@@topsirloin4209 I assure you I would not oppose to that idea however it would not stop the crimes against children or of rape. Those crimes are considered violent crimes. The offenders would still have the sexual drive and still have the violent urges against children. They could still kidnap and molest and torture and intimidate and murder their victims. Lock them up and throw away the key. They still might get loose. I would vote in a positive conviction that they get the death penalty. They are NEVER cured and ALWAYS repeat their crime. It is such an evil.. dark crime that you can't cure these people and certainly a few months in jail or prison will not deter them. It's an evil all consuming possession.

I agree with the child molester part. However you can not compare them to dogs. Dogs are shaped by the humans or lack of of humans around them. Dogs learn to either love or fear us based on what we do or fail to do. I rehabilitate abused, abandoned, and dogs that have been taught to be aggressive. None of it is because the dog has done something wrong, it is always the human who is at fault.

After reading all the comments I felt compelled to respond not that you deserve my response. For those who are criticizing the mother for allowing Vicki Lynne to go by herself, be careful about pointing your finger because when you look at your hand you have 3 pointing back at you. This was 1984 not 2020. A very different time where kids were able to play without worry. Vicki Lynne’s case changed that scenario in Tucson, innocence was taken away that day from all the children. Parents changed on what their children were allowed to do! Also Vicki was not your average 8 year old! How do I know this? Because I am her mother, I hope and pray you never have to live with a decision that ends up taking your child’s life. Until then you will never understand. In 1984 our children walked to school, played outside, rode their bikes everywhere! She took the exact same route she walked to school everyday except when the weather was bad! She beamed riding away, that I trusted her to go by herself. And yes, her last words were, “I love you momma”, we told our children that every night before bed. This mother, as some of you are calling me stupid, her fault, irresponsible, lazy, deserved to lose her daughter, etc, did nothing wrong! All your name calling is so further from the truth! You don’t even know me or our family. The perpetrator (a convicted sex offender) did everything wrong! He made the choice to knock my daughter off her bike with his car, kidnap her with the intention to rape and kill her, which he did within 30 minutes of abduction! Where does his responsibility and accountability lay?! It would of been that little 3 year old boy that witnessed the abduction if Vicki had not come along. It took me 7 years , 6 nervous breakdowns later to realize where the blame really laid! On Frank Jarvis Atwood! Not me! She laughs during the interview..... Don’t judge till you’ve been thru it! These interviews were the hardest thing to do.....you relive it. It’s not a laughing per say but a protective energy that goes thru you to protect you from falling apart. I know, that was me in that interview. What you don’t know is I had a complete breakdown and hospitalized for 30 days after that interview. But you are the experts on how to deal with a horrific tragedy as this! I did not seek attention or request these interviews. I was asked to do them. Why, because they saw I was trying to make something positive come out of a very negative tragedy. My daughter was not going to have died in vain! Her life meant something! What laws were changed..... I was an active part of the “Dangerous crimes against children Bill” that was passed in Arizona in the late 80s. Making mandatory sentencing on any crimes against children under the age of 15. It wasn’t the strongest law but it was a start. I testified before the AZ House & Senate to get this passed. In 1990, the Victims bill of Rights was passed by the voters of Arizona. Vicki’s case was a full force on the passing. We worked hard and were diligent to do something positive. During our trial, we did not have the rights that victims have now because of it. It was not easy spilling you guts and reliving your tragedy to make a difference but I did it for Vicki and our communities. I worked closely with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. I testified before US Congress on behalf of the Center for future federal funding. Through the center I privately worked with other families going through what we did. Buddy system.......yes I broke my own rules twice in one day. Do I deserve your tongue lashings.....do you not think I had to live with that?! As a parent sometimes we make wrong/bad decisions. Are you perfect? I LOST my daughter, she was raped and brutally murdered! Her throat sliced, her heart stabbed, I know her last words! How? Because, he wrote it down and verbally confessed to 3 different inmates at different times with the same story! Our 3 year old son was sleeping at the time and literally woke up to a house full of police. What do you think that did to him. I didn’t abandon my children! I have fought for 35+years for justice for my daughter! We are closer now to execution than we ever have been. He has lost all of his appeals and a year ago tried to start all over. His case just got dismissed last week. It’s time for him to die as his sentence was given. The reason the death penalty doesn’t work is because of all the frivolous appeals that are allowed and continued at our families emotional expense. He should of been executed 20 years ago but too many bleeding hearts trying to stop it! I know because I/we have lived it. September 17, 2020 will be 36 years! I would of loved to have had 36 more years with her! We have 3 other children who are now all responsible, law abiding adults with children over the ages of 8 except one. I think as parents we’ve done an exceptional job with our kids. We are hands on grandparents to 6! We are a close family. We have suffered enough emotionally, physically & financially. The stress is not one I would wish on anyone. It would take me days to explain what we have gone through. How have we survived? Because of Gods Grace. We know we will be with Vicki Lynne again when we leave this earth. I’d like to say thank you to the ones with the kind words. For those who saw fit to bash me, I forgive you because you have no clue and I pray you never have to experience what we have or make a wrong decision in your life. God Bless you. From a very strong mother who only gets her strength from God. #dontforgetvickilynne #justice4vickilynne #loveneverforgets 💝💖 Oh by the way, Coach Hall quit teaching that year.

Debbie Carlson Debbie, you are so correct! In the days I was a child (late 50’s early 60’s etc), we were allowed to go anywhere, and had to be home by dark, when the streetlights came on! We all had bikes, were in and out of friends homes, our home, had no fear of anyone snatching us! This was small town (8,000 pop) Iowa and I NEVER recall anyone being snatched, molested, anything like that! I only recall accidental shootings, maybe one every three yrs., maybe 4, as everyone had guns/rifles. Those days are my fondest memories! We did have one weird guy my mom warned us about, and I remember going by his house fast, never slowing, but I don’t recall him ever hurting any kids so I have no idea how my mom knew to warn us about him! But what you did Debbie, was not at all unusual! My mom was the best and loved us more than life! If she had thought we were ever in danger, she would’ve never let us go anywhere alone, JUST LIKE YOU! I raised my sons in the 80’s-90’s! While I didn’t let them go too far I would let them bike to the local store, post office, to their friends homes, in our neighborhood! You can’t protect your children from everything! If you smother them, give them no freedoms, in my opinion, you will kill their soul! Sometimes you can fear death so much, you don’t actually live! Debbie, you said your little angel was beaming with pride as she biked away...she knew she was loved! What a beautiful memory to hold on to! I’ve always taught my sons, it’s not the quantity of years we all live, it’s the quality of life we live! Your little girl had more love in her short life than many children experience in a lifetime! You are so right, in going on and making changes in the laws that allow these evil human beings to be free to do this over and over! Personally, I think if they are released, it should be to some island, where they can all live with those like them, and away from all other humans! Had this monster been put on that island, your beautiful little girl would still be here, with you! Your strength to carry on is so admirable! If anything had happened to either of my sons, I pray I would’ve been as strong as you! My son is a soldier at Fort Huachuca and his fiancée, and I have met him in Tucson to spend time w/him! My other son lived w/his wife and son many yrs in Tucson! We all loved it there! Debbie, please don’t let others determine who you are! YOU KNOW YOU WERE A GOOD MOM, your daughter was a beautiful little vision of you! Celebrate her life, all she gave/taught to others who knew her, her beaming little face full of joy and confidence! Reach out to other families who may need your strength and wisdom, and change what laws you can! Vicky gave her life but imagine how many lives have been changed with those laws, saved, and better as a result of Vicky, you, her daddy, and all those she touched in her life! Just like my soldier son, is doing everyday, Vicky was enjoying her life doing what she wanted to do! Imagine if she had lived a life of abuse, very little love if any, and died. There was nothing you or Vicky could’ve done any different that day! What you did after, has made a difference! Vicky would be very proud of you and all who loved her! 😁❤️

He asked me if he was going to go to jail and I told him I didn't know what they were going to do, but he will have to deal with whatever they do, but no matter what, I would support him through it. The manager was an awesome lady who had raised 6 kids and appreciated the lesson I was trying to teach him, so she told him if he picked up the garbage in the parking lot for 30 minutes she would accept it as payment for the candy bar. I paid for the candy (I didn't tell my son) and I held the garbage bag, as he picked up the garbage. I explained to him that I love him, so I will support him (by holding the bag), but he has to pick up the garbage because it was his consequence for choosing to steal.

[@proudmilitarybrat76]

I go back and forth about the death penalty. There has been a lot of people put to death, that were later found to be innocent. If there's 100% proof they did it, I have no problem with the death penalty. The problem is, some of the innocent people put to death, appeared through evidence to be guilty. Mistakes are made in labs, cops can be corrupt (especially in small towns), witnesses wrongly identify people, jurors are paid off, etc... The documented amount of innocent people being put to death is extremely low, but 1. One is more than enough and 2. That's documented cases. Who knows how many undocumented cases there are. That's the only reason I second guess the death penalty. There was a man in Texas who was proven innocent a couple weeks before his execution date and was still executed because the governor didn't give an order for a stay of execution. That's straight fucked up.

[@donniegray553]

Im FOR the death penalty. My only problem with it is that too much time is wasted by allowing appeal after appeal for MANY YEARS.

I was in the hospital at the time, I pulled my 2 IVs out and ran out of the building and my mother and I started the search. No ONE had seen her or talked to her. Called police, troopers, this went on for 5 hours. I've never felt pain like I did that night, my heart was breaking, I literally felt chest pain. FINALLY a friend of hers told me she had called an Uber, used her Nana's cc# and rode 3 cities over. OMFG finally got her home. The relief was unbelievable. I cannot fathom this mother's pain. Just the few hours I experienced took my breath away, I cried until no more tears came out. I was readying myself for the worst. There were at least 8 police officers at my house waiting to talk to her and they all explained to her what she put me thru doing that. I was really thankful they had immediately come out to search AND to let my daughter know how dangerous that was. One of them explained a story of a killer Uber driver, he told her she could've been taken advantage of. Fast forward to last year and I'm now a survivor of human trafficking. Even when I was taken, the only thing I cared about was getting back to my daughter. That's the only reason I had the strength to escape. The bond between a parent and a child is a soul tie.

Life without parole will suffice. The death penalty really serves no useful purpose. It makes society no safer, it has resulted in the deaths and near deaths of innocent men and there is good evidence that using state violence to attain justice simply models violence as a socially acceptable alternative to solve problems. The U.S. has far, far higher rates of violent crime, especially rape and murder, than countries that do not practice the death penalty. Within the United States those states that practice the death penalty also have higher rates of violent crime than states that do not.

My bff of 30 years, Al, was a witness in this case because he knew Atwood personally & Atwood had showed up @ Al's home about an hour after killing Vicki, & the 1st thing Al noticed about Atwood was that he was covered in blood. Al even asked his roommate, "Was Atwood covered in blood?!" To this day, Al is haunted by what happened to Vicki Lynn Hodgkins.

It's weird seeing these actors be the criminal in one episode, and then the detective in another episode.

[@mikhail2400]

From the way the mother was answering the interview questions I just knew this child was found alive but I was wrong there.

[@awakeandalive3020]

Nah, she sadly referred to her daughter in the "past tense".

[@rubypits2541]

Ikr, she can still smile while telling how she let her two daughters went out alone.. I feel that I bit awkward.

[@madilynramos5720]

Yeah cause she was like laughing and shit… so weird

[@chemick606]

It might seem odd unless you’ve seen smiling/laughter as a defense mechanism before. It may be cultural and regional. When I see the mother speak I see a tremendous effort to keep herself together, to present a positive image and not to emotionally collapse to the pain she’s feeling. You can see her trying not to express the pain and sadness. I have known people who use this defense mechanism so she didn’t seem odd to me at all.

[@makeapathpresents]

Lmao, the one detective in this was the Road Sniper from another video I just watched.

@@ChanaElisheva You're absolutely right but you have to remember this was in the early early 80's and parents let their kids run around the neighborhoods for hours sometimes without hearing from them ( I was one of those kids.. but I am a male..)... but with that said, it was still a little 8 year old girl and that mom is a terrible fucking mom imo for letting not 1 , but both of her daughters go off on their own

[@Kirsten_is_cursed10]

HSM-18 Soooo glad I didn’t have a helicopter parent like you! That behavior leads them to never be able to think for themselves! When they’re 25 and you finally let them out of your house for the first time they will be socially and emotionally immature with zero street smarts and you’re setting them up for problems in the future. They’ll most likely end up with controlling spouses and co-dependent relationships because they can’t stand on their own two feet. Sad, really.
