There a good reason, why polygraph tests are not admissible in a court of law, so it is simply against her best interests, to take the test, and doing so would do absolutely nothing for the mother, her son is gone and she wants to assign blame, which is understandable.
I don't think I would ever take one regardless of whether I was innocent or not. I have anxiety too and they're sooo prone to false positives I wouldn't want to risk it...
I have anxiety disorder and i wouldn't take it either. Think certain issues can trigger overdrive emotions, very sensitive if it's that sensitive for certain people. I can understand what the girlfriend is getting at 'even if she were too, even if though passed; could be looked into further'. Then again, it's unknown if she meant it or not as far as intent.
same here, i have anxiety and a situation like a polygraph would trigger it even if i was innocent. it's a little like feeling guilty or nervous around a cop even when you've done absolutely nothing, i wouldn't risk a false positive
“We will never be cool no matter what” so in other words even if she takes the test and she passes she still won’t believe her? I wouldn’t take it either if that’s how it is
thats not what she meant, she said that even if it was proven that the girl didn't push him the mother would still hold her PARTIALLY responsible see dr phill at 1:46
No, listening is key. She wants to know if she truly did not push/nudge/touch him or it was just pure argument and he tripped. For her own peace, she wants to know the difference. As for not being cool ever, I get that. She VERBALLY STATES that if it comes to light that the gf didn’t put any hands on her then fine, she’ll let that part go. But they can’t be cool because it takes two people to argue. If the gf had just let in him go, taken the argument inside (because why would you wanna be yelling at your partner in public looking crazy) all of this could’ve been avoided. Maybe a different outcome would or would’ve have happened. This mother is grieving and can’t accept that accidents happen so she’s trying to grasp at every minute detail. This gf needs to move states and move on because until that mother gets something, no one will be at peace in her presence.
What disturb me the most is the constant pushing and guilt tripping of the mother on a young adult, saying what her son would have wanted. She NEEDS her to be guilty so badly. I really hope the mother got a lot of help because she needed it
@@gabemarcus7926 considering the whole episode, I'd say yes, but you're right, there are many situations where if the roles were reversed the case would have ended differently
I'm with the teenage girl on this issue. In our criminal justice system, a person does not have to prove their innocence. It is up to her accusers to prove that she is guilty. That is the foundation of our rights.
It’s true. Lately it does seem like we live in a society of “guilty until proven innocent”. Also polygraphs measure heart rate and I feel like if you get asked “did you kill someone” your heart rate is going to go up either way. Like, anxiety? Idk it doesn’t seem fair
She doesn't have to prove her innocence. It's the job of a district attorney or law enforcement to collect enough evidence to charge her with a crime. Then, a jury & judge must be convinced of her guilt. If we start expecting suspects to prove their innocence, then anyone could accuse anyone else of anything with no evidence.
I also don't like the language the mother is using, she is being very manipulative in my opinion. Saying things like "you'd think if you cared so much you would do it for me". The girl clearly isn't comfortable doing it, respect snd care run both ways.
I wouldn't take the test. The mother was contradicting herself the whole time she said I get it you wanna look out for yourself but than kept saying if you loved me you'd take the test for me. And she even said no matter what we wont be cool so why even bother taking the test if no matter what you'll feel salty towards her .
That's true, but you are thinking without the emotional distruction this mother is in. I would say the same as you, but when a person is going through such a big loss, they become very subjective, the thought process is so complicated so, on all that, when someone says they don't want to take the polygraph, no matter the reason, if she had these feelings of doubt in the first place it just makes things worse for her, but yeah, I don't know..maybe I'm wrong
*The mother said that she WOULDN'T ACCEPT the results of the lie detector test if she passed.* Then WHY would the mother suggest that she should take the test? She will ONLY accept ONE outcome. Also, this means that there is ZERO benefit for the girl to take the test. Zero.
thats not what she said at all. she said that even if it was proven that the girl didn't push him the mother would still hold her PARTIALLY responsible see 1:46 2:03 and 2:24
Shut up, the mom is right. HER SON IS DEAD, AND SHE CONTRIBUTED PARTLY TO HIS DEATH regardless of the polygraph results. SHE HAD HER HANDS ON HIM. She should take the test.
I'm just going to leave this here. I cannot imagine the grief and pain of a mother losing their child. I am certain that you would want answers and will do anything to get it. However in this case, I unfortunately have a feeling that no matter what the mother is told she will always hold resentment and blame this young woman.

I don’t know if the girl did it or not but she’s like emotionally blackmailing her when she is straight out told her she won’t except her either way or believe her answer so why would the girl take the test?

I'm sorry but the mother and the aunt are convinced that she did it so they can find someone to blame. She is heartbroken. She wasnt allowed to grieve she wasnt allowed to mourn because people who were not there spread rumors during their grief. That mother wants to blame the person who loved him.

That woman is gaslighting that poor young girl and trying to emotionally blackmail here into taking a test she will fail due to anxiety. The mother NEEDS her to be guilty to ease her grief, it cant be an accident for her
I am not saying I believe the gf but it is true that the polygraph can give false results. I read a report that stated a person can honestly reply no but they can feel guilty (i.e. if i didnt meet up with the person this incident would not have happened, i feel i am the reason this happened i think when i did this this what caused that incident). Any thoughts of trying to hold yourself accountable can be detected by polygraph making results false negative or inconclusive.
I have anxiety as well, and can see both sides of it. The real question is 'did she mean it', it's a matter of intent (gf seems really nice). In this case, yes it's unfortunate that it happened in front of the girlfriend (be traumatized for sure) and sure it was just an accident.
I don’t know why the audience is clapping for the Mom’s emotional manipulation. If they were in the girl’s shoes, they’d do the same thing as the girlfriend. The Mom is grieving, which I can understand, and I’m very sorry for her loss and her anguish. But it seems like she’s looking to just blame someone and not hold her dead son accountable for his behavior, which seems to be bordering on, or outright, harassment of the girlfriend. I think she needs grief counseling and therapy.
i get the mom is going through a lot of stuff and it’s hard in her but i personally feel like it is so toxic and manipulative to say if you don’t take it you’ve never loved me or my son. she’s hurting to.
Being 100% innocent, I'd never take a polygraph. They're unreliable, inadmissible in court, & an inconclusive result will basically seen as a fail. She needs to let go of the anger and grieve properly.
@@jaybayer3670 No, it's pseudoscience. All it shows are signs that may be associated with stress. Do you not understand that isn't the same thing as lying? There's a reason it's not admissible in court. It's so easy to get false results and ambiguous results, you may as well toss a coin. It's like the idea there's some magical "tell" in body language and microexpressions that makes it clear someone is lying - that's not how it works either.
@@JustAnotherBuckyLover you're confused. You're thinking of "lie detector". A polygraph is just a tool to obtain data. Now the science of the polygraph analysis to determine deceitfulness can be debated for sure. But a polygraph is not pseudoscience.
@@jaybayer3670 I am not in the least bit confused but thanks for demonstrating you can read my mind as well as a polygraph. LOL, You're splitting hairs about the polygraph and whether the fact that it measures actual physiological data makes it scientific. Yes, it reads physiological data. But suggesting that can interpret anything beyond that is pure pseudoscience and you know FULL well that's what a polygraph is about, nothing more, nothing less. I'm sure you're also fully aware that "polygraph" as in "I'll take a polygraph" is short for "a polygraph test" - which is purely meant in the context of the attempt to detect deceit. Your playing semantics is disingenuous.
It won’t be over with, you are grieving, you will find something else to blame her for. What the girlfriend does will never know satisfy a grieving mother.
This mother is a monster with the constant guilt trips, you don’t have to prove ur innocence if you aren’t charged with something it just seems like the mother was mad with grief and looking for someone to blame
A teenager should not be forced and manipulated like this into a polygraph. Polygraphs are absolutely faulty and her grandpa is correct there is a ton of room for false implication there. It doesn’t mean she’s guilty when she refuses it means she’s smart.
Seeing as lie detector tests are legally inadmissable (because they cannot reliably detect guilt or innocence), a good lawyer would advise not to take one in any and every circumstance. It's a test that the law, scientists and the courts would ignore, but sadly the public are completely convinced by. Dr Phil needs to stop doing these tests. They tell audiences nothing but are presented as informative.
In my opinion this young lady is innocent because she's never said anything bad about him and most guilty girls would play the victim card and gaslight that person.
She doesn’t need that girl to take a polygraph test. She wouldn’t accept the results, unless she failed, and that wouldn’t bring her son back. I hope she can learn to deal with her grief.
At first when I read the title I thought to myself wow she won't take it cause she knows she's guilty but after listening to her reasons why she doesn'twant to, I'm taking her side on not to and I think she's in a really hard position between doing so or not doing it.
Mother is in the wrong I understand she lost her baby and she’s devastated but she said whether she’s telling the truth or not she’ll have a problem with her. That girl can’t win
Not how they work. They ask unrelated questions to set a baseline so it would adjust for your anxiety. The people who get false positives are the types who blame themselves for everything and the types who get false negatives are the opposite.
I actually can't believe the audience were clapping for the mum. My heart aches for her but if Malcom had ever loved Chloe, he wouldn't want her to take that test. He would want his mum to accept he's gone because of himself and for her to stop being in denial because of grief 😔 ☹️
but u don't know that he was gone because of himself. U are ASSUMING that she's innocent simply cuz she's a white chick. Girlfriends kill their boyfriends/husbands all the fukin time. It's nothing new. If she did kill, the guy would want her to be brought to justice and for his mom to know the truth
Naw, she looking someone to blame, irregardless of facts or a test, she still is going to look someone to blame, and the girl is right, not to take the test !
Her grandfather is right. Anyone who disagrees is dumb. You need to listen to your attorney even moreso if innocent than guilty. You have rights for a reason.
My heart goes out to the mother but the Teenager is right about not wanting to take a polygraph. Even if she was to take it, and she passed with flying colors the Mother has already indicated that they will never be "Cool" and that there will always be something between them.
Idk this girl just give me bad vibes maybe she was just being a bratty girlfriend and it was a stupid accident but there's something about her that just rubs me the wrong way and let me tell u there is nothing stronger then a mother's gut instinct and if u feel that someone has harmed your child it's a feeling that is incredibly hard to shake so I feel for her immensely.
I don’t blame her at all. She and her grandpa are exactly right, they are easy to fail. She could just be nervous regardless and tell the truth but, still show a “lie”. I think the mom just wants someone to blame, I hope she gets some help. Don’t try to guilt her into it.
@@lannabryanna I think they're saying that even though she didnt cause it she may still feel guilty bc they were fighting and then he tripped so if maybe she feels a little guilty about what happened the lie detector test might show that and say shes lieing
Wow, I lost my cousin/bff when I was 13 in a similar situation and even at THIRTEEN i had (and still have) the brains not to blame the other person involved. I grieved, I didn't accept the loss, i fell into depre$$ion, but eventually i moved on. It is ridiculous for a GROWN WOMAN to blackmail a young girl like this!
I don’t think this girl was the cause for this young man’s unfortunate death. She seems to be genuinely sad and sorry that he’s gone. I get that the mother is grieving and she misses her son dearly. But the truth is, she’ll probably always blame the girlfriend, no matter what a polygraph test would say.
0:05 I always wondered about this...... I have severe cfippling anxiety too. Even if I'm innocent I feel so much remorse and guilt. But idk... I think she's more nervous about it being a false positive than her actually bring innocent? 🤔
The mom saying that she wouldn’t like her and they would never be cool no matter what so why take the test if the mom still isn’t gonna like her and still gonna blame her?
His mother just wants some place to put the blame. She already has put it on the young woman, but if she fails the polygraph she'll have every reason to blame her and no push back.
I get where both of them are coming from. Taking the test would help the mother and family grieve and get some closure. However it's not fair to ask that of the girlfriend and say regardless, they will never be cool, that's not fair either.
I would not take it either! With anxiety issues it could lead to a false positive. And as far as mama??? Running her mouth like that would make me DETERMINED not to take one!
I really do not beileve she murdered, or even accidentally did it. I think the mother wants to put it on her to feel better about the situation. I think this mother is grieving, and needs help and i hope she got it. it was smart for the girl not to take the test. She was damned if she did damned if she didn't
It's very tragic, and I feel terrible for the mother. But it seems like the mother will only be satisfied, if this girl goes to prison. Polygraphs aren't perfect and can't always prove innocence or guilt. Unfortunately, maybe the girl knows what happened, but no one else ever will.
The burden of proof is usually on the person who brings a claim in a dispute. It is often associated with the Latin maxim semper necessitas probandi incumbit ei qui agit, a translation of which in this context is: "the necessity of proof always lies with the person who lays charges
i’m sorry but this kinda blows my mind. the mom admitted that even if she passed the test, she’d still blame her. why would you push her to take it then? how would it help you move on if you’re still going to blame her either way?
she said that even if it was proven that the girl didn't push him the mother would still hold her PARTIALLY responsible because the girl caused a fight with her son that may have contributed to his death 1:46 to 2:27
Wow either way this is sad. The mom is heartbroken and rightfully so but is she blaming her cause of her grief? With the polygraph I would be scared to take one even if I'm a hundred percent innocent.
It hurts a lot when a mother looses her child, but she must not use the girls love towards them to take the test, because she has her reasons, it's more like asking to just be the culprit and end the case, that's not proper, she has right to remain silent, and the only way is to find the physical Prof like finger prints, just let police take the case
So it’s ok to insult a woman (whose son passed away) about her wig, but when someone insults you about your makeup you call them a loser? I think the term I’m looking for here is ‘hypocrite’.
My husband of many many years was sick for years and died in the hospital while I was home sleeping with my kids and my Father in law wanted someone to blame, and I understand that believe me I do! But he still tried to accuse me of being involved when he couldn't sue the hospital, and I was nowhere around!
On the fence on this one. Yes taking one would good just in case they do look at her it maybe help her stay outta trouble. But on the other side why can’t mom just move on? This man mostly fell down the steps or railing by accident. Just because she was there doesn’t mean she did it
The clapping after the mother is literally trying to manipulate the girl with guilt just makes the mother feel more empowered and right. Yeah your son loves you and what not. But he wouldn’t want you making someone he loves feel like a monster for something she didn’t do. But who’s to say if she did or didn’t. I’m leaning more towards him falling as an accident.
@@mitonrocha3351 ok first of all.. my opinion has nothing to do with race. If it was the other way around my opinion would be the same way. I’m not going to get into my life but I have also been in similar situations and did not act like this lady. So do not judge anyone before you know what they have been through

That woman is gaslighting that poor young girl and trying to emotionally blackmail here into taking a test she will fail due to anxiety. The mother NEEDS her to be guilty to ease her grief, it cant be an accident for her
Yeah she’s pointing fingers without real evidence
I am not saying I believe the gf but it is true that the polygraph can give false results. I read a report that stated a person can honestly reply no but they can feel guilty (i.e. if i didnt meet up with the person this incident would not have happened, i feel i am the reason this happened i think when i did this this what caused that incident). Any thoughts of trying to hold yourself accountable can be detected by polygraph making results false negative or inconclusive.
I have anxiety as well, and can see both sides of it. The real question is 'did she mean it', it's a matter of intent (gf seems really nice). In this case, yes it's unfortunate that it happened in front of the girlfriend (be traumatized for sure) and sure it was just an accident.
The mom says that she will never be “cool” with the girl. Why should the girl care about that? She will never have a connection with them again.
I don’t know why the audience is clapping for the Mom’s emotional manipulation. If they were in the girl’s shoes, they’d do the same thing as the girlfriend. The Mom is grieving, which I can understand, and I’m very sorry for her loss and her anguish. But it seems like she’s looking to just blame someone and not hold her dead son accountable for his behavior, which seems to be bordering on, or outright, harassment of the girlfriend. I think she needs grief counseling and therapy.
Because many of Dr. Phil’s shows turn into Jerry Springer shows is why the audience clapped!
"if you love me or him you'd do something you're not comfortable with" dr Phil, you're gonna let that happen? really?
i get the mom is going through a lot of stuff and it’s hard in her but i personally feel like it is so toxic and manipulative to say if you don’t take it you’ve never loved me or my son. she’s hurting to.
Being 100% innocent, I'd never take a polygraph. They're unreliable, inadmissible in court, & an inconclusive result will basically seen as a fail. She needs to let go of the anger and grieve properly.
Facts.
What I don’t get is why the mother wants her to be guilty so bad? My mother loves my girlfriend and wouldn’t even think she was capable of that.
Your mom would probably turn on your girlfriend if she stupidly wanted someone to blame for your death.
But blaming people doesn’t solve anything.. sticking together helps unless you have proof on the other person
Because she was already abusing her son, it gave her even more of a reason to believe it was the girlfriend.
Because she doesn't trust her
THE POLYGRAPH IS PSEUDOSCIENCE
It's not pseudoscience lol. It's just not an exact, 100% accurate tool.
@@jaybayer3670 No, it's pseudoscience. All it shows are signs that may be associated with stress. Do you not understand that isn't the same thing as lying? There's a reason it's not admissible in court. It's so easy to get false results and ambiguous results, you may as well toss a coin. It's like the idea there's some magical "tell" in body language and microexpressions that makes it clear someone is lying - that's not how it works either.
@@JustAnotherBuckyLover you're confused. You're thinking of "lie detector". A polygraph is just a tool to obtain data. Now the science of the polygraph analysis to determine deceitfulness can be debated for sure. But a polygraph is not pseudoscience.
@@jaybayer3670 I am not in the least bit confused but thanks for demonstrating you can read my mind as well as a polygraph. LOL, You're splitting hairs about the polygraph and whether the fact that it measures actual physiological data makes it scientific. Yes, it reads physiological data. But suggesting that can interpret anything beyond that is pure pseudoscience and you know FULL well that's what a polygraph is about, nothing more, nothing less. I'm sure you're also fully aware that "polygraph" as in "I'll take a polygraph" is short for "a polygraph test" - which is purely meant in the context of the attempt to detect deceit. Your playing semantics is disingenuous.
There's a competition to polygraph, I just don't remember the name
girl i wouldnt want to take one either i have terrible anxiety and you could fail so easily
if the results of the test wont help her then why would she take it for her for no reason.
Whether mom believes or not her name is cleared thats why
Honestly she’s pointing fingers without real evidence
If it was her that was dead and the young man refused a polygraph, I doubt everyone would be as understanding to him.
True
Exactly it’s cuz she’s yt. Read more about this case a lot of people believe she did it,
It won’t be over with, you are grieving, you will find something else to blame her for. What the girlfriend does will never know satisfy a grieving mother.
I understand what the mother is going through but she’s pointing fingers without real evidence
This lady is a piece of work. We all go through major losses but we have to move on. Hers is no different
Every relationship involves arguments, it's not her fault that he died unless she really did do it on purpose.
Polygraphs are always a terrible idea. They can’t help, but can hurt
I’m not taking a lie detector test, I’m not putting my life in the hands of faulty equipment or the interpretation of an alleged expert
This mother is a monster with the constant guilt trips, you don’t have to prove ur innocence if you aren’t charged with something it just seems like the mother was mad with grief and looking for someone to blame
A teenager should not be forced and manipulated like this into a polygraph. Polygraphs are absolutely faulty and her grandpa is correct there is a ton of room for false implication there. It doesn’t mean she’s guilty when she refuses it means she’s smart.
Seeing as lie detector tests are legally inadmissable (because they cannot reliably detect guilt or innocence), a good lawyer would advise not to take one in any and every circumstance.
It's a test that the law, scientists and the courts would ignore, but sadly the public are completely convinced by.
Dr Phil needs to stop doing these tests. They tell audiences nothing but are presented as informative.
I can guarantee you if she took the test you wont move on.
Exactly
I agree. She wants to have an issue Right now. She said she won’t believe it either way so why should the girl take it
That lady is a piece of work. We all go through major losses in life but we have to move on. Hers is no worse
RUBBISH, SHE WILL MOVE ON. MOM FOR THE WIN.
The audience can stop clapping lmao
No
@@taurusking_1997 yes.
THE AUDIENCE ARE RIGHT TO CLAP.
In my opinion this young lady is innocent because she's never said anything bad about him and most guilty girls would play the victim card and gaslight that person.
She doesn’t need that girl to take a polygraph test. She wouldn’t accept the results, unless she failed, and that wouldn’t bring her son back. I hope she can learn to deal with her grief.
At first when I read the title I thought to myself wow she won't take it cause she knows she's guilty but after listening to her reasons why she doesn'twant to, I'm taking her side on not to and I think she's in a really hard position between doing so or not doing it.
Mother is in the wrong I understand she lost her baby and she’s devastated but she said whether she’s telling the truth or not she’ll have a problem with her. That girl can’t win
I agree. I understand what she’s going through but she’s pointing fingers without real evidence. I wish their was an update
Exactly. She’s a nasty lady
I'd fail. Even if I was innocent I'd be freaking out. Feel like those tests don't work properly for a lot of people.
If I was asked to take a polygraph test I wouldn't cause I have anxiety, so even if I wasn't guilty they would think I was.
Not how they work. They ask unrelated questions to set a baseline so it would adjust for your anxiety. The people who get false positives are the types who blame themselves for everything and the types who get false negatives are the opposite.
Actually on second thought..
The mother will never move on and never forgive whatever the result so the girl is on a hiding to nothing.
A test might pick up on her feelings of guilt about his death as anybody would have if they felt they could have done more to prevent an accident.
Never incriminate yourself. Guilty or innocent
How you fall side ways over a railing with out being push
That part
He was drunk dummy
Being drunk , trust me I felt in some ridiculous ways and the handle of the staircase was just way to low
Easily, lose footing because you’re intoxicated. You’re asking a pro because I’ve did it twice and thank god it wasn’t too far and I hit grass.
I actually can't believe the audience were clapping for the mum. My heart aches for her but if Malcom had ever loved Chloe, he wouldn't want her to take that test. He would want his mum to accept he's gone because of himself and for her to stop being in denial because of grief 😔 ☹️
but u don't know that he was gone because of himself. U are ASSUMING that she's innocent simply cuz she's a white chick. Girlfriends kill their boyfriends/husbands all the fukin time. It's nothing new. If she did kill, the guy would want her to be brought to justice and for his mom to know the truth
Naw, she looking someone to blame, irregardless of facts or a test, she still is going to look someone to blame, and the girl is right, not to take the test !
Exactly she’s pointing fingers without real evidence
First impressions are the girl is innocent
The whites in the comment section agree with you
@@StefanTheCannon whats race got to do with it? I can't tell if your being facetious
For me race has nothing to do with it. But I feel like that lady is pointing fingers at her without real evidence. I do wish they had an update
@@samadams2575 I agree with that
NO, SHE IS GUILTY. HENCE WHY SHE REFUSED TO TAKE THE POLYGRAPH TEST.
There is a huge problem if she is innocent and that test showing positive. What will rest of the world and the young woman's family think??
I don’t agree with the mother. She’s pointing fingers without real evidence
Her grandfather is right. Anyone who disagrees is dumb. You need to listen to your attorney even moreso if innocent than guilty. You have rights for a reason.
My heart goes out to the mother but the Teenager is right about not wanting to take a polygraph. Even if she was to take it, and she passed with flying colors the Mother has already indicated that they will never be "Cool" and that there will always be something between them.
Polygraphs are very unreliable and I wouldn’t take one either
My attorney/grandfather 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The moms hair is just.....horrible. like the style is fine but my god it's floating 4 feet above her head! 😳
Ok emily
That ur comment..mother is greuvung over her son and the girl directly across from her is probably guilty..and you are talking about her hair???
@@Soyouareseparated u
@@Soyouareseparated yes LMFAO. Twas hilarious as well
Literally what I was thinking!! Like wtfffff.....
I wouldn't have taken one either... but then I wouldn't have gone on national TV about it...
Idk this girl just give me bad vibes maybe she was just being a bratty girlfriend and it was a stupid accident but there's something about her that just rubs me the wrong way and let me tell u there is nothing stronger then a mother's gut instinct and if u feel that someone has harmed your child it's a feeling that is incredibly hard to shake so I feel for her immensely.
So basically the mom claims she would never leave him but then accuses her of killing him .. yes makes PERFECT sense
“I just wanna go to work” yeah right....
I don’t agree with the mother. She’s pointing fingers without real evidence
@@samadams2575 I AGREE WITH THE MOTHER, SHE IS RIGHT. TAKE THE TEST.
I don’t blame her at all. She and her grandpa are exactly right, they are easy to fail. She could just be nervous regardless and tell the truth but, still show a “lie”. I think the mom just wants someone to blame, I hope she gets some help. Don’t try to guilt her into it.
Listen to your lawyer. Don't do something that you are highly advised against by a lawyer.
"Were never going to be cool."
💯💯💯💯💯💯
But if she did not do it she should have nothing against her though
Accidents happen. Especially if you are intoxicated. The mother is a bully!
Karla is right "I loved him" (past tense) and the mother says "if you love my family like you say you do" present tense.
Well yh, people speak in past tense for dead people ffs
Because he is no longer in the present bud
She really doesn’t owe the family anything. As sad as the situation is she really doesn’t
maybe she feels guilty. coz in a way she did cause it. maybe by picking a fight with him when he's walking up the stairs
WTF? his death still wouldn't be her fault though. If you watch the full episode....it says he was intoxicated.
@@lannabryanna I think they're saying that even though she didnt cause it she may still feel guilty bc they were fighting and then he tripped so if maybe she feels a little guilty about what happened the lie detector test might show that and say shes lieing
Wow, I lost my cousin/bff when I was 13 in a similar situation and even at THIRTEEN i had (and still have) the brains not to blame the other person involved.
I grieved, I didn't accept the loss, i fell into depre$$ion, but eventually i moved on. It is ridiculous for a GROWN WOMAN to blackmail a young girl like this!
I don’t think this girl was the cause for this young man’s unfortunate death. She seems to be genuinely sad and sorry that he’s gone. I get that the mother is grieving and she misses her son dearly. But the truth is, she’ll probably always blame the girlfriend, no matter what a polygraph test would say.
Omg just take it
It’s not that hard
Like if you want people and your family to believe you then take the polygraph test OML 🙄
0:05
I always wondered about this......
I have severe cfippling anxiety too.
Even if I'm innocent I feel so much remorse and guilt.
But idk... I think she's more nervous about it being a false positive than her actually bring innocent? 🤔
The mom saying that she wouldn’t like her and they would never be cool no matter what so why take the test if the mom still isn’t gonna like her and still gonna blame her?
She really doesn’t owe the family anything if she wasn’t proven guilty. As sad as it is she really doesn’t
Do not take the test. How many times does she have to say no. No is an answer.
If she was black, they would locked her up anyways, no test even needed. Privileged. Lying gives me anxiety too. She ain't special.
We can’t help it that our ethnicity or skin color gives us advantages😘
Honestly the mother is pointing fingers without real evidence. I wish their was an update on this
That mother is so nasty
@@Unapologetically_american im glad you admit it
How dare that mother guilt that girl
dare?... why?
His mother just wants some place to put the blame. She already has put it on the young woman, but if she fails the polygraph she'll have every reason to blame her and no push back.
Bro this is my brothers baby mama and I never knew she made it to dr Phil
She’s acting like a nasty lady the mother
I get where both of them are coming from. Taking the test would help the mother and family grieve and get some closure.
However it's not fair to ask that of the girlfriend and say regardless, they will never be cool, that's not fair either.
Really she doesn't owe the mother anything. As sad as that situation would be, she doesn't owe the mother anything.
Exactly
She outright said the polygraph would do nothing. She would still indirectly putting the blame on her.
The mum wants someone to blame. She’s taking out her grief on the girl. The mum needs to grow up.
I agree
you obviously dont have kids
@@mitonrocha3351 ok and? We have also been through other major losses and didn’t act like this accusing people
because she didnt prove shes innocent, does not make her guilty
Exactly. That nasty lady is assuming without real evidence
She probably wouldn't take the polygraph because it's bunk science.
I would not take it either! With anxiety issues it could lead to a false positive. And as far as mama??? Running her mouth like that would make me DETERMINED not to take one!
I really do not beileve she murdered, or even accidentally did it. I think the mother wants to put it on her to feel better about the situation. I think this mother is grieving, and needs help and i hope she got it. it was smart for the girl not to take the test. She was damned if she did damned if she didn't
It's very tragic, and I feel terrible for the mother. But it seems like the mother will only be satisfied, if this girl goes to prison. Polygraphs aren't perfect and can't always prove innocence or guilt. Unfortunately, maybe the girl knows what happened, but no one else ever will.
I believe her, that she did not do this.
As a long time hiker, I have seen so many people taking risks near edges. Same with stair cases, especially when drinking!
Mama got issues...
duh she lost her son
I understand what she’s going through but she’s pointing fingers without real evidence
She’s a nasty lady
The burden of proof is usually on the person who brings a claim in a dispute. It is often associated with the Latin maxim semper necessitas probandi incumbit ei qui agit, a translation of which in this context is: "the necessity of proof always lies with the person who lays charges
close its "ei incumbit probatio qui dicit, non qui negat" the burden of proof is on the one who declares not on the one who denies
i’m sorry but this kinda blows my mind. the mom admitted that even if she passed the test, she’d still blame her. why would you push her to take it then? how would it help you move on if you’re still going to blame her either way?
she said that even if it was proven that the girl didn't push him the mother would still hold her PARTIALLY responsible because the girl caused a fight with her son that may have contributed to his death 1:46 to 2:27
I don’t agree with the mom either. She’s pointing fingers without real evidence. I wish they had an update
Yeah what a nasty lady
Wow either way this is sad. The mom is heartbroken and rightfully so but is she blaming her cause of her grief? With the polygraph I would be scared to take one even if I'm a hundred percent innocent.
It hurts a lot when a mother looses her child, but she must not use the girls love towards them to take the test, because she has her reasons, it's more like asking to just be the culprit and end the case, that's not proper, she has right to remain silent, and the only way is to find the physical Prof like finger prints, just let police take the case
Mamas wig needs settling down.
ikr LOL
@Sarah White loser
Her son just died and your makeup looks horrendous
So it’s ok to insult a woman (whose son passed away) about her wig, but when someone insults you about your makeup you call them a loser? I think the term I’m looking for here is ‘hypocrite’.
@@missloco5914 you look more like loser actually. The mother is grieving because her son is dead and you worry about her hair
My husband of many many years was sick for years and died in the hospital while I was home sleeping with my kids and my Father in law wanted someone to blame, and I understand that believe me I do! But he still tried to accuse me of being involved when he couldn't sue the hospital, and I was nowhere around!
On the fence on this one. Yes taking one would good just in case they do look at her it maybe help her stay outta trouble. But on the other side why can’t mom just move on? This man mostly fell down the steps or railing by accident. Just because she was there doesn’t mean she did it
The clapping after the mother is literally trying to manipulate the girl with guilt just makes the mother feel more empowered and right. Yeah your son loves you and what not. But he wouldn’t want you making someone he loves feel like a monster for something she didn’t do. But who’s to say if she did or didn’t. I’m leaning more towards him falling as an accident.
comments are open! hello everyone :)
Hi
That lady is accusing her without evidence. What a nasty person
YOU and all the others here defending the girl because she´s white , are the nasty ones. Flip the scenario you´d be losing your mind
@@mitonrocha3351 ok first of all.. my opinion has nothing to do with race. If it was the other way around my opinion would be the same way.
