Some how I don’t think she knew. When you are afraid of your own child, you probably wouldn’t be looking for them. If she was at a neighbors, she probably had no idea what he had done or that he had left. Not sure though, because she was so adamant about finding him, thinking he was still in the house. Very confusing. But in any case, after he had admitted to setting the fire, he should have paid for it with life in prison. Don’t understand why so many countries don’t prosecute supposed mental health individuals! He knew what he did was wrong or he would not have fled and stayed at his uncles house. Doesn’t seem like he cared if his mother or anyone survived!!

It can be terrifying when you realize you love someone like that. These guys kept shredding their bodies, when the only missing person was the son they didn't know the first thing about. It's technically, if not literally, insanity. But I guess that's why firefighters work together, they're constantly surrounded by people who are also willing to go that much further than the rest of us. Incidents like this one happen, but the odds of people getting hurt are so much lower than they would be if people like your dad weren't there. Tell him the internet says hi.

I have seen a lot of people blaming the mother, yet I’ve still got to see a comment blaming the actual cause of the fire. The firefighters could barely see 2 feet ahead of them in a 2 story building, if there was a person there, it would be very likely that they wouldn’t have found him. It’s not the abused mother’s fault what her son did. She didn’t know that her son was there, and based on another person, this happened in the 2000’s where cell phones weren’t as prominent. His relatives should have told the firefighters that the son wasn’t there earlier. His mother should not be blamed for the death of 6 firefighters, imagine the trauma this left her regardless

@pt3033 10 ай бұрын

It's automatic the son gets the full blame for the fire but there's also a lot of blame to be spread. It's sad he abused his mother but it doesn't diminish the fact that 6 firefighters died because she wouldn't believe them when they looked several times for her son. We can still feel bad for her but also upset and frustrated she didn't believe them. It's a trolley problem and we can talk about would've, could've, should've but it still doesn't take away the fact that 6 firefighters died and left their family and loved ones to grieve after them. Is saving one person worth 6 lives? Is one trauma worse than 6?

Are you dumb??? 1. The person was panicked. Therefore, she wasn't thinking clearly. Especially panicked considering her last memory would be a fight. 2. How is an unconscious person going to pick up a phone? Again, assumptions kill people (looks at korean government). 🙄 3. Likely course of action would be the son/or someone who has seen the son, contacting HER (not the other way round). So the assumption was kind of reasonable, although she still should have called afterwards. I mean, 3 hours passed, how has she not called by this time.

So, they lack the courage to say something about the situation, scared to be blamed or being wrong. They won't even tell someone about their OWN abusive situation. I'm not saying what she did was right, but it still all goes down to the decades-long trauma that forced them to make such mindless decisions. I feel bad for everyone involved, except the son.

It’s blows my mind how many evil, cruel, gruesome, disgusting “people” are in this world. My cousin was a front line firefighter who went to fight some of the biggest fires. He was sent to California a few years back when nearly the entire state was on fire. He has been sent all over the country since he’s front line, and he has some trauma from some of his buddies dying in fires, and he’s nearly lost his life a few times also. He’s saved so many people from burning buildings, houses, parks, etc. The pay was literally nothing, literally got no money at all for the very first year which is ridiculous and pathetic. These people are risking their lives to save others and can barely afford living costs. For hero’s who save people deserve a special place in heaven and for psycho killers who end lives of these hero’s deserve a very horrific place in hell.

I know... my father was a firefighter before and my mom basically made an ultimatum for him to find another job, when she gave birth to third child (me). I remember him saying that payment was low, but he finds it's fair since he didn't have education and firefighters don't require to have one. He would always bring himself down because of it, though I find my dad one of the most hard-working and self-disciplined people in my life.

I see many comments saying that you were “exaggerating” and “over dramatic” in this video, but i don’t understand. It’s so refreshing to see that a true crime channel actually has some emotion and gives a large portion of the video to speak about the people that passed. It’s lovely that you can hear you on the brink of tears, and that you took extra care on mentioning all of their personalities. They were people, real people. Hearing their stories isn’t exaggerating, and putting emotion in her voice isn’t being dramatic. Thank you Stephanie for bringing a story like this to light, and for showing how truly you cared about this case, especially because many often don’t. ❤️

This is literally horrifying. Sending prayers to the firefighters who valiantly gave their lives and their families who surely miss them terribly. Like you were saying, people like that are just built different. To be so selfless even when it goes against your human nature to preserve yourself, to risk your lives like that for someone you’ve never met, even though you KNOW with certainty that the house is going to fall down. These are remarkable people, too good for this world.
