Playground to Prison - True Crime Documentary
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 фев 2025
- In this re-release of an award-winning real crime documentary film, this film looks back at the case of Paul and Colt and the story behind their gripping juvenile cases in a small midwest town. The film includes interviews with police, family members, attorneys and the boys themselves, and follows their plight in prison as they grow up behind bars. It also includes an update on how the boys are doing today.
UPDATE: Colt was released from prison in 2019 after 10 years behind bars and is doing very well today. He continues to give back by giving public speeches to schools and universities, hoping to prevent other youth from experiencing life in the system.
Paul was released in 2017 after receiving a sentence modification. He spent 7 years behind bars. He, too, is reportedly doing well.

8:19 NEVER talk to the police assuming they are on your side!!!
These people clearly don’t watch true crime.
@@Mizmoon2020they even tell you it will be used against you...they are supposed to be so upstanding yet they lie to people every day!
@@Mizmoon2020 true...when I began watching and saw police could lie--I was surprised..
@@brendamyers6320 yeah I was surprised too that police could actually lie it's almost as if they were human too🙄
There is an unequivocal presence of ego in our Public Servants especially police who once they believe ur guilty regardless of no facts to support it they will do everything & anything within their power to get u irrefutablely..
In fact there are a plethora of cases where innocent people have gone to prison being mindfuked to guilt when that person didn't commit the crime(s) in the end..
There has been cases where police have found out their now victim was innocent and still allowed the procedure of injustice to carry on ..
This is sheer egotistical personification that has transformed into a narcissistic socialpath's tendencies that run alongside criminality displayed by police ironically enough..
Never talk to police they are designed to get u and never give the police permission to integregate ur children alone it's suicide ultimately again because they are designed to get u even when ur innocent once their minds are made up..
This can happen from the accused having some attitude or nervousness which in their minds resembles irrefutable guilt unequivocally..
Police lie all the time while setting psychological traps that underage kids with low i.q. don't have the mental capacity to see through the investigator's trickery to protect themselves being confused and afraid while falling in suit to the shenanigans exhibited by the adult investigator's bullying mental tactics to trap the juvenile that simultaneously has no professional representation as well as being fed to the wolves by our underhanding, low down dirty bandits, being the police feeding their egos in the fast lane feathered by the biggest injustice tyrannical system working together as a team ultimately to get u even if ur innocent.. Trust..
1. if you’re being charged with murder, never talk to the police without an attorney.
2. if your 12 year-old son is being charged with murder never let him talk to the police without an attorney.
3. If your attorney tells you to never let your 12-year-old son talk to the police without an attorney, never let him talk to the police without an attorney.
The cops weren't truthful with the parents
@@beckyperry9854it's disgusting they never tell the truth
But he did do it.
@@beckyperry9854 It doesn't matter what the charge is. Don't talk to the police without an attorney.
If your attorney says talk to police without an attorney, find another attorney
Paul’s mother made a good point. The courts wouldn’t even try an adult with the mental development of a twelve-year-old as an adult.
Why then would they try an actual twelve-year-old as an adult?
Yeah and that crossed my mind I haven’t even made it that far into the video but seriously
Tbh I'm surprised that this happened to 3 little white boys. It's common for poc kids to be tried as adults, but much less common for middle class white kids.
To clarify: it's still fucked up to try kids as adults. Their brain is literally not even done cooking yet.
We've all been twelve years old. Would YOU have done what that kid did? Would you have even thought about doing something like that?
@@lwscijunkie possibly. My pre-frontal cortex was still developing, thusI had no impulse control
@jesswecan1070 At 12 you know right from wrong- he made the wrong decision
If a lawyer tells you not to talk, don't talk!
exactly- watch the first 48 and see how many people confess to murder. The one's that remain silent end up with manslaughter charges or plea deals.
Why bother? They never listen/follow the advice..."Oh well; Enjoy prison; See you in 20 years!" Kids; If a friend is even talking about killing someone; RUN (don't walk), to the Police, and report it. They ARE NOT your "friend", nor do either of you have the faintest idea what you are getting yourself into!!! In prison, you are a #, and nothing else to anyone that matters. These kids will learn this the hard way.
@@brentfarvors192Shut up. Stop self snitching.
@@pennyp7382 How is it "self snitching", if they were planning on doing the crime, then snitching themselves...? Hell No! You go striaght to the cops, and say "This wasn't me! These dumb m'fers on some dumb chit!!!" Anyone that includes you in a murder IS NOT your "friend"!!! They WILL CATCH THEM, and they will lock you up right along with them (as demonstrated) Even the kid that stayed outside got time!
@@brentfarvors192 It was self defense from an abuser. Of course they won't admit that though.
My advice is, don't ever say anything bad about the other parent to your child. Children identify as being half Mom and half Dad, so when you say bad things about the other parent, the child internalizes that there is something wrong with them. This is also emotionally painful to the child as you are negative talking about something they love.
Raising a child IS NOT A CONTEST TO SEE WHO IS THE BETTER PARENT. Your children should not even know about your differences with the other parent.
Very true
Sooo true
Unless it's the proven truth
Diane,
Agreed, a good parent keeps adult stuff to themselves. My sperm burb always sent us girls gifts, never for his sons. My Mom & Dad (stepfather) skimmed and ensured there new gifts from him for all of us. They might give used gifts, never but the best from our biological. My sister over heard my Grandma telling Mom it was time to tell us kids the truth. My sister was 15 ish. I remember her & my older brother discussed and we 4 kids went to Mom and said we knew that we didn't want presents from him anymore. We were told what a jerk he was. We got to learn that on our own. Such a gift from our Mom, who took tremendous abuse, yet protected us kids from parent bantering. How blessed we were. Kids will find out on their own. Thanks for reminding us. 😢😊😊
@alysononoahu8702
I (respectfully) disagree with you on that. I’m a single Mom. My ex has not seen our 5yr daughter since Nov of last year, doesn’t pay a cent to help, moved 4hrs away And lost his license so, no hope in him coming to see her anytime soon. Just to name a few. It’s my job to raise her the best I can. To help her be able to stand tall once he eventually lets her down (which he has, many times). To help her learn how to pick up the pieces & herself. It’s Not my job to help her form an opinion of her father. I don’t And never will talk bad about him to her Or within earshot. I’ve always bent over backwards And paid hundreds to make sure they have somewhat of a relationship & always tell her he loves her lots. Putting it mildly my ex And I don’t get along at all But really it’s none of her business. Whether they are good or bad, every child needs to know both parents.
Just heart breaking ALL the way around. Very sad story.
Totally agree
They should be in detion center to 18
I’m so sorry for little Paul. He wouldn’t have been there if not for his friend Colt. His mom is wonderful and he is right he is blessed to have a mother like her
This man did something that 2 children wouldn't even talk about with the threat of prison and mental toll of murder.
There's enough blame to go around
I used to work in juvenile detention . It was unbelievable the crimes these kids committed without considering the consequences. One kid was 13 when he committed a horrific murder and he just got out at the age of 42
@ellybean5868 - Appreciate you taking the time to comment. We can only imagine what you've seen and heard. Juvenile facilities are truly surreal worlds.
I was in adult prison at 14
I’m glad Paul is doing well and I’m especially happy to hear he works with others to help in bettering their lives! Happy for both boys who are now young men…they have grown to take advantage of the system to better themselves 😊
Single moms stop putting men first. Dad’s need to be reminded that just because you divorce a woman doesn’t mean you divorce your kid. That boy should not have gone years without seeing his father. Divorced Dads should be seeing their kids every day even if it’s giving rides to school or activities. Kids need both biological parents. If both parents were involved with this kid this could have been prevented. Such a tragedy on so many levels.
And women should also realize because the relationship didn’t work out they shouldn’t use the kid as a bargaining chip or keep the father away
Kids need more than just 2 parents imo 3 to 4 is much better!
What if your dad died over seas
You are so right. I know this from first hand experience with my son.
@@meganbessenbacher7107”it takes a village” is so so true.
My perception of Colt has really changed after watching this. I used to think he was just an innocent boy but he was old enough to know what he was doing and also premeditated it. Also talked others into it to not be alone. He could've reached out to police, teachers, or anybody really if he was abused at home. At 15 you know what murder is and how serious it is.
At the same time he was also still hanging around with 12 year olds, indicating that he could have been mentally behind.
I respectfully disagree. Their brains are not mature enough to think ahead to the outcome, and you can see when they were going into court that they still didn't grasp the gravity of the situation. It's truly sad for ALL families involved. Sometimes, kids feel there's no one to talk to. And it's always easier looking at it from the outside, adult perspective. Do I think it's right? Hell no, there was definitely a kid that slipped through the cracks and took others down with him. I'm sure they thought he was cool since he was 3 years older, again lack of decision making and critical thinking.
@@FloridaB people tend to forget that they were 15 once and that 15-year olds are idiots. Colt was just a bigger idiot at that age.
However. The kid was named after a gun-brand. The gun used wasn't obtained on the street, he could easily grab it at home.
His father named him after his favorite gun.
@@wilpri imagine that being your dad..
Naming a child after a weapon.
Great production,and story! I’ve never heard of this story before.
@Sharkfighter13 - Thank you!!
This story is a good example of why parents must screen who their kid's freinds are. I cannot over emphasize the importance of this. If you have to...Move !
Great job, dad! "Go ahead, son. Confess! Never mind what our lawyer said."
🤦♂️
America has normalized violence to the point where a 12 yr old whose vision is in a tunnel can just 'close his eyes and pull the trigger twice', not realizing until afterwards exactly what he had done. Until now he has no idea why. 😢 It's like back when I was a kid when you ran away from home with your bundle over your shoulder thinking (after having read so many exciting stories) you were in for great adventures, when in reality by 3am you were cold, hungry and just wanted to go home to bed.
Number ONE is to ban the killing and lawless video games that turn our kids into wargame addicts and drives them crazy!
@@LarryButler-kp3se mkay
@TarquinTheTall I understand your comment 👍 and wish to add a small point of trivia:
I recently learned (from tv show: SUPERNATURAL😎), that a common WORD used for: *a cloth tied around a small collection of clothes or possessions, traditionally carried on the end of a stick by someone who has no home and travels from place to place, is “BINDLE”.* 😋
Recently, “bindle” has also become a word used for a *small packet of powder or single-use of street drugs.* 😐
It was self defense from the guys abusive dad from what I remember. Either way the social conditioning through brainwashing violent media makes it worse. If the systems didn't make money off of this they wouldn't be in jail.
@@judy-9999 a bundle I thought 🤔
I watch alot of you guys content. Some of it, I just find too long and drawn out.
But this. This is incredibly well produced. Camera work, editing, narration, music the whole 9. 👌
I would love to see more stuff like this.
I live in Indiana about 2 hours from where this happened. I remember seeing it on the news.
Me too too. This is interesting, fascinating, and just so important that we see things like this!
It’s amazing to me just how many people are dumb enough to talk with the police rather than asking for an attorney. Even when you’re innocent you should NEVER speak with the police without an attorney.
Ive seen pauls story on your channel!!!!! Thank you for this documentary style video.
@problematic_canik - Thank YOU for watching! Hope you have a great weekend!
Always listen to someone with years of experience in the field ! THAT YOUR PAYING TO REPRESENT YOU!!
This kids dad talked to a lawyer, got the advice and still screwed his son over.
yep. he knew better
Lawyer's cant MAKE YOU LISTEN...
this is why the son thought he 'knew it all' too.. leave in the guys vehicle.. wont get caught.. what could possibly go wrong..
Screwed his son over? The kid is a murderer.
@@KathrynTanner-t8fthat's dam right!! Take some responsibility.
😢😢 find myself have a 14-year-old boy and this just makes me so unsettled for young boys in general life is hard enough with all the changes but this is just unbelievable 🥺🥺
This was friden awsum thanku wondered what had happened 😳 excellent coverage
Perfect answer when his father said what did I do wrong! He was absent
Well done video.
Sad watching him work out & meditate 🧘♀️ talking about how when he goes to prison they aren’t playful at all heartbreaking 💔 he’s really just a boy that needed his mama
Boo fucking hoo. Poor murderers.
I know, that part really got to me despite what happened they were still kids 😢 I'm glad they were released early
Fine video!!
@briantampa1164 - Thanks! Hope you'll check out the hundreds of other stories on our channel as well. Have a great week!
@@CalamariProductions Yeah of course I will. I plan on watching a lot of them. I have a 10 hour flight across the pond in a few days.
Why do people think they know better than the lawyer they consult? Never talk to police without following a lawyers advice, especially true if innocent…..Just saying
Truth! Never ever speak to law enforcement without a lawyer period
Same with HR, cops aren’t looking out for your best interests. Ever.
Because their ego is bigger than their brain
never speak to police period, you have the right to remain silent, anything you do or say will be used against you in the court of law. Its part of the Miranda rights. The parents weren't there they don't know how much there son was involved, just him being there he's guilty of a crime.
YES. It's important the prosecutor flies in as blind as possible to the dog fight.
35:44 The little thug complains about his stepfathers drinking while excusing his mothers who was just as much of a drunk. He's in prison where he belongs
Theyre actually not in prison anymore. They're doing great🙌
great doc
@hfrt29 - thank you!
The bio father blaming the mother and stepfather what a looser. Why didnt he step up and get full custody.
How do you know he didn't try to?
@@christinajohnson2105because Colt didn’t even see him from age 7-12. What kind of a father just disappears?
Mother could have kept Dad away.@@joycewright5386
It's very disturbing to think those two 12 year olds happen to have the wrong friend!
That's a terribly narrow and judgemental way of view. At the end of the day, their destinies were well tied together and all children were found in the worst choice of a situation. Colt is changing the world now after all . God's work is in motion to remind us all that he is in control.
Paul looks like such an innocent child! And he seems so sweet and soft spoken!
They are lucky at least they are still breathing...... what about the victim???
Children make a lot of mistakes, and I understand that these children all three of them made a choice that was gonna affect them and their families for the rest of their lives and yet I still would with the young person actually filing for an appeal so that he could get resentenced, even at the risk of his future future I would say that it might be worth the risk only because at 12 years old, you don’t make rational decisions
On the other hand, if I was the prosecutor, in this particular case, I probably would’ve kept them in juvenile court as opposed to taking them to court and sending them to 30 years in prison
Most of us are not familiar with what it’s like in prison, but prison breeds criminals and so if or when these young men go to prison if they haven’t already, then they’re gonna be hardened when they get out and PTSD and all that other stuff is going to scar them for life so if it were my kid, I might be willing to take a risk like that but then again, I also understand the risk I’m taking, and my son would need to understand the risk that he is taking even if he still a kid yes there has to be consequences but why 30 years why not 8 1/2
Taking a life is a horrible thing, and I understand that it hurts not only the people involved, but it also put fear into the hearts of the community, but I also know that these were kids, and I also know that there were things that people did not know so there were extenuating circumstances that the court never got to hear and since these kids didn’t say anything about what was actually going on in that house, I would say that there was some information that was never presented and so the prosecutor worked with the prosecutor had and 30 years was the result when it could’ve been 65 years
You know that's a good question. And I think it's because the victim is dead in the ground. So nobody has to face the victim and deal with them. The offender is still alive and breathing, so they are there to wear. Society loved ones and anybody else involved has to deal with them.
@@chaddevine565 Yep in this culture, the victim is dead because they were "weak" so who cares about them?
I'm so glad their sentence has been changed! Im sure colt stepdad wouldn't want those kids to stay in jail until they're 60!
It shouldn’t take a lawyer (who they ignored 🤦🏼♀️) to tell parents to NOT LET THEIR KIDS BE INTERROGATED WITHOUT REPRESENTATION! No one should. And then Paul’s dad left it up to his 12 year old to decide if the plea was a good deal???
That's beautiful the ending made me cry
This was such a good documentary! The juvenile system in America is so different compared to England. 👍🏻
How
@sthembisonkomo4231 Young offenders under 18 wouldn't be given such long sentences. Also, the prisons are better living conditions..food, t.v and sometimes gaming consoles in cells etc.
The evidence shows that children who commit murder as a child and get out of prison around 21 are 95 less chances of commit more crimes
Yesss, hi my favorite crew! 🩷
Would they have killed this man if they didn't have access to guns? Would they have stabbed him or strangled him? I do believe that it was the two boys and they each went through with it thinking they had to because the other one was going to do it. Whatever the truth is, this was a stupid senseless crime.
I agree with you. They were feeding off each other's emotions.
Bad Wee Bastards!

So many years did colt have do sad story all the around 💖❤
@@cathleenmcmahan87949
Disgusting.
In that case, he got really lucky! Has a whole lifetime to show he's not that kid anymore...
I got a bad taste in my mouth when Colton’s dad was “teasing” Colton about him, “ having a bad desire to go prison.” Oh wait, I know what the bad taste is,…it’s puke. That happens to me, when people tell jokes that just aren’t funny. Colton’s expression seemed to say the same thing.
Some people deal with things differently than others.
It was him saying he regrets not listening to the lawyer. Forgetting the fact his child murdered a person, though. Kids will be kids, I guess smh
@@greatnesspros5689boys will be boys.
Not excusing murder....but why did this kid hate his stepdad so much?
Colt said his step-dad cane between him and his Mom. That he had a good relationship with her, until they married. Step-dad also drank at home, getting
mean-drunk, and his Mom was now drinking, as well. He suspected some abuse of her by him.
When the stepfather drank whiskey he would become violent and hit the boys, I think
Because people taught him he was a victim. All it did was make him bitter, resentful, and entitled.
@31968cd where do you hear that in this video? His step dad was mean when drunk.
@pattihawks353 thank you for explaining....makes sense
Why was that guy hanging around with 12-year-olds?
Exactly this. There’s something wrong with a 15 year old boy that is hanging out with multiple 12 year olds that are not even his little brothers.
They're easy to manipulate. Younger kids look up to and want to be liked by older kids. Which is why he chose kids so much younger than him.
I think we all know why they shot the 49 year old.
The Juvenile Justice System is an absolute mess. Equity of Reason is impossible in our system due to the access of resources in all sectors of the population.
Yes but. Why should jails raise ur kids. Cause u let them get outta control. I disagree
@@JennieAndrews-l8j Jails shouldn’t raise anyone’s children it wasn’t designed as childcare neither were public schools. Why don’t you read some books and get back to me! ⚰️🔪⚰️🤣🤣🤣🤣
NO THE PARENTS ARE THE PROBLEM... SHOULD ALWAYS BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR SCREWED UP MINOR CHILDREN.. JAIL FOR MOM AND DIRTBAG SON... STEP DAD ALREADY PAID... THANK GOD IT WASNT SOMEONE COMPLETELY INNOCENT.... RAISE YOUR SONS RIGHT LOSERS
The entire court and are a mess.
Jails and prisons are a means of punishment. That’s it…. The term rehabilitation is a fabricated lie that has recently been connected to the imprisoned, but it’s just a play on words to make the public feel better about it. If you’re locked up you’re being punished and that’s it. Theres no such thing as rehabilitation as that costs money. Money tax payers are not willing to spend on criminals and that’s just the reality of it.
Anybody else think the older kid looks like a young timothy mcveigh ?
Yeah 😂😂😂
Well put together documentary, sucks that these kids had to find out so young that there are consequences for your actions, punishment might have been a little harsh but they did deserve to be punished
@filipmurzea4137 - Thanks for watching and commenting. We always hope our videos and documentaries help open eyes to a system that most know little about. There are a lot of young people who assume (and are told by others) that juveniles can't get in as much trouble as adults who commit crimes. The footage and stories we film help show the full breadth of the system and what can happen. Thanks again for joining us on our channel.
Back up! Why was a prepubescent 12 year old boy,sneaking out of his house to begin with? That, to begin with, is way out of control! It's obvious that he didn't have any discipline his life.
And his sister knew. Why didn't she stop him?
@@aussiemouth747 my thoughts exactly!!
Come on that sounds crazy you never snuck out geez get over it it's people that are strict like you that make teens hateful
Some kids are "" undisciplinable"" , they do exactly what they want to do no matter what.
Prison has a little bit of everything in it
Oh Daddy, that is NOT a soldier, thats a psychopath.
Not psychopath but sociopath. Psychopaths are born, sociopaths are made.
The father is so wrong. Most 12 year old kids would go to their parents, sibling if they were told to kill someone. They dont get roped into killing.
The parents were divorced and from 7:00 to 12 the mother told him that she didn't know where the father was. This is the exact scenario that followed my divorce from my first wife. Even though I had visitation in California, visitation is not enforced. You have to hire a lawyer if you want to get it in the forest and that's difficult to do when you're already having it taken from your pay for two children. You're barely living on the edge yourself
Seems like a lot of the adults dropped the ball here and had a part. Philip should have secured his guns, as a responsible gun owner… Paul’s parents should have been more aware of Pauls comings and goings, and who he was hanging out with. Colts mother seems checked out and detached from her own son. Kids are smart and can pick up on being a “third wheel”. Colts father should have been more a part of his life than what he was. I’ll say this also, those violent and killing video games hurt children whose minds aren’t developed enough to use discernment.
Well said. Totally agree with you.
There is no evidence whatsoever that violent video games harm developing brains. Have you thought it’s possible that having a nation obsessed with guns could be a problem?
MELL, HOW TRUE!!!!! BEST WISHES!!!
Honestly makes me wonder what kind of a guy Philip was if his 12yo step son and his friends wanted to murder him so badly 🤔
I was wondering the same. They didn't talk about it at all! It was said that he hated his stepfather so much but why - nobody bothered to ask....
I am getting the words….NONCE PAEDOPHILE
I’m sure Phillip was great… these bouts are just all a waste of space
I'm sure Philip was great the step was just a physopath
Did the murder victims' families ever receive apologies?
Exactly that's what I wanna know
Doesn't seem to be on the agenda, sadly. SMH.
At sentencing most likely they got the standard apology designed to show remorse and to try to gain sympathy from the judge? I imagine that is all they get.
Guns don’t just, “go off.”
He's 18. He can go to adult prison but but he's still 3 years away. From being able to have a drink legally, which is absolutely ridiculous.
And that poor man. Well, this is what happens when there.'s guns in the house and the name your kid after your favorite manufacturer good old colt😮😮😮😮

They know right from wrong
Imagine the many years of incarceration she could’ve saved her brother from…if she only told her mom about her little brother leaving that night.
So his mom was also a "drunk", but the "mean drunk" step-dad is dead. Was that even established he was abusive?
Oh, and let me get these younger kids involved.
....and I heard him say the step-dad got in between him and mom, and he didn't see his bio dad for several years. Who's the blame for that?
Is his Mom listening now?
Ugh...
This is all a sad cautionary tale.
😢
RIP to Phil.
Worked with chase Williams at veada in new Paris Indiana. And my sister in law lived in a house that colt lundy lived in right before her a few years ago. Now I live about 15 mins from where this happened.
Why not plan to get a job and save up money for 3 years and leave.....why someone had to die to chang your life....smh
❤
He NEEDS to be able to be released. Prision is THE WORST ANSWER. He would be totally lost.
Some women put men first before there kids shocking they need think of there kids
Their kids
The sisters looks like they are excused the stepfather little they know about his own family. They need to reevaluate themselves and think about the kid and why he did what he did.
I bet Phil Danner & his family & friends wish he could appeal his death sentence.
That's a good comment. I am not a fan of step-parents, male or female, I had them both. Living with a mean drunk does something to the brain. I plotted the murder of my mean, drunken step-father, was going to toss a lit cigarette into his bed, but he had dogs so I decided not to because the fire would consume them also. That being said, your comment was a good one.
@@greenbeagle13 I'm sorry you went through that. I'm a bonus mom. Our son always knew that we worked as a team. His mom & I end every conversation with "Love you!" & we mean it! I have other kids who have asked me to be their mom & grandmother. Not all 'steps' are bad. But I know where you're coming from. I guess that's why I was always willing to step up & step in.

@Simonsayshmp - Thanks for watching and bringing up the updates on them. If you go to our Calamari Productions RUclips home page and type in "Colt" and "Paul" in the search bar, you'll see updated videos on both of them. Thank you for asking!
Sad story all round.
It’s incredible to me how many people are saying how wrong it is that the kids shouldn’t have talked to the police without a lawyer present. They murdered someone. They should have been caught. They should have admitted to it. It went like it should have.
We don’t murder if we aren’t murderers at heart. We are born and raised, however poorly. But many an orphan has survived neglect and abuse to become upstanding citizens. No excuses, as two psychologists found who interviewed thousands of criminals, “ we did it because we wanted to “
was the response from thousands. Read the criminal mind, it’s not a surprise. We are all one bad decision away from disaster.
Watch, 'Step Inside tge Circle'.
We know so much more now about what trauma Will do to the brain And how we think And Look at things period And Trauma can be as something as simple as Your body already being in fight flight And your mother tells you no For a reason you don't understand and will not explain it period I've studied trauma comma I've studied Addictions comma and I've studied criminal Behavior period 98 of those in prison have had Hi ACE scores. 98 % of those who have addictions are tge same, chemical addictions or otherwise
The system is so messed up, they don't consider everything.
Often times it's a one size fits all prosecution.
I'm so glad that this boy was released.
My heart goes out to both these bots and the step and his family it's just a sad situation all the way around.
PARENTS !!! We have got to do better for these kids.
The system doesn't love your kids .
You have to love them beyond yourself they need that.
Maybe dont kill other human at age of 12 .....
Well ya but you don’t know the motive. I’m 37 and a 12 year old is still a kid to a point even tho at 12 I knew killing is wrong depending on the circumstance…
azolt do not be a foulish
Washburn correct
@@timothywait9457what’s a foulish?
horse_chick it means wrong
Adult crime adult time. I think they got off easy
Did anyone notice glee in Colts eyes when he said they shot him. Subtle but noticeable. Frightening
No I didn't notice that
@nikki, can you timestamp that please?
in the statement in the statuettes Aq3 I have a perfect memory of my heart ❤️

Why would you let your 12 year old be questioned without a attorney? Also, if Colt’s dad loved him so much, why didn’t he see him for 5 years? I think that the boys definitely deserved punishment. However, I’m glad that they both got reduced sentences.
Because people are generally ignorant about what the system is all about. This family will be struggling with the fallout from their decisions for the rest of their lives. Additionally, why are they allowing their sons to hang out with a 15 year old at age 12? There is a huge difference between 12 & 15 and lots of trouble can come from allowing your children to be influenced by older kids.
That bio-dad is a coward 😢
I don't believe Colt was ever abused.... even psychologically ... my Dad was an alcoholic and there were rough times and sadness, but never did i lose respect & always honored my Dad who eventually overcame alcohol.
There's something off with Colt ... you can taste it ... the opposite with Paul
7 years in jail is no where enough punishment for murder. What a joke
Not funny
@@alysononoahu8702 you think 7 years is fine?
I hate the fact that they're only talking about the murder of black guy getting killed there's a reason why those boys killed that guy these kids don't look like the average you know gang banger and I'm going around that guy was doing something to them and they got tired of it guaranteed
Well done again. It is important people know kids are tried as adults and sent to adult prison. Maybe it can change if people see it for themselves.
@addie_is_me - Thanks for watching. Many people (kids and adults) have no clue kids can be tried as adults. We've also had several kids tell us over the years that gang members will enlist them to do crimes and tell them, "even if you get caught it's no big deal. You're a juvenile." We hope our videos show what can happen, regardless of how young a kid might be.
Should be STILL IN PRISON FOR 99 years!! Him and his buddies should've been held accountable for the rest of their lives!!! What about the victim and victims of murders? Their lives was cut off when they took the lives of their victims or victim!!! Why should they be free to roam the streets with law abiding citizen's

This is a great comment but sadly reading lots of other comments I don't think people care. They were all children. A 12 year old should NEVER be tried as an adult. It's total madness
They never look at the problem of guns. The adults should be held accountable for the guns to get in possession of children. Guns need to be treated like the deadly weapons they are
Amen.
NOTHING TO DO with guns!!! Seriously; Shut up! If not with a gun, he would have stabbed him instead...Grrr!!! "If not for the cars..."
stop blaming weapons..
a chainsaw is also a deadly weapon.. vehicles kill 8OO % more ppl by far than guns, so do we outlaw them..?
Education is the key..
hav kids put the video controller down and teach them how to use a hammer, drill, and yes, a firearm.. the Right way.
to respect it..
even if its reaching them abt the results and damage they can cause..
Maybe there should be sufficient controls/ regulations in place that make it extremely difficult for children to have unsupervised access to guns.
Access to guns isn't a factor. If you want to kill you will try to in any other way. Some kids have used hammers, fire, etc.
@@joelsommer5765what utter crap. Guns make it way to easy.
@@joelsommer5765 Sure, Colt would have invited his friend through the window to help kill his step dad with hammers. Were they going to throw the hammers from across the room?
Does this stream anywhere
@tonylabona8886 - only here on our channel right now. Thanks for watching.
God bless you, sweetheart. I hope you succeed in life. I hope you can put all this behind you and have a good life. All of you, their first step to healing is forgiving
I feel horrible for these parents and their children! I believe that kids are exposed to way way too much gun violence in their video games that they play all day everyday!
It's sickening to see people hate their ex's more than you love your children.
Amazing, he couldn't go to his father.
This was way too premeditated and planned to be a few mins before.
Paul's parents were there to make an adult decision. They took the deal then they reneged.
How many kids did the state Supreme Court give this concideratuon too?
I wonder what is happening with Paul’s case
It says at the end. He won and was released after 7 years. Colt was released after 9 years
I'm glad for Paul.......I remember some of the things I've done too and years later I haven't got a clue how I thought this or that was okay to do.......GOD FORBID ANY ONE OF US SHOULD GO THROUGH LIFE WITHOUT CHANGE..
If colt had issues with his stepfather he could have talked to a counselor at school. He could have rung cps. He could have done a lot of things beside killing. If its that easy to kill. Then there is something wrong with those kids.
He could have asked to be moved to his father’s custody.
This right here, is crazy!!! I’m so conflicted and I just don’t know what to say without offending someone.,. But this is… crazy. I’m crying for so many different reasons…
You cannot be peer pressured into murder. It is not trying a cigarette. You have to have it in you. I do not like his father or that doctor making excuses for him. Of course, his father is standing by him, like his son, he thinks he did nothing wrong, and he thinks the kid is the victim. Makes no sense to me. His son is a murderer. Someone should be forcing him to face that he is not the victim! But no way he should be facing adult prison. That is ridiculous. This little pog should NOT have been tried as an adult. I don't understand how that happens.Why have a juvenile court if you don't use it for 12 year olds.
That's obviously wrong because it's exactly what happened, children cannot be culpable of murder because their brains aren't developed, their process in the brain of decision making isn't developed enough untill 21 , so children should not be tried in a ADULT COURTS
Im glad I never gave in to my intrusive thoughts. I had an alcoholic abusive step dad too and i probably thought about killing him hundreds of times as a child. A CHILD. Because i felt that was the only way out. it was awful. now that im a parent myself, it's unbelievable what I went through and a shame.
@angelfrankenfine - sorry to hear about what you went through. Sadly, we've heard similar stories during our 25+ years filming inside the child welfare/juvenile justice system. People like you can actually be a big help to others who might feel they are alone. Thank you for taking the time to tell your own personal experience. It's important to hear.
My father is an evil man. He likes young girls. I found out how I was born through him and now he runs from me every time I come around. How I wish a lot of fathers could see fear when they see themselves as a stoppable force when a immovable object heads their way
You named your son after a gun ?? That says it all !!
My brother named his son Jax from that stupid biker tv series
Paul's parents blew it. Never give a detective consent to talk to your minor son without an attorney present.
There are people that can learn from this, if you are too strict on your kids it makes them hateful and reasonable remember that. Everybody makes mistakes and we definitely expect them from children of this age
But why is it we care now that he is a kid but let him turn to an adult and everyone has a different opinion.
How cool to not give your child a "non -frilly" name but rather name him after a gun. Brilliant reasoning.
How true!!!!! ❤
It's bad enough that you killed the man, but then you think of every way that you can to justify it by degrading his name. Even though he's not here to defend himself...
BECAUSE YOU KILLED HIM.
I'm not going to snitch on my brother. Bet she regrets that idiot decision. Rules are there to keep you and others safe.
EXACTLY! BAD -big sister.
leonardodalongisland he spanks her bare bottom
I dobt feel we can judge anything if we aren't wearing their shoes. We dont know tge entire emotional and physical situation. @leonardodalongisland
Don't try and blame the effing sister. Asinine.
Most people who sneak out don't sneak out to shoot somebody. Even if he didnt do it then, he would've did that when he got time, regardless if she stopped him that night or not. His sister couldn't have prevented this.
