No one knew I was mistreated, and when I finally said something, the school counselor just called and told my parent. Why don’t kids tell? They scared, for one. What happens if you tell and they find out, but no one does anything to help? You might imagine it does NOT improve things.

Is it strange that people who live in double wide trailers always have 500k in life insurance?

Hi Dr Grande, I'm a mental health nurse in Australia and I really appreciate your channel. Thanks and merry Christmas to you and your family 🎉

My siblings and I were severely abused as children by an adict alcoholic parent. Everyone knew, friends, family, neighbors, school teachers. One of my teachers actually bought me a pair of shoes! No one did a thing! No one cared, despite the black eyes, bruises, busted lips, etc. In our case there was no need to tell because everyone already knew! Because of the way we were treated at home even our classmates abused us!

It's 4.10 a.m. here on Penang Island, Malaysia. Thank you for doing what you do. The cases might be shocking but your style is soothing. Happy holidays and blessed Christmas to you and the lady of the house. 🙏🏾❤️

Dr Grande is the best KZfaq storyteller on the internet!

I remember seeing the boy on Evil Lives here. She is Guilty as hell! He already got away with the shooting, and had nothing to gain by confessing to what really happened. She is evil to the core. I can't believe she is free today.

No one actually gets away with their evil actions, sometimes it takes a minute for them to reap what they've sown. Thank you, Dr Grande! I hope you and your sweetheart have a very merry Christmas and a blessed New Year! ❤🙏🎄

I think there was more than ample reasonable doubt in this case. No one should be convicted based on the statements of a kid that lied so much.

Dr. Grande, you made my day! You are not an everyday man by any means, but your consistent daily uploads, especially during the holidays when things can get a bit too cheery for me, give me something to unwrap and unravel. You always bring a smile to my face! 😃🙋🏻‍♀️❤️

Trust me no one truly knows what goes on inside someone else's house. So he could have been abused but with all his lies it's hard to believe what is true or not maybe he should have been arrested to and sent too a juvenile detention center.

Interesting that such a young man would have knowledge of common abusive relationship patterns

The victim in these cases just disappears. Only his life insurance remains.

I’m more surprised the 10 year old kid is capable of accusing coercion than firing a round….

The topics are deeply disturbing..also interesting completely intriguing..but his voice is so calming that I struggle to stay awake until the end truth be told!❤

All I can say is "Somebody got away with murder."

Dr Grande: PLEASE make sweatshirts that say " I'm just Speculating" or "I

Corey: I feel like it’s my fault. The Jury: I mean…

This case is very strange. It's so interesting! Thank you for telling us about about it Doc. I will be thinking about this a long time

Love your videos Dr. Grande!! You're one of my favorites along with Dreading when it comes to this kind of content! 🔥🔥

Thank you Doctor for all the good documentaries you have, and how you explain it also, thank you for making me laugh with some of those wise cracks unique you are truly awesome

Was just watching another one of your videos when this one popped up.

Good points about Corey's story. It really makes you think.

Wow ! Im saving this one. Frighteningly scary , absolutely on point how twisted mindsets become , insightful content. Thank you Dr.Grande

Some blame should go to the school for stocking that provocative book in its library. It was entirely inappropriate for children of that age who often do not fully comprehend the gravity of their acts but are coming to an age when they begin to form resentments due to discipline, curtailment of freedom and other things. That book probably lit the fuse.

Thanks for the upload, Dr. Grande! Your true fans love your humour and sarcasm. December 19 is Oatmeal Muffin Day, Holly Day, National Hard Candy Day (gotta have some Pep-O-Mint Life Savers later!), Look For An Evergreen Day, Dot Your I's Day, Go Caroling Day, and Chocolate Pizza Day.

About halfway through this I was convinced Judith did it, but after listening to all the evidence Corey sounds like a pathological liar. He may have had it in for Judith simply because she was his stepmother and wanted to frame her in the crime. He sounds like a diabolical kid without a conscience.🧚‍♀

" inadequate skepticism about what is said by a mental health professional" is a good observation. In fact lack of skepticism about what is said by politicians and especially the Media, is woefully inadequate. The Founders of America were very skeptical about Governments with good reason.

Happy Holidays Dr. Grande!

Very sad for her children that their mother was found guilty of murder on only the words of the shooter. She most probably took the Alford plea just to get court cases over with and move on with her life. I'd like to have heard more about the father son relationship.

Just a reminder, I'm not diagnosing anybody in this video; only speculating about the pride a father feels in his son being a crack shot (like this).

Dr. I really appreciate what you said towards the end of this video, “ Juries often do not have enough skepticism re: the testimony of mental health professionals.” Alot of people in your profession cannot and would not put their perceived status and credentials aside, and would scoff at the idea of anyone questioning their opinions and statements. This is just another example I noticed as to how you separate yourself from many of your colleagues . You are always willing to challenge the status quo within your own profession and do not consider yourself untouchable based upon credentials alone. You’re willing to explain your beliefs and don’t just coast on your professional title. That’s noticed and appreciated by the public, it shows a humility and lack of ego and speaks to your character. Ideally authority figures in the appropriate setting should be willing to stand up to scrutiny

Thank you for posting Doctor Grande! Happy holidays to you and your family!❤

That’s an intriguing case and a great analysis. Thank you, Dr. Grande.❤

Dr. Grande I sure hope that you and your family have a wonderful Christmas and a prosperous New Year. God bless y'all. 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅⛄️⛄️⛄️⛄️⛄️⛄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️☃️☃️☃️☃️☃️🎁🎁🎁🎁

What a messed up kid.

0:37 0:42 0:50 in NewZealand all guns have to be stored unloaded in a metal cabinet bolted to the wall or floor.the ammunition must be stored in a separate locked cabinet. All gun licenses are administered and controlled by the police

Always interesting Thank you

I think it's highly unlikely that Judith actually told him to do it, like the probability is near zero. It appears the child has a deep resentment towards her for whatever reason, & used her as an easy scapegoat.

Merry Christmas Doctor Grande.

Another compelling video; thanks, as always, Dr. Grande. Human nature being so strange and complicated, you'll never run out of stories to tell. And indeed (and if you haven't already), if you ever do a video on Dave Pelzer (author of A Child Called It), I'd be interested.

I know an 11-year-old who lied about physical abuse successfully. DHS would not listen to the parents, and there was no evidence. Hard to believe but that kid got put in foster care for about a year because COVID made the process slow. Everyone believed her, without evidence. She was enabled and emboldened. Her parents don't know what to do because they are afraid if they don't give her everything she wants, she might run away and claim abuse again. The system is so messed up.

Hi, Dr. Grande. I love your content. Can you please cover the case of actor Jonathan Majors?

I love how this dude starts off every episode by saying "Don't sue me" lol

Love the way the color of this shirt compliments your tone! Keep on being a GOAT, Dr. Grande! Lol, Dr. Grande, you're my hero!

Hello Dr. Grande!

🎄 MERRY CHRISTMAS 🥂HAPPY NEW YEAR 👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨Dr. and Mrs Grande 🥰And Fellow Followers

Dr. Grande, I really enjoy watching your videos. They are very interesting. Thank you....and I always agree with you. 😊 😂😅❤

There seems to be people out there who think they are all not guilty.

doctor I'd be curious to hear if there's a threshold for violent behavior in children at which caution should be considered

Dr. Grande, Could you do a video addressing gerontophilia? There is very little on this topic. Specifically I am interested in men attracted to older women.

Dr. very nicely played with our emotions and thereby made a great point. 2/3 through I was totally sold on poor boy/evil mom. Then you make me rethink everything.

Considering the time, location, and circumstances of the shooting, I feel like the chances of it being an accident are very slim. The question is just whether or not mom was involved, and I agree that unfortunately we probably just don't have enough evidence to know.

❤ love to you and your lovely wife thx for great content. ❤

We need a video on Derek de la Rosa, just killed his mom while she was sleeping next to his baby. Sister. Derek is only 13

“The Demon Seed.” That’s the only movie reference at play here.

I'm curious as to why you describe their home as "a double-wide trailer". The home pictured is a "manufactured home" which, although trailered to the home site, is placed on a foundation just as a site-built home is. Referring to the home as a trailer sounds condescending.

Wow- I was pretty sure she was guilty, according to the law, before you spoke about the exculpatory evidence! This is a pretty interesting case! I’m gonna have to look into it more.

Love ur content. The only complaint I have is you don't have any tinsel around the cacti. Please rectify immediately. 😉🎄

It’s shocking that she was found guilty with no evidence. The kid went into denial about what he had done and decided to shift the blame onto someone else. He didn’t want to be a murderer.

Mary surat was found guilty in the Lincoln assassination and hanged in large part because she was an unlikeable person. (She personally mistreated slaves etc). Her descendants are still trying to have her pardoned posthumously. Dr grande please consider doing an episode on Mary surat

Another amazing vidoe. Thank you, Todd ❤ Could you please do the case of someone over here in the UK? British nurse, Lucy Letby. It's a faily unique case that I believe you would also find extremely interesting. Many thanks and keep up with your great work. Alex

Your sarcasm is improving 👍

Hello 👋 good Dr. Grande 🎉❤

My dad says not to get a high insurance policy. He says the love of money outweigh logic in some cases....

People be weird

The worst thing I did at 10 was get mad at my dad after we argued and walk out of the house slamming the front door...and breaking a decorative pane of glass in it. I thought OK, I can go right back inside and catch hell, or go for a walk then go back inside and catch hell. Luckily Dad and I both had quick tempers but cooled down quickly so by the time I got back we didn’t fight. Bur he never found the right glass so every time l looked at it it reminded me not to slam doors with decorative panes of glass in them 😊

Hello Dr Grande. Love your videos. I just saw this case. Oh My God. Beyond horrific. I mean who in the right mind would pressure a kid to kill his own parent. Which also sparks the importance of the right type of parenting. No right parents would dare pull a stunt like this. Also I have a recommendation. Please do a case about Lou Pearlman. I feel that case will be very interesting and a huge lesson for us to be careful of people we trust.

Dr Grande for president.

2/19/24 Imo, Corey was telling truth about Judith. Most people never know when a child is being abused! Corey, had no reason to blame her yrs after the crime. Robert, rip

Thank you, Dr. Grande. I read Dave Pelzer's book "A Child Called It," and I resonated with his experience... sounded familiar to me, unfortunately. I think this little psycho and his stepmom colluded. Half a mil will get you out of that life without having to earn it. And 10 years old is old enough to be diagnosed as a "Bad Seed", not speculated, in my humble layperson (not professional) experience 😮.

I've seen several documentaries regarding this case! The cop that was on scene afterwards comforted Cory and he always felt something was off! The stepmom was behind this because Cory thought if he followed through with what his stepmom ordered him to do, she would lay off abusing him! She was trying to get Cory to do this several times before it actually happened!

So the original investigators couldn't effectively interrogate a 10 year old. Utterly useless.

Hey Dr. Grande, this is one of your Patreon subscribers. I'm not sure how you take requests for video topics, but I'm wondering if you can answer the question: "Can you analyze the case of Paolo Macchiarini?" I think everyone subscribed to your channel would love to see your analysis. Let us know, thanks and merry Christmas!

If I committed a crime I would want a jury trial. If I was accused of a crime I didn't commit I would be scared to death of a jury. I think it's time to consider professional juries who have education in forensic science, genetics, statistics, and probability.

I read that book! So sad!

real *mindblowing* story

Who knows, maybe he was a lying sociopath 🤷‍♀️ But honestly, I lied all the time as a kid because I didn’t know how to handle situations better, and they weren’t even high stakes situations. So while his inconsistent sorries make it difficult to know which story, if any, is the truth, that doesn’t mean that the mom was innocent. It just means that a kid doesn’t know how to handle a terrible situation well in the eyes of a court of law (which, what child does). If I needed to get away from a dangerous adult and didn’t think my truth would be believed or taken seriously, I can imagine thinking it could only help your case to embellish. It’s unfortunate that bruises aren’t always visible or documented, but the teachers did see some, so something was going on! Like, of course this child didn’t have a tidy line up of evidence. How could they?… I don’t get what we expect of child abuse victims. We put so much of the burden of proof on them, but that’s also extremely unrealistic.

Can you make a video about video games? Why are we attracted to them, and how are we vulnerable to them, also the nature of video games too(the most important subject) , and also other possible branches of this topic. A lot of people including myself would find this topic interesting and eager to learn more about it.

tbh 10yo child is still very little, there is always an adult responsible for their behaviour, in one way or another

I agree with Dr G that there is (effectively) significant suspicion that she incited Corey to shoot the father but that this cannot reach conviction threshold. Her apparent cold, indifferent behaviour at the death scene and the astonishingly callous seeking to 'cash-in' the day after such a traumatic tragedy is jaw-dropping and consistent with C's claim. They seem to've been relatively poor: did she need the money? He wouldn't be the first child a parent has insighted to kill an adult. But none of this amounts to reasonable conviction. His demonstrable unreliability fatally compromises his testimony. Of course his claims of abuse are quite distinct from his allegation of incitement... but consistent with hatred. We simply cannot know whether the impetus to shoot was his own, was an accident (less plausible given specifics), or incited by her. How did a boy access the gun: was it carelessly stored or did she enable it? But her deeply discordant behaviour after what would be a grave tragedy to a normal bereaved family must be suspicious.

Hey Dr. Grande; I appreciate all of your videos as a psychology lover they have taught me a lot. Cheers from México! 🇲🇽 you got a viewer on Mexico City. Keep it up!

What a roller coaster

What a strange case. So much heresy and deception.

Meeting her step-son after he got off the bus and hugging him was unusual and out of character for her. His crying after the murder was apparent remorse, which she obviously did not care about when she told him to shut up, while seeing dollar signs. I do not think her step-son would have allowed her to touch him if she was physically abusing him. So, his track record of lying is problematic. I think Dr. Grande nailed it again.

Can you review the AJ Armstrong case? I would love to hear your take.

Save it for the defense team Dr grande. The fact is this woman should have been charged with first-degree premeditated murder and conspiracy to commit murder due to the life insurance policy. I don't care if she set the policy up or not it doesn't mean that she didn't see an opportunity and take advantage of it... If the kid committed murder on his own and got away with it then why would he bring it up after he already got away with it? That only adds credibility to his story in my opinion and who benefited more from the death of his father the boy or the mom?

ONE MINUTE and still not first lol...

A Child Called It. In the top 3 disturbing and traumatic books I've ever read, as a layperson and now Clinician 😰😱

Long before the story ended I had my doubts about the stepmother's guilt. Too convenient to blame the "wicked" stepmother of fairy tales for one's crimes. I definitely agree that the jury should have been more skeptical of the boy's tall tales.

This is an interesting case. It would be nice to know a concrete truth to the killing but I am afraid that's never going to happen.

I read the book and I cannot believe this would be available to middle-schoolers! It was horrific to read as an adult. His follow up books showing his survival may have been better suited to this age group.

did doc do one on AJ armstrong? im interested on his pov , many jumped to conclusions without hard physical evidence and how he acted as if everyone acts the same

It's great that Dr.Grande can talk about a trailer park drama with a strait face!😅

I read that book! When I was 15

🎵Saturday night in Toledo, Ohio is like being nowhere at all

The holes in the kids story are as big as the hole in his dad’s head. The stepmom shouldn’t have been convicted in the first place given the hearsay testimony that even a moderately competent attorney should have objected to.

Why would the stepmother go the very next day to fill out paperwork for the life insurance?

Shoutout to the OCEAN acronym 😎

I’m not saying there was no abuse but legally there was not enough evidence to convict that woman, in my opinion.
