- Inside a Michigan home, Timothy Ferguson spent his spare time exploring his creativity with legos. The 15-year-old boy had special needs and found his creative outlet by building his masterpieces piece by piece in his bedroom. However, Timothy's fun would be cut short for what his family deemed to be "punishment." Ultimately, the punishment turned into torture and would lead to his tragic death in July 2022. What investigators uncovered would disturb detectives working on the case. Timothy's older brother, Paul Ferguson, became a prime suspect in what prosecutors called the worst case they've ever seen. Get the disturbing details on this episode of Law&Crime Interrogations when Paul Ferguson takes a seat in the interrogation room.

Being a victim of child abuse and then also a victim of domestic violence by my child's father trying to strangle me to death I struggle to this day to understand why someone that claims to love another person so much can cause such irreparable harm and death upon them.
It just makes no sense to me....
As someone who has experienced similar things including my mom trying to kill me. There is no love in that. Their brains do not work correctly. In my mom's case due to severe alcoholism but I have encountered truly evil also. I'm so sorry for what you went through! 💜
Maybe you need to really look at yourself in the mirror you seem to be causing all these problems
I'm so sorry you went through that. I can promise you that this is not love. There is no love if you can choose to hurt someone. I cam promise you that when you do experience love, you will know it and you will know for sure, you cannot hurt someone you love.
@@OnlyMyOpinionMatters who is causing what problems? Lol
You?
@@OnlyMyOpinionMatters the username says it all, you lack the concept of theory of mind. That’s crazy
Saw the pic of timothy looking skeletal before he passed. Absolutely heartbreaking and horrible to treat another human being that way. I hope they rot in prison.
Where did you see the picture???
@@tretre3892Do you really need to see a photo? Imagine a child with no fat on his bones. There. You seen it.
@@tretre3892 r3ddit
@@makeyourself9110Right?? Like what kind of creep WANTS to see that photo??
I had empathy for Paul at first but the more I learned about what they both put this kid through. Yeah he's just as bad as his mother .what this poor kid went through and the father who dumped the boy with her. Should of been charged as well the fact he calls his family and friends for money so he can buy commissary makes me sick 🤮
Me too!! He gets 3 meals a day that meet health guidelines, I bet Timmy would have been delighted with just 1!
Judge was 100% right, he's just as bad if not worse than Shanda. You can tell from the texts how eager he was to beat Timothy "within an inch of death" in his own words. All the time. Sick and disgusting.
I could never pull myself to treat my autistic brother like that . I can’t imagine what tht poor boy was thinking and feeling im so angry for him
I have a wood shop in town where I teach young men with special needs how to build furniture and wooden household goods... I've been doing it for years and love every minute I get to spend with these kids. I've seen this hundreds of times, over and over again. Breaks my heart😢
That’s an incredible thing you do for those boys. My little bro is autistic and it is rare for people to be kind let alone go out of their way to help. You are a rare breed and I can’t tell you what that means to them and their families!! It breaks my heart to see the way he is treated.
@@lauragosnell2481 Thank you so much, it is absolutely the best thing/job in the world, for me anyway. My wife also works in the field, actually for the same agency. Our daughters, 12-year-old twins are also now getting involved heavily and working with our agency folks as well. I wish you the best 🙏❤️
I dont know you but I already know I would love you. Thanks for creating opportunities for people who dont always have access
@@fanofthedog very sweet 🙏❤️.. Thank you so much for the kind words. I love doing what I do, it's very fulfilling.
Get em some hot sauce, tobasco or cholula lmao
This would have been the fate of Ruby Franke's two youngest if one hadn't escaped and got help
So true, the boy getting the courage to runaway saved his life n his sister's.
100%
I can hardly believe how courageous that young man is. I wouldn’t have had that courage. So much respect to him and hopes that he’ll find peace 🕊️ 🤍🩵
Making one sibling torture the other is just something u think would be in a horror movie. This is something else 🤦😢
She didn't make him do anything he wanted to.
Bread soaked with hot sauce… that poor baby.
Extreme hot sauce 😮
And it was Pauls' idea, Paul even brought the leg and hand cuffs
Anyone noticed the older brother is wearing the exact same t-shirt that he wearing in the video as well as the photo of him and the little boy Timothy...
The coward female is no mother.. she is not a mother for the things she has put Timothy through... smh. And he ain't no brother for what he done to his little brother Timothy also.
Agree. He was old enough to stand up to that horror of a woman. That monster. He could have protected him.
Why not just put your kid up for adoption if you dont want him?
@matttim5095this is not true. The mother had a good job and Paul worked also.
Why demonise people who claim benefits for disabled children?
My son is the very same as Timothy and get zero help. Definitely no money. I asked for help with diapers bc that cam kill your wallet paying for diapers for 10 years now and I was told my husband makes too much money for an assistant. And we are far from rich. We barely get by.
Ego
Money, control, power, narcissism.
They get money from kids
Psychopathy is all around us. If you suspect something like this is happening, don't turn a blind eye. Grow some balls and confront the issue.
💯💯💯💯💯!!!!
This case broke my heart... how can anyone do this to another person especially a child is behond me ... Rip Timothy 💔
My son is autistic nonverbal and I would protect him from harm with my life. I can't understand how people can abuse their own children and worse even a child that's so vulnerable. That poor boy suffered endlessly his entire life. They are now only suffering a small tiny portion of what he went through, Confinement and control. They should be grateful for the meals they receive everyday.
I was shocked at how they treated this lil boy! So very 😞
Rest in Peace precious one
I can feel this detective's passion and utter disdain for their actions.
What I don’t understand is why the farther hasn’t been charged with anything because he let poor Timothy go there to live knowing she was not supposed to have her children more than 3 hours a month , also I have watched videos of Paul & he shows 0 remorse so I hope he never gets out
This is the result of a fatherless home.
Its sounds as though she used this kid as a scapegoat to get rid of the other kid...
More then likely brainwashed him into doing it and taking the blame saying he will get less time then she will or she'll fight to keep him out of jail meanwhile that wasn't her plan.
Hot girl summer and she would bail on her son
@@UpsidedownC Nope he wasn't brainwashed. I read the over 2,000 page text messages and the 80 page incident report. He wasn't brainwashed.. Most of the time when Shanda texted Paul to feed Timothy he didn't do it.. He did come up with some of the punishments, like holding 2 cans in each hand and making him hold them out... He even admitted to hitting Timothy the day before he died. In the texts multiple times he said he wanted to hit Timothy and Shanda said "Don't you dare!" Paul never cared about Timothy either they are both as evil as each other.
@@UpsidedownCHe lived with his dad most of his life, he was an adult when he moved back with shanda. She didn't brain wash him. He was already like that.
His creepy hands gross me out
The way he sits also grosses me out
This is shocking. I am a mother and i love my child more than anyone, anything. I cannot imagine how any parent can feel anything other than unconditional love for their child. How a parent can purposely choose to hurt their own child! It is not natural, i literally couldnt hurt my child if i tried.
This is why you should give up your kid to foster care if you start noticing yourself abusing and escalating neglect. Otherwise you’ll end up in the clink with so much guilt
Have watched videos of law and crimes, that lasted for hours and i could not take in the information of the stories. But by watching your videos of the same title, that just lasted for 20 minutes or half an hour,i should like to say, the information you narrates is well understood better. Thanks and keep on bringing us more of this stories.
This is sickening
This family has had mental and developmental issues for generations, resulting in abuse and neglect being normalized into the family dynamic. Autism and narcasism together, which came first? Fascinating case study, EXCELLENT video! Thank you!
I am glad the judge saw through Paul because at some point I felt bad for him. Timothy has no chance even if Shanda didn’t do anything to him as long as he had this thing for a brother.
No one suffers autism... The suffering is experienced externally as a result of the people around you or the environment you are in not being adequate. Also referring to 'them' in regards to people with autism, is strong othering language that seperates 'them' from 'us'. His autism isn't a reason to victimise him. His victimisation comes from his mother and brother... Its important that his story is clear and that people with autism are depicted appropriately. Autism isn't the story or the problem. Severe abuse is.
Thank you for this. This kind of abuse happens all the time for folks who aren't on the autism spectrum. Just look at Ruby Franke's kids! Their "punishments" were in the same vein as these. Especially the lack of food, using spiciness to inflict pain, and the continuous escalating to insane levels of sadism as the abusers weren't getting the results they desired.
@@kaydotz absolutely! I just find it difficult when people talk about autism like it's a disease to be suffered. Maybe his complexities made it harder for him to endure the abuse, but by magnifying autism it just minimises the fact this is another child that was murdered. We want equality in this world... Not us and them-isms! This child was one of 'us', the mother and brother are one of 'them' xx
Havibg to deal with mental physical abuse and toxic enviroments, is what causes a lot of children, peoples, autisums, mental conditions.
@@Scottyallen-of7qr hmmm I'm not sure I fully agree. These days many many many characteristics can be called autism, it's hard to define anymore. Autism used to meet criteria of social interaction, communication and imagination impairments... These days they label social and emotional issues as autism as well - the spectrum has increased significantly. However I do agree that some emotional and behavioural issues are caused by the environment though and can lead to MH issues, but not specifically autism.
You can’t ask for exceptions for autism then declare certain language off limits or claim people are being “othered”.
He can’t even pretend to have loved that precious boy. He was 100% aware of the terrible state he was in and could have done a trillion other things than text the abuser about it.
He’s such a liar.
Poor child! Mother and son seem mental. Absolutely senseless!!
You know, ive struggled with substances in my past, and one of the things that bothers me the most is failing to show up for my brothers high school graduation, because i was too busy being a fucking loser blowing coke with other fucking losers 45 minutes away, and i spent the whole time saying "one more line and ill pull myself together and head out..." and i kept repeating that all afternoon till it was too late. And i agonize over that memory and the shame and embarassment often, im sure i permanently affected how they look at me, and that hurt, i care deeply about then and i care what they think of me.. Im not a great big brother, both my bros deserve better than me. But this guy, this guy makes me feel a little bit better about my big brother career stats.
This is such a sad case.. RIP sweet angel❤
I cant even fathom being able to do that to my brother. I didnt have the best childhood and i remember me and my brother at one of our worse times he looked at me and promised hed always be there for me and never let me be hurt 😭 i still remember this and its been almost 30 years since
Paul the psychopath
Heart breaking!
I don’t believe Paul or the mother loved Timothy at all. Not after I heard her testimony and then Paul’s jailhouse phone calls. He didn’t seem very sad about Timothy’s death.
This guy is a terrible actor. What he says, and what he did, are 2 entirely different things. I'm glad the mother is in prison. I'm glad the brother is in prison to, he is just as bad as the mother from hell.
Brother From Hell😢😢😢
Y'all remember Lerch from the Adam's family?!
Lerch at least respected other members from Addams family
Lurch
@@lek0maniaexactly !
Why is Paul also too thin?!
High metabolism. He had a job at a fast food joint to had access to food.
It doesnt matter ho bad a kid is dont starve them in a dark closet thats not acceptable at all. Sitting on the stairs for time out is one thing.. spanking is one thing.. missing dinner for not listening is one thing but this is a horror movie the mom looks evil in her mugshot defitley has some mental issues for sure shouldnt have had custody to her kids she wasnt fit to be a mom
Such a beautiful boy so sad
Saw both trials & her defense tried to blame Paul! Mother is a monster as much as Paul. Made this child walk up & down stairs outside in heat over & over. The mother had cameras everywhere. There was so much, Timothy would try to steal food out of fridge, get caught & severely punished. Rest with angels Timothy 🙏❤️😭. Those two won’t get out, family will be at every parole hearing I’m sure.
I dont understand how ppl can do this, we know so much about autism these days, theres no excuse to treat a kid like this. Get him help and the needed therapies, dont abuse the kid. This was bullying and neglect
Shanda clearly had the son do the abusing so she could say it was not her doing it
I know this is a very traumatic and shocking case. But I can’t get over the disgusting dirty mess she, Shonda, had the house in😱😱😱
So why tf hasnt the father been charged??? HE was supposed to have those kids...NOT HER!!!
This guy who killed him looks like he’s not all there
he looks like he's on the spectrum too
Paul Ferguson was evaluated before sentencing and the trained psychiatrist who actually interviewed him in real life determined that he was *not* on the spectrum. Sometimes, a socially maladjusted oddball with low empathy is just a socially maladjusted oddball with low empathy. Not every cruel jerk suffers from a developmental disorder.
So just one psychiatrist says that and that's gospel?
It was 3 specialists i believe .
He’s not autistic
He willingly and gleefully took part in torturing that little boy and admits in police interviews
On the gay spectrum
@@Matthius311 he has a 'fiance'. There's calls between them available to listen to in RUclips videos.
Wow
The mother is in the same prison as my mom. My mom is in level 2, and this monster is in level 4. So she's not near her. Just thought that was crazy.
His dad should be in prison.
Tim, Gabriël Anthony,Tokado, Bella and Celeste Watss etc etc... What's wrong with you People in usa😡😡😡 Why Killing your own children?? Just crazy😢😢😮😮
Only 0:57 in, I can't even watch this bro..😔
Ce détective est bon dans l'approche de Paul. Paul n'exprime pas de sentiments, je n'est jamais vue Paul pleuré.
Can you get rid of the alarm sound?
I want Jesus to come back so badly. I can't take all this evil.
I can’t put what my beliefs are because of guidelines. But if I had my way…..
➰️🌳💀
@@MrIsaacTheHermitRA about right, yes
This isn’t going to be popular but this kids a victim of the awful human being of a mother.
I agree. He only knew what he learned from his mother. Then he started enjoying the abuse of Timothy as much as his mother because those who are abused can easily become an abuser. Sadly that is how the cycle of abuse continues.
But he moved in with her when he was an adult, she did not raise any of her children.
@@SeashelleBytheseashorehe didn't grow up with his mother, he was only living with her for like a year before Timothy if that. Their sister said before Paul was even 18, before any of the kids lived with shanda, that paul got 'genuine joy' out of hurting Timothy. He played you people. In his jail phone calls he even talks about how he behaved on the stand--awkward fidgeting, looking at shanda like he's scared-- that was an act.
@@Jenny-sl9gs I didn't get to watch his trial. I thought he lived with her moreso than the others. Then he was just hard wired like his mom.... A psychopath as well. This is so disturbing.
@@Jenny-sl9gs so now I'm going to do a hard dive back into his trial and watch interviews now that I have the correct info. Oh he totally played me.
It was the dad that didn’t want Timothy anymore and illegally gave him to his mom
Both were born to the wrong parents. I hold the father more liable than the brother. He didn't protect both of them from their insane mother.
He should be held fully accountable, and I'm glad that he was, but what irks me is had he been a girl, people would definitely be more sympathetic to the fact that he was clearly manipulated and abused by mom as well. They would be making excuses about how she was raised this way and didn't know any better. How its not her fault because she had to survive. 🙄 for me, wrong is wrong and he knew better. No matter what sex the perpetrator is. He knew it was wrong and did nothing to stop it. Poor boy had no chance with these two.
He’s transgender?
@@Ashley-dg8xu No. The comment above is speculating Abt what the public opinion would be if this was a girl who helped her mom kill her brother
I feel bad for him as a boy. He was concerned but trusted his mom and had been abused himself for sure. I would not have given him that harsh of a punishment.
@@nando9195the mother is female and there is no sympathy
So your whole little theory makes zero sense
Not true because we saw all the text messages and the evidence he is no victim and he actually did enjoy the torture. The prosecutor said theres a video of Paul dragging Timothy into the closet by his hair a few days before he died. He is no victim and he is neurotypical despite trying his hardest to come off as mentally disabled. Also, Shanda did not raise him or any of her children, he was an adult by the time he moved in with her.
Got a long way to go to get on EWU level
EWU used to be an awful father and daughter duo who turned out to be horrible people. The success of the channel is credited to the huge audience they built, then the fantastic videos that followed after they sold it. It's not as cut and dry as you are making it seem. Also, make your own videos. Why are you hating on strangers?
@@Ena48145whoa, I had no idea they were bad people
Ewu interrupts interrogation footage with subjective and sometimes useless commentary
Still better than the people that don’t show anything sit and tell the story while they r doin something stupid like their makeup or something like show us some shit not your makeup tutorial
Well,Rome wasn't built overnight ! At least this channel is constantly growing !
I feel like Paul was a victim as well.
No he wasn’t. Look into his past. He abused his brother when they were living with the father. He’s not a victim. He chose to be abusive.
🐻
He is very loved around him with care
