Teenage Killers: The Death of Michael Moss | True Crime Story | Real Stories
When a 15-year-old boy was lured to a Liverpool park, attacked, and left for dead, it was dubbed the 'Reservoir Dogs' murder. His three killers were 15.
The teens had seen the Quentin Tarantino movie and wanted to replicate it, even going so far as to sing an iconic song from the film as they committed their deed.
What made these young boys into killers?

OF COURSE it works "for some, not all". The very acknowledgement of that simple fact, nonetheless, refutes the blanket statement in the OP.

[@mael2039]

I strongly believe in rehabilitation, but I believe there's some acts that a human being can't come back from. It's not even that I believe they don't deserve rehabilitation, I think it's not about that at all, it's about the fact that if these people get out, others will be in danger. Because you can't do something like this, torture someone so violently, without having a serious disconnect in your brain when it comes to other humans beings. You know how it's said that physically our teeth are strong enough to bite through a finger as easily as a carrot, but there's something in your brain that stops you from doing that? like even if you really tried, you couldn't do it because your brain doesn't let you. And I think a normal, healthy brain doesn't let you do something like this to a human being. Normal people aren't even capable of doing something like this to a human. I think if you're capable of doing that, it's impossible to say with certainty that there's no danger anymore for others should they ever be released. No matter how much therapy happens. And that's why I think they should be held for their entire lives, not because after the pain they caused, they don't deserve rehabilitation, but rather because rehabilitation isn't possible.

In my professional career, I have been inside these PRUs and impressed by the overwhelming positivity of the staff members to effect change in the lives of extremely vulnerable pupils. From the accounts in this documentary, Michael was at last thriving and had built his self esteem to a level where he could have a personal relationship. Michael's mum, the care home, the PRU, Michael's girlfriend or indeed Michael himself are not in anyway at fault for the terrible circumstances that conspired to cut Michael's life so horrifically short.

They should have been separated + sent to different institutions. Such a very upsetting case! I also don't agree with the light sentences. The behavior of the 3 youths, they are not "boys", was so horrific that I believe that instead of the judge should have sent each separately to an institution focused on rehabilitation. Also the one boy Neely in confessing the crime to his mom immediately after, confessing to police,+ showing remorse should have been considered by the judge. I don't believe he was as involved in the crime but found himself there. The judge should consider the actions of each youth separately in sentencing.

murder is murder no matter what, but the way that they took that boys life, and the things they did with his body definitely constitutes heavier punishment. Like. Extremely heavy.

[@theresarasche3173]

That's because you aren't an evil person detective! You wouldn't understand jumping on the head or playing knots and crosses or any other disrespect for the dead young man. Bless his heart ❤️🙏

I find it amazing that History is Overlooked.. during war around the 1200's up to 1800's men did these same acts against their so called enemies among males and females (if you read what they did to females is worse than what they did to males) .. so what these un-human boys did is nothing more than what ancestors have done in the pass..

Oh my gosh so heartbreaking, what kind of justice is that disgusting, laws need to be changed asp teenage murder is on the increase , parents should be held responsible too those kids should have been tried as adults! An over tolerant society is not a civilised society.

What a tragic case, I feel so sorry for his mother and siblings. Furthermore, the fact that he had lost his father in such a way must’ve broken his heart. He was robbed of being able to grow and heal, and to better understand what happened with his dad. So sad.

I live in Italy (I'm italian) and a couple of years ago a girl went out from a rehabilitation clinic and the drug dealers killed her. She was a teenager and she must stay inside, she had no choice about her life, social workers were responsible for her safe. She was missing for a couple of weeks, then the police found the girl in three different suitcases. Such a shame PS sorry for my English

I cannot believe these boys got out of prison. That is absolutely ridiculous.

[@jewelliannew6172]

I have so many questions first and foremost to the facility: when these two boys were sent their they would have received the school records to justify the placement, so WHY weren't these boys separated on different units or something knowing their potential to feed off each other to bully to the point of violence. There must be some accountability by the facility and changes made so this scenario never repeats itself.

[@chuckfrazier2007]

Of course people can be influenced by things they see on TV or movies. If not we wouldn’t have advertisements.

[@ItsMe-ic7on]

Yep 30 years ago there was an article and I want to say Newsweek it could have been time I don't remember which but one of those magazines where they interviewed some top military guys who said the van on date their guys with violent video games which desensitizes them to death and just makes it easier from to do what they have to train them to do. Especially since back then all that blood and gore was just starting to come out on the video games

[@Thundersnowy]

'You cannot rehabilitate evil.' I agree wholeheartedly. There are two core personalities that motivate people. 1. Hunger for Power, oppression and putting down of others. These are bullies. 2. Love, and lifting others up, sacrificing for others. I believe these motives are carved out early in life. Every thing they do, is motivated by one or the other. Disabilities and mistakes can cause good hearted people to hurt other people, but they never want to hurt anyone. And they want to make it right if they do.

The saddest part is the one "expert" who does nothing but try to provide excuses for their repugnant behaviour. Should have drawn and quartered those little monsters. You don't rehabilitate Rabid animals or even just Animals that kill humans ... why do we keep wasting resources to keep literal monstrous animals alive and well fed?!?
