EXACTLY

They would’ve caught him anyway. They had his dna everywhere

not necessarily not if they didn’t have his DNA already in the system

More than the parents or himself. He just sees it as a mistake of which he is innocent because the drugs made him do it.

Yes, may God bless her for doing the right thing..

No : monster🐊.

His parents most likely posted the $760,000 bail.

Yes,the cousin is a saint

There's an old Spanish saying: "Cria cuervos y te arrancarán los ojos". Raise crows and they will pulled your eyes out. In other words you can raise a child and you can surely be surprised of what they are capable of doing. Unfortunately, parents are not raising children with a structure and base. Religion and faith plays an important part in child's life. With all respect, even though many don't believe in it. As long as you don't go to the extremes. Faith can help immensely. The world, community and society has gotten horrible.

@@evarodriguezalequin5705 Agree 100%!

This 🙌🏻

Sick parents!

These people are the epitome of what’s wrong with humanity.

Plus, their young teenage sons threaten each other with knives! What’s wrong with the parents? Kids probably never heard the word NO. Just my opinion.

My oldest son who is almost 40 now, he has had mental health issues since he was a teenager. My ex-husband encouraged the abusive behavior toward me and his siblings. I was the one who called the police several times. The police officers were like the father that he should have had for discipline. They were always on my side. My ex husband had a horrible reputation. My son did great for a long time. Then unfortunately, he got involved with a couple of criminal women. It is not ending well. I went to the police about some of the things they were involved in. He is not permitted back in my home or around us. My ex-husband think that's just wonderful. It's very sickening!

Failed system….should be 30+ years minimum.

Take him to the gallows

Agree! Wtf is 15 years!

I would have gave him the death penalty. She suffered so much and she would have died if she wasn’t so healthy and strong.

Murderers rarely receive life.

He should at least got 30 or 40 years for what he did. He basically got a slap on the wrist for what he did and he won't even do the whole 15 years 85% of it.😡

@@chrissz1762 right!! Then he says he was under the influence of shrooms. If that's so how did he THEN know to change his appearance and go out if town with his family??! Sometimes, people reap what they've sown. I sure hope he's one of those people!!

@@doublebreasted1422 Agree with you totally.

Life of the wealthy hope she sues them , 15 yrs ridiculous

​@@Rj-ov7zdShe did sue and won $5 million .... but the attempted murderers father so far refuses to pay up.

Probably only paid 70k since you usually only have to post 10% if you go through a bail bondsman.

@@dancollins8296regardless, still should have paid Donna.

@@dancollins8296 He didn't "pay", it's just a security. It cost him nothing.

Good point!

I agree. There was an incident with a nife and his brother. So there has been something prior. There is something seriously wrong with that teenager.

@@LH-gc2siTHIS! there is prior history it was happening in his own home

Thank you, my heart sank when she did not respond to the 911 operator.

Sux

​@@_Renee2 me too.

My shock when they showed Donna alive!! Amazing! One of the highlights of my day 🤗

Agree!!!

Obstruction of justice exists for this reason. Why she wasn't charged too I'll never know.

Why

There is no proof that she knew he did it.

It would be tricky to find the evidence to convict her.

I feel like no matter how good you raise your kids, they gonna do what they wanna do anyways. I've seen some people have the most wonderful parents and they were still doing illegal and dumb things. There's peer pressure all types of stuff that make people do what they do so you can't always blame the parents

Good point. Parents of minors should take part of the consequences of what they've wreaked on society too!

It's a failure of love: love for your errant son dictates that you NOT enable the son's escape from the consequences of his criminal, even callous, actions. Could it be that parents enabling naughty children bear much of the responsibility for making of their children little/big monsters? Coddling bad boys and bad girls is like adding fuel to a fire.

Exactly!

The unfortunate truth is that most people like him exhibit warning signs extremely early into their childhood development. The wilfully delusional parents who ignore these red flags should be held accountable too once their kid inevitably harms or kills somebody.

Yep. That murderous rage is still in him & prison will probably grow it. He's a clear and present danger to the community. 30yrs minimum.

Rich people have a different justice system than the rest of us.

Why did you put ever in quotation?

Yes these parents need to see the scars their son did and try to hide it and so he never has to pay for what he did. It's beyond disgusting what the parents did. Wouldn't it be ironic if he kills his parents when he gets out of prison. The parents should go to jail with him if they care more about this killer getting away with what horror he committed

He’s not spoiled he’s a psychopath

Why and how does a kid take on such an absurd level of criminality? Murderous behavior was so far from my 16yo thoughts it didn't even exist in another universe. This is completely nuts in context of being raised in relatively privileged home and societal environments.

I agree and they should have been prosecuted

@@monicadonnelly4991 Or a combination of both

It's not like he was struck by his conscience and decided to stop. It was a sheer miracle he didn't succeed in killing her, but none of it was by choice. He should have been sentenced as though he had finished it because we all know that was the plan. Failed justice system strikes again

Well they aren't going to give someone the same amount of time as someone who actually killed their victim. He also was 16 and took a plea deal and plead guilty so he got less time too for taking a plea deal

Hardened and angry, more of a socio/ psychopath? Lord, I hope not....

Bundy

Having worked in law, I can guarantee you of he was a black or brown youth he would have been locked away for decades if not life.

It has nothing to do with balls though.

Well what else was she going to do, give up and lay there and die? Anyone who is still able to physically move after an attack like that is going to to do everything they can possibly do to survive. It’s instinctual, nothing to do with bravery nor courage. You guys are so hyperbolic all the time in these comment sections for no reason.

Parents. They don't deserve that title. Evil and should be made to pay

I get that the parents were protecting their kid but damn!! If my kid would have ever done that I would have turned him in but I would support him no matter what

Well said Elizabeth. If not now in prison, where he belongs, he could've easily done this again..... And again. Stay strong Donna ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Where is the proof that the parents covered for him though?

@@Naturefan354 If I had time I'd find you a timestamp. Maybe watch again in double speed, or 1.5 as double may be a bit too fast!! PS: you have a pretty name 🤗

They sound like entitled Karens.. I have family members like that, I wouldn't mind giving them up to the cops, if I knew they did something criminal..

Great insight & perfectly stated! 🙂💖🏆💎🎯

I agree. I don't what levels the extended family members were aware of as far as his behavior goes, but they had the integrity to call when they thought it was him.

There's a very good chance that if the son wasn't caught, he might have murdered his parents and brother.

Yup and esp because they ran from home to the holiday house suddenly and with cut hair, also major giveaway

Parents should be held accountable too when the offenders are under 18. This teen madness has got to stop.

Yup! The cousin had more integrity than the whole family put together!

beautiful statement. 💛🩵

Thanks from a ole Medical Technologist!

Shout out to all who are able and donate their blood for these instances.

Yes they don't often get credit.i loved how she called her scars art work

In 1978, I had a hemorrhage. Only 17, years old. I had, had a period for a month. Finally,after passing out at home. My brother rushed me, to the ER. Where a nurse, came out to get a patient, saw me ready to expire. And wheeled me in right away. Immediately, they started, a blood transfusion. Thank you, for whoever donated. I appreciate it.❤

This woman is so, SO strong 😭

@@user-dw4cs4xv8ybut she doesn’t need to look at a scar for that. the fact that she’s alive and has ptsd are reminders of the attack.

And she's still attractive, despite the scars.

Our daughter has a long scar on her chest from open heart surgery when she was 16 months and a scar down her entire back from scoliosis surgery. We have always made sure to tell her how special she is and that her scars tell a story that other kids don’t have. She’s 20 now and has embraced her scars. It’s obviously not the same as being attacked but it is the same in how you look at adversity. Donna is fierce and I like to think our daughter is too!

Physical beauty is only skin deep and you can't buy love, buy you can rent it for a long time.

Sorry to hear you suffer with PTSD. I hope that you can find some healing. Sending positive thoughts to you.😊

@@sueridgard9068 That is so incredibly kind of you. Thank you, Friend. I hope you’re having a beautiful and blessed day. 🙏🏻

@@mallymakings2853 no problem 🤗

Watching documentaries about the courage and bravery of strong women helps me to manage my PTSD too. Also, commiting to a heart healthy diet is life changing. I highly recommend it to other sufferers.

He deserves life in prison. If someone can break into your home in the middle of the night, and stab you to death for no reason (even though she survived, most people wouldn't have), they deserve life in prison.

He deserves life without parole!

D.p. Quit reacting with WEAKNESS! The criminals love your weakness.

EXACTLY..

Who is going to be next from this young evil

The cousin definitely had morals

I doubt she'll be invited to their house for Xmas anymore.

@@badimp2010i wouldn’t want to be invited to an XMAS with a family that supported a killer

Aunty So very true.

Credit the ambulance crew more than anyone/ people (and Donna herself). Few people in the world would have survived this. I know I wouldn't have.

Because they are wealthy?

Amazingly great

And still stunningly beautiful.

Yeah, that bad trip excuse was pathetic

IKR. Salts maybe, but even then it's too much for a "bad trip"

Nope. There are people who have psychotic breaks after consuming these things. It doesn't affect everyone the same way.

Trauma traumA trauma Jesus fakkkin Christ that all people talk about? TRAAAAAAAAUMA!!!

I've only giggled on shrooms

I am sick of the excuse drugs made me do it. So what?? You chose to take the drugs so either way you will pay for what you have done. Our justice system is against the victims and favors the guilty.

Drugs can alter brain chemistry and behaviours for the worse, there no denying that. Although it's still no excuse. He still chose to take them, so he deserves full responsibility for it. He should be locked up much longer.

​@@skycloud4802Drugs really do change how somebody thinks, again, as stated above, he still did it and should be in prison for it, but the effect on somebody's thoughts is profound. I've done a bit of drugs, including meth twice and it changed my way of thinking for like 2 or 3 weeks after the fact. I can't put into words how it was different, but thinking back on it now really concerns me and now I don't even drink or anything because I hate not having total control over my brain at all times.

@@tedkaczynskiamericanhero3916 good for you…ppl want to deny that it does change your thoughts and scrambles your brains. But that doesn’t matter at all when a crime is committed. They are accountable.

Having worked in law, I can guarantee you of he was a black or brown youth he would have been locked away for decades if not life.

Wow so judgemental

⁠@@sageisrageI’ve seen you commenting in different threads on this video, and excuse me if I’m wrong, but it seems as though you are defending the kid that perpetrated this stabbing. I really hope that’s not the case. If so, please get help.

@@Sigyn_Shay Yes, I am defending him but not what he did.

I was surprised about that too. If she didn’t mention she was stabbed in the call, I would never guess her life is on the line at that moment.

Strong woman.

She doesn’t know how she made it up the stairs to the phone. His name is GOD!

That operator seemed a bit TOO calm for trying to wake a dying woman

She had a child (daughter) to live for.

that's why i love living in a free, constitutional carry state! someone trying this at my home would never make it off my porch, much less to a courtroom or prison! 🔪☠️

@@montanaelkwhisperer1744 And suddenly more guns have been entered into the equation. More druggies with guns now.

He would have gotten in through the window anyway (which he was attempting) had she not opened the door!

@@maryanne7161 yes you guys not having bars on your windows always baffled me, I am from India and we cannot imagine a home without barred windows.

@@montanaelkwhisperer1744 i guess i finally understand the gun laws in the U.S. now.

May God helps us all

Agreed! ❤❤ Such a good friend. 🥰

Totally agree. I have ptsd. It's so sweet of her to do that so the triggers don't activate.

This is so meaningful! (Sharon is my mother) thank you so much!

Thankfully someone who understands my experience. People tend to think you are overreacting or crazy when they are told that's how it feels.

Exactly!!

I bet it was, geez. Hopefully things are a lot calmer and safer for you these days.

Hope you have a gun and/or big dogs now!

@@ca8944 I did have a pistol and I was telling the 911 operator that I was going to shoot him if he got in.

Or maybe just a short drop and a sudden stop 🙈 Sorry, cases like this infuriate me tremendously.

...agree with the prior poster ^^^^^ There is NO cure for psychopathy, or certain personality disorders...NONE.

There is no "help" but the d.p. and a body bag. Quit being WEAK!

Having worked in law, I can guarantee you of he was a black or brown youth he would have been locked away for decades if not life.

​@@MermaidDolphinNYCTrue.

It's so incredible, it's almost beyond belief. She's over the top.

I think it's more that she's chosing not to hide them

Maybe the material touching the scar feels really weird .

Could be she always wears low-cut blouses, but it would be logical that she did it for the show.

She looks great and I’m so inspired by her!

So beautiful and brave

Yeah..I think you're the only one worried about the cat

​@@lynnreeves7748no she's not. I want to know too

I always wonder what happens to the pets. I wish that part would be included because they are family too.

Yes, I guess you are the only one. As for me I cater to the cats that have allowed me to live with them side-by-side ))

When he stabbed her he said something to the extent of "Die beach". That's when I knew right then and there that whatever the motive was, no sympathy could ever emerge.

Yes!! I was so impresses with all of these gorgeous, caring folks. Makes you believe in the good in people again ❤️

That hit home for me. Because I, too have scars from when surgeons saved my life with 3 emergency surgeries ans I've felt so self conscious about them and like I'm disfigured as a result. Mayne some day I, too can see mine as art like she does. Hit me right in the feels when she said that and kinda stunned me in a good way.

@Knowledge Is Contagious Pass It Around But God has given people free choice and free will, and they the ones who chose to sin. One day this pyschopath will directly face God's justice , and he will get exactly what he deserves, for eternity.

@@user-dw4cs4xv8y Then that's your choice and your loss. I just saw a story on an 8 yr. old girl that has a degenerative eye disease, and she just became blind as an 8th grader. They showed the love and compassion her fellow classmates had for her, and you know what that girl said? " I thank God He gave me sight to see the world and my family for a time." I hope you change your mind.

@@oldhickory4686 Thank God for giving the 8 year old girl a degenerative eye disease and made her blind. oh my bad it was her own choice to go blind. I hope you change your mind.

@@user-ex1is2td2b She will be in heaven and you won't. I'm afraid you're the one that's blind.

Divine intervention as she mentioned 🙌 thank God!

That was my first thought. I went through a near death scenario myself with a messed up surgery that should have been low to no risk. Tldr. I spent 14 days in the hospital many of those in the icu and also have ptsd. It was 3 years ago and I still can't look at or talk about the place that it happened at without a severe breakdown. How she was so strong to not break is beyond me.

She probably went through therapy and he was only 16 and took a plea deal so they really wouldn't give him more time because it would deter future perpetrators from taking guilty plea.

I’m sure you’re right about that. The older kid is a psychopath.

The parents gave him the DNA keep an eye on the brother

@@kRomani-gh4ws But, a judge awarded Donna $5 million dollars, and they haven't paid a dime of it.

@@zxy78267 unbelievable that's probably the law of declaring bankruptcy??

I hope the younger brother turn up to be a good person. He witness a valuable lesson of what will happen to a person with anger and drugs with his own eyes. The example of what NOT to do/be in life is his own brother (and probably parents, too).

Parent shaming is so stupid. I have 6 brothers and sisters. ALL raised by the same parents in a very stable environment. We all range from career criminal to a goody-two-shoes. Do you blame my parents for the career-criminal? Or do you praise them for raising a Goody-Two-Shoes?

Or if she had a husband to protect her in their home instead of being a single mom.

Have you ever tried mushrooms...they've been known to give people bad trips

@@mickeybell8933 I've known people who took them quite a bit, and even though they described a couple of bad trips, they never didn't know what they were doing. Personally, I wouldn't touch anything like that, but some people like them. There just isn't any evidence that they cause people to become violent.

He got in a fight with his dad and took his anger out on her.

​@@mickeybell8933 I've never heard of bad trips making someone homicidal.

Exactly they should’ve been charged as well

​@Josh Gross programme*

They’ve only been doing it for over 30 years, and have a multi million dollar production budget.

​@MCOC Loser lol @only over 30 year 😂😂😂 I love the sarcasm 🤣

​@@fionagregory9147 progrum

​@@fionagregory9147 Oh, quit it.

Agree

Yes! We need to start demanding that parents of minors be held accountable too!!!

There isn't any actual evidence that the parents covered for him.

@@Naturefan354 Pullease! You must be a friend of the family or a family member. I've seen this comment from you multiple times. They clearly were covering up for him.

@@zxy78267 Why do you feel you can accuse? Unlike you, just because someone speaks up against your virtue signaling behind your little glass screen doesn't mean they have an agenda. The actual criminal has been brought to his justice so you can put the torches and pitchforks away.

@@TheMomseloc I think it's odd that this one person has made the same comment multiple times in response to people pointing out that he's guilty, which seems odd to me. As for evidence the mother is trying to avoid her son being identified as the perpetrator, the mom takes him to the home where her niece is (or was) enjoying her honeymoon for starters. Either she has no boundaries or respect for others, or she's desperate to avoid the police, knowing that the drawing and description could identify her son, as could the camera footage. She gets her son's hair cut very short. This indicates that she is leaving the area to keep him from being questioned or arrested for the crime.

@@zxy78267 It's not odd for people to copy and paste the same reply to similar comments. I see it all the time. For all the armchair DAs here. The problem with charging parents is that it is a very slippery slope for all parents and very hard to prove, especially in this case.

I think it said she got a $6 million settlement. Correct me if I’m wrong

They all should have been charged with aiding and abetting. I don’t believe they were trying to protect their child. Any caring person would check their kid into a psychiatric hospital if this was the first time he was ever violent and something snapped. They defaulted to COVER UP because they have covered for him in the past. This is why he doesn’t have a criminal record; it’s not the first time he’s been violent, it’s the first time his parents couldn’t get him COMPLETELY off the hook. Then they refuse to pay damages to this woman who has suffered so much because of their son. That’s because they weren’t just trying to protect the kid, they were trying to protect their OWN reputations and wealth. That poisonous apple didn’t fall far from that rotten family tree. It good that that woman had the sense to call the police about “the rumor going around within the family” there is at least one person with some decency, but I’m sure she was concerned for her own safety; as well she should have been, but whatever her motives I’m glad she did. I think the police would have figured it out, there were plenty of witnesses, but he probably would have been in a country without an extradition treaty with the US by then.

@@Aspasia2929 AMEN!!!

The mom did go to jail (unsure about the brother). All I know is that Brennans brother still lives in Colts Neck to this day

I sometimes open them during the day when it's nice, but when we go to bed, I agree it's sad that we have to worry. If I'm home alone, I usually don't even leave them open during the day.

@@zxy78267 same! My mom is especially paranoid and every evening, she would go around the house locking every window and door. Even the door of every bedroom. Now, i do the same.

@@tomorrowisanotherday12 Me, too! I was home alone one night and heard one little noise and freaked out. It's sad. I lived alone for years when I was younger, and never even thought about it.

Somebody incredibly strong would not be a victim .

@@Oliver-Closeoff what a stupid comment.

This evil kid will do it again with this light sentence

It’s amazing.

It was a different witness that saw him I think at the drive-thru that made the sketch, but they said that Donna did tweak it a little.....🙄

I believe she will never recover. It's naïve to think otherwise, sorry.
