Psychologist Details Aiden Fucci's "Unusual" Fantasies & Trauma

[@TheRight-handedStranger]

It’s strange that his girlfriend was afraid he stay at her home after he said he can kill her in her sleep, but didn’t take him seriously when he said he is going to kill someone this month. Was she waiting first to see if he really acts on his threats then decide whether or not to believe him? I am not saying she is to blame, I just hope teenagers and young adults take this kind of threats seriously and tell someone responsible.

[@simaturna9765]

Listen to the end

[@sarey-sz1pq]

Your point is valid. I would just challenge that by adding she is a victim as well. She was in an abusive relationship. I would bet she feared her life as well and might have been frightened of the consequences of saying something. Sometimes what seems simple to an outside perspective has more complexity and angles. Girlfriend is a domestic abused victim.

[@jenniferlynn3537]

I’m with fluffball. I can easily imagine a scenario where his girlfriend takes his fantasies and threats EXTREMELY seriously, advises a responsible adult - and when Aiden is confronted about his statements, he claims he was kidding or denies saying it at all. He hasn’t done anything yet - so there’s no proof he ever would have killed - and faces no consequences. But even if punished, he’ll have been in public again - with one difference: Aiden then has a score to settle with the girlfriend. So guess who becomes his prime target? I really can’t fathom acting any differently than she did.

[@denisec425]

Exactly what I was saying. Kids need to know if it’s not normal talk or actions they need to talk an adult and it could save lives

This shows he knew exactly what he was doing.

I definitely think childhood trauma can shape the actions of an individual BUT many of us have been through so much and have never dreamed of killing someone let alone doing it at 14! Something in his brain is not wired right.

[@ChubbyKittyMeow]

He’s psychopath. Simple as is

[@ktermalkut8332]

depends on what you focus on. He was focused on horror movies with blood and gore and killing people and expressed his fantasies of murder and even expressed how he would do it. Possession of people by demonic spirits that can take control of an individual even a child, is very real though it does not fit into the western intellectual narrative. Fucci needs DELIVERANCE from the demons controlling him in The NAME OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. NO religion including christianity can help. We are to seek a Personal Relationship with THE LORD GOD The LORD JESUS CHRIST as He wills - John 17. Matthew 23:8-10 tells us that He alone is Our Teacher. He will protect and guide those who seek Him with a sincere heart - there is no other way!

I had a crazy traumatic childhood and rough early adulthood but Ive never once considered hurting another human. I think people are born this way.

[@PEM-zt5rd]

Me too... aftwr all that I even have an unusual love for animals and general feeling of wanting to protect the weak... this case with Aiden and his behaviour is not a result of childhood trauma, poverty, abuse or neglect. I also do believe its genetic. Aiden was born with this capacity combined with the fact that at a young age he did drugs on top of that... really accelerated his negative mental condition. There are tons of cases where youth and drugs result in suicide...but like the doctor says... its very peculiar and unique that it results in such a brutal level of bizarre and evil act of merciless long lasting and close range murder. Its not impulsive... he thrives in it. He used his hands during the process... repeatedly. 114 stabs + the act of overpowering his victim during the attack until his desire was fulfilled.

[@angelasimpson4980]

Some parents have done ALL THEY KNOW TO DO and then some. They have sought mental health professions and searched the world over for resources qualified to help their troubled teen only to hit wall after wall! Not familiar with this case or what his parents did/did not do or what his environment or childhood was like, but I know all too well that sometimes parents canNOT get the assistance - from professionals or even law enforcement ~ to help them with a situation with a child where they feel like they have totally exhausted ALL avenues of help for their troubled child that is available to parents! Sorry! I just get a little defensive of those who have never dealt with a “troubled child” judging ALL parents of troubled teens/children in some of their comments. Until we walk a mile in someone else’s shoes we can NOT even begin to imagine the hell some parents in this type situation have lived with or lived thru or are living in and do not know where else to seek help for their child! Please be slow to judge and blame ALL parents w a troubled children without fully knowing their individual situations. This case is so horrific I canNOT believe prosecutors did not seek the death penalty! I assume that was due to Florida law; or laws in US wrt minors! My heart bleeds for this girl’s family! There is NO pain = to that of loosing a child for any reason, but to have a child’s life cut short by such a BEYOND heinous act from a motive from what little I have read thus far seems to be bc this demon-possessed child wanted to know what it felt like to kill someone is beyond my comprehension of pain! May God comfort them as no one else can! We all need to welcome God into our lives and heart and pray for those who are in such troubling situations. Sorry - didn’t mean to get on a soapbox! 😵‍💫

And if he is not stopped now by prison, he will kill again.

[@AaronKraftCreative]

I am fairly certain that part of what makes a child capable of committing such a horrifying act IS the parent's influence or lack thereof in their day-to-day life. His parents did something to create this monster, whether knowingly or unknowingly, I promise you that his parents can be classified as "bad parents". Just how bad, may never be revealed, but I promise they were not responsible parents and that's not an excuse for his crime, but kids with responsible, involved parents do not turn into monsters.

[@jocelynhunter2359]

I had a feeling when I first saw this case that we would get to see what a serial killer looks like in his youth and this confirmed that for me. I think we were lucky he started so young when he was too naive and full of youthful ego to cover his tracks properly. Devastating for Tristan but I'm glad he was stopped at one.

[@CosmicCourtOfLaw]

My thoughts exactly. He would have killed again and again for pleasure. All lives - human and animal - are safer with him removed from society.

People think psychopaths are serial killers but it's almost always the sociopaths, and it's their parents who turn them into sociopaths, usually when the child is young (before kindergarten), and it's the emotional abuse and emotional neglect that usually does it. The spree murderers and mass murderers are also created by their parents, but they're malignant narcissists, which is a sociopath, but who is high in narcissistic, sadistic, and paranoid traits.

I had a crappy childhood and I'm currently having a crappy adulthood and never once did I think to stab somebody over 100 times!

His mother tampered with evidence. He pretended to be insane in prison on coincidentally on camera and that happened to be the only time he experienced a "break from reality" and he dropped the act immediately after mental health professionals pointed out the linkelyhood of his symptoms being genuine since he had never in his life experienced anything remotely similar before.

His performance at the police station after he was caught was ridiculous and manipulative. One teacher calls him a punk. This kid told friends exactly what he wanted to do, kill someone to see what it's like. So, now he knows and will more than likely never get out of prison. It's a shame that no one thought to say something about his plans, maybe it would have spared poor Trystins life. The amount of defensive stab wounds the girl had, my God, she fought for her life. This kid was raging inside, and although he showed signs of planning extreme violence by expressing it verbally, yet again, they thought he was fooling around.

There is no explanation for this. This also shows how much he has not been taught the value of the sanctity of life. To him, it was all just a lot of moves. But, he knew he had to deny what he had done. However, he didn't really put effort into it for a long time. As if he didn't want to be free. Single-minded, no fear, just existing, functioning, indifferent. It was logical that he fled the scene, but he is apparently disinterested in the court hearing, because he does not realize what he has done. And, as the expert tells us what his behavior is like inside, we know that he invariably shuts out all emotions and continues to behave abnormally. Everyone is driven by something, from within, that they have learned, which is reason, emotion, and a mixture of the two, but we don't see that here, because it doesn't exist. If he was really touched by what is happening to him, against him, then we would see a worried expression on his face, but we don't see that here, because he doesn't have it in him either, but the reason for this is that he was never taught to do that. A lost soul found by demons and brought here. Everything has a cause and effect. It's strange to us because what he does is far from us, even though we know this behavior, although we don't use it. What drives a human soul to do evil, is a dimension known only to those who have already entered it. The conscience, the fear of doing wrong, the fear of prison, the loss of our freedom, and the known, learned moral consciousness, the deliberate will and striving for goodness, the sure awareness of this, the reassuring and protective boundaries of common sense, these are all within us are. Somewhere this child is lost, for whom the parents are responsible, no matter what the child did! The child is the hand that committed the crime, but its parents are the cause, because they were brought up in a negligent manner. I didn't walk the streets at night because my parents looked after me! Education is by far the biggest responsibility that ever exists in this world! It never expires if you cause damage, make an omission, do it negligently!

It´s sad to see that so many juvenille murderers showed signs of disturbng behaviour prior to killing someone. His friends should have told someone about his remarks and I am not even mentioning his parents who failed this society miserably by not noticing their son was a monster. There should be more education about criminal behaviour, especially in connection to mental disorders. Mental illness doesn´t mean someone can become a violent murderer, but when comes to antisocial or narcissistic personality disorder, the risk can be high. Aiden clearly showed antisocial and violent tendencies and no one paid attention even when he literally told them he is going to kill someone. That poor girl would still be alive if people took these things more seriously.

[@rollergirl55]

This psychologist is exceptional. His background, knowledge, experience dealing with normal and violent juveniles is superb. He is an excellent, eloquent professional witness. He is 100% presenting unbiased statistics, accurate factual documented information about Fucci’s educational background and performance in elementary and secondary school. His calm, precise, deliberate, paced manner of speaking is very easy to follow and understand. He is a very effective witness who we deem as expert, highly informed and credible. The prosecuting attorney is sharp, quick witted, relaxed, experienced and knowledgeable about this case. She allows this witness to describe the essence of Fucci by guiding his testimony, not interfering with it, allowing him to fully cover every point he is making. He speaks very simply to the lay audience so he is easily understood. It’s a pleasure to hear the attorney and the psychologist reveal the facts and the meaning behind Fucci’s behaviour and actions. It’s as though they are both engaged in a slow, beautifully choreographed waltz and is a beautiful sight to behold. Excellent job by both professionals. I bet she thought she died and went to heaven having to question this witness. Cross doesn’t stand a chance dismantling his testimony. Good for Team Bailey!

This case with Aiden and his behaviour is not a result of childhood trauma, poverty, abuse or neglect. I do believe its genetic. Aiden was born with this capacity combined with the fact that at a young age he did drugs on top of that... really accelerated his negative mental condition. There are tons of cases where youth and drugs result in suicide...but like the doctor says... its very peculiar and unique that it results in such a brutal level of bizarre and evil act of merciless long lasting and close range murder. Its not impulsive... he thrives in it. He used his hands during the process... repeatedly. 114 stabs + the act of overpowering his victim during the attack until his desire was fulfilled.

I am confused. I too have watched real "gore" videos and images. For example images of Dahmer's victims and videos with cartel executions. But i despise them. I did search for them on my own and without anyone pushing me to do it, but out of curiosity and not to get satisfaction or to invoke any fantasy of mine. I have done that probably 3-4 times the last 30 years, and i am pretty certain that i never revisited any of the material once i saw it. My reaction was a "wtf??!" reaction and not a "wow!this looks awesome" reaction. I despise violence against living beings, especially against a fellow human, but for some reason it interests me. I remember reading about the German cannibal Armin something, and trying to find all material on the case, documentaries etc. So i do have a kind of fixation with extreme crime. I am worried about myself. Everyone says that people who voluntarily search for real gory images need help. But i would only stab a person under extreme circumstances like seeing my mom getting attacked. I would also need to find a knife since i never carry anything pointy other than my keys. I also listen to death metal but i never pay attention to the lyrics. I like the energy of the music, not the silly gory lyrics. Gosh!!! Most people would think that i am a psychopath hiding my true colors..This kid Aidan on the other hand, his actions once inside the prison, show his true colors. The guy will probably murder inmates too. May the family of the victim find their peace somehow. As for Aidan, i am not sure prison is exactly a punishment for him.

[@rollergirl55]

❤😂to Lara O’Neal There is no trauma in childhood that explains psychopathy. Most children of serial killers do not commit violent crimes. It’s a physiological anomaly at birth, an abnormal brain activity in different areas of the brain that are responsible for this pathology. Aiden lied about his upbringing as compared to the rest of his siblings. He was probably resentful that he wasn’t getting all the attention he so desired. He was broken from birth. It took a while for his violence to grow and develop. The older he became, the more aggressive he became. His obsession with wanting to commit stabbings and to verbalize his fantasies repeatedly to friends shows his psychopathic nature. He was warning his friends and also bragging about his desires and plans. This is what is known as a huge red flag.

I’m curious to know whether in these kind of cases, where no remorse or compassion from the perpetrator, there are brain scans conducted to see whether there’s something ‘lacking’, damage to certain areas or tumours etc that may be ‘reason’ for individuals to behave in such away. I’m not looking for excuses, I’m looking for any form of correlation that may help identify potential perpetrators in the future. For instance, if a baby has been shaken and suffered brain damage, or there’s been a severe concussion or undiagnosed TIA (mini-stroke) at some point during childhood would that predispose the person to such horrific crime? So a physiological episode as opposed to psychological make up.? 🤔 🧐

[@marygoff3332]

Not sure about "shaken baby" or a child dropped in infancy, etc if that would predispose a child to have psychopathic behavior later on, but I am certain that psychopaths DO have structurally different brains on MRIs in comparison with normal individuals. Many studies have been done that prove this fact.

Its a VERY common problem that tends to show up around 3rd grade..which evidently is what happened here. Outcomes are poor for boys if they dont get early intervention, but i cant tell you how many times i heard parents refuse to assess their boys because they didnt want them to be "Labeled" (which imho is just code for the parents not wanting to be embarrassed or bothered and its inexcusable). Its not til hormones kick in and self esteem issues are permanently rooted that they try to get help for these boys and by then..at about age 15, its too late.

What is wrong with these kids that were friends with this creep? How did they not get freaked out by what he was saying? I hope someone is getting them psychiatric help! Especially the indifferent girlfriend Sophie! Also, parents check who your kids are hanging out with!

Where were the parents? The breakdown of the family unit is causing, in my opinion, and creating children with many problems.
