No kidding. What was she thinking? That girl's father should have been there, but who knows that story? He was probably a worthless pig and the source of that girl's anti-social DNA, to the extent her predisposition is genetic. You don't just go around having sex and kids with anybody, but there are a lot of guys out there who are perfectly happy with that arrangement - as long as it doesn't involve marriage, raising, and paying for a child. We can pronounce the social experiment for nearly 60 years a catastrophic failure.

True. It's never a great idea, even with relatives.

Super bad judgement to let a guy live there!

She succumbed to pressure from the only other one in the house, with no support for rational thought and decent arguments against it.

Not just murder. Matricide.

She didn't get away with it. She is going to jail for at least 15 years and hopefully more. I agree with Dr. Grande that the sentence was too light, though

She has already been released from prison.

@@MsSilverTulip 15 years when you are only 15 means that you'll still have a whole life ahead of you when you get out (never mind not serving your full sentence, as usually happens). 15 years when you took a life, never mind your own MOTHER's life, is getting away with it.

she'll get let out early if she's not already out, shes a woman

Agreed, the older you get, the more you see the same things over and over, the more you know these kids have become desensitised and no matter how they feel after the reality sets in, there are no excuses, there are horrible spoilt kids that don't kill, there are broken and abused kids that don't kill, something is really missing to kill your own mum 😑😣🥺❤.

Yes!

It’s because she took the plea deal she got less time. She turned on her partner in crime that lessened her own sentence. It sucks, but that is how our Legal System works.

Couldn't agree more. I think a lot of kids become insanely jealous when they realize they will never be as successful as their parents. At this point they would rather they were dead, and had the money. More often than not, it is about money. The spoiled, entitled kids think the parents should just hand over the money, or else....

saraharper was it your experience that you had to take sides with your parents' incompetence against yourself to survive?

Your, americans leading still ridiculous XVI century protestant moral. It is time to understand that it is time to decriminalise killing. We have anyway too much people on the Earth. My opinion is to start from climaactivists.

Really? How about the part where the mom beat her daughter to the point of losing her for 6 months, then neglecting her to the point where the kid is doing cocaine with her adult BF?

@@YoYo-gt5iq Abuse / neglect and indulgence, the two aren't exclusive. The infamous DeFeo case (what the Amityville Horror was based around), the father of the house was said to be physically and verbally abusive to the family and especially to the eldest son who would (allegedly) later end up killing the entire household on his own. But the dad would apparently also overindulge the son, buy him expensive gear, hooked him up with work in the family business, allowed him to keep his own hours while drinking and drugging himself as much as he wanted. He was known around town as a wild kid, who somehow had access to nice watches, a car, money, drugs, etc.

The biggest problem in our society is fatherless homes. This has become a horrible pattern. Most crimes are committed by children who are raised without a father in the home. They have the highest criminal rate, drop out rate, pregnancy rate, and drug usage rate. There is a reason that it takes both a mom and a dad to create a child. It provides balance in the children’s lives as each parent brings different things into the development if the child.

@@robinbond7878families can be healthy and raise non violent children easily without a father. Some couples are lesbians obviously

@robinbond7878 although i will agree certain aspects of a child (likelihood of depression, etc.) has been linked to fathercare, i wouldn't consider that the biggest problem. The biggest problem is the lack of love and understanding within these families. So many of them are dysfunctional, with and without a father. You don't need a father to grow up healthily, you need a loving parent that nurtures you, and in a place where poverty and stress is so rampant, many children don't get that love from even their own mothers. Its unfortunate

The world is a sad place

I have been friends with many only children of single moms (not sure why? Lol), but all of them are doing well today with normal lives.

It’s not!

She was also a minor throughout much of the relationship. She knew Steve would get a stiffer penalty as an adult. She used Steve. She didn't love anyone but herself.

Bc if they don't make plea deals every court case becomes infinitely longer and more expensive. The justice system would come to a standstill.

Because the judge had a rodent's nest where his brain should be. That poor woman.

Prisoners dilemma

Judges help the murder rate increase

Exactly! If you think they're worthy of that kind of criticism, they're deserving of a sentence to match. They're either not guilty or guilty. There's no third option where you get to give them a lecture but set them free on the public to do more harm. And if they didn't GAF what their parents had to say about their life choices (to the point they plotted their murder) why would they care what a complete stranger says?

I don't know all the circumstances of this case and the charges and related laws, but often judges are limited by the state/federal law in how much of a sentence they can give someone. They aren't limited though to their comments upon sentencing. We often condemn judges, but their hands are also often tied in regard to the sentence and charges. We all tend to look at these cases as pure murder but from a legal standpoint there can be big differences in potential sentences for first degree vs second degree murder and also manslaughter. Society though has a right to be concerned when someone who has participated in what was clearly a premeditated act is now out on the streets.

It's how a lot of these narcissistic self-centered degenerates are raised. NO CONSISTENCY in upbringing! Parents do NOT follow thru with discipline or punishment and it waters down their view of authority.

I agree! She asked for a deal and prosecutors likely reduced the charges. Although it’s likely that did take part in the murder, she never admitted harming her mother. She blamed just about everything on the boyfriend.

exactly..

All the individuals in this case had serious issues. The mother was raising a daughter alone while struggling w a serious illness and alcoholism. She did her best under difficult circumstances may she RIP The daughter, a child really, was raised by an emotionally struggling mother and is clearly mentally unstable. The boyfriend was bullied and had no friends his own age. Just a horrific situation all around not an occasion for readers to judge so harshly. I’d hate to be an alcoholic with lupus and trying to raise a daughter w serious mental issues and a raging boarder she naively thought was helpful who was having sex w her daughter- horrible scenario! Those of us with less challenging lives should be thankful. Honestly wonder why people have children at all so sad

Yes. I love your statement here. Sometimes, kids are just spoiled brats. People really need to stay out of how others parent.

How is letting a man live under your roof with your teenage daughter acceptable?

Having a loving husband, and father to her young daughter, could have a made a BIG difference too. Sad.

@@reneegardner2286yep. There's so much that goes into that level of sociopathic behavior. Biology, bad parenting, past trauma...but riding lessons probably didn't cause it...

@@reneegardner2286 you're so judgemental. You must be bloody perfect.

Well yeah obviously. But that's why you just should not give kids that much privilege. We don't always know from the very beginning who's going to turn out to be evil. You can mitigate that by not feeding into their entitlement. There should always be a level of boundaries, work ethic, and being told "no" sometimes.

Justice system is fucked up anywhere you see in this country.

I could have gotten by with the charge because they used her to put the guy away for life but the judge should have given her more jail time.

@@nettiea9384 I'm not blaming the mom in this case, I was talking in general terms. There are so many examples of ppl who were never told no growing up and they end up awful ppl. I should've clarified that.

I can’t. Children don’t need everything they ask for. What they need is time spent with their parents and a good moral foundation. I don’t know if her mom took her to church but as my parents always said, if you don’t teach your children about God when they ate young and give them a good moral foundation, they will go looking for something to fill that need. And you might not like what they fill it with! Apparently, she filled hers with Satan!

Because Narcissists are lying pieces of crap, think Gabby Petito. I married a Brian Laundry. He left when he found out I was pregnant. Fast forward 12 years, our child is EXACTLY like him. Constantly Lying, Stealing, I finally gave the child to other family who think they have The Magic Solution to do the raising. We'll see. Sociopathy/psychopathy are in the DNA/Genes. Kids KNOW they can say, "my parent abuses me." And CPS jumps all over it. WHY? Follow the $$$$ MONEY. It's a BUSINESS.

Dr. Grande doesn't do long videos, but I've seen documentaries about thus crime, I remember what you're referring to. I think that after Joanne hit her, she called the police on herself because she knew she wasn't handling the situations with Tyler well. Then she spent those 6 months getting herself together (likely taking parenting classes, etc), and Tyler returned. At least, that's how I remember it, but maybe I made the whole thing up 😂.

Many of us got hit with a belt and we grew up normal! Now its the fad to be friends and not parents and look at the aholes growing up now. Supremacist psychology behind it all!

Yeah, I didn't get that either. Needs further details.

Why not believe it? They did it to me. The system is not what you think. They are ruining peoples lives. We need a new system. I could say so much but it would be a long read.

I agree. Twenty stab wounds sounds personal. If he had done it, it would have been one and done. The daughter had the passionate hatred evident in the numerous stab wounds. Now she's free and he'll never see the light of day. Unfortunately, she'll murder again and she's been given a tacit "ok" to do so with this lenient sentence after her horrific murderous stabbing perpetrated against her own mother.

@@ponygirlusa yes I believe Tyler committed the murder for the reasons you stated

Still if he wasnt in her life it wouldn’t have happened. If the mother had some exterior help for her difficulties she would have welcomed him in the house like she did just for the little help he brought to her. 14 is the worst age for girls, they seem insensitive and entitled, and tend to take advantage of a single parent’s weakness to dominate them. It’s very sad that the bad influence and lack of guidance created such hell because usually when they begin to work and see the world from the outside, the same girl can completely change and appreciate their mother, even thank them for not giving up on them, even begin to be responsible and make efforts. By the age of 17 they switch and you even forget how mean they were. Instead of paying for fancy vacation and activities, she should have reached for an adult to help her around the house and put limits on the kids right away, not let that boy influence her daughter.

@@ponygirlusa Solid!

I agree with you 100 %

She was 14? I mean that's more time than she's been alive. It's not insignificant. It's a light sentence but she was physically abused by mom, sexually abused by a male adult ,(regardless of consent) and on drugs. Bad situation. I'd have given her 20 year sentence straight , maybe parole at 85% time served.

He will be in prison when he sees Tyler living a rich Lifestyle with a new Boyfriend. She will forget about him and his life is thrown away. For what did he do it? He got nothing good from this or from his love for Tyler. When Tyler asked him to murder her mom, he should have said No to her. This one word that Tyler needed to hear more often since she was a small child. I hope that he will find god and Jesus in prison and doesn't throw away this last chance to change.

A 14 year old *CHILD* did not manipulate a grown ass man. He knew damn well what he was getting into including engaging in statutory rape.

She's a spoiled brat and sociopath. She deserves more. But he is too. A 14 year old can't 'manipulate' an adult into murdering someone like that. If a 14 year old asks you to kill someone, any reasonable adult will say no.

Man if this isn't the worst case of pussy whipping I've ever heard about I don't know what is. That dude got royally fucked, in all ways. I bet she hasn't even been to visit him.

I scrolled to find you lol😂 a dumpster with a view

What a disgusting comment.

Or she's just a psychopath and narcissist using drugs

I would probably go on to say that something has gone incredibly wrong with broader society that so many dysfunctional households and cases of matricide/patricide exist. My mom spoiled me like crazy (for our income bracket) and let me do just about whatever I wanted to an extent that definitely wasn't safe or conducive to developing life skills. She was a very intelligent and loving woman, which you might not guess by how she let me run rampant, however... HER childhood was defined by poverty, drunkenness and multiple types of abuse which were normalized and not talked about in the 50s & 60s... I don't think she ever talked to a therapist or even considered it, and as a result of that trauma, my mom couldn't bear to see me in any kind of distress, and she also had a really hard time with enforcement and confrontation. She worked incredibly hard to provide for my sister and me (dad had died) and protect us from the evils she'd experienced in the world, while both of her sisters carried the family torch of alcoholism and abuse. My cousins all had traumatic encounters with the foster care system, but it wouldn't be quite fair to blame their mother, because the reason why she developed personality and substance use disorders was because what was done to her by her parents. She was also severely bullied in school. And we could blame her parents, but they were sick with prior trauma, too. Her mom (my gramma) was r*p*d by her uncle and punished for telling, among other things. In her community at that time, it was normal for girls to be mIstd by their uncles but it was decidedly not normal to talk about it. I didn't mean to go on for so long, but the point is that the world has been messed up for a minute. Everyone's reacting to everyone reacting to things that happened before their parents were even born, so maybe it isn't quite fair to chalk everything up to bad parenting when we can also look back and see that individuals are carrying trauma that was enabled or even endorsed by the surrounding culture/community.

So you’re victim blaming

Some people are born EVIL!

But, isn’t that also partially due to your personality type? Some people don’t see the world in the same way. They feel resentful, self righteous, entitled, etc. I think this mom definitely did her version of an intervention when she realized she’d been duped. And her daughter hated her for it.

It's important to note that she did not get to choose how she felt about her mother. All anyone could do is witness her bad feelings, including her and her mother. Her mother was probably a practicing pigeon parent. Love and respect do not come from a will to love or respect. They come naturally from good feelings about another person, feelings we don't control from situations and behaviors nobody gets to control. I have no reason to believe that Joanne ever really connected with her daughter at an emotional level based upon these events. She bears some responsibility in her own demise. However, this girl belongs in prison, sequestered from peaceful but vulnerable society; not as an act of punishment or vindication; just as an act of actual interest in public safety. The killer her mother helped create is still a killer and is absolutely dangerous.

Giving her everything was the first mistake. Letting her bring a stranger into their home was second. Sometimes being weak and too caring isn't good. This woman lost her life because of her bad judgement.

You are exactly correct. I raised three children, two boys and a girl. My oldest son is 53 and a vice president in a big corporation. My second son is a successful in plumbing and heating. My daughter is an accountant at Harvard college. They are also wonderful parents and good, honest people. They had plenty of love, family participation as we went camping on weekends. I shared interests with them, taught my oldest to fly and he got a pilots certificate at 17 years old. My younger son and I shared RC flying as a hobby. My daughter and I shared music and she played the piano. But there was also dicipline. When I caught my youngest boy stealing a ball from a store I marched him back to the store and made him give it back and apologize. My children were taught right from wrong, to excel in school if they wanted to be successful in life, and to never judge others by race or ethnicity. I never found it hard work, I just did what I felt was the best way to raise healthy, honest, successful children that would become wonderful adults.

😂😂🤣😂🤣 Spoken like someone who has never had to try and raise a child of a Covert Narcissist. It's in the DNA and genes. Laying down the Law only gets you ATTACKED by them.

@@ggeorge4144 That's nice. But I am not going to criticize a mother who was a victim killed by a crazy daughter. Not everyone has perfect parents, but they don't turn out to be killers. You can raise your kids right, do everything right, and they still do things no one understands. And vice versa. There was something very wrong with this girl. She was full of rage. She hated her mother. How do you have so much rage and hate your mother who does nothing but love you and give your everything she can? The girl was mean, sadistic, and dark. No one was there to see how the mother disciplined her daughter. I really believe she tried, and she probably felt guilty for having to do it alone without a father. She wanted her daughter to be happy. But sometimes, people are just born bad. it's nature. Something goes wrong. Missing a chip. Their history was one of constant conflict. The mother had a hard time taming her. Born evil. Also, you raised your children over 50 years ago. The world has changed a lot since.
