone who is caring and empathetic. She’s obviously good at manipulating-it’s not your fault for believing her, it’s her fault for manipulating in the first place.
You shouldn't either judge a book by their cover or personalize a persons telling of an event. Empathy is one of the worst things to have as a judge or leader; it can and will cause you to overlook the obvious and make bad judgement calls. Empathy is only good in proper context. People don't seem to realize that virtue is not blanket actions or thoughts but the proper actions or thoughts for a given situation. It is also important to understand that seeing people as either victim or perpetrator is almost always a fools interpretation of a human being. For the majority of the time people are both sometimes simultaneously.
@@sad.jackfr00tThat is terrible advice. If you get manipulated you share in the blame. That's just the truth of the matter and empathy unchecked leads to many terrible things like enabling bad behaviors, poor judgement or the grooming of narcissism for those that are the recipient of said empathy.
The phone call at 1:02:37 told me everything I need to know about her. She was obsessed with that murderer of hers; the second part of that call proves it! She's laughing like a school girl with him, hoping he feels the same about her; hoping he gives af about her, which he most likely didn't. Jeremiah was targeted. He was the child in their family who was highly concentrated on, gangstalked, abused, and taken out of here. They say it's always that one child (usually the middle sibling) who's hated the most, which hurts me to even admit. These two filthball demonic mfs deserved each other, but didn't deserve Jeremiah! The only upside to this story is that he's no longer with them, and the baby boy's also no longer suffering. I do, however, hope the mother and Jordan suffer in prison and, when they finally meet their demise, rot in hell...just like that coward lover of hers. RIP, beautiful Miah! 💔
Sorry to break it to ya, but another commenter reported that the mother got out on reduced sentence based on some fucking plea deal. This country is so far from what it used to be, its nauseating.
@@hisaceinthehole3426 Just now seeing this! Well, she needs to be dealt with vigilante style! She put her son through hell, so she's not entitled to a life of rest and relaxation. I sincerely hope she gets hers!
I watched probably hundreds of these RU-vid videos, and never have I ever got mad and upset until this one. That poor boy, a needless and pointless murder. RIP, young man, may you be flying high where ever you are now.
"The Office of Medical Investigator also found that the boy’s jaw was broken in two places, to the point where a bone poked through Valencia's gums, likely as a result of a 'final beat-down' on November 25, the day the boy died, prosecutors said. Lacerations consistent with sexual assault were also discovered in the boy's autopsy, and portions of his body 'had possibly been burned.' 'A perfectly healthy 13-year-old boy could barely walk, couldn’t eat and needed a cane,' the District Attorney said, according to the Journal. 'Nuñez was watching his little brother hobbling around on a cane, bleeding on it, and did nothing.' Evidence of Valencia's blood was found in his room and throughout the family's home, but wasn't 'visible to the naked eye,' prosecutors said. The largest amount of blood was found in the fireplace in Ferguson's bedroom, where Valencia was confined behind a specially-made door." The daily mail. HE LIVED LITERAL HELL! RIP Jeremiah. 💔 you deserved a better life.
Like my mom used to say "they were all hit with the same rock". What a terrifying group of people if you want to call them that. I hope that the daughter is okay.
1:08:36 paused to read the coroner's report and it says his left eye was displaced from thr socket, tears were found in the scalp, left cheek and left ear. Also that he had on a diaper and several others were wrapped around his neck and head. That is where i lost it. Thinking of this sweet beautiful young boy crying in agony as he's tortured and mutilated is so heart wrenching. How can people be so evil? He suffered so much and its just so hard to fathom that Jordan nor his own mother helped him. I hope these monsters suffer for many many years.
Just curious… Did the report mean tears as in crying, or tears as in lacerations? I’m guessing lacerations. But I wouldn’t doubt the idea that he was crying. Poor child. 💔
This is a perfect example about how legal negligence can become deadly. The Thomas guy has displayed more than plenty of signs that showed his unwillingness to change. He was a danger to society and the judge should have locked him up for good. DV is a violent crime and should be treated as such. How many times does a woman or child have to die? Why doesn’t the justice system take domestics violence seriously. If someone is willing to harm their spouse or child, they’re willing to do a lot more. Despicable.
@@gray3508 absolutely, but the most likely to die from abuse are women and children. I am in no way trying to downplay abuse that men face at all though.
I don't understand why they're not harsher punishments for POS "career criminals" like this waste of space. So many opportunities to have him compete his sentences. That judge has blood on his hands too 😢 So sad. RIP Jeremiah. You deserved to live your life.
I mean if it’s nonviolent offenses, rehabilitation should be the goal. But when it escalates to violence or just starts out there… fuck ‘em. Throw away the key. They don’t get better with time and prison (not our prisons at least). How many times do we hear on the news a serial killer or a dude that murders a whole family had a lengthy criminal history of being violent, raping and kidnapping?
That poor baby, he felt so unloved by everyone in his family and he still would try to tell his mom that he loved her. In another lifetime he’ll be born into a loving family that he deserved in this lifetime. Rip Jeremiah
I was thinking the same and seeing it in writing broke me. All these poor children, Gabriel Fernandez, Anthony Avalos, Noah Cuatro and countless more, my heart hurts more than ever for these innocent souls. I cry and ache for the physical pain they had to go through but what really gets me right in the pit of my stomach and soul is how unloved and hopeless they must of felt. How I wish I could go back in time and save them and shower them with love and kindness. My only hope is their souls do come back in another life and they are treated with all the love and respect they deserve.
@kennethlandert8350 we all perceive and have different beliefs. And we believe it does work that way. So in your heart he'll not get to experience what love within a real family is like. In ours, a family who has been trying for months-maybe years, for a healthy beautiful baby boy, will recieve the ultimate blessing from A higher power, and they both will be a blessing to the world bc of their union. This "lord" in my experiences must be greedy, and not want folks to learn from his most gifted, most blessed creations. How are the younger generations suppose to learn?
This case is beyond frightening, after watching this I read up that Jeremiah had also been raped, had a sledgehammer dropped on his hands, multiple fractured ribs, had been severely burned, his jaw was broken in 2 places so much so that a peice of bone protruded through his gums, literally just imagine your absolute worst nightmare ever actually being your reality, at 14 years old! His mother and step brother were all complicit in his torture, completely sickening and unreal that this stuff can even exist!
@@antepa112oh goodness I was just about to ask who raped him. This is already sick enough. Brings me a sliver of relief. This poor kid lived hell on earth. I know he is experiencing eternal peace now.
My husband made bad business decisions due from a gambling problem. He got 8 years. I pleaded for the judge to give him help for what caused the problem but he hasn't received any help to reform. They don't care. He got 8 years and people who rape, murder they get less. It makes me sick!!!
How are children falling through the cracks and ending up abused and killed? Makes my blood boil. Monsters walk among us sadly. Rest in peace, Jeremiah. I am sorry this world failed you. 😔💔
A lot of our judges in this country are failing miserably at upholding their oaths to law abiding citizens. So many victims left without justice. It's sickening.
One of the best true crime videos ever done and I say that with over 20 years of true crime reading, studying, watching. Truly impressive. Those poor children.
I saw a deep dive on this boy a couple weeks ago abd I watch tons of true crime but what happened to this boy was extreme and so so sad. This poor boy suffered so much it’s one of the saddest I’ve ever heard .
Wonder how he felt afterwards, knowing that she was part of it all? Tracy obviously didn't learn anything from him - he had more compassion for her son than she did.
I left a man like this, for my kids. He never hurt them but if he had, I'd have died to protect them. I felt like I was worthless but they were everything to me. I cannot fathom how a mum can turn a blind eye to this, abused or not. Watching this, I'm so glad I left when I did.
Good on that inmate and her sister for backing up her choice to come forward and allow the truth for Jeremiah to come to light. Hopefully that family support system helps her succeed when she get out of prison.
She told to get out early. It took them hours of trying to get her to talk. She was only willing to talk once they offered her early release. I think she is selfish and I know she will pay for that for the rest of her life. She didn’t want to bring justice to the boy, she wanted out early
@kateharless5659 whoa wait do u think she kept making the detectives dig and try to make her talk for a while bc she was possibly waiting for them to offer some type of deal? But she didn't know how to go about it.... 😳
I think she was scared of being labeled a snitch and being retaliated against, at the least she still would have to be relocated. Obviously she felt bad for the kid Bc something similar happened to her brother growing up. If she did not care she wouldn’t have told her sister
@@kateharless5659 I disagree, more than likely she saw the opportunity of putting this behind her. Before there was fear that the rest of her sentence would be shadowed by this
I'm glad that little girl got away from that family. Complete monsters. I hope prison is treating her well. I've never been so happy to hear about someone offing themselves, but hearing Thomas did that made me feel a little better about this story.
This actually is the most twisted case I've ever heard. You got me this time, EWU. Seriously... everything about this is disgusting. I wish Jeremiah could have been rescued... everyone who sees this fantasizes about a reality where, somehow, he could have been saved posthumously by our wishes. And it reminds me that there are people now who need to be saved.
“My mom quit on me” damn that hit me in the gut. I’ll never ever ever understand not putting your child/children above all else. There’s never ever an excuse. Every child deserves unconditional love from the beginning
EWU has always proved themselves worthy of extensive recognition and praise for all the dedication and hard work that goes into every single one of their case analyses. May God bless them.
Every time they release a video they literally make their mark as the best true crime on RU-vid-for all the reasons you described- plus their consistency, quality and length of features.
It's an attention grabber for sure, but it's hard to tell which ones you've watched and which ones you haven't. The titles really need changed or at the very least, have some identifying information distinguishing one from another.
Thank you for the hard work you do to bring us these accounts of the crimes committed by nasty people. You always narrate in a way that helps us understand the system and procedures of interrogations, back story and outcome. Respect EWC
My heartbreaks for this boy. Jeremiah deserved so much better. His mother failed him as well as everyone else. It's absolutely heartbreaking. He is gone but will never be forgotten . R.I.P
All respect to the young lady for coming forward with this info, if not for her no one would know to this day that poor Jeremiah was murdered. i wish ppl would've stepped in before any of this happened to you. God's got you now where you can no longer be hurt. Rest in peace Jeremiah❤.
I'd like to think that the little guy fought and endured until the end. He woulda been a great adult considering how he still cared about his mother even when she abandoned him. Rip
I am so appalled and saddened that not a single person did anything to help Jeremiah😢😢how someone could do that to another person let alone a child is beyond disgusting. RIP Jeremiah❤
Stories like this legit anger me more than I can put into words. This man should have never been on the streets to do what he did to that innocent child. But because people literally fight to be soft on criminals like him he was out and took the life of an innocent child and ruined so many other lives.
My heart absolutely breaks for Jeremiah. He just wanted to be loved. That poor child deserved so much better. Every child deserves love and attention. 💙
It’s wild how our “justice system” allow people with extensive criminal backgrounds still be allowed to be roam the streets. So many charges get dismissed or ignored by our courts
Yeah, thats what happens when people bitch nonstop about how "mean" the justice system is when it actually punishes criminals. People love to have sympathy for monsters like these until its far too late. I wonder how many people that comment on these videos vote repeatedly for the politicians whose policies led to this?
They are after revenue and that's it. That's the only reason cops exist. We tend to forget that they were formed back in the racists days of young america.
I never comment but this video moved me. Thank you for sharing Jeremiah’s story and may this help all parents to hold their children a little longer and give them all the love because parents are their children’s first love. Don’t take that for granted.
The thought the MY 14yr old son experiencing such torture and all he wanted was me is too much to bare. My 14yr old is a baby, as was Jeremiah 😢 This poor poor boy 💔😔
@@ladypamela8269I adopted 3 kids that were in my care when I was fostering… they are my absolute life ❤… even though people think I’m they’re grandchildren…. I proudly say no… I’m their Mother!!
Thank you for speaking up. You were solid in every way shape and form. And your sister is a good role model for you. I don’t know why you’re there, but get outta there and get your sh** together.❤
This case really shows that there’s never just one abuser in the family. If there was, they wouldn’t have been allowed to get away with it. May Jeremeiah’s soul rest in peace
I’ve noticed that when a woman is a victim of domestic violence there is a point where if she does not getaway from the abuser that she too becomes complicit in the abuse of her family.
This poor baby, these kids deserved better. These dirtbags not only took Jeremiah's life but they inflicted SO much mental and emotional harm on his sister. She will probably never completely be able to put it behind her. No child deserves to be beaten and tortured like this little boy. The texts he sent to his mom that were completely ignored just broke my heart. RIP Jeremiah, you were failed.
A guy I was dating called my child ugly and I blocked him instantly without second thought. If a man laid a hand on my child, I would do worse. Sad excuse for a mother here, she could have made sure her kids were safe but she choose not to. I don’t know how women lose their overwhelming and innate desire to protect their child/children. Drugs and abuse, I suppose.
Jeremiah went through the worst of the worst at the hands of those who should've protected him especially his mom. Its infuriating and honestly really heartbreaking to hear in detail everything he went through like how could someone be so evil is beyond me. As for Tracy I actually felt really bad when she told her accounts and cried. And in the end when I heard the phone calls I was like "damn is that the same person who said she doesn't even care if she goes to jail??? Like what?
I've been watching crime documentaries for years. I have a thick skin so when i watch them, it doesn't really get to me. Until i watched this... This is the first time watching a story that made me tear up. It's absolutely horrifying what that young man went through. Thomas took his life because he knew he was going to have to pay for every thing he had done and didn't want to face the music. I wish the other two had gotten more time though.
I can't imagine being so deep in the ridiculous, childish "snitches get stiches" mentality that you won't tell on your "friend" and her boyfriend for murder and child abuse. Fucking insane
It’s not childish it’s the reality of life in jail/prison. Even telling on someone for having jail contraband can and will get you jumped/beaten up/piss in your food etc. Let alone telling detectives and cops about a crime an inmate privately confessed to you, that is usually a death sentence behind bars plus no one would ever talk to you again. Hence her serious apprehension to tell authorities what was confessed to her.
@@serenas5411 nah, it's childish as fuck to expect other people to take responsibility for your actions, period. You do bad shit, that's on you. Somebody finds out, regardless of how, that's your problem, and nobody's fault but your own for your own poor choices. People need to grow up.
