I've lived in NYC since 08. I'm very familiar with Jupiter, from seeing him in Times Square, and a couple times in Washington Square park, and this makes my skin crawl. This guy was SO down to earth, and easy to talk to, he even remembered my name, the second time I seen him. This is the closest I have ever been to something like this and though I didn't know the family, I feel angry and lied to. I can only imagine how THEY feel, living in the same building with this monster all this time. They need to go over his life with a fine tooth comb, I find it hard to believe this is an isolated incident.🤬

[@kdadkzg8803]

[@lorimav]

I grew up in those times. I had felt some of my friends had too much responsibility in those days but families were bigger and it was very common to do a lot of chores and believe me the parents were not sitting around doing nothing. Dinner was often made from scratch and for a large family, few convenience foods and take out People often had to care for their elderly parents or neighbors too. I had little brothers and my grandmother came about once a month to help my mother just get caught up. She'd clean and mend clothing and give my mother a break so she could go shopping. At age nine I helped with the care of my infant brother such as diapering etc. and even babysat while he was sleeping while my mother made a quick dash to the supermarket. Rare was a parent that ever washed dinner dishes or mowed the lawns in my neighborhood. The kids did all of that but we still had plenty of time for play and to be kids. Although Miraliz probably had too many responsibilities as the eldest, kids today are given far too few responsibility and as a consequence they are too self focused and unprepared for adult life. Kids that do chores feel part of the family unit and feel a sense of accomplishment when given some responsibility.

[@rmsg7504]

​@@lorimav from what I've seen children given too much responsibility immediately bail and run from their family as soon as they can. Then they grow up to avoid family responsibilities and aren't nice people.

[@lorimav]

@@rmsg7504 Now in days it is really rare to see a child that has been given too much responsibility but in the 60's and 70's I witnessed that. Children given no responsibility is what I see currently which leads to the inability to take on responsibility when they become adults and a very self centered and entitled attitude. A happy medium should be struck instead. I I once asked advice of a woman who was a specialist in childhood trauma and ran a system of group homes and summer camps for fostercare children when besides having my biological children I was about to adopt 3 older children ages 7,9, and 11. Her biggest piece of advice was a little unexpected. I was expecting her to say to have a thick skin and don't take attacks personally, etc.. but she kept on emphasizing the importance of giving age appropriate responsibilities, animal care, food preparation, etc. for building a feeling of belonging and for building self esteem. Where as sending a child to a sweat shop to sew clothes or being put in charge of younger siblings 24/7 might cause them to flee, having them care for pets, help clean common areas, and participate in meal preparation are important for character development and bonding. People have gone from one extreme to another, when the middle is the most beneficial. I am glad my parents let me pick my chores. I generally hated cleaning the house and doing dishes. I chose mowing the lawn, occasionally keeping an eye on the younger children, and the shortest cleaning chore, once a week cleaning the bathroom that only took about 30 minutes. I got out of all of those dishes just because my mother hated cleaning the bathroom so much. My father also appreciated me answering his business phone when he stepped out of his office which also rang into our house. He was very proud of the way I handled those calls and wrote up the messages and I was too. In the end it wasn't much work but it did teach some responsibility and appreciation for what a household needed to function. Also, when I became an adult my parents very much helped me financially and they helped set my brothers up in business. My father is gone but my brothers and I have the privilege of helping my mother out and paying back some of the tremendous help and care our parents gave to us.

[@DA-dt1lt]

Her mother and step father are so weird. It does seem like she was a maid to her family. Her father not seeing her anymore is heartbreaking. How do you not assistance in your child's murder or go to her funeral. That's not normal not to assist. Seems like her childhood friend loves and knew her more than family.

[@elenaarman-tang7811]

Her mother and stepfather probably didn't go to the wake or funeral because they had no clean clothes since the daughter did all the laundry 😤 I'm being sarcastic here, but seriously, how do you not say goodbye to your own child 😢

[@ceeceerenee7400]

Smh it just doesn't make sense. The mother had to be feeling guilty about something. Treating her like a maid, keeping her from her father. And having her run errands by herself at night, so young really pissed me off. Like why have kids if you're gonna treat them like crap 💔

[@ceeceerenee7400]

Yes also it's very common for mothers to be jealous of their own daughters, sadly. And the fact that she did not assist in looking for her and didn't even go to her funeral, wild 🤔

[@teijaflink2226]

I have never ever heard of any close family not being interested in getting the murderer locked up. There could be reasons to not be able to go to the funeral but this sounded very shocking and cold to me, even with very old cases there are usually family members happy that case is opened. To care this little and specially as she was murdered.

Seems like something was happening to that child at home.....for mom and the step father to just be able to move on is sickening.

These "monsters" need to be humanized because they're humans. And if you look at them as more than monsters you can see that, more often than not, they were failed as children and perhaps, if they received better care as kids, they wouldn't have gone on to do the horrible things they did.

[@ijustneedmyself]

Not sure it needs to be said, but just in case... My point is not that I think we need to treat these people with kid gloves or glorify them. Rather, we need to look at how they got to where they are and how we as a society could have possibly helped to prevent such horror.

[@SaiseiKail]

I am a teacher that works in a public school in Brazil, and have to deal a lot with abusive parents and things like that. When the parents are distant from the the child and show almost no interest on how they are going and how they are mentally, we already treat as a huge red flag. So, yeah, a mother that don't go to the funeral plus what the father said is pretty strange and suspicious, imo. I feel like she didn't really cared for Minerliz, or simply was indiferent for everything that happened. It's impossible to be sure, but, to me, it's a very big red flag.

[@ginacampbell8766]

Sounds like she only used her daughter and allowed her in her house for selfish reasons. Probably welfare benefits, housework, babysitting and to run outside chores and errands. The other sad thing is her mother mentally went on with her life with a new man and another kid so Minnie was no longer relevant to her emotionally, if she ever was at all. I'm sure her dad wanted the best for her but ended up sending her straight into the lions den. I'm sure he's living with a different kind of pain after it was his decision to send her to NY. Her mother is one disgusting and soulless chick who never deserved her.

[@FaithandNova]

Very strange

[@julslatt6294]

Said at 4:34 that Minerliz was into Astronomy and had big dreams bc she told her good friend also from same Bronx’s neighborhood of low expectations for successful future, that she wanted to become an Astronaut one day.. believe was the 🚩 flag bc for decades Martinez used his telescope 🔭 in front of the same building where Minerliz before her death lived and he would attract and fascinate children from the building and many just passing by… apparently she knew and trusted him, potentially he had groomed to lurer her the place found or his place to freely use that telescope 🔭 Martinez was questioned at time her body was found, but that telescope and her interest in Astrology are like symbolism, then advanced DNA decades later broke the case wide opened which revealed this narcissistic murderer, facilitating young minds..
