The girl ended up being a criminal herself. I think the offenders are actually just people who were victims themselves and have unresolved trauma which needs to be addressed. They don't just commit a crime because they are evil people. As he says, he wants the underlying issues to be addressed so that crime does not happen in the first place. As you can see, he cried out to God asking why he would let this happen. He is a victim himself. They need treatment to heal to prevent crime in the first place, as the "criminal" usually starts out as a victim such as in the girl's case as well.

These are some of the most depraved crimes on planet Earth, and it can make me very depressed and hopeless to hear about this stuff. Take it easy on yourself... don't go too deep into the rabbit hole. Remember to spend time focusing on better things. Jesus came to give us peace. Even when we're in the darkness and chaos of this world, we can still find peace in Jesus. He has overcome the world. ❤✝️ "Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable-if anything is excellent or praiseworthy-think about such things. "Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me-put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you." Philippians 4:8‭-‬9 🙏

If due process of law isn't followed, the offender might be released.

If I remember everything correctly she has said that Joseph r*ped her too and had tried to strangle her to death but didn’t when she called him „Joe“ (which was supposedly how his mum called him). Another detail I would have liked to be mentioned is that Josep asked Shasta to visit him in prison when he was arrested at that Denny‘s and she said yes (but obviously never did). Imagine having the gall to ask a child to visit you in prison after brutally killing her whole family and torturing her. This guy was truly insane! I wish they would have elaborated on the things that he had written about his childhood. If I recall correctly Shasta struggled with addiction and I think that at least one biological child was taken from her (as far as I understood not because of abuse but because of her addiction- which might have led to neglect idk). I‘ve seen comments scrutinizing her for that and I find that disgusting. Some people can’t even find empathy for an addict who endured what she did. The fact that she’s still alive is a miracle to me and shows how strong she is. I hope that she got the help that she needed.

Exactly. We all never know how close we have come to being a victim in our lives. Evil lurks. I'm a single parent, pray for my child's safety daily. Taught her to shoot, self awareness. I teach Martial Arts to kids at our local rec center and can't get my child interested to learn and train. It's frustrating.

This is one of the WORST cases I've came across. My heart goes out to those poor children. This is beyond disturbing.

“The father turned to psychics to aid the search, but those efforts proved futile.” Color me surprised.

Never ever go down without a fight. If someone is in your house against your wishes, especially with a weapon, you attack at any chance you get. I'd rather die fighting knowing I tried than watching the mother go get every kid to serve up on a platter. Lock your doors and shoot to kill.

As a victim of a home invasion; this is a whole lot easier said than done. I punched one of them but then got quickly pistol whipped and had it pointed to my forehead.

Even if they literally have a gun point blank at you ? Honestly i think most of us would stay frozen if something like that happens

Out of all murder investigations I’ve watched this is the most horrific one yet

[@pelqel9893]

Watched this yesterday, but this story is haunting my thoughts like few have... such utter depravity! To think... this devil saw this family as nothing more than a disposable commodity, the only resource that he sought to harvest was the tortured suffering of the little boy; everything else was merely a means to that end. And to think he crept up to that unlocked door three times in the night... How Shasta and her father have retained any sanity after enduring such horror is beyond me! It's unimaginable.

[@wingingninja]

The part where the abuser says “ he knew a lot about abuse… “ I have no doubt he did. Whatever suffering he may or may not have experienced in childhood that fuelled his later behaviour doesn’t wash with me. I have sympathy for the child in him and his earlier experiences but not for the adult for the following reasons. When we are grown, regardless of our history we become adults and have to take responsibility for the decisions we make. There are billions of people on this planet, many of home have experienced harder childhood experiences than this perpetrator, and yet they didn’t behave like him, also there are many other people who experienced less childhood harm than him and as adults did far worse! Swings and roundabouts! There’s a point where regardless of our history we have to take the consequences of our behaviour. So he should never ever be set free in society again. The public have an absolute right to remain protected and I doubt very much he can be rehabilitated and even if he can be, his crimes are so heinous he should never be forgiven.

Did you guys miss the part when he died Mar. 28th '21

[@wingingninja]

Yes I did miss that part. No longer able to abuse ! However, if you believe in reincarnation he gets to have another go at it?

[@SkyForceOne2]

@@wingingninja LMAO believe in what you want, it wont change alot. Also, you were spewing alot of bullshit. You clearly have no idea that somebody, who had a traumatic childhood and nobody to support him (the abuser had to, otherwise unlikely he wouldve turned out that way), does not just simply "SNAP OUT" of it and "takes responsibility". You have no fucking single clue about what you're talking about. It might be the case if you're foolish, or mildly disturbed etc, but if you really got fucked up as a child and left to your own, you do not just magically turn around.

[@Daughterofozai]

This genuinely has to be one of the most sickening cases I’ve ever heard.

[@shawnnixon2616]

Hearing about the teenager standing back up when they left hit hard, especially knowing he went back inside and leaving the blood on his father, checking on his condition I'm sure and ended up next to his mother... Smfh That imagery is never going to leave my mind. R. I. P. young man, as well your family.

this is so horrifying i felt sick the whole time i was watching this.. I just kept thinking about those poor children... and how some monster named them shasta and slade. theres a special place in hell for people like that

I would bet anything that not 1 person that commits acts like these could EVER be rehabilitated.
