@ When I was around 11-12, and my cousin was 14, we made a cement batter and put it on a guy’s truck. We thought it was funny. The day after, we saw the guy talking to my older brother (was around 20 yo) that some mischievous kids had done this to his car and that it needed painting again. We quietly snuck away as neither my brother nor the guy knew that it was the two of us who did it. After a while, I told my brother and he told me that what I did was wrong and asked me how I’d feel if someone did that to our dad. I felt so ashamed back then. So yeah, you can do crazy things at that age and later when you grow up you realize that you F’ed up.

[@catwhisperer2736]

I agree. I think the reason she said it was during the interrogation of this kid, the detective questioning him kept saying, “I really think you just panicked.” I think that is where that idea came from. She was drawing from what was said during the interrogation. She (the grandma) was truly instrumental in getting this kid to confess. She didn’t try to make any excuses for him. She didn’t try to defend any actions. She didn’t try to get him to quit talking. She was truly devastated by what he did to this poor woman. To me, the grandma is also a victim. Not to the same extent as the 91-year-old. Not even close. However, imagine finding out your son or grandson committed a heinous act like this! I think she is conflicted inside over knowing that her grandson has 2 sides. One side is the grandson she knows and loves on a level that no one else does. On the other side is the sexual predator who violently assaulted a vulnerable 91-year-old woman who had befriended the boy. I can’t imagine the emotional trauma something like this would cause. I’m sure she blames herself to a certain extent as well. At the end of the day, it is nobody’s fault but his. He is responsible. He is a monster, and no amount of prison time, therapy, or love will change that. If given half a chance, he will offend again. Thank God the Judge gave him a lengthy sentence. You can tell he feels nothing about the situation. Very disturbing.

I'm sorry but this kid just does not look "normal" to me. He is a "bad machine." Some people are born bad. Ya ya I know the usual excuses. No father figure, poor parenting, etc. Hey a lot of us grew up with no real father figure & were verbally & physically abused but we don't go around attacking seniors or anyone one. The dear old woman is lucky that she wasn't killed. This kid should never get out IMO .

[@anitacraighead7038]

Not born bad, chose bad. We all have free will to choose.

[@Terry_1111]

Sounds like his caretaker is not taking responsibility for the boy's actions. To her, he is a model child who made bad decision, "panicked" and is a "good person." She is full of crap; this boy needs a jail, not sympathy at this point in his life. There is no cure for sexual predators.

[@sharonlyon6512]

His defence, he was only 14 at the time, asking for leniency.. Might have only been 14, but old enough to commit the crime, and charged accodingly

[@oftenshawn2677]

The more she talks, the less sympathy I feel

[@jameshall915]

Grandma is very immature.

[@abelis644]

Wait... WHAT? Her son, his Dad, introduced him to porn in grade 4? Is that man in prison??? What is her family's problems???

[@Boyhead1973]

He violated her trust. He studied her. Preyed on her trust. He was addicted to 'prn' and i can understand his grandmother really looking for someone else to blame (his momma, daddy, counselor etc) but girl, his prn choices involved elderly women. So, this sickness was in him. And the fact he used a pillow to silence her was scary. He could have ended her life. At 14, he's dangerous.

[@Sandy-j9b4x]

Total predator. Could turn into a serial rapist or killer. Rape is a crime of violence not sex

[@veronicahoey191]

Grandmother needs help

[@FIONA21ful]

Poor Grandma is in way over her head & shes doing her viciously disturbed grandson no favours up there. Stop talking woman.

[@rainbows9060]

how depraved is this kid. he is a complete danger.

[@wesner326]

All that I hear is excuses from his Grandmother

[@YarnKilla54]

Of course he’s sorryright now, he’s in Florida and Florida has no mercy. He will also for whatever sentence he’s about to receive.. they don’t let people out early in Florida. Death penalty has also been reinstated people better wake up

[@winsome6705]

25 years, he'll be 39 when he's out

[@peppercat8718]

He'll still be young, stronger and even more dangerous !

[@higherstandard710]

They said no internet! 😆 in 25 years we will have something way different the way ai is taking over!

[@Scorpio-tn4vy]

If he makes it out.​@@peppercat8718

[@ALsoul13-z3m]

And register as grandma ofender ,old woman in the neighborhood scare 😱 😂😂😂

[@RobinHood_62]

I don't think he'll survive

[@MandyMorae]

Grandma doesn’t want to admit that this boy is a rapist. She will make every excuse. 4:49

[@Список_Швондера]

There is evil in this world which cannot be justified by any excuse.

[@BlackSouixie]

He panicked so he raped someone….make that make sense. This grandmother is delusional. You shouldn’t rely on the school to get your grandson counseling….you could have, no you SHOULD HAVE , gotten him help outside of the school. You’re making excuses for sociopathic behavior.

[@patiencehoughton1915]

Good old granny,puts him in more doo doo with her narrative and blaming the father for the grandson,what a messed up granny

[@ccziv]

This turns my stomach. This pitiful woman has an excuse for everything. Look, if one of *my* children had committed such a vile crime, I’d be a witness for the prosecution.

[@debbieulrich5645]

He does that awful thing at fourteen , he is truly sick and evil

[@mechmany2k]

I bet grandma would have the complete opposite opinion, if she had been the victum... Unbelievable...

[@diannamartinez8942]

His prison mates will teach him how to respect his elders.

[@SaltyPureblood-187]

He will self delete

[@IrishAnnie]

He will never “ Grow out of it”. This kid is dangerous. Who would be next?

[@wuncieadams1352]

Whoever said he was very helpful in the neighborhood, is not in the real world, delusional, naive, and so on. He is helpful in the neighborhood because he is continually scoping the neighborhood for possible victims. He should get life in prison without parole.

[@monicacollins8289]

If this young monster is freed, his actions will only escalate.

[@ApolloFreya]

Little monster the grand mother needs to take a look in the mirror defending that. He will find out what it’s like in jail

[@BLUEGREEN65]

I’m so sick when lawyers use the excuse that the criminal has no prior criminal record! So if someone doesn’t have a criminal past and they go out and rape or murder, they should just be let go because they never did it before??? Utterly ridiculous!!!!!!!

[@lynnkayee1015]

OR never got caught before. As a recovering addict, who works with addicts in recovery, it's amazing how many people can break the law daily for decades and never get caught. I never stole, but I did buy/use drugs from 12 to mid 20's and I have no record.

[@rollacosta41]

I absolutely cannot stand this excuse. It’s not even a legitimate excuse in my opinion, just some desperate BS that lawyers say.

[@dianapaxton6373]

Why is it everyone else’s fault that he didn’t get help?

[@margaretriley7565]

He knows why he did it. He targeted her. He can’t control his impulses and lost empathy for others. He will do this again. He needs supervision and not to be roaming around at night. Stop blaming others. Sad situation. Stop making excuses for.

[@DMJ160]

Excuses, poor parenting, no parenting, people making babies and don’t want resposibilty or can’t provide it. Just pathetic all the way around.

[@gem8225]

He will be out in 10 yrs guaranteed. Lock your doors.

[@peppercat8718]

👀

[@suzanneflowers2230]

Remember 2A also

[@Noneyun]

Doubtful that happens. Probably will succumb to crimes similar to his in lock up.

[@lucasmoore8801]

This is Florida. No Parole. He has to do all his time.

[@rolo1955]

Assuming he doesn't get prison justice first!

[@charlottewheeler9589]

This kid needs to be locked away

[@leighdavis9522]

25-year sentence.

[@mzcarmen1677]

His grandma is just full of excuses!! Disgusting!! Sadly this is the state of the US now. Grandparents raising their grandkids.

[@kathybrem880]

She saw the pictures of this poor old woman’s severe injuries

[@Unbothered92]

He is not remorseful, that level of sexual deviance is not acceptable or normal. And you cant just rehabilitate someone like that back into society. Now idk what trauma he dealt with as a child but it is absolutely disgusting that his grandmother finds excuses for his actions. That boy is unhinged and a danger to society. But then again what hope do i have in trusting the judicial process, the whole system is flawed.

[@shelbyhunkler9259]

Wow, a school counselor not being available is the cause of this poor little boy's sick crime. It's everybody else's fault, isn't it? This innocent old lady could have easily died and then little baby boy would be facing a murder rap. But it still would not have been his fault, right? This is the most dangerous kind of criminal. In non-medical parlance...a sick puppy.

[@kellischneider3255]

The grandmother needs to be held accountable also!!

[@Brian-rl1yw]

Man thats some desperate crap. And to harm a defenseles old lady. Your time in prison will be much worse in prison.

[@gaylavogel4335]

Future Ted Bundy. Terrifying.

[@jpmnky]

All the videos I watched are of people trying to explain away why he did this. If he’s capable of this at 14…..
