No thank you

P

😂 Oh yeah, I’d love to support Oprah in the same way she did in Maui 🙄

I agree wholeheartedly

Forgiveness is like releasing the prisoner and finding the prisoner is you.

Father even identified, the killer Son,was very much like him.When he was Young.

LEARNED BEHAVIOR FROM HIS MALE ROLE MODELS AROUND HIM.

Who's the real Christian...?

This man is really strong and he decide from the point of love than hate & as a parent you will always love your child period because the bond is so strong blood is thicker than water ❤😢

But what if both the son and father planned it?!?!?!?!?!? 🧐 Keep in mind the father suffered superficial wounds.

I know right. Too creepy.

People making statements like this, while perhaps not intentional, are making unnecessary judgements & shaming people that DO stay in their houses after violent crimes. A lot of people don’t even have the choice or ability to be able to leave/relocate and move somewhere else; that’s a LOT of expenses for the move alone, not to mention the $$ needed for funerals, having to likely already miss a bunch of work & wages because they’ve been dealing with whatever tragedy they are in the midst of, etc. This is not a financially possibility for many people who are victims and/or survivors of violent crimes. You say you couldn’t live in a house where something like this happened, but how do you actually know that? Most people who stay do NOT want to, they just don’t have a choice. Your circumstances at the time might not leave you any choice, as is the case with COUNTLESS people. Just think about how many people are left as single parents, raising children on their own now, after something terrible happens. They are the sole financial source, and moving alone is expensive. You have to actually consider the reality of the situation. We’d all like to think we’d be able to leave that pain behind, but in reality, everyone cannot make that happen. Also, moving is at the top of the list of the most stressful life situations that people go through, that’s been proven. Imagine how utterly exhausting that would be for people already drained from what they’re going through. Sometimes it’s better for people to stay in the homes they’ve known, so often, for a huge chunk of their lives, & they don’t want to start over in a new house, where they have NO memories anywhere of their now-deceased loved ones.

Evil dead eyes.. I’ve never seen eyes like his. It’s disturbing like nothings there.

Sad, but true. 😢

Metallica!!!!

Yep!

Yes, my thoughts also.

No. The father was & is a man of faith. He would have forgiven anyone. It being his son or not he was forgiving whomever it would have been from the moment it happened.

You can tell that he's a kind man. What a terrible thing to have happened to him 😔

How is he strong just because he survived? He didn’t do anything

@@lilli1259 Hes able to talk about it without breaking down, thats a low in life. Dont be dense.

Clearly not in this case!

But mom is the one that said she absolutely did not believe the rumor about her son plotting to kill her family? Did she ignore her instincts? Both parents were in denial poor sweet souls

There’s a world of difference between denial and forgiveness. And you’re definitely mistaking them here. This comment is gross and super disrespectful to this very strong, good man. He chose forgiveness, and to not let the anger and bitterness ruin his life, like SO many others do. More people should follow suit in the face of tragedy - for their own well-being, and that of everyone close to them.

He’s way in too much denial where it’s not helping the psychopath son of his

​​@@Free420Lovecan u please preach this to the Parklands victims family....I get their anger and hatred(hell Im still hateful towards MJs Dr). But some of them are still hurting and hating,I wish they can heal Sooner.but this dad still has denial or some level of it

Denial is a coping mechanism after trauma. To admit to yourself that your own child did this would probably cripple anyone emotionally. But he also lives with that voice in his head telling him the truth. Every day. He just tunes it out to avoid the pain

Yes he does

I agree! This Dad is part of the problem.

@@theresaterry164 Part of what problem?

@@QuadriviumNumbers ok’ing everything that boy has done…..

Yes! Google has spoiled he was!!!

I agree - he is over-empathizing which is toxic

yep I noticed that too!

I lost six friends and relatives in 2018 - thus grief has no time limit.

Dad had his head in the sand.

Keeping up appearances is priority number one for many.

In another docu it said that he wanted rid of them for the inheritance ...

Bart was a gen Xer but nice try though!

the father is sick in his own way. horrible.

I disagree

@@Astrid-jt8cd🙄thanks for adding nothing to the conversation.

If more people took on this mindset, they’d be a lot less miserable. I’ve watched too many people destroy their own lives and become angry, bitter people who spend the rest of their lives blaming their own bad choices on one person for the rest of their lives because they refused to let go & move on. You don’t even necessarily have to forgive, but you need to make peace in SOME way, or you will carry that anger, and so many other negative, destructive feelings forever. It destroys people, families, relationships. Don’t ruin your own lives (and too often SO many other people in your lives, people you love) because somebody else did something terrible. Emotional maturity may seem like a hard thing to grasp & hold onto after experiencing a tragedy, but EVERYONE should be reaching for it. Too many people let one tragedy turn into years & years of needless suffering. Find a way to channel that anger & negativity into something positive.

Forgiveness for the sake OF MY OWN PEACE OF MIND. Right. That's why you forgive.

Hiw do you forgive?

No i disagree, some kids are just born with darkness in them and there’s nothing you as a parent can do to stop it. You could love them more, love them less, catch them out on the lies….that is just who they are. People have a hard time believing some people are just born with a bit dark in them

I have met a lot of peers & friends at school who were classic narcissists and their parents always supported and protected their kids .

I agree with you bright blonde, but in the case of Casey Anthony, her parents have cut her from the family life. There was a documentary that Casey put out and that sealed the parents decision to disown her totally.

My thoughts exactly. It’s still so hard for him to even talk negative about his son

Maybe Dad’s enabling created this issue. I hope Dad isn’t monetarily supporting his son …. It would be like the Mother and son that were murdered died to support this monster.

He may be in denial, but it's hard to fathom that your child would do this to his family. Also, he still loves his son.

I don't think it's denial..I honestly believe it's shock.

You say that as if it’s a fault on the father! What parent would ever want to think such henious thoughts about their child and how could they continue to show unconditional LOVE FOR THAT CHILD!

@@lisajeter9511 Reading is fundamental !!!

They love their kids but hate what they did.

He's having to cope with so so much. None of us know how we would react. I have n idea how he's still upright and functioning..

No loving parent would believe their child is capable of murder. He’s acting like a normal father would act

No.He is a strong believer in Christ .

I think that at some level the Dad knew that something wasn't right with their eldest son.I think that,as parents,we want to see and hope for the best with our children.

Exactly 💯

U totally agree. He was blowing smoke.... He is clearly a manipulator. He honestly thought he wouldn't get caught. I assume his parents solely trusted him because I would have wanted to see some grades or something...

Yup, that's what I thought too. If he REALLY felt inadequate, he would have taken HIMSELF out, not others. He's a lying POS.

I think he’s just an evil person…that is it. Just pure evil

Basically his parents loved him too much and he has everything what other wish they have

100%

Yeah the son killed it, literally.

Everyone thinks that. People surprise themselves in these circumstances every day. But not forgiving too often ends up destroying the person, and often everyone around them that’s close to them, because they can’t ever let go of their anger. And that anger can bleed into every faucet, every relationship, every work experience, etc. in their lives. Forgiveness doesn’t mean you still don’t hold onto some anger & a lot of other feelings, but you are choosing to let go of the destructive feelings that negatively affect your life - you’re choosing not to hurt yourself, moving forward. Because that’s what inevitably happens when you hold onto those deep, intense negative feelings. People need to stop thinking of forgiveness as some kind of weakness, and instead as an act of self-love. Forgiveness doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with the person who did harm to your life, but instead you’re choosing yourself and not sacrificing your future happiness in order to hold onto anger that doesn’t actually affect or hurt the person who did something wrong to you or loved ones, it only hurts you.

If you can’t forgive, how can you be expected to be forgiven.

I feel like the father is naïve and the mother questioned it when she found out that he wanted to kill his family but unfortunately she didn’t do with that information and this Unfortunately happened

The father is so naïve

Obviously!

You know her schedule? Grow up!

@@QuadriviumNumbers ARE YOU STUPID?? YOU MUST BE. . NOW FIGURE OUT WHY ??

Some people want to have children but not do the hard work of parenting and being involved. I have someone in my life who is like that.

@@jaykay3839it feels great to judge people from the outside right?🙄

You can’t access though…

I agree! I respect and appreciate Oprah. She's a special lady.

He doesn’t anymore.he married again and moved out

@@pamc7307where did you hear that?

@@Bobjenner1787 - watch the video til the end!

I’m baffled by the same thing , there’s something very wrong with him .

Simple. Evil exists. The eldest son is evil and a cold blood murderer. No conscience.

If he had got away with it he'd have inherited all their money.

@@sarahholland2600 well is kinda is …… Dad is supporting him monetarily I am sure …. Blood money!

In cases of extreme abuse it's justified

He remarried in 2009 and moved into another home.( see end of this docu)

Well said, she DOES NOT know what it's like to be a parent......a billionaire though. 🤔

it's so easy as an outsider looking in to say "I would've done this" or "I would've suspected" etc. I hope just as a host she's trying to open him up by playing devils advocate, but in this case, the man's been through enough! does not need a non-parent questioning his past decisions.

She was very in attack mode ! She never should let to do the interview horrible?!! She's a narcissist

What could you do to prevent it anyway? Almost impossible by that point.

I don’t think Bart has ever had to face consequences of his actions….The Dad keeps it going.

Correct,this is what's up with the world today,kids are being excused or parents are to soft,if they do the crime they do the time it's as simple as that! My child knows this,I won't cover or excuse, they know right from wrong.

That’s why he became a narcissist. Narcissist are made through abuse or over indulgence.

I agree completely. I had heard on BBC / NPR, it costs $200k to keep those incarcerated per year. All I can think of is what good could be done with this money. I feel it's good money thrown after bad. A waste.

Let he without sin cast the first stone

Oh wow, so Bart didn’t get the death sentence?

Yeah it really worked out well for her. Gotta love that gut instinct.

Learn to listen. The son gave him a convincing lie. If you think that the police telling you your son is going to murder you, and he feeds you a convincing lie, and you believe THEM over your son, then you don't love your son. Most parents who love their children BELIEVE THEM. It's so easy in retrospect, with hindsight, but the lie he told him was a terrific one. You cannot deny that. But I know you didn't even catch that part and ran over here just to JUDGE, which says a lot about you.

"His pride won't allow him to believe he raised a monster" What the hell does this even mean? Raised a monster? So you're one of those, completely ignorant people who have no idea what turns people to sociopaths, but are so delighted in blaming the parents. You sound hateful, which again, is a YOU problem that I hope you fix. Because it's nasty to read. Can't imagine being in your head all day.

He seems fake. Creepy.

Agreed!!

Well-Said

Just look at the Dad’s behavior now….. totally forgiving him, supporting him. I think this says why this brat child could get away with it.

I feel like young people are bombarded with narcissistic role models from reality TV and just media in general. Parents need to make sure their kids don’t get corrupted by it.

Narcissists do feel emotions

That’s more like a psychopath

Yes. I agree.

I also noticed something was not adding up here…

I think the Dad is/was a huge part of the problem….. too passive and forgiving, if I was a relative I would never forgive the Dad.

Yep 💯

100%

Dad is not strong. He is oblivious...I'm sure his wife tried to confide in him before she went to her friends and he probably dismissed her. He knows what a narcissist is but he blew it off and umbrellaed it like he was "cocky" n arrogant... He is stronger than I am....I couldn't do it.

​@@florinerhodes8543I thought the same thing. The father seems to be in some fog. This whole story seems contrived. What happened to the shooters? Did I miss something? How could the father not know the son was not in school. He couldn't have been paying tuition if the son was not enrolled? Where was he sending the $? I am very confused. The father can forgive his son but how can he not forget? That's a hard call for me. Maybe father is more God fearing than I.

The dad is not facing reality. He is void of any feelings for the truth

@florinerhodes8543 The wife told her friends she did not believe her son was plotting to kill the family/ both were in denial not just dad

Obviously not??? lol??? It’s his son and he did it to his own mother and brother. That man is living in a constant nightmare. Y’all really don’t seem to get it still???

The movie "we have to talk about Kevin“ is NOT about this case! It’s a fictional school m@s$acr3.

@@PhnxI3 yes, I didn't mean it was an account of the same case. It's just about the topic. As I said in my comment, the movie was made from a novel (fictional).

This happened in 2003… Oprah’s being respectful as possible. HES HIDING SOMETHING!!! IDC IDC.

Remember interviews are cut and join

She's cold and she is NOT a parent. She loves money.

​@QuadriviumNumbers to be honest when you deal with fact

Go see my comment at the top of this thread. The Governor commuted Bart’s sentence to LWOP.

@@deloreslate4028 Thanks for sharing this!

Who is choosing words in the interview? The father or the son?

@@Potsticker2They’re stating that the dad isn’t giving straightforward answers while Oprah is interviewing him which is correct. Rewatch how he answers everything as if he’s trying to protect something.

@@Potsticker2it was the son that was being referred to as not giving straight forward answers…the dad is just being a dad irrespective of the son’s personality

I’ll pray that Kent moves on yes forgiveness but also don’t keep on going to the jail and gets stuck with visiting him all the time and then you can’t move on and start another life with him being in the way

Have you walked in this man's shoes!!!How should he be acting!!!..What h has been through is absolutely shocking...your own child trying to kill you,killed his mother and brother!!! What is a correct way to act after that!!easy to judge and comment when your watching the story,and not part of that story

I know right. Creepy

My daughter did the same and I had no idea. She lived on campus but didn’t go to class

This can happen in ANY country! People can get hold of anything, regardless of any laws, if they want something badly enough!!

So true .only in America.

@@kathybrown3160except guns

@kathybrown3160 your missing the point . At least our teenagers can't just walk into a dodgy shop that sells guns of all sorts and purchase one . USA are going going to keep in experiencing these tragic crimes but will they learn... nope! I find that very 😔

L0p

what i am thinking is that mb of greedy and thinking that he get everything when he wipe up his family,it so anoying that he recruit these young man to do his horrible thing,

was searching for a comment like this, i am glad that father didnt also have to bury his other son. thank god the govenor listened to him

Something is off for sure.
