When a Dad Realizes His Son is a Psychopath

In today's true crime documentary, we're covering the case of Ethan Windom and analyzing it from an educational legal and psychological perspective.

[@ExploreWithUs]

I hope you're enjoying the new releases, the goal is to get one video released on this channel every week, which has been a challenge, but we are working hard to make it happen. Our main objective is to not sacrifice quality for quantity. Stay tuned, we will continue working hard to produce new content for you. I hope you all had a wonderful weekend!

Like they had meth and crack on the table and he mentioned it was all clear except drywall on a scale... But it was crack... Well.. Fuck it...

If he contacts you, that's fine. If you ignore him when he reaches out, it may cause anger, but if you don't reach out yourself, he may get distracted with life and sort of forget about you for long periods.

She’s Resting In Paradise without a doubt. I would NOT have him in my home if I were feeling that way. It’s too scary. If I felt the intuition that my child was a danger to me; I’d place him or her in a mental hospital. It’s not safe whatsoever! Never take things like this lightly and think that it’ll go away. It’ll only get worse. My 16 yr old daughter acted very crazy when she was 16. Disrespectful & not listening to anything I’d told her to do. Didn’t want to focus on education. Top priority for me. I didn’t believe in spanking like my former father did to me & step-mother. So I told her she wasn’t allowed to go out. Especially on school nights. She was VERY UPSET! She literally tried to beat me up! I NEVER laid a hand on my “parents” that is w/o a doubt disrespectful and I never talked back either. Millennials now; they seem to cross boundaries due to having no consequences for their actions. I had to hold her fists as she kicked me. Telling her to stop. 💔😢 it hurt! Couldn’t believe how kids are & how they could do this to their own parents. Anyhow, she’d grown up & stopped talking to her former best-friend who influenced her to do drugs, and take a flight to Northern Cali to meet a boy she’d never met w/ his parents! I told her not to go. She ignored me. The parents influenced her to sleep w/ him! No condoms, etc! I was astounded! He’d NEVER had a gf b4 so apparently she’d lost it to him & moved to Iowa. 💔😢 I told her you don’t know what life is like. You haven’t even lived life to the fullest & haven’t experienced life! You can’t just go w/ this guy & think this is love! He doesn’t even have a proper education & doesn’t have a job. His parents are the ones influencing you. Don’t do this. I’ve always been accurate w/ what I’ve said. I told her it won’t go well. Don’t do this. You’ll regret it. 😔💔 Life is what it is. Very devastating for parents that love their children so much but yet they get assaulted by their own children. Absolutely brutal.

[@Aim4aCreativeLife]

He seems to be on the spectrum IMO. ASD individuals are often very intelligent but have focused intense interests that are often obsessive. Interrupting patterns or the focus of their interest can result in massive meltdowns. Just as with anyone, this doesn't make them dangerous, but if one's obsession is paychopaths and role playing them one very well can be. Since social emotional skills are challenging for ASD individuals, role playing gives them a script that they know and can feel comfortable acting in, whereas general societal interaction can feel uncomfortable due to missing social cues and social mores, etc. That's my hypothesis on this guy.,

I went to prison at 24yrs old at pelicanbay state prison. This kid is going to have a rough time in prison. Hopfully they put him in a mental hospital first before transferring him to prison. He has no clue who he is as a person and is very vulnerable to outside persuasion. He will go in there and act like this and get beat really bad. But if u get him out of this act then he’s going to be an easy person to hand a knife to and say go do this or that. He is easily made into a torpedo to do anything they want. They could also easily turn him into a prison women. It’s sad he latched onto that movie and it shows how influenced kids are at that age if they have a weak mind. He’s gona be around guys three times his size. Theres really bad men in prison but There’s also really good men in prison who act as mentors to help you go through the prison system and stay out of trouble. But if he’s acting like this he will become a victim of the prison system. Because he will only attract predators who can see they can easily take anything they want from him. No one can protect him in there and they don’t even pay attention enough to protect you in there. You are truely on your own inside any of those gladiator camps.

true, but he did ask for help, and no one gave it to him. gave plenty of red flags that the parents friends and psychiatrist ignored. He doesn't have feelings and was most likely born that way (brain abnormality), so it was inevitable he would eventually act out.

Yeah, plenty of warning. But for some reason, many people don’t believe in “preventative” treatment. He could’ve been committed, studied, MAYBE even helped, with no victims involved. Part of the problem is that we don’t really have any good treatment for psychopathy. We barely know exactly what’s causing it in the brain, much less how to treat it. One of the interview notes onscreen said that Ethan himself thought he was “this way” because he got hit in the head with a baseball, which is honestly very plausible.

I think he believed the suspect was a lot more emotionally unstable than he actually was, and would break under the pressure of guilt. Instead, the suspect does not feel guilt, and his displays of emotion are mostly either theatrical or self serving. Most of the murderers they get will be emotionally unstable, and have killed in the heat of the moment without planning. Applying pressure to these types will reinforce their scattered thoughts of guilt and shut down other thoughts of selt pitty or fear (of consequences). You hammer into them that their only way forward is to confess and you squash any other lines of thought. Since this suspect didn't feel any guilt, this method wasn't effective.

No,throw away the key

[@chillingwithshillam]

@@killiemucken sorry... basically, he wanted to appeal the decision to charge him as an adult, as it "violated his eighth amendment rights", however the appeal was denied and he was ordered to continue a life sentence with no possibility of parole. 26 years minimum in prison total. 2032 is the earliest he may have a parole hearing, and potential parole eligibility by 25th January 2033; however he will never be able to be released into the public on his own again and will forever be closely monitored and medicated for his paranoid schizophrenia etc'

[@killiemucken]

@@chillingwithshillam did you not read the end part were it said he had another sentencing in 2019 and was giving 26 years and he’s already served 16 of them the guy in the video literally said he can be eligible for parole in 2033 maybe try watch the whole of the video next time before you think you know everything

i had an ex seriously try to hurt me, if not kill me, and i’ll never forget the feeling of betrayal & sheer terror realizing that someone i loved so much & would do almost anything for would want to hurt me like that. i absolutely cannot imagine realizing that your own son was going to kill you. hopefully there is peace and full understanding in the afterlife, hopefully there is a fulfilling answer as to why

​@@defaultname7685he was still a minor though. By 2033 he might be more mature in his tactics after learning from his mistakes in this interrogation. He has an obsession with learning to manipulate people. He will modify his strategy for sure. He's probably in his cell practicing how to fake cry as I type this lol.

I had siblings like this. Crazy violent stuff would happen and parents would always get mad at me for wanting to call the police. Brother used to run around screaming and banging on the door with a shot gun while i would hide behind it with my little niece and nephew. Sometimes i use to just leave the house with the kids until they left or things calmed down. It was horrible. I feel bad for that mother. You feel helpless physically and emotionally. You dont want to believe your baby turned into a monster.

[@nq6508]

Context-Brother didn't normally act that way but was addicted to meth and Xanax and would often lose his mind. They were eventually kicked out and still haven't straightened out their lives 5 years later. Living like that was traumatizing. You never know when something bad will happen. Now I refuse to ever be put in situations like that again. It doesn't matter if we are family. Sadly that mom found out too late.
