Self-Entitled Lame Teen Killers Learn They're Arrested

Tylar Witt and Steven "Boston" Colver were in a relationship. There was just one problem: Steven was 19, Tyler was 14, they lived in Joanne Witt's house and she didn't know about their relationship. Chaos and worse would soon ensue.

Im sorta concerned about who she will grow up to be. She can grow out of this narcissistic phase, maturity is helluva attitude adapter, but she can equally well turn up even worse. If I was a betting girl, Id put my chips on the latter, her seemingly being the primus motor of it all and something within her demeanor says so, but thats just my gut feels of her.. Also, policing (in US) has changed so much, its just smart to teach your kids the basics (always film the police, know your rights, ask for parents & lawyer, dont answer any questions). Todays police isnt there to help you, they are there to build a case against you or much, much worse. As a long time member of police reform/auditing community, Ive seen too much and every time I think it cant get any worse, it somehow always will.

Happy New Year Mike - and to all the other TC subscribers! Wonderful cover of this case which I did see somewhere else before. Your extra unique touches about life in San Francisco... (can't imagine how they'd survive going forward). Would be wonderful to have some conclusive evidence on which one of them actually "wasted" poor Joanne's life 💙

[@wendybutler1681]

Completely approve of the detective's attitude when she "wanted you gone". What an immature little baby. Thinking she's ready to run off and act like a grown up.

[@thekmfdmmachine3919]

My daughter had that Boston accent thing but grew out of it by 10. It was incredibly pronounced and then stood out seeing we're in Cleveland.

[@CowToes]

Woah, thanks for the content. To me, it is quite telling that in America, prison is not about rehabilitation, but punishment. The last comments wishing that Tyler be brutalized in prison is wild to me, but at the same time, I understand the anger that led to those comments.

[@traceysblackburn]

where are you? how does your prison system rehab?

[@jamesanthony3691]

I never realized how many murderous psychopathic children that are out there murdering grandparents & parents.. I went down the wormhole a couple weeks ago & watched a couple documentaries on the subject then I guess the algorithm started pushing more videos on those topics to my feed. I think this is like the 7th video I’ve watched about teenagers killing family members & there seems to be an unlimited amount on the topic.. It’s so tragic. RIP to the poor mother of this story. It’s so horrific & heartbreaking but it’s even more hard for me to wrap my head around this fourteen year old girl who’d be a willing participant to kill her own mother, I mean by god she’s almost still a baby in the sense she’d just of been in elementary school a couple years prior.. it’s totally mind boggling.. Sending Love & Prayers to the family/friends that have lost their loved one in such a senseless & horrific crime!!

[@whyamiheredlb]

And this story was from back in 2009… it is 10x worse after covid. They kill themselves, each other, schoolmates, teachers, parents, police. I dunno what’s going on, but it’s definitely eye opening. These two kids were under 25, as most of these offenders are, their brains are not even fully developed, so not sure that they can even comprehend the gravity of consequences headed their way because they live in their teenage social media bubble. I usually blame the parents and some actually deserve the title of shit parents, but this woman was trying her very best to keep her little monster safe, but also not recognizing that her monster probably needed mental health support. And the fact that she’s already out on parole is absolutely shocking.

[@jamesanthony3691]

@@whyamiheredlb After reading your message & also spending an unhealthy amount of time thinking about this subject, I think you mentioned two things that could possibly be the main driving factors of what seems like an epidemic of violence of our youth. Social Media & Mental Health. You combine the two in today’s world & it’s a Toxic Combination, especially when you add in the Internet & single parenting. I think these kids have undiagnosed or ignored mental health issues & then they live in a fantasy world between social media & whatever craziness they are absorbing from the internet. I’m a father of two teenage boys, one is now nineteen & the other is seventeen but I never allowed them to have any social media with the exception of what they had to use for school, I also put them in a Christian Private School when they got to junior high. I grew up in the 80’s-90’s & I don’t ever remember hearing about kids killing people outside of gang related things but it seems like there’s more killings happening domestically nowadays then gang members killing each other. It’s scary & extremely sad stuff. It’s like we’re breaking down as a society. I don’t know why but these horrible stories have really hit a nerve with me. Thank you for responding & sharing your thoughts..

[@ambermartin3961]

There are more children than people realize who have severe mental illnesses or personality disorders. Therapists are hesitant to diagnose significant issues in children, which I can understand to a degree. But there are many disorders that can be much more effectively managed if caught early. A big part of the issue is that the parents are so often blamed and/or they believe that they are the ones who understand their children the most. I've been getting a lot of criminal children videos (yeah, my algorithm went a bit wild with this recently), and if the youth committed a non-murder crime or murdered anyone other than the parents, the comment sections are filled with, "it's obviously the mother's fault." I've taught in residential facilities, and it's so heartbreaking. Most of the parents had healthy other children, but they felt guilty because Suzy had schizophrenia or Billy had high antisocial traits.

[@DamnedSilly]

Yes, there are more stories out there these days but it's worth remembering that there are twice as many people in the world than there were just 50 years ago. This has always happened. It's still the rarest form of murder. It just grabs the headlines.

[@tessaducek5601]

Welcome to the 21st century of entitlement and no accountabilty.

[@gabbym360]

So heartbreaking. Joanne seems like a really good mom, and Tylar lived a charmed life. I mean, a 5 bedroom house?? Horseback riding lessons and piano?? To throw away a life of luxury because your mom doesn't want you to be groomed. Insane behavior.

I really don’t understand why they even needed her to testify against him. I guess they didn’t have enough evidence against him? She is equally at fault as he is. 15 years, she’s already out, justice wasn’t done.

[@BLF2188]

Dear Mike, What does it mean to “threaten someone East Coast Style”?😂😂😂 You crack me up😆💀😵

[@jesmarina]

This thing with getting deals, so that another person can be convicted, is ridiculous. Where's the justice in that??

[@coreencasey5109]

“She gave Tyler everything” The first thing parents get wrong. Kids need boundarys and consequences, guidance and leadership. Stop being scared to say NO to your kids.

[@emb5048]

Or that could just be artful language. Not literal.

[@onemaddad3823]

Thank you! I was just gonna say this. This case is a prime example of why “child worship” is such a bad thing. Parents, especially single mother’s, think treating their young children like they’re the most amazing, and unique things ever, is a how they’re going to have a healthy relationship. But then when that child hits the teenage years, they wanna try to put up rules and boundaries for a child they’ve raised to believe is superior to everyone else. It doesn’t work. This is also a good example of why masculine father figures are so important. Masculine father’s aren’t going to put up with this type of nonsense. Especially with letting their child abuse their mother.

[@cartoonvandal]

"boundarys"? Dear God, I sincerely hope you're not teaching anyone - kids or otherwise - how to spell.

[@kellbean89]

Tylar seems like a great example of how some people are actually just born sociopaths, to do the things she did at such a young age makes me truly believe that some people are just born with their brains wired to be evil, doesn’t matter how good or bad life at home is.

I literally cannot believe they gave that girl parole despite the smirk on her face. She had no remorse for what she did. She pretty much had everything yet she was always unruly & troublesome. Her mother tried her best yet nothing seemed to work with her. Even before she got with her bf she was a complete nightmare to handle. That poor mother didn't deserve to get killed. As always the so called justice system is as weak as a nuns piss

It’s outrageous to me how these young girls plan to kill their parent/s, actually go through with it, rope their sex hungry boyfriends in and get a lighter sentence. She should also be serving life without parole. There’s a serious flaw in the law in these cases.

[@hermanblume3239]

I agree 100%. The district attorney screwed up royally when they offered her that deal. I believe she killed her mother. And now she walks free. It was kind of ridiculous hearing her family members talking about what they hope happened to the guy in prison. I mean he's a piece of shit for having a sexual relationship with a young girl, but he is not the killer. Were the family members delusional-- thinking that Tyler was just manipulated? They are wrong. She will probably kill again. You can see the evil in her.

[@JC-zv3cv]

"...these young girls.." ? You comment as if this happens on a daily basis. 14 year olds are not adults and the court system recognises they are not adults and do not have the mental capacity or maturity to comprehend their actions or consequences.
