Bodycam Footage Reveals 10 Year Old Killer

This never-before-seen body camera footage reveals the moments a 10 year old killer is caught.

[@annehorrigan570]

Perfect example of parental failure. Also as a side note, it's not unusual for an abusive parent to select just one of their children to be the subject of their awful parenting. Nor is it unusual for the unabused siblings to not be able to recognize what's happening around them. Toxic.

[@Ellie_Stark]

Yes. In my family My brother was the first born and treasured by my mother. My sister was the baby and treasured for that. I was the middle child and was worthless. I was the first daughter and my dad doted on me for a while, which ironically made my mother hate me. She had some strange jealousy thing going on that she seemed to think i was trying to steal my dad from her. She made the first 18 years of my life a living hell. I have learned that it's a thing sometimes for women to be jealous of their first daughters. Day after my 18th bday I moved 100 miles away to break free but still kind of felt under the thumb somehow. I have cPTSD and a long list of mental health issues to juggle thanks to the torture she put me through. Gas lighting is brutal. I only managed to finally feel free when she died last year and i felt guilt for a while for feeling free instead of grief. As soon as the little boy was so calm about what he'd done, my first thought was wondering what his situation at home had been. It's so sad on all sides.

We had guns in the house when I was growing up, and they were always loaded. We all knew they were loaded and never to mess with them in the house. My friends came over and we never fooled with firearms, because they had been taught right, too. But we were normal; this kid was not. If I was his dad he would not have access to a gun, but I can see him knifing someone instead. Or even just beating someone to death when he got a little bigger. Glad I never had a kid or grandkid like that. I am 77 years old and still have guns. If someone breaks in I sure can't win a fistfight.

I can not thank you enough for the captioning done across all channels. As a hard of hearing viewer, your content is some of the only videos like this I can watch because of the captions. Almost no other channels caption this type of content. EDIT: A lot of responses are coming from well meaning people saying most youtube videos have CC. While this is technically correct, that would be auto generated CCs, as someone that does turn them on and use them on every video they're available(unless the creator has supplied their own CC) they are spotty at best. If you would like to experience what I mean, turn on auto generated captions for this video and experience how in the first 20 seconds autoCC does not recognize speech is occurring during the 911 call. So if EWU had not included the words on screen, I would not know a single thing that was said during that part and I assume it would be like that throughout the rest of the video. AutoCC is great if there is minimal noise outside of the person speaking, however in many cases autoCC is simply awful.

I'm fairly certain the mother was hoping he'd use it on himself and it backfired. It's exceedingly common for women who experience spousal abuse to turn against their own sons, especially if said son was a result of one of those relationships. The kid then becomes a danger to women, creates life with someone he's covered in bruises, and that ends up starting the cycle of hate all over again.

[@saborwolf]

In areas like this it's not uncommon for parents to get their children a .22 at around this age. I had one, my mother's neighbor got their kid a .22 for christmas when he was around 12.

That's the thing that's hard, you can't explain those things to people without them minimizing it and saying "Oh so you're just mad that your parent told you to do chores boo-hoo." They're incapable of perceiving the severity of emotional abuse. The reality is parents like this would smack you upside the head and smash your most cherished possessions because you didn't make your bed in the morning. A kid tries to talk to a professional about their parent screaming at them for the tiniest of mistakes and it's blown off as a parent being strict and a child being disobedient. That's the issue. You CAN'T be obedient, no matter how hard you try, it's NEVER good enough. It's a persistence and escalation issue that they always fail to understand. People describe this kid as a sweetheart everywhere else because that's the thing, his obedience is way more than enough for most people, and it's a coping mechanism that was beat into him to try to appease his mother as much as possible.

They ALL knew why it happened. Even his dad. If there is any fault here, it lies with them for not reporting it and acting sooner. Hope Joey one day recovers and though he is kept in confinement for his own psychiatric wellbeing, at least he does not face serious charges.

Usually the people who abuse their kids psychologically don´t realize how much it hurts their children. Often times it´s about stuff that adults won´t bother at all just because they are independent and can just walk away and go on with their lives. Children often don´t have many options but to accept stuff because they have to stay with their parents.

I’m the only one of their 5 kids who survived them. All my siblings are addicts, didn’t raise their kids, and they’ve all been both incarcerated and institutionalized. I reached my breaking point at 17… had my Dad on his knees with my Mom begging me not to do it as she stood there with her face bloody from just being beaten. She was just as much to blame for not leaving him but I was a kid and couldn’t understand their abuse was 50/50. I thought it was us kids and my Mom against my father. Nope. It was us against the both of them which I leaned through extensive therapy which I sought when I left home at 19. I’ve been exactly where this kid went…but I just didn’t have the nerve.

I know that for me, the hardest thing after our separation was speaking about her honestly. I was and STILL am afraid to talk about things from my past with her. While in the relationship and during the ten years after leading up to me finally being able to obtain custody, I was seen as the lier, the abuser, I was known by so many people as a dead beat who used drugs and beat women . I feel actual fear telling people about who she actually was because so many people have sat right there and listened only to later sit in a court room and tell a judge that im just a manipulator or spiteful. Or I'd hear from someone else how they'd said something along those lines. My kids lived with her through so much, she had so many people under her thumb, for ten years I would go for emergency custody after she'd dropped the kids off and disappeared from earth for a month, two months. I tried 5times to pull the kids out of state custody, moved entire states twice, only to watch the kids go back to her. Even after things like my son telling his teacher his mom threw knives at him, or the time someone saw their mother posted an add on Craigslist asking anyone to come take the kids for a while to give her a break. My kids vanished from my life for three years, no news on them at all. Finally I was informed by Florida state socal services that they were taken again, and this time I was surprisingly taken seriously as a father.

Not for me though, because during the beginning of my custody battle I was not informed straight away that I was only fighting for custody of my daughter, and needed to prove I was my son's father in order to fight for him. This was because I was only able to sign my daughter's birth certificate, and not my sons. Regardless once I found this out (as ludicrous as this may sound, it was some 9months into the court proceedings beforei learnedfor the first time i needed to provideproof i was my sons dad), I was able to provide proof of this through a past DNA test and child support orders. The state where I live performed a home study though, that home study was done for only my daughter. While the caseworker was inside of my home, through talking she discovered that both of my children will be moving up here with me, so she put in her documentation and paperwork that the home study was going to be performed for two children, therefore my home passed the home study for two children to move in with me. This home study went back to florida, (where the kids were living), i went back to court for several more months until eventually i "won" and my children moved up to live with me. and now 10 months later I learned that my son might, maybe, be removed from my home pending a new home study!!! Somehow some way they screwed up, and they do not care that New York Social Services said my home is okay for two children, that because their documents stated the home study was for one child, even though New York says it's good for two children I probably need a new home study done. Social services was supposed to be out of my life over 4 months ago. They were supposed to begin visiting my home the first month my kids moved here, 10 months ago. Instead they never showed up after my kids moved in with me. Not for 6 months, so when finally they did show up that's when the court started their 6 months visitation. Now it's been 10 months my children have lived with me, I should be on one of my last visits with the caseworker coincidentally tomorrow, but instead I'm going to have to continue to deal with social services until this new home study can be performed, all the while running the risk of them randomly removing my Son temporarily. Another big issue I have with this, is all I have ever done is try to be there for my children. I've never broken the law, do not drink alcohol or use drugs, I'm a contractor who owns his own business, own my own home, and have done nothing but attempt to have a life with my children and I have had to deal with social services for over 2 years,( between Court and the kids living with me it's almost). Every time I think I'm done with them, they find a new excuse to leech on to Our Lives. like they just can't let me go and can't let us move forward with our lives. That makes me so upset so often just the thought of it and I go on these long tangents online LOL

The abuse Joey suffered is clear. There are so many layers to this. I can sympathize with Joey and his abusive mother. You have a woman who was clearly mentally unstable. In my opinion, it seems like there's more on the surface when they all mention how she was unusually crueler to Joey. I wonder if she sustained some type of trauma that was causing her to lash out more at her son. It seemed as though the relationship with her daughter was somewhat normal... 10 years in a cage being poked at seems awful to imagine.

My mother was incredibly abusive growing up. There had been two times when I almost ended her life. Once when I put a pillow over her face while she was drugged out on the couch sleeping. The second when her friends dumped her at my grandmother's while she was overdosing, my grandmother woke me up so I could come see her while she was purple, foaming from the mouth, and convulsing. She then asked me -- a child -- whether or not we should even call an ambulance, whether I thought it would be worth saving her. It hurts my entire being to know children can feel so desperate for their terrible situations to stop that they kill their parent(s).

Just to be clear: I am saying that my children will not have unfettered access to weapons in their bedrooms. I am not saying that we will not teach them how to shoot and to responsibly handle weapons when they show an interest (and we think they can handle it). And all weapons in our house will continue to stay locked up at all times. My dad took me hunting when I was 13 but before we went he took me to a hunter’s safety course.

Exactly, NO child, anyone under 18 should be allowed free access to a weapon. They don't have the judgment to understand the consequences, friends can access whatever they have.

My son just turned 21, never shot a gun, we don't have one or know anybody that does. We don't hunt so why would we own a gun?

I'm 43 and to this day I'm single, struggle to bond with people and develop intimate and trusting relationships, and for years I thought love was just sleeping with someone. I'm always waiting on the other shoe to drop. I was in my late 30''s before I realized that normal families actually hug each other and miss each other. I always thought that shit was fake, when I would see it in a movie or on TV. It would make me sick to my stomach to see it. I always thought "WTF is this? That's not how families are." I can't even ask a woman out because of a crippling fear of rejection. My family gets along well now, but we all clearly have our issues because of the toxic environment we grew up in. A supposedly Christian household.

I’m so sorry you had to go through that. No one deserves to be treated like that. I hope you can start to find some peace in life soon. 💛

[@mjremy2605]

I am sorry you are going through this. I had a father like this too. My mother was a saint and a loving parent fortunately, but my father would fly into an alcoholic rage and beat us even as small kid. I left the country and my family to come to the US to be as far from them as possible. One time as an adult in the US and homesick with no family here and in my 20's, I heard a small child in the checkout lane, ask him mother for some candy. She said, 'Sure honey!' and promptly bought it. I started to cry, I still don't know why. It was so kind of her and I never had that kind of validation or response in my childhood. I felt so sad and small then. It cripples you for decades. There is so much fear of rejection in relationships and abandonment issues, and more. I understand what you are going through to some degree. Stay strong. One thing that helped me, was to join a karate group. It gets the anger out. There is always a deeply buried continuous source of anger and this vents it out. It is so cathartic.

[@DogesMemeFactory]

This is why you don’t give a kid a f*cling gun. But I guess no one will learn their lesson from this.

[@TheCrashley1772]

Many kids have guns. A .22 is nothing but a high powered BB/pellet gun. In rural America, it is very common. You don't hear about things like this all the time, do you.....

[@NukeisAfriKaner]

"He went into his room, retrieved a firearm..." America summed up in one sentence. What a mess.

[@annethew9256]

I grew up with an abusive mother. When i finally left, everyone was shocked that i did. To them, she was an angel. The truth? She would hit me with frying pans, and she stabbed me in the shoulder. I had one of my friends tell me "im surprised you didnt kill her" and a few other friends agreed. It's crazy how abusive homes go so far unnoticed by everyone else. Adults dont believe kids.

[@shockmazta3116]

A lot of you people have never been to the South, huh? In Texas, Florida, New Mexico, etc, there's at least 10 guns for every person. It's common place, and not surpising in the least.

[@Unpopularopinion1960]

@@shockmazta3116 I live in the south. Just because firearms are everywhere doesn’t negate the fact a 10 year old got to so easily. The point is, it’s a 10 year old so all the weapons in the house should be locked or hidden.

Am I the only one who is fcking confused over how a 10 year old has weapons in his room??

[@resilientsoulmomma]

💔I feel terrible for that little kid. I too have an almost 10 year old . My family and I went through the worst traumatic and horrific event anyone can ever endure ... almost four years ago. And we are left with many physiological effects due to what happened. What use to be regular spurs of anger are now intensified. What I'm trying to say is that this boy endured humiliation, verbal abuse, constant arguing and rage. By who needed to protect him and comfort him and love him the most. Regardless of what she as his mom is going through. He is the child that she herself is hurting and degrading constantly!! How is a child not suppose to explode?! I don't agree to a point of killing their mother, but there will be intense lash backs sooner than later. I hope he is being helped the right way and can later in life can be integrated into society and live a normal life with those who can offer him a stable loving home.❤❤❤

[@healingandgrowth-infp4677]

No child kills a parent. Period. I was in that situation. Where is everyone getting the abusive bad parent from. She told hi. To do his chores n he was disrespectful n did not obey. N thot it easier to kill her.

[@vee3497]

What did you go thru that was the worst anyone can go thru?

[@theresahenderson3534]

Having to endure humiliation and abuse of any kind from those who suppose to love you and keep you safe makes you feel abandoned even though you are living with them. As soon as possible you seek to leave or on Joey's case end it because you can only take so much. I know I was that kid.

@@vee3497 I'm sorry but please never say "my family and I went through the worst dramatic and horrific event anyone can ever endure" That Is wrong on so many levels and not okay. You don't get to decide if your trauma is worse than other people's trauma. You don't get to. Unless you've been held captive in the room for years on end r@ped and m0l3sted for 10 to 20 years until you escaped after being brutally beaten every day and just wishing you were dead like survivors we've heard of, and other things, you don't get to make it seem like your trauma is worse than others. And it's just completely wrong to say you and your family went through the worst trauma that anybody can ever endure, because that's simply not true. And I'm sorry but it's really rude. You're pretty much deciding anybody else's trauma isn't anywhere near as bad as yours and that makes you a bad person

Imagine allowing a ten year old unfettered access to guns and ammunition. Kids that young have yet to develop the mental capacity to understand that their actions can cause permanent effects for others. Giving them guns is a recipe for disaster.

Honestly seeing and reading so many comments finally with such similar experiences to my own childhood just makes me feel so safe. You truly are never alone Stay strong you beautiful survivors im so damn proud ❤

No. We are not alone. So many people have children they do not want and never intended to love and sadly we all have taken the brunt of that abuse. But I also am happy to see so many survivors of parental abuse thriving. It’s sad to scroll through and see so many who suffered, but it is uplifting to see so many people who have overcome it and are staying strong. 🖤🖤
