Get Outta My Car

The plaintiff claims the defendants’ son dragged her out of her car at a gas station and ran her over during a carjacking. She says the vehicle was badly damaged when she got it back, so she’s suing for repairs, plus pain and suffering. The defendants claim their son was an innocent passenger in the car, so they owe nothing.

While I agree with you for the most part I found the plaintiff’s actions before and after seeing the judge to be a little strange. I know stress reactions can present in a variety of ways but she seemed a little off. I would need to do an in person assessment to get to the root of it though. I also noticed the plaintiff did not ask for any reimbursement for mental health care (past, present, or future) which she could have added on for a larger judgment.

Screw costing the parent! It's going to cost the child the most! I've seen with my own eyes how being the "not my child" type of parent can harm a child their whole life. I would get my child a lawyer so that they can have the best outcome for rehabilitation. Locking the child up isn't the only answer. A young child/teen needs intense counseling of some sort and needs to get involved with youth groups. I've always believed having kids involved in sports, studies, youth groups, and volunteering, 1; keeps them busy; 2 teaches them morals and values; 3 helps build their character. Letting your child sit idle and not choosing who to let them hang around is no good. You can't choose your child's friends, however, you can have a strong influence by putting them in better situations.

When I was 14, I was held at knife point by a group of three men in a stolen car (it was found abandoned several weeks later). They kept saying they had a gun too, but I know they didn't. I was raised and trained to use firearms, so I knew they wouldn't be using a knife if they actually had a gun. I was able to fight off the one trying to pull me into their back seat and eventually managed to slam the car door he was half way out of into his hand/wrist. Out of anger, he lunged at me with the knife but he missed, and before he could retaliate again, a woman pulled up in a car and they fled when they realized there was a witness. I hadn't even realized I was holding a rock ready to strike him had he come at me again. I must have picked it up after falling. When the woman took me to her house to wait for police, I realize I was bleeding and he had in fact cut my arm with the knife. It was a shallow wound. I know exactly how this poor woman feels and I'm happy the perpetrators are being held accountable.

@@lisaparrey1343 I understand how kids are. I was what I thought was what they call bullying, bullied as a kid in elementary school, kids would gang up on me,surround me after school and sometimes even the kids I thought were my friends would be in on the plan. One time I got a big hambone thrown at me by an older kid it knocked me off of the bike I was on and had to get stiches, another time my "friend" flicked a broken beer bottle at me with his hockey stick and got me on the other side and I needed stitches for that too. Kids will be kids, that same kid was in my yard one day and picked up one of our lawn darts ,I was talking with him and another guy. So I didn't pay much attention to what he was doing until after...but now that I now know, he was trying to actually hit me with it. He threw it up into the air then he stood there and watched me and then he would look up and try to gauge the darts distance from me as it apparently was heading down close to me,well all of a sudden it came zinging past my head straight down deep into the lawn. He then said oops. Back then I had no idea he was actually trying to hurt me. But my snap to it ness me 40 or some years later thinking back to all the things this guy whom I thought was a friend, was actually trying to kill me. I'm almost sure of it. Anyway he was standing with the older guy that I had never met before then that threw the bone at me. And I recall several other instances where he was in the crowd as bullies surrounded me to fight. I thought back then that I was protecting him. I wasn't gonna even talk about this when I came here., I was thinking of my older sisters experience with what she called bullies. She thought because the other girls would point and laugh at her dress that that was being bullied, And oh in the washroom they would giggle when she peed and it made a sound when it hit the water.

@@ukmedicfrcs That is true she still does need to get gas, it does not however eliminate the trauma that she faced and the anxiety that may have come from it. There is no price on loss and hurt and Court shows such as these where the ligitants do not pay for their errors makes it worse.

[@melissalsmith883]

exactly… her “not getting gas what’s that about” until you have a stuck in your face don’t try and belittle anyone. It happened to me last year not a fun experience at all!

[@bobbyjefferson1973]

Yes it's very disappointing that she would be that inconsiderate.

[@marlonmalcolm1738]

That dramatic experience the plaintiff deserved way more than that This system breeds criminals 🙄

[@tiedavidson2905]

I hate parents like that mom making excuses for her son. Even with all of the evidence and reports, she's still skirting around the facts.

[@lovablelibra]

Let’s talk about how horrible humanity is, when no on let her use their phone to call for help 😢

[@jasminewashington4391]

I knew she was looking for the son’s identification when she asked about that report. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@niece585]

She's in denial about her son and that will cost her later it's sad it's our own ppl SMDH

[@graylingedwards6108]

If I had stolen a car when I was living at home and was caught with it I would have been begging to stay in jail so my parents couldn't get to me.

[@thale6945]

Exactly!

[@99cachorro]

These kids cost these parents a lot! Know what your kids are doing!

[@edithlewis9330]

He says that he was ONLY the passenger, but instead of STOPPING his friend he actually HELPED his friend. That make him a CRIMINAL!!!!

[@lipsticknpistol]

Can we talk about how the judge didn’t think that this boy had 2 parents? Because black boys don’t have fathers? That was super prejudice.

[@daveybare]

Wait, so the son is involved on another car jacking and she's defending him and minimizing his responsibility?!? Punishment would've been severe if it were my mom. Trust I would've preferred to be in jail than having an ankle bracelet and on house arrest. Actually knowing my mom she would've insisted that I be jailed. Mad respect for my mom for teaching me how to be a responsible man.

[@thizzaintwhatchuwant5823]

Black plantiffs should really STOP going on the PC. They stand a better chance of being treated fairly on Judge Mathis, or at the very least, Judge Judy.

[@mcbthird]

Yes I agree she seems as if she has a problem with black people. Especially with black men, I be like wtf.

[@jillcabler3398]

Damn Damn Damn as Florida Evans would say !!!!

[@loridean177]

I can't believe they don't have better control of their son since they are a two parent home.

[@jessilynntorres4064]

God Bless The plaintiff I pray she will heal from this and she seems like a strong woman.

[@janetperez26]

THAT LADY SHOULD'VE RECEIVED WAY MORE THAN JUST $500 FOR P&S! EVEN JJ WOULD'VE REWARDED HER MORE $ THAN THAT!

[@corazoncubano5372]

She is lucky she got anything for coming to count without medical proof of her injuries.

[@brendahall6745]

I got robbed at gunpoint January 2016, scared thought I wouldn't make it. Gave my car up with all my belongings and ran, when they allowed me. Car was found with the thief's inside. I'm blessed to be alive

[@benxx6965]

I really admire how respectful the defendants and plaintiffs were with each other. They are all so professional and left their own biases out of how they answered the Judge’s questions. Such a sad case involving two parents who, while disappointed, love their son so much and still want to provide the best for their son and try to provide some sort of future for him when he’s finally able to move on from this. Also, a victim that while still experiencing PTSD, is able to speak respectfully in front of one of her perpetrators parents. Sad situation, but justice really was served and it’s rare that both parties are in agreement on it.

[@CarrieRay]

“Reinforce their parenting skills” ??!! That ship is sailed

[@LuzRodriguez-kt2gu]

The mom was well spoken and respectful. Sounds like her son’s just hanging with the wrong crowd

[@nooraalbaloshi5171]

Plus i see her suffering

[@the4cqueen148]

Her son IS THE WRONG CROWD.

[@alyssahamlett]

Wow denial is real..he knew what was happening he's not an innocent victim 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@skrmacs4815]

Huh

[@kaylove7260]

Honestly, if she doesn’t stop defending her sons reckless behavior, he’s gonna end up in prison. Or run up on on someone with a weapon permit 😕

[@richyaintrich]

No sympathy for the parents. That being said, because the mother is dysfunctionally minimizing everything her son was guilty of. I get it’s your kid but he could’ve killed someone and sounds like he tried to at the initial car-jacking... SMH.

[@jennifertaylor3308]

The smirk on that defendants face when JM announces the judgement is sickly! The mom defendant needs to learn the work ACCOUNTABILITY!!

[@evelynlanahan9053]

That’s a parent nightmare. Feel bad for both parties.

[@34stzoo]

Their son will end up in prison... It's clear they're trying to minimize his actions. If that was my son that was caught with the car and didn't actually steal it, I would have him pay for all her damage and have him do all the leg work to recoup his money back from the real theft. It's clear the parents aren't taken the proper steps to help this woman become whole.

[@carlanthony2488]

Both Mothers conducted themselves very civil. The Mother and son were genial. Let them steal the car, it's material and can be replace.

[@xviper84]

The mother's reaction and lack of empathy is a direct driver of the son's behavior and the company he keeps.

[@wendolynbenefield2705]

Sad this mother will not stop defending her child. Some responsibility is needed.

[@Vanessa_Martinez]

The plaintiff acts slow. Girl nobody asked you do you know their names. She asked did you identify her son. Then she gone say I wasn't there they told me to come get my car. Duhhhh we know you wasn't there!! She don't know sht about her case.

[@nybsbfan18]

I noticed the defendant's dh/dad didn't say anything. I hope the son got punished!

[@deetheefoodie]

He seems absent. That’s why he can’t say anything, he can’t even speak to his own son’s character. But let me keep watching 🤣

[@laurasaw6933]

He's in jail.

[@clwilson7318]

Maybe the father's silence was the best thing for him and his family. The important thing was that he was there.

[@Kaxxonxbox]

I got attacked by a dog when I was 17 and I was so traumatized and I was diagnosed with PTSD for the next 7 years of my life I wouldn’t go near any dogs, even my own 2 dogs I’ve grown up with I wouldn’t want to be around. Only reason It got better was when I started to accept my fear and confront it. You can’t judge a person based off of seeing them for 20 minutes. Not everyone “acts” like you think they should. I don’t discount her emotional state. I’d smile and giggle uncontrollably when I’d be near a dog. That’s how my body would react with anxiety when I was in a situation where I couldn’t avoid being near a dog.

[@jusfrethenarrator3120]

I would do both, defend my child but also make him pay for the crime he partakes in. Her child was wrong & he needs to be punished.

[@Evveffentide]

Parents making excuses for their children is one of the worst things a parent could ever do to their child and society

[@66jlunsford]

She acts as if it’s her money on every case.

[@lisaparrey1343]

there are rules she has to comply with to make each case consistent with others. She can't just feel like she deserves it because she says so. How would you feel if you had to pay for something for someone they didn't prove and you knew was a lie. Its about the law and she is the one that has to comply with it like everyone else. The money is in normal circumstances, tax payer money and although the TV stations pays an appearance fee, they still have to comply with law

[@atirania]

As soon as she said Wisconsin I knew. In Milwaukee all they do is steal cars, it’s a huge problem and I know she truly is traumatized. This happened a while ago, it’s worse now.

[@janedougherty3187]

Couldn't watch this. Plaintiff thought that the whole thing was funny. Why did she sue? It seems like she loved it 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@sjyoungbloodsj]

Exactly

[@mel...s]

So weird. Some ppl smile and laugh inappropriately. I avoid those ppl

[@victoriaberryhill5318]

Its called nerves. She is nervous

[@mel...s]

@@victoriaberryhill5318 and it unnerves me😖

[@TOOTIELUV87]

When they lift the wrong hand 🤚🏾 at the beginning be tripping me OUT 😂😂😂😂

[@jusmejaussyb8237]

Why did the plaintiff avoid the question about identifying the defendants son?! I wanted her to put it in their face! Plaintiff seems so nervous, poor thing.

[@sharianmays2275]

She doesn't know their names. She just pointed out who she saw.

[@aroha4154]

It’s so weird when someone smiles when they are supposed to be in duress

[@sweet_tee_vibes]

Why does she have to prove that she's still hurting 🙄 she literally went over the damn car. Her son is sad af and she needs to move

[@DWilliam1]

Did the plaintiff even know she was going to court? Completely unprepared. The other mom is making excuses for her criminal son, which she will most likely have to do many more times.

[@reginaldmartin6947]

The people’s court ripped this lady off. Was not worth it to go to television court.

[@3vrodriguez]

A mother making excuses for her son. “Oh but Officer, my son is a good person” 😏 you’re part of the problem lady.

[@nylanelson5212]

Unbelievable that the mom covers up for their car stealing son. At the end of the video the mom has the audacity to say there was 2 cars he stole & another victim after saying all through the trial her son didn’t steal the plaintiffs car. The parents just Don’t want to pay money to the plaintiff for her crashed car

[@yodalayheehoo5447]

Plaintiff trying to keep a straight face during intro🤣🤣

[@aprilpinkelton4385]

All women should carry!! It's one of the best things I could have done for myself. I carry it visible on my hip! To deter the bull!

[@aprilpinkelton4385]

If you do decide to carry, practice often and work out to keep your arm muscles strong. Nothing crazy just add reps into your day 5-8lb weights. Possibly 2lbs would do.

[@michellejohnson1298]

There you go.
