Unfortunately as a young man myself when you’re a teenager you know better than everyone else, and will just tell your mother what she wants to hear just to stop them getting on your back my and being annoying no matter how much they’re only doing it because they care my mum had no idea what I was upto when I went out just told her I was staying at a mates house she trusts to stop her worrying when I was getting smashed in a random field till god knows when in the morning. there was literally nothing she could’ve done, infact she did more than most to actually be interested in what her child was doing online which is rare and then surprisingly actually got the truth of who he speaks to aswell and then followed it up and got it checked out. not only could she not do any more she went way above and beyond for what the vast majority of parents do and yet had the most unfortunate outcome. Very sad coming from the perspective of someone who can relate to the son. in retrospect, I have no idea what I’d say to my young self to get myself to listen and tell the truth to a parent of what I was getting upto
This case is proof that predators come in all shape's and sizes. This guy's looks like he's 14. Who would have imagined just by looking at him that he was capable of evilness.
Everyone is capable of evil. Most people need to be pushed towards it from an early age or for a long time, some people don't need any push and will willing engage in evil acts.

Hey UK here just to clarify once you are 18 in the UK you are considered an adult and often you can get housing free of charge from the government it’s called Housing Benefits (Government Assistance in the US) and Universal Credit (food stamps in America but it’s actual cash between £600 to £1,000 a month) if you are deemed to be homeless and not working - this is available to you from the age of 18 which is how Lewis was able to live on his own…. Great video x
@watchmejumpstart many private lets accept payment via housing benefit from people on unemployment benefits. They must show to be actively looking for work to maintain payments though.
That's such a beneficial system for the lowest income living people because America doesn't have that at all right now. Unless you have kids and stuff the only help you get here is food stamps. We literally have such a huge homeless people problem and it's getting so out of hand... Then the people in charge are so callus about "helping poor people" that they just don't and then complain about that good people can't afford to keep up with inflation and housing and the balance between their income. It's honestly such a mess and I think our country would be so much better off if we could have a system like yours. The pricing here is like everything requires people to be financially well off or you will greatly struggle to be able to keep up with your bills each month.. my mom runs a local small business we have ran for 42 yrs and we are having to move because new people bought the building we are in and they have plans to renovate the entire place and so we are looking for a new location to move to and holy cow the rental climate is INSANE.

It was heartbreaking listening to Breck’s mum, Lauren . Lauren said that one of the reasons that they moved to England was because it was a much safer place to bring up kids .
She must have felt betrayed. All that probably changed when Breck died. She probably realized that her thoughts about bringing up kids in the UK being more safer were false.
This predator was next level. When the other boys in the game chat would tell Breck that they were sus Louis would threaten to shut down their gaming. He knew that they loved to game and have that social outlet. What total manipulation
Yeah, that's so next level. The type that tells their kids they'll take their only nintendo 64 controller away for the evening if they don't eat their broccoli, knowing that they love playing their nintendo 64. That's next level, wow.
@@Jj1984. I mean.....it's a video game. No game is that damn important and if it is so deep that "he knew they loved that game, he traumatized them"? That's more of a reason they shouldn't be playing.... come tf on. It's a video game.
as someone who was groomed im glad you dived into this story about it. i've seen plenty of other people covering this murder but they always say 'oh lewis always lied' not that lewis was grooming him. just ty for going over that!
Woke up in the middle of night, watched this episode within minutes of it being posted, woke up officially in the morning and within minutes noticed it’s been updated - Impressed! Like others, your channel(s) are so well done and satisfying and accurate, we just love you more for things like this! Thank you for artfully informing, touching our lives with your creations.
The police in the UK are walking over the public they are nothing but criminals themselves ☝️ the difference is that they have a pass and get away with it.....
I KNEW IT! Thought i recognized the other dude from somewhere else so i googled "Lewis Daynes" to make sure. Sure enough, a bunch of images of James Fairweather came up, so i figured maybe i was just crazy 😅
I’ve heard of this case so many times but hearing it again is just as impactful as the first time. Breck and I were born on the same day, same year and it reminds me how precious life is. Breck’s mom is incredible, her resilience is inspiring. Breck was so handsome, talented, and special. Lewis had to destroy something that was the complete opposite of him. Lewis Danes could fry for all I care and I’m no death penalty advocate.
I reconnected with a woman I grew up with, & while hanging out with her, I met her younger brother, who had been born after we had been younger. He told me all about his "mentor," a man I had known from before this young man had been born, who I always thought seemed sketchy. I asked questions & finally decided that the man had groomed him & several other young gay or bisexual men. I slowly brought it up & he slowly realized it was true & eventually broke ties with him. His entire family someone never realized that he had been groomed.
I don’t think the authorities were indifferent, the recording is a dispatcher, they’re not police or ambulance or fire brigade they just take details and as you can hear she’s typing at the same time. They hear 100’s if not 1000’s of calls about horrible things everyday, they’re job is not to get emotional. The guys saying he killed someone, she’s talking to a killer not a victim. And and arrogant one at that, the whole time she’s relaying everything he’s saying to police and ambulance. She isn’t the authorities so I don’t see how they’re was indifference?
Due to "1000s" being the number OP used, I'm 99% sure they're referencing the grooming gangs in Rotherham where 1000s of teen girls were groomed into prostitution and the police did nothing out of fear of being Ray Cyst.
Seeing the image change in 7:35 to 7:45 broke my heart. First image- a mom hugging her son with a huge smile on her face. The second image- a mom holding a framed picture of her deceased son. The pain in her face makes my stomach hurt. If looks could kill every official who dismissed her concerns would be struck down
Hearing stories like these always make me realise that I was so lucky to be able to get help when I got groomed by an adult man when I was a teen... May Breck rest in peace
As much as I absolutely hated how arrogant and just ugh he was during the call, I honestly don't think he would have responded better to the operator doing it any other way. I feel like if she tried to take control of it, he would have stopped answering...he wanted a captive audience to make sure he got his whole (fake) story out.
I know about this story and remember when it happened. This one really hurts, the mother is still in anguish. Poor breck, great young man. Ruined by a monster
Oh I remember this horrifying case. I can't begin to fathom what his parents and siblings went through and are still going through. Rest in paradise Breck. 🙏 ❤️🌹
I've been a follower since the early days and I must take a minute to tell you that your work is awesome and thoroughly entertaining. Thanks for all your hard work! 🙏 🕊 🕊 Rest in peace Breck 🕊 🕊
Funnily enough I was mates with this guy in college. We were in the same politics class. He told me he was Israeli and one of his nicknames in my group was 'Tel Aviv' (we all had crass names for one another). In our class he would always have his laptop out and would be gaming (playing World of Warcraft) and he showed me some of the coding projects he was working on. He was the only one who sat at the back of the class with his back and computer screen to the wall. One day he just vanished from college but nobody really questioned it (we never spoke to him outside of classes, lunch breaks or our field trips). Then a few months down the line, our politics teacher began the class by saying 'Do you remember Lewis who was always on his laptop?' and then pulled up a BBC news article about him being sentenced for murder. We were all quite shocked. Even though he was quiet and always on his laptop, he didn't seem like that sort of person. The only real notable thing he did was one day quickly pack up his things and run out of class saying no more than 'I need to go' and that was one of the last time we saw him. It's strange to think that if one of us had been a bit more of a friend to him and spoken to him outside of class then this may not have happened, or it could have been one of us killed instead. How very bizarre.
What a beautiful boy, I couldn’t help but think about my 10 month old boy while watching this. I don’t know what I would do if this was him… I cannot imagine. Makes me worried for when my boy gets to the age where he will wanna go online, play games and chat with friends. How do you give your kids the independence of doing what they want .. and also make sure that nothing like this is going on without invading their privacy?
Sick bastard! All senseless! I hope that family sued the police dept who felt that this wasn't worth looking into. Breck had such a bright future ahead of him and it was taken from him for nothing!
I really appreciate that you included hotlines and resources for people to go to if they find themselves in a similar situation. Thank you for making this video, may Breck rest peacefully.
This is why you kids should ALWAYS listen to your parents, i know we might moan a lot but trust me we do it because we love you! Stay safe out there ✌🏼💙✊
@@sheenamaclean8324 Not at all, there was another case of a guy harrassing nonstop his ex-gf, she went to the police a few times and they did absolutely nothing, he ended up killing her, UK police force is a JOKE
In 1972, at the age of 52, my father was murdered by the Lennox Sheriffs of S. Calif. He was driving home from work one night. It was along a dark, rural road that his small car was sideswiped by a much larger vehicle, forcing my father's car off the road and into a power pole. My father sustained injuries to his liver, spleen and kidneys. Even so, he was able to pull himself from the wreck and stagger toward the road. Neighbors in the area reported the wreck. When the sheriffs got there, they "assumed" my father was drunk and began shoving him around. Without any kind of tests, they shoved him into their car and threw him to the drunk tank. When he tried to protest, they beat him severely with their sticks and left him bleeding and unattended on the floor of the cell. Only when he began to "bloat" (from the internal injuries) and turn yellow (ruptured spleen) did they call an ambulance. Despite all the identification in his wallet (plus over $300 that "disappeared") they NEVER call my mother. The doctors at the hospital were able to stabilize him long enough so he could call my mother. He died several hours later in surgery. My father was a respected member of our community, a pharmacist, a husband, a father of two, a WWII veteran (a Navy medic attached to a Marine unit). He supported various charities. And he was my dad. What happened to the sheriffs? Not a damn thing. My mother hired an investigator who did some digging. He told her "these guys are dirty". He then advised her to move me (16) and my sister (9) out of state because it was "going to get ugly". At 2 a.m. one morning, my mother got a phone call telling her she was "gonna get acid in her face" if she continued with the investigation. The caller also told her he knew where her kids went to school and if she wanted to see them alive she better drop the case. Terrified, she dropped the case. There was no investigation, the sheriff's department literally got away with murdering an innocent man-my father. These Gestapo thugs don't care who you are. And if you think there is "justice for all" in this country, I say BULLSHIT!!
@@lauraarcher1730 Thank you for the kind thoughts!! That was a very difficult time for us. My mother sold our house in S. Cal and we moved to Washington to be closer to her brother. He had a small farm and we did OK. But yeah, it took MANY years to get past the anger of what had been done to my father.
@@Toxus8 First of all, I am not "venting". I'm sharing a true story, just like the ones you seem to enjoy on this site. Second, are you seriously "laughing" your ass off at the tragedy my family suffered?? If anyone needs a therapist, it is YOU, bro!! You are obviously a very cruel and thoughtless troll.
It’s too bad the law enforcement accountability movement was co-opted by a movement purely dedicated to destabilizing this country and getting its ‘founders’ wealthy so they could buy real estate. More white people are abused and murdered by police but clearly it doesn’t matter. I’m a victim of cops too, as are many people I know. I’m so sorry this happened to your father and your family. It’s infuriating!!!!
I recently found this channel on my way to work I plugged my phone up and listen to crime stories and podcast because of how far I live from my job.. and I have to say I don't know the narrator of these videos but I love them.. thank you so much from a new subscriber from Alabama..
The arrogance of this guy when he tells the dispatcher; " Can you NOT. interrupt me during this part" , as if HE is in charge. That poor mother did everything she possibly could to keep her son away from this freak - maybe if the police had listened we wouldn't be watching this today 😢
Awesome commentary as always. I must say this is monsters is one of my top three favorites on RUclips. The other two are dreading and that chapter. I just wish you could do more videos more often.
I remember seeing this as a documentary many years ago. My son was too young for online gaming at the time. This case made me put serious rules in place and has never left my mind. I always refer to this if I'm explaining my online worries and people say, "ohh, it won't happen to your son." I bet that poor mother thought the exact same way. Heartbreaking 😔💔
My bf and I both think social media/messaging apps should strictly be +18 because of the insane amount of child predators and groomers online. These companies could actively be protecting children yet they don’t and things like this happen. RIP Breck.
they could but it opens up a can of worms. Like, how to prove age? Just checking I am 18+ doesn't work. They can request for an ID, but that means private companies now have a copy of your ID which can be exploited. They can sell it secretly to other companies or maybe get stolen by hackers. They could promise to delete and never keep your data after verification but that raises a question if they're lying. To protect children they could also monitor chats but that would mean everyone's giving up their privacy. And how will they monitor it? An AI can be circumvented and worked around, hiring people to monitor it is very exploitable and will subject poor humans to seeing boatloads of false positives (naked adults) and positive (children) which is a very uncomfortable job. Even if AI manages it that means it will have to save cp on their server as evidence. I agree with protecting kids but what's an effective way to do it?
Thank you for this episode! It was very informative for me as a parent with teen children exploring the internet and playing online games. Such a tragic story to learn from. I love ❤️ your channel
Thank you for all your hard work putting these videos together and spreading awareness! These monsters are horrible, my heart goes out to the victims family and friends 🙏🏽
So glad I found your site. The stories are fantastic and your narration is superb. The other site is great too. Keep them coming? Also, I so love your personal comments.
Love your content as usual but one small touch that I miss about your channel is small snippet of Elaine Campioni in the intro. It’s a chilling flare to the content that really took your channel to the next level 🥲 Would love to hear this again in the future. I wish you nothing but blessings & success in your journey ❤️❤️
I have a feeling that if she had a daughter who was being groomed the case would've been taken a little more seriously by her peers and the police. The mother literally did EVERYTHING she could and no one helped because "it was a phase."
I didn’t even notice lol but I was confused about the comments ; I just assumed it was because of his age . I was like “ he don’t deserve privacy “ lol
The chuckle about being a problem for all parents was good. Its weird he thought he could lie in person like he did on the internet. He thought he got so good at telling stories.
"Not Lewis" ~ that was Great 😆👍🏻 (This case reminds me of that terrible case of that young teen who killed his online videogame buddy over like $2 bucks worth of in game currency points...) It's so messed up.
Do whatever you want JILES But never let us down and stop posting please. You have inspired me and am thinking of doing this next year since we have a lot of cases in my country.
Like, I can get jealous of people in stable families too but what a way to prove your own unworthyness other than to destroy a good, loving family? At my lowest low I'd never think that that was even an option. I hope his family can heal somewhat from this unbearable heartbreak.
I had pictures of the wrong person in the video so I had to make some corrections.

ele é um doente? é um psicopata cercado de idiotas que se deixaram manipular por ele..os assassinos de columbaine ficaram meses do computador comprando armas, bombas, fazendo esquemas e os pais não se deram ao trabalho de dá uma olhadinha no que eles estavam fazendo, a mãe de um apareceu com aquela cara de tonta pra dizer que ele era um bom menino, só passava o tempo todo trancado no quarto no computador porque era tímido,.esses pais não conhecem os filhos, tem psicopatas embaixo do nariz deles mas não se dão ao trabalho se verificar o que esses doentes estão fazendo..conversa sse com o filho, falasse com ele sobre esse cara ser perigoso e que ele iria ficar um tempo sem Internet..bloqueava o cara..ficou feito barata tonta pedindo ajuda, contrassenso um detetive..a tonta ainda acreditou que o maluco ia arrumar estágio pra ele..só rindo..ela tem mais três filhos, vamos vê agora se aprendeu a lição ou vai deixar as meninas soltas no computador até que um pedofilo mate elas?
As a parent of teens this online stuff is terrifying.
May Breck rest in paradise. Lewis is a sick and twisted monster. How could he do this. My heart goes out to his family and friends.
Yes, see you in the Resurrection Breck.💕
And what. Evidence have you both for those statements????
I don't remember the channel owner saying Brett was a christian. 😑
I hate the story cuz this is a case where a mom tried to do everything that she could and people just ignored her It's so sad
It was heartbreaking listening to Breck’s mum, Lauren . Lauren said that one of the reasons that they moved to England was because it was a much safer place to bring up kids .
She must have felt betrayed.
All that probably changed when Breck died. She probably realized that her thoughts about bringing up kids in the UK being more safer were false.
This predator was next level. When the other boys in the game chat would tell Breck that they were sus Louis would threaten to shut down their gaming. He knew that they loved to game and have that social outlet. What total manipulation
Yeah, that's so next level. The type that tells their kids they'll take their only nintendo 64 controller away for the evening if they don't eat their broccoli, knowing that they love playing their nintendo 64. That's next level, wow.
@@davidmetzler6670 I have a little trouble understanding things sometimes and I feel like maybe you are making fun of my comment.
*lewis and yeah…he’s a predator…that’s what they do.
@@davidmetzler6670 are u making fun of their comment?
@@Jj1984. I mean.....it's a video game. No game is that damn important and if it is so deep that "he knew they loved that game, he traumatized them"? That's more of a reason they shouldn't be playing.... come tf on. It's a video game.
as someone who was groomed im glad you dived into this story about it. i've seen plenty of other people covering this murder but they always say 'oh lewis always lied' not that lewis was grooming him. just ty for going over that!
You gotta be a special kind of dumb to get groomed at any age.
Way too many people think that admitting a mistake is worse than making the mistake in the first place. Glad to see this channel rises above that.
I’m not sure what the correction was?
What?
Woke up in the middle of night, watched this episode within minutes of it being posted, woke up officially in the morning and within minutes noticed it’s been updated - Impressed! Like others, your channel(s) are so well done and satisfying and accurate, we just love you more for things like this! Thank you for artfully informing, touching our lives with your creations.
Big facts
Samesies ❤️❤️❤️
such class... love this content
AGREED!!!!!
The accuracy, quality, and volume of this content always blows my mind.
This is indicative of why I respect you and your content so much - extremely accurate, even correcting mistakes.
You believe everything your told?
@@jimmydcricket5893 You mean "you're".
@@miyannaable 😁
Too bad the creator is currently being investigated for child molestation and animal abuse.
@@jimmydcricket5893 They never said that. Weird comment...
I remember this case. This could have been avoided had the police done their job. How horrific. Another great vid ! Thanks Jiles !
as per usual
The police in the UK are walking over the public they are nothing but criminals themselves ☝️ the difference is that they have a pass and get away with it.....
What year was this ?. Obama when did he finish?.
@@repentbeforeitstoolate..8239 this was pretty recent
Yeah there were some pics of James Fairweather in the previous video. It's alright! We all make mistakes! He's a monster too.
This is true.
@@thisisMONSTERS hi mate, i take it you saw the message on the other episode and corrected the pictures?
I didn't expect it to be so quick!!
If it’s alright why’d you bring it up?
@@jacejackson1993 I brought it up because the conversation was headed that way.
I KNEW IT!
Thought i recognized the other dude from somewhere else so i googled "Lewis Daynes" to make sure.
Sure enough, a bunch of images of James Fairweather came up, so i figured maybe i was just crazy 😅
I’ve heard of this case so many times but hearing it again is just as impactful as the first time. Breck and I were born on the same day, same year and it reminds me how precious life is. Breck’s mom is incredible, her resilience is inspiring. Breck was so handsome, talented, and special. Lewis had to destroy something that was the complete opposite of him. Lewis Danes could fry for all I care and I’m no death penalty advocate.
I reconnected with a woman I grew up with, & while hanging out with her, I met her younger brother, who had been born after we had been younger. He told me all about his "mentor," a man I had known from before this young man had been born, who I always thought seemed sketchy. I asked questions & finally decided that the man had groomed him & several other young gay or bisexual men. I slowly brought it up & he slowly realized it was true & eventually broke ties with him. His entire family someone never realized that he had been groomed.
A kid getting groomed in the UK and indifference from the authorities?
I'm sure this hasn't happened literally 1000s of times before.
I don’t think the authorities were indifferent, the recording is a dispatcher, they’re not police or ambulance or fire brigade they just take details and as you can hear she’s typing at the same time. They hear 100’s if not 1000’s of calls about horrible things everyday, they’re job is not to get emotional. The guys saying he killed someone, she’s talking to a killer not a victim. And and arrogant one at that, the whole time she’s relaying everything he’s saying to police and ambulance. She isn’t the authorities so I don’t see how they’re was indifference?
@@Sofyasemyonovnamarmeladov I'm pretty sure he's talking about the cops that Breck's mom went to about the grooming. The 999 operator did fine.
Due to "1000s" being the number OP used, I'm 99% sure they're referencing the grooming gangs in Rotherham where 1000s of teen girls were groomed into prostitution and the police did nothing out of fear of being Ray Cyst.
Seeing the image change in 7:35 to 7:45 broke my heart. First image- a mom hugging her son with a huge smile on her face. The second image- a mom holding a framed picture of her deceased son. The pain in her face makes my stomach hurt. If looks could kill every official who dismissed her concerns would be struck down
Hearing stories like these always make me realise that I was so lucky to be able to get help when I got groomed by an adult man when I was a teen...
May Breck rest in peace
Clicked on this by accident but your storytelling skills kept me listening to the end. Subscribed.
I've seen this case before, apparently they did a big review of how 911 calls should be conducted because of the way the kid took control of the call
As much as I absolutely hated how arrogant and just ugh he was during the call, I honestly don't think he would have responded better to the operator doing it any other way. I feel like if she tried to take control of it, he would have stopped answering...he wanted a captive audience to make sure he got his whole (fake) story out.
I know about this story and remember when it happened. This one really hurts, the mother is still in anguish. Poor breck, great young man. Ruined by a monster
Oh I remember this horrifying case. I can't begin to fathom what his parents and siblings went through and are still going through. Rest in paradise Breck. 🙏 ❤️🌹
I've been a follower since the early days and I must take a minute to tell you that your work is awesome and thoroughly entertaining. Thanks for all your hard work! 🙏
🕊 🕊 Rest in peace Breck 🕊 🕊
Another original viewer of an old days hey yes I look forward to all his uploads straightforward must be hard for him sometimes
I actually heard of this one. But as usual, I prefer yours, you give out the best work❤️
I agree
I just got excited bc I thought we got 2 videos in one day lol
My deepest condolences to Breck mom and his family 💜💜💜
Thank you for this. It is very important for parent to stay vigilant
Jiles, you are a rock star. Thank you for your content, it is appreciated!
Funnily enough I was mates with this guy in college. We were in the same politics class. He told me he was Israeli and one of his nicknames in my group was 'Tel Aviv' (we all had crass names for one another). In our class he would always have his laptop out and would be gaming (playing World of Warcraft) and he showed me some of the coding projects he was working on. He was the only one who sat at the back of the class with his back and computer screen to the wall. One day he just vanished from college but nobody really questioned it (we never spoke to him outside of classes, lunch breaks or our field trips). Then a few months down the line, our politics teacher began the class by saying 'Do you remember Lewis who was always on his laptop?' and then pulled up a BBC news article about him being sentenced for murder. We were all quite shocked. Even though he was quiet and always on his laptop, he didn't seem like that sort of person. The only real notable thing he did was one day quickly pack up his things and run out of class saying no more than 'I need to go' and that was one of the last time we saw him. It's strange to think that if one of us had been a bit more of a friend to him and spoken to him outside of class then this may not have happened, or it could have been one of us killed instead. How very bizarre.
Nobody does it better! Absolutely love your dedication to accuracy! Thank you for another episode!
Well done again. As a parent my support goes to Breck's family. Sorry for their loss. Thank you for sharing.
What a beautiful boy, I couldn’t help but think about my 10 month old boy while watching this. I don’t know what I would do if this was him… I cannot imagine. Makes me worried for when my boy gets to the age where he will wanna go online, play games and chat with friends. How do you give your kids the independence of doing what they want .. and also make sure that nothing like this is going on without invading their privacy?
By always being honest with them, and giving them the space to be honest with you, so that they don't hide anything.
Authorities were immediately suspicious, except when the mother called them 🤦🏿♂️
Thanks for the correction...Such a sad sad case...Quite close to where I worked...So heartbreaking 💔
Jules ...you really come up with some wild stories and it's amazing you can find them all. Thank you. You are awesome. 😎🌹❤️
You gave a good and version of this story. You are the best
Sad but knowledgeable video. Poor kid. He didn't deserve that. RIP ♥️🌹🕊 Thanks for another great video!
Sick bastard! All senseless! I hope that family sued the police dept who felt that this wasn't worth looking into.
Breck had such a bright future ahead of him and it was taken from him for nothing!
I really appreciate that you included hotlines and resources for people to go to if they find themselves in a similar situation. Thank you for making this video, may Breck rest peacefully.
Breck seemed like a very good kid.
seemed like a little shit
I love your voice. I be working 10 hrs days. And I always listen to you. To make me go asleep. Smoothing...
This is why you kids should ALWAYS listen to your parents, i know we might moan a lot but trust me we do it because we love you! Stay safe out there ✌🏼💙✊
UK police doing absolutely nothing until its far too late, what a surprise
I bet it breck had been s girl they might have taken it a bit more seriously.
@@sheenamaclean8324 Not at all, there was another case of a guy harrassing nonstop his ex-gf, she went to the police a few times and they did absolutely nothing, he ended up killing her, UK police force is a JOKE
@@kopi828 I'm not sure you can make such a sweeping statement.
Yeah to busy monitoring "hate" speach".😳😡 In stead of doing REAL POLICE WORK!.
How does such a young man become so evil?
The heart is deceitful and desperately evil who can know it. ✝️ BIBLE KJV. everyone is born evil.
@@repentbeforeitstoolate..8239STOP twisting.
Your videos get me through really hard work days. I look forward to them
I don't understand how the police didn't know of the watchlist. But then again, one hour of casework doesn't sound like they did a deep job.
They just don’t care. All they care about is about is dealing with pointless problems and racking up money.
I remember this when it first happened here. Absolutely shocked me to the core.
In 1972, at the age of 52, my father was murdered by the Lennox Sheriffs of S. Calif. He was driving home from work one night. It was along a dark, rural road that his small car was sideswiped by a much larger vehicle, forcing my father's car off the road and into a power pole. My father sustained injuries to his liver, spleen and kidneys. Even so, he was able to pull himself from the wreck and stagger toward the road. Neighbors in the area reported the wreck. When the sheriffs got there, they "assumed" my father was drunk and began shoving him around. Without any kind of tests, they shoved him into their car and threw him to the drunk tank. When he tried to protest, they beat him severely with their sticks and left him bleeding and unattended on the floor of the cell. Only when he began to "bloat" (from the internal injuries) and turn yellow (ruptured spleen) did they call an ambulance. Despite all the identification in his wallet (plus over $300 that "disappeared") they NEVER call my mother. The doctors at the hospital were able to stabilize him long enough so he could call my mother. He died several hours later in surgery. My father was a respected member of our community, a pharmacist, a husband, a father of two, a WWII veteran (a Navy medic attached to a Marine unit). He supported various charities. And he was my dad.
What happened to the sheriffs? Not a damn thing. My mother hired an investigator who did some digging. He told her "these guys are dirty". He then advised her to move me (16) and my sister (9) out of state because it was "going to get ugly". At 2 a.m. one morning, my mother got a phone call telling her she was "gonna get acid in her face" if she continued with the investigation. The caller also told her he knew where her kids went to school and if she wanted to see them alive she better drop the case. Terrified, she dropped the case. There was no investigation, the sheriff's department literally got away with murdering an innocent man-my father. These Gestapo thugs don't care who you are. And if you think there is "justice for all" in this country, I say BULLSHIT!!
That is beyond wicked! I am so sorry for you and your family. That’s really upset me. Your poor Dad! 😢❤️
Bro go see a therapist this is not the place to vent lmao
@@lauraarcher1730 Thank you for the kind thoughts!! That was a very difficult time for us. My mother sold our house in S. Cal and we moved to Washington to be closer to her brother. He had a small farm and we did OK. But yeah, it took MANY years to get past the anger of what had been done to my father.
@@Toxus8 First of all, I am not "venting". I'm sharing a true story, just like the ones you seem to enjoy on this site. Second, are you seriously "laughing" your ass off at the tragedy my family suffered?? If anyone needs a therapist, it is YOU, bro!! You are obviously a very cruel and thoughtless troll.
It’s too bad the law enforcement accountability movement was co-opted by a movement purely dedicated to destabilizing this country and getting its ‘founders’ wealthy so they could buy real estate. More white people are abused and murdered by police but clearly it doesn’t matter. I’m a victim of cops too, as are many people I know. I’m so sorry this happened to your father and your family. It’s infuriating!!!!
Excellent message at the end of each video. Thanks for all the great uploads
I recently found this channel on my way to work I plugged my phone up and listen to crime stories and podcast because of how far I live from my job.. and I have to say I don't know the narrator of these videos but I love them.. thank you so much from a new subscriber from Alabama..
The arrogance of this guy when he tells the dispatcher;
" Can you NOT. interrupt me during this part" , as if HE is in charge.
That poor mother did everything she possibly could to keep her son away from this freak - maybe if the police had listened we wouldn't be watching this today 😢
My heart goes out to Brecks Family Its horrible that a 19 yr old would do this to someone. The police should have known better
Awesome commentary as always. I must say this is monsters is one of my top three favorites on RUclips. The other two are dreading and that chapter. I just wish you could do more videos more often.
I really try to explain to my 9 year old the dangers of online predators and just predators everywhere. This episode is a very vivid example.
I remember seeing this as a documentary many years ago. My son was too young for online gaming at the time. This case made me put serious rules in place and has never left my mind. I always refer to this if I'm explaining my online worries and people say, "ohh, it won't happen to your son." I bet that poor mother thought the exact same way. Heartbreaking 😔💔
That call is like "call an ambulance, but not for me"
There's nothing more despicable than kiddy fidlers. Those are real monsters.
Lewis must have thought the 999 call was the trial.
My bf and I both think social media/messaging apps should strictly be +18 because of the insane amount of child predators and groomers online. These companies could actively be protecting children yet they don’t and things like this happen. RIP Breck.
they could but it opens up a can of worms. Like, how to prove age? Just checking I am 18+ doesn't work. They can request for an ID, but that means private companies now have a copy of your ID which can be exploited. They can sell it secretly to other companies or maybe get stolen by hackers. They could promise to delete and never keep your data after verification but that raises a question if they're lying. To protect children they could also monitor chats but that would mean everyone's giving up their privacy. And how will they monitor it? An AI can be circumvented and worked around, hiring people to monitor it is very exploitable and will subject poor humans to seeing boatloads of false positives (naked adults) and positive (children) which is a very uncomfortable job. Even if AI manages it that means it will have to save cp on their server as evidence. I agree with protecting kids but what's an effective way to do it?
I agree but unfortunately there’s no way to enforce that, all they’d have to do is lie about the birthdate when creating online profiles
Thank you for this episode! It was very informative for me as a parent with teen children exploring the internet and playing online games. Such a tragic story to learn from. I love ❤️ your channel
Thank you for all your hard work putting these videos together and spreading awareness! These monsters are horrible, my heart goes out to the victims family and friends 🙏🏽
Thanks for the great work again. You’re super awesome. Please keep it up. I really look forward to listening to you.
The photos of the guy with the glasses is not Lewis Daynes it's James Fairweather however a lot of sites and articles get them mixed up
So glad I found your site. The stories are fantastic and your narration is superb. The other site is great too. Keep them coming? Also, I so love your personal comments.
That poor sweet boy. Rest in peace Breck
I watched the video when u first uploaded it. I thought it was weird with the comments being turned off. Great job as always!
Awesome job as always! Would be very interested to hear your commentary and research about Gary Ridgeway!
Love your content as usual but one small touch that I miss about your channel is small snippet of Elaine Campioni in the intro. It’s a chilling flare to the content that really took your channel to the next level 🥲
Would love to hear this again in the future. I wish you nothing but blessings & success in your journey ❤️❤️
Thanks for re uploading. I was watching previous video and half way in it I had to stop just to comeback with the video gone!
Totally willing to rewatch the whole thing over again cause repost.
His story will never get old 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Thank goodness that guy is behind bars and didn't become serial.
I have a feeling that if she had a daughter who was being groomed the case would've been taken a little more seriously by her peers and the police. The mother literally did EVERYTHING she could and no one helped because "it was a phase."
Lewis thought he was the real Peter Pan.. The original Pan story is that Peter is a demon
This case infuriated me. I don’t have children but what a complete bizarre case! Damn like what a conniving evil little creature. Breck RIP ❤️
That is one seriously Evil young man! He should never be free!...
They should play this video for all kids that think they know everything.
I didn’t even notice lol but I was confused about the comments ; I just assumed it was because of his age . I was like “ he don’t deserve privacy “ lol
He definitely shouldn't have been trusted to go anywhere alone!!!
We going to ignore 3:22? 🤣 he really said that isn’t Lewis lmao
I love the way you say “February”. Not sure why but I do. Excellent work as always, good sir!!
The chuckle about being a problem for all parents was good. Its weird he thought he could lie in person like he did on the internet. He thought he got so good at telling stories.
"Not Lewis" ~ that was Great 😆👍🏻
(This case reminds me of that terrible case of that young teen who killed his online videogame buddy over like $2 bucks worth of in game currency points...) It's so messed up.
Again we hear the real story, from afar 😪 poor boy !.And his family💔
bro looks 8 years old..
What a monster comfort for mom she tried to protect her child.
Cops failed her son.
My friend and I had an altercation… dude you are no one’s friend.
There something is terrifying about Lewis’ creepy cupie doll face
Brillant work happy you are back
Thank you so much Jiles!🫶🏻
"Are you telling me you've killed somebody?"
Lord.
Rest in peace Breck
Do whatever you want JILES But never let us down and stop posting please. You have inspired me and am thinking of doing this next year since we have a lot of cases in my country.
Thanks for this. Why is RUclips turning off your comments?
Like, I can get jealous of people in stable families too but what a way to prove your own unworthyness other than to destroy a good, loving family?
At my lowest low I'd never think that that was even an option. I hope his family can heal somewhat from this unbearable heartbreak.
