The fact that this man turned down a plea deal of 24 months knowing he is facing 30+ years makes this justice even more satisfyingly .. The arrogance was too real
Ikr he could have been out in 18 months! He's so stupid for this one. I can't believe he thought this was a good idea. No jury, no decent HUMAN would be okay with what he did. His inability to take that SUPER SOFT and fluffy plea deal speaks to how delusional this dude really is.
Ridiculous the mother is crying now!! Not when she was watching and hearing the video's of the outrageous conduct towards a child they adopted and supposedly loved with a stone face. I hope they don't let her take a plea deal now. Sadistic human beings
Yep. These are terrible humans. She’s crying because she knows she’s next and they are both going to prison for some time and never getting their other children back. It’s all very sad.

I hated the look on her face during the trial. Like she wanted validation because the son was so awful. That "See? we had no choice" look. Totally twisted. She needs locking up just the same.

This beautiful young man would’ve been better off left in Vietnam 100% pure fact👿🤦♀️

It is shameful that the ‘mother’ only puts her head in her hands as the verdict is being read out. There was absolutely no remorse or shame during this whole trial about what they both did to their son. I have a feeling this is sheer panic and concern for herself not for her husband. The irony that he will now be in a ‘box’, the difference being his will have a window and a toilet.
Thank you so much dear juries. This father must pay for his crime as well as this mother. Children are not something you can own. They are not property of their parents. They have the right to be loved and protected by their parents. Parents who abuse their children must be guilty and incarcerated in prison for the rest of their lives.
I am so glad his arrogance kept him from accepting a plea agreement that would have only gotten him 2 years! Thank you jury and your honor for doing a tremendous job and making this animal ACCOUNTABLE! Hope the child receives the best of services to help him become a great member of society and keep him from EVER carrying any blame.
Totally miscalculated going forward with trial. Not smart putting his two children through this, nor kind.

Thank you jurors! For your service and justice for this young man. I cannot even fathom what thoughts this poor kid had on those thousand hours of being locked up. Beyond comprehensible.
They didn't make "bad parenting choices." A bad parenting choice is mistakenly grounding your kid for breaking something they didn't break, not imprisoning your kid in the most inhumane circumstances & treating them like a leper. When parents make a mistake, it's on us to correct it AND apologize if we've wronged our child. The Ferriters systematically abused their son, continuously made choices to extend and intensify their maltreatment of him, & just be terrible humans. I hope Tim & Tracy get to spend years inside a box of similar size and conditions so they can truly see what they put their child through.
Exactly! You get the child HELP!!! Mental health help!! And YOUAS THE PARENT HELP with said child 🤬🤬🤬This DUDE thought he could actually get away with this he’s sick and so is she!!!!🤬🤬Got exactly what he DESERVES AND SHE IS NEXT!!🤬
@@KingsterLovey as the child of abuse, myself. That was truly the hardest yet most understandable part of the trial. That poor kid knew no better than the crap pie of an existence they gave him. This is why their actions were so extremely despicable. As adults, I feel they knew exactly what traumas they were causing. Kind of feel they may not know just how lucky they were, to have been found out.
I don't understand why they even adopted him. Did they have some kind of savior complex? And when they didn't get the validation they wanted they turned him into a prisoner. I hope this young man can thrive in life after this ordeal.
Narcissistic families, our society is made of these types of people. They have rage inside due to also being raised by narcissistic people who do not offer empathy to a child and this creates monsters who learn to blend in and look the part.
It's tough to watch but the jury got it right. This was not a parenting mistake. This was abuse and neglect and these parents were both awful to this child. They did not show any love and they should've gotten him HELP or given him to a family that would.
Yeah exactly. I think we will be seeing many more of these cases as our perceptions shift of what is and is not child abuse... I mean we have only had child protection laws since the 1970's before that child abuse was not perceived as illegal or wrong, and in fact was kind of the norm .
Hearing the child screaming in that box with no light got to me . As former CPS isolation is abuse . Isolating him to the abuse is very traumatic to the other children as well. He really created an environment that will hurt these children for the rest of their lives .
Why was it tough to watch ? It was tough to hear the child screaming in the dark in that box in the garage . He knows he is the only one being targeted for the abused . Asking himself why am I not lovable ?
The absolute arrogance and self righteousness that this couple have is disgusting! They think they're better than that poor boy when it is the other way round, they don't deserve to parent any child !
The video stays with me of the mom berating RF because he didn't thank her for bringing him food after keeping him locked up all night in the box. What a horrible person. It's good to know she's next.
The beady little eyes on both of them are blank, cold, devoid of souls. He didn’t testify because he believes in his own mind he did nothing wrong. Absolutely astounding.
The ones supporting him and his wife sicken me. To know what this arrogant bully did to that child and yet turn up to support him?!? On what planet is that okay?
Yes and the suffering is lifelong and show up in every part of your life. International adoptees can oftentimes be abused and tortured similarly without ppl around realizing the atrocities they are forced to put up with. Its heartbreaking.
Love how he looks around surprised he had to go into custody waiting his sentencing date. You’re not slipping out of this one you’re going to prison im tired of these disgusting violent people acting like they can just get out of these situations like its no big deal
Indeed. He bonded out relatively quickly after his initial arrest, so he hasn't experienced "real" incarceration. His new reality is going to hit him tonight when he hears that solid steel door slam shut. Actions have consequences and his are just beginning.
That child also did very dangerous stuff that you wont want to happen to your family .To me this is not a clean cut case .I dont condone what he has done but this child was extremely aggressive .The court rejected this e.Listen to new evidence on Court tv .vidence
@@susanl5682no, just NO. Stop right there. Children with all abilities and disabilities they have a place with bio or adoptee families and no amount of trauma reactions give him and his wife the right to treat him so inhumane. My three children are challenging, with patience, love, and treating, they are improving. There is ZERO excuse and your comment is 100% disgusting.
He ain't talking crap now. Bet he won't talk to any fellow prisoner like he spoke to a 14 year. The bible says: Everything done in the Dark will come to Light. All he needed to do was love that kid as if he was his own blood.
4:05 Tracy couldn't even force out a tear. I have a feeling her defense will be that it was all Tim and she was just trying to avoid his wrath. The only reason she is emotional about his guilty verdict is because she's next. They are both so cold. Not once did I hear them, through all of their yelling & intimidation, say they loved their son. No softness, no kindness, nothing but contempt for their child. She & her husband deserve to rot.
@@yvettedurbangirlsa yes she only has concern for herself and I pray she’s not even offered a plea and she pleads guilty to any charges to spare the kids trial, however I get they may not want to put kids through trial and waste tp dollars and offer a plea deal but it should be commensurate with what he’s charged with as she’s a principal not accessory and he traveled she was home as a sahm
He looks scared and shows no remorse whatsoever for any of the pain he caused. He did not deserve him as a son. I hope the boy is where he is being shown and given so much love! God bless him. Now take him to prison to meet his new bunch of friends!
Parents: it's called false imprisonment (among other charges). You cannot do this with anyone in your family or you will go to Prison. Praying for the kids.
I was raised in the fifties... shared same sized room w my two sisters in a full sized bed... rarely allowed out. The bedroom door had no lock but when we were sent there, we were not allowed out unless called to do chores... the other choice was to be locked outside to 'play' in both winter and summer. Many days nothing to eat but ketchup sandwiches ... no school lunch or milk money. Beaten w the belt or belt buckle. There were 4 of us and no one spoke about what went on in our house. I was responsible for my siblings and housework by age 8 made to quit school at the beginning of my senior yr bc my mother left w my half sister [ she was an alcoholic / had an affair ] and I had to go to work and give my paycheck to my father to supplement her lost income... my sister followed a yr later. I am now a retired Rn. We all turned out fine. Our neighbors could hear our screams and no one did a thing. I'm glad 70+ yrs later things are different for children and hope this guy gets what he deserves.
He will be lucky to get the LUXURY OF A SINK, toilet 🚽 & LIGHT till 9pm, atleast he will have a dim light to see in his new hole. He is officially Dad in a box! They might want to keep him in 23hr lock - P.C. Because these types of charges - the inmates Do NOT LIKE.
Lol, how I'm laughing so hard at this comment. I swear I hear it in his cocky and arrogant voice but this time we get the last laugh 😅. Wifee you next boo........😉💯!!
This guy made one poor decision after another. Put a boy in a box. Recorded conversations and video of the boy in box. Didn't take the plea deal. We are all just victims of every decision we make in our lives.
He wasn’t very smart , he thought he could get away with it not realizing all ring footage is stored by Ring . We didn’t see half of it . I’m shocked it took them that long
Hilarious when the defense attorney asks the judge to allow her client to remain free. Ironic. Something the defendant didn’t think a young boy deserved. I don’t think the judge had any other choice given that this case was (in part) about false imprisonment.
They offered him two years and a few months but he turned it down. His arrogance, entitlement to do what he did to that child, and lack of remorse did him in.
I noticed that during the entire trial, both his and her facial expressions were just blank/bland/unfeeling. Not even during the sons testimony....until today. Suddenly they show fear and sadness.
A example needs to be set to avoid other people like these individuals doing the same. They have also ruined their biological children’s life with their cruel behaviour to this boy.
I was looking at Tim's history and noticed he and his family moved quite a bit. I'm wondering if keeping their behavior secret had something to do with it.
Yes~They had a home here not too far from us, in Phoenix Metro area...when the Real Estate Agent went to list that home for sale, there was also a "Box Room" there!!
I did his family tree to find out more about his past and I agree that it's unlikely he learned this behavior as a child. The family has got to be reeling.@@asitfestersmetal-band482
Sending prayers for this poor child that suffered from abusive 'parents'. They do not deserve to be called parents. I pray for him to get counseling. May he grow and flourish and lead a healthy life.
I wish the attorney had asked why the boy didn’t tell his teachers about the abuse? Had he been threatened not to tell? Had the parents ever sought help for him since they claim he made trouble at school, stealing etc? Did no one ever think that his causing trouble was his way of trying to get recognition and someone to be interested enough to talk to him about home life etc. The other children said nothing to their piers or teachers about their brother living in a box?
Now, HE can sit in a smaller cage !!! What they did was horrific 😢. I pray so much the children will be strong, safe and happy the way intended for all children. 💜💜💜
He'll never regret putting RF in the box because he's convinced himself he was in the right to do that, but you can be sure he's regretting not taking that 24 month plea deal.
Tim is a narcissist no doubt about it. Tracey was controlled by him but liked it. Their son was very gracious about them when he gave evidence considering the appalling conditions he was made to endure. I hope Tim gets a lengthy sentence as I don't trust that he wouldn't want to punish his son by blaming him for his current plight. As for her, she's no kind of mother so I hope she gets whatever is due to her. Hope all of their kids get through all of this and have a great future.
I'm glad that he was found guilty of all charges. That's let you know that no man or woman is above the. law. The state of foster children should be aware of who they foster children to. They may be human outside, but a devil within. MAY God continues to bless the children's mental health and care here on out for life.
International adoption unfortunately attracts ppl who, for different reasons, wants a very vulnerable child, to "own". Ppl who adopt internationally only have a little more money than those who fosters. That s the only difference. Ppl who adopt internationally often wants to be seen as "saviours" and the nonwhite child brings attention and makes them look humanitarian. Thats part of why. Its also the belief that they can "create" someone that will always obey and be inferior. Someone that fulfill their needs. They think its their right, and that cannot be questionned, they are entitled to do whatever to that child bc they paid for him. That is why Timmy does not understand what happened.
I watched this in real time ..He only shows emotion when he finds out he cant be out on bond while waiting for sentencing.I absolutely guarantee he planned on fleeing to Australia.
Thank god the jury got it right!! These people are cruel !! They are deserving of prison! And any of the family members who watch this go on should be ashamed of disgusting inhuman, cruel behavior, grandma, grandpa, sisters, brothers, friends! You saw this happening at some time or other.
I was tearing up when I heard this defendant verbally assaulting his son. I felt fear that I haven’t felt since being a child with a crazy mother. That poor boy having that barrage of abuse launched at him.
That guard knows the cameraman is there to film the convicted child abuser. One guard all of a sudden stands right in front of him on purpose. By what these 2 parent's were putting their son through is sometimes how/why kids turn into killers. This very way of punishment is horrible. The jury made a 100% the right verdict. His parents closed him off from his family, and even his siblings were use to their big brother being left out. His parents took every privilege away, including using the bathroom. They fed him just peanutbutter sandwiches for breakfast/ lunch, but at times, they would'nt give him food or water, and we all know how warm it can get in Florida. When ever either one of the parents communicated with him while he was in the box room was not helpful, neither one of them were interested in fixing the situation with him. Why did'nt they take him to a therapist, and then eventually to a family therapist? That to me would of been the sensible thing to do.There had to be something going on with he and his parents for him to have such a outburst in his regular bedroom when he really lost it and broke his things. There had to be something going on with the parents' relationship with their son regarding him breaking his things. All they wanted to do is control him treat him less than a human being and basically make him very miserably unhappy, probably until he turned 18 years old. Sitting in the dark is like solitary confinement. He might as well be put in prison. I am so grateful for the man who built the box room for reporting this, or it's pretty clear that the boy would still be sitting in that box room. I can't even imagine what his state of mind would be by the time he hit 18 years old. I think of these 2 parents as controlling and wanted revenge.This is'nt 2 loving parents to their son this is I hate you, and now I'm going to make you pay by making your life miserable, and that is exactly what they did. Mother dearests' turn is next. 😊
How could someone do this to a child? It is sometimes very tough with mental illness but he could have taken professional help for the little kid. The jury got it right.
He has had no emotion this whole trial, except when his son said everyone should just let them learn and move on. And with his wife. Neither he or his wife showed much emotion if any at all to all the yelling and put downs. Or the videos of their son in the box. Well now he gets to feel what it is like not to have a choice on leaving his room. I love how the defense says he doesn’t have a criminal record. Yes he does! He was just found guilty of a felony.
He is the definition of a psychopath, he has no reaction on his face... and he kept his adopted child in the house, while some dogs have better living conditions than that human being had had... justice has been served
I’m blown away thinking how this pair of people have so little insight into what they were doing. How did they think that the boys behavior would have convince a jury that it was enough for them to act this way? I don’t get it.
Nobody gets it because we are all normal human beings, trying our best to get along in life. The Ferriter parents are not normal. Their thought patterns are warped. We can never get our heads around the way a damaged mind works.
Narcissism makes one believe they are right, will be able to convince others of being right, and won’t make deals if they have to admit an ounce of guilt…. It’s the pride before the fall.
I'm so glad the jurors found Tim guilty. Hopefully Tracey is found guilty as well in her trial. Praying that RF recover from this horrifying experience. He's such a strong boy to testify bravely against his abusers! Sending him so much love & hugs! My heart aches for him and with him.
Not surprised how quick the jury reached a verdict. These parents became "obsessed" with this boy. They were on him for every single little thing, it was ridiculous. Too bad when the judge does the sentencing he could include solitary confinement for a week each month for the duration of his sentence.
You cant do this to children! No matter the ages, other ways to handle things. Dont hurt them, torture them nor murder them. Shame on you both! Im glad he was him (father) found guilty! She(mother) should be next

Exactly! You get the child HELP!!! Mental health help!! And YOUAS THE PARENT HELP with said child 🤬🤬🤬This DUDE thought he could actually get away with this he’s sick and so is she!!!!🤬🤬Got exactly what he DESERVES AND SHE IS NEXT!!🤬
@@KingsterLovey as the child of abuse, myself.
That was truly the hardest yet most understandable part of the trial.
That poor kid knew no better than the crap pie of an existence they gave him.
This is why their actions were so extremely despicable.
As adults, I feel they knew exactly what traumas they were causing.
Kind of feel they may not know just how lucky they were, to have been found out.
Even in prison they will have better living conditions than they provided for their child! It’s grossly disgusting!
I don't understand why they even adopted him. Did they have some kind of savior complex? And when they didn't get the validation they wanted they turned him into a prisoner. I hope this young man can thrive in life after this ordeal.
I presume a State financial incentive 🤔
Narcissistic families, our society is made of these types of people. They have rage inside due to also being raised by narcissistic people who do not offer empathy to a child and this creates monsters who learn to blend in and look the part.
@shaunnal2560100 % true.
Status symbol.
For money
It's tough to watch but the jury got it right. This was not a parenting mistake. This was abuse and neglect and these parents were both awful to this child. They did not show any love and they should've gotten him HELP or given him to a family that would.
It was not tough to watch he deserved exactly what he got
Yeah exactly. I think we will be seeing many more of these cases as our perceptions shift of what is and is not child abuse... I mean we have only had child protection laws since the 1970's before that child abuse was not perceived as illegal or wrong, and in fact was kind of the norm .
Hearing the child screaming in that box with no light got to me . As former CPS isolation is abuse . Isolating him to the abuse is very traumatic to the other children as well. He really created an environment that will hurt these children for the rest of their lives .
Why was it tough to watch ? It was tough to hear the child screaming in the dark in that box in the garage . He knows he is the only one being targeted for the abused . Asking himself why am I not lovable ?
The absolute arrogance and self righteousness that this couple have is disgusting! They think they're better than that poor boy when it is the other way round, they don't deserve to parent any child !
The video stays with me of the mom berating RF because he didn't thank her for bringing him food after keeping him locked up all night in the box. What a horrible person. It's good to know she's next.
Yes indeed. Desperately sad times this boy had to endure.
The beady little eyes on both of them are blank, cold, devoid of souls. He didn’t testify because he believes in his own mind he did nothing wrong. Absolutely astounding.
Yes, those beady black eyes on both of them; no soul in those eyes
On Both of them! She’s next !!!
@@melb2258yup and I can't wait ...what a POS
He must be a narcissist. He shows no emotion and has not through it all.
Once he is behind the cell door it will hit
Agree
I saw harsh reality slap him when the Judge ordered bond revoked and he be taken into custody.
I saw withholding of emotions. But the emotions are there
Narcissists experience emotions.
I love the lady nodding her head as the verdicts were being read. Goodbye child abuser.
I saw that too! So made me smile 😊
Yes she was agreeing for all of us!
Me too
Clearly not on the side of the defense.
Me too.
The ones supporting him and his wife sicken me. To know what this arrogant bully did to that child and yet turn up to support him?!? On what planet is that okay?
Her trial is coming up. She was likely crying for herself! I hope they both get put away for a very very long time!
They ALL look like the cast of Hillbilly Elegy. They are all vile!!!!
I agree, how can their supporters slap their son in the face like that! 🤬
Did the wife get charged?
@@lisasisserman7452Yes, next month is her trial
Justice is served! But sadly the young man is going to struggle the rest of his life 😢 Praying he gets the help he needs 🙏🏼💙
Yes and the suffering is lifelong and show up in every part of your life. International adoptees can oftentimes be abused and tortured similarly without ppl around realizing the atrocities they are forced to put up with. Its heartbreaking.
Yes because in his mind he deserved the treatment 😢 which is so sad!!!
Love how he looks around surprised he had to go into custody waiting his sentencing date. You’re not slipping out of this one you’re going to prison im tired of these disgusting violent people acting like they can just get out of these situations like its no big deal
Indeed.
He bonded out relatively quickly after his initial arrest, so he hasn't experienced "real" incarceration. His new reality is going to hit him tonight when he hears that solid steel door slam shut. Actions have consequences and his are just beginning.
The arrogance to think he could defend putting a child in a box with a bucket and locking him inside
That child also did very dangerous stuff that you wont want to happen to your family .To me this is not a clean cut case .I dont condone what he has done but this child was extremely aggressive .The court rejected this e.Listen to new evidence on Court tv .vidence
@@susanl5682even so he needed to enlist the help of trained professionals. Even a police matter if he was violently out of control.
The diminutive insight denotes his sociopathy tendencies
You should've read some of the comments defending them. There's some sick people out there
@@susanl5682no, just NO. Stop right there. Children with all abilities and disabilities they have a place with bio or adoptee families and no amount of trauma reactions give him and his wife the right to treat him so inhumane. My three children are challenging, with patience, love, and treating, they are improving. There is ZERO excuse and your comment is 100% disgusting.
It’s crazy to think this man is getting the same punishment he gave the young man. Lot of time for reflection.
It's a shame though that his living conditions in a cell and 3x meals a day will still be better than the conditions he put the boy through.
He has the stainless steel loo upgrade awaiting him
He won't get a bucket though.... Sheesh 🙄
Karma NEVER fails. People reap what they sow.
Right now Dad is in a box.
Now he will feel what his son felt being in a box and having guards control his every move karma you sick individual
I have never seen a prisoner have to take certain clothing items off in front of everyone. Loved it!!
I can’t stop crying! I am so glad the jury got it right! I’m crying for the child!
At some points, we as a society, have to set the standards for what is and what absolutely is NOT acceptable here. This is one of them.
And please don’t curse all the time like you are a heathen
Your boot camp from hell wasn't appreciated Timothy.
The jury made the right decision.
He ain't talking crap now. Bet he won't talk to any fellow prisoner like he spoke to a 14 year. The bible says: Everything done in the Dark will come to Light. All he needed to do was love that kid as if he was his own blood.
Yeah he’s no “tough guy” now.
4:05 Tracy couldn't even force out a tear. I have a feeling her defense will be that it was all Tim and she was just trying to avoid his wrath. The only reason she is emotional about his guilty verdict is because she's next. They are both so cold. Not once did I hear them, through all of their yelling & intimidation, say they loved their son. No softness, no kindness, nothing but contempt for their child. She & her husband deserve to rot.
Yes she knows she's next
💯 🎉
@@yvettedurbangirlsa yes she only has concern for herself and I pray she’s not even offered a plea and she pleads guilty to any charges to spare the kids trial, however I get they may not want to put kids through trial and waste tp dollars and offer a plea deal but it should be commensurate with what he’s charged with as she’s a principal not accessory and he traveled she was home as a sahm
When is her trial?
@@Carolinec222January
A very welcomed GUILTY verdict. Thank you jurors. 😊
Thank you jurors for serving in this horrific case!
He looks scared and shows no remorse whatsoever for any of the pain he caused. He did not deserve him as a son. I hope the boy is where he is being shown and given so much love! God bless him. Now take him to prison to meet his new bunch of friends!
Parents: it's called false imprisonment (among other charges). You cannot do this with anyone in your family or you will go to Prison. Praying for the kids.
I was raised in the fifties... shared same sized room w my two sisters in a full sized bed... rarely allowed out. The bedroom door had no lock but when we were sent there, we were not allowed out unless called to do chores... the other choice was to be locked outside to 'play' in both winter and summer. Many days nothing to eat but ketchup sandwiches ... no school lunch or milk money. Beaten w the belt or belt buckle. There were 4 of us and no one spoke about what went on in our house. I was responsible for my siblings and housework by age 8 made to quit school at the beginning of my senior yr bc my mother left w my half sister [ she was an alcoholic / had an affair ] and I had to go to work and give my paycheck to my father to supplement her lost income... my sister followed a yr later. I am now a retired Rn. We all turned out fine. Our neighbors could hear our screams and no one did a thing. I'm glad 70+ yrs later things are different for children and hope this guy gets what he deserves.
@@lindasheldon6940So very very sorry.

If it were a doddering grandma locked up it would be the same...
Looks like she’s on her way to jail too then…
Well, at least the Prison will give him a TOILET rather than a sh.t bucket to empty. The Jury got this 100% correct! A monster!!!
Prison cell is still too luxurious for him
He will be lucky to get the LUXURY OF A SINK, toilet 🚽 & LIGHT till 9pm, atleast he will have a dim light to see in his new hole. He is officially Dad in a box! They might want to keep him in 23hr lock - P.C. Because these types of charges - the inmates Do NOT LIKE.
But he’s not in jail nor is she
That's the best comment
He should have only a bucket!
Praise the Jurors for doing an exceptional job!! Thank you for your Jury Service
Now he’ll get to experience exactly what his son experienced.
now it's your turn to go in the box Tim and in your own word "take it like a man"
Bucket and all !

This guy made one poor decision after another.
Put a boy in a box.
Recorded conversations and video of the boy in box.
Didn't take the plea deal.
We are all just victims of every decision we make in our lives.
True . ..and we will face cons equences
He really showed his arrogance by not taking the plea deal.
@@melissawebb7417Exactly 💯
Fact
He wasn’t very smart , he thought he could get away with it not realizing all ring footage is stored by Ring . We didn’t see half of it . I’m shocked it took them that long
CPS should open up investigations on everyone who supported him. Anyone who doesn't think he is a monster definitely treats their kids the same way.
I agree! The state should be investigating all parents who are associated with and who supported what these 2 were doing!
100%!!!!
I couldn't agree more!!!
Well said.
AGREED, WELL SAID!!!!!
Hilarious when the defense attorney asks the judge to allow her client to remain free. Ironic. Something the defendant didn’t think a young boy deserved. I don’t think the judge had any other choice given that this case was (in part) about false imprisonment.
They offered him two years and a few months but he turned it down. His arrogance, entitlement to do what he did to that child, and lack of remorse did him in.
Thank you Judge...right to jail and no bond! Justice!
Now let’s give his Wife the same treatment. Hold her accountable too.
I noticed that during the entire trial, both his and her facial expressions were just blank/bland/unfeeling. Not even during the sons testimony....until today. Suddenly they show fear and sadness.
The fact that he didn’t take the two years let’s you know what this guy is made of. Straight to prison sir.
A example needs to be set to avoid other people like these individuals doing the same. They have also ruined their biological children’s life with their cruel behaviour to this boy.
Justice was served!! The Jury made the right decision. 👍
I was looking at Tim's history and noticed he and his family moved quite a bit. I'm wondering if keeping their behavior secret had something to do with it.
I grew up with him. Awesome loving family. Can’t believe that he did something like this. Not the character of the Tim I knew.
Yes~They had a home here not too far from us, in Phoenix Metro area...when the Real Estate Agent went to list that home for sale, there was also a "Box Room" there!!
I did his family tree to find out more about his past and I agree that it's unlikely he learned this behavior as a child. The family has got to be reeling.@@asitfestersmetal-band482
@@sterlingmatsui154😮
He looks so angry…and has no child to take it out on.
Thank you Mr.Bushy and jury 🙏 you did it right
Sending prayers for this poor child that suffered from abusive 'parents'. They do not deserve to be called parents. I pray for him to get counseling. May he grow and flourish and lead a healthy life.
Pure evil. I hope he receives jailhouse justice every day of his pathetic and miserable life.
He will. They are the lowest scum bags of them all, and the inmates will handle it fiercely from the back end.
Child abusers are the lowest of the low in prison. Timmy's gonna wish he was in his box instead.
@@neilsun2521 Well said!
I wonder who convinced him not to take a plea deal?
Boy was that a not smart move
…now it’s his wife’s turn. Disgusting people.
I hope they are getting the young man mental help for all the abuse he suffered.
Wow - the jury got it right - he should of taken the 2 years
I'm glad he didn't take it, though 🙏🙌 Tantamount to a slap on the wrist 😏
@@kanabee1agreed. Looks good on him thinking he wouldn’t be found guilty.
Yep. Hope he gets at least the amount of years his child had to endure with him.
I wish the attorney had asked why the boy didn’t tell his teachers about the abuse? Had he been threatened not to tell?
Had the parents ever sought help for him since they claim he made trouble at school, stealing etc?
Did no one ever think that his causing trouble was his way of trying to get recognition and someone to be interested enough to talk to him about home life etc.
The other children said nothing to their piers or teachers about their brother living in a box?
A shocked look when he’s remanded in custody. Very telling.
The coward, tough guy is scared *hitless! Hey, Tim, you gave yourself away for a few seconds finally! You aren't as "perfect" as you thought!
Now on to the wife.
I hope the wife gets punished, too!
Excellent - verdict was absolutely correct!!!
Viva TRUTH and MORALITY
Now, HE can sit in a smaller cage !!! What they did was horrific 😢. I pray so much the children will be strong, safe and happy the way intended for all children. 💜💜💜
He'll never regret putting RF in the box because he's convinced himself he was in the right to do that, but you can be sure he's regretting not taking that 24 month plea deal.
He’s thinking about appeal already.
Tim is a narcissist no doubt about it. Tracey was controlled by him but liked it. Their son was very gracious about them when he gave evidence considering the appalling conditions he was made to endure. I hope Tim gets a lengthy sentence as I don't trust that he wouldn't want to punish his son by blaming him for his current plight. As for her, she's no kind of mother so I hope she gets whatever is due to her. Hope all of their kids get through all of this and have a great future.
I’m so happy Justices is served!
Do we know how long he got?? Lesley England
not sentenced yet@@lesleymimmack7296
No it will be decided in November
And SHE is next!
That's what consequences look like. Jury got it right 👍
Thank you jury for your hard work. I know it wasn’t easy to sit thru this trial. Prayers to you and the young man may start his healing process. 🙏.
This was the correct verdict, child abuse in all forms won’t be tolerated, period.
Thank you jurors for doing an excellent job! Justice was served! Thank you Judge for being such an outstanding, stand up and just judge! ❤
Now he is gonna have the feeling of being in jail like. He had that kid
I'm glad that he was found guilty of all charges. That's let you know that no man or woman is above the. law. The state of foster children should be aware of who they foster children to. They may be human outside, but a devil within. MAY God continues to bless the children's mental health and care here on out for life.
They adopted him from Vietnam as an infant.
International adoption unfortunately attracts ppl who, for different reasons, wants a very vulnerable child, to "own". Ppl who adopt internationally only have a little more money than those who fosters. That s the only difference.
Ppl who adopt internationally often wants to be seen as "saviours" and the nonwhite child brings attention and makes them look humanitarian. Thats part of why. Its also the belief that they can "create" someone that will always obey and be inferior. Someone that fulfill their needs. They think its their right, and that cannot be questionned, they are entitled to do whatever to that child bc they paid for him. That is why Timmy does not understand what happened.
I watched this in real time ..He only shows emotion when he finds out he cant be out on bond while waiting for sentencing.I absolutely guarantee he planned on fleeing to Australia.
I didn’t see any emotion
Is Ausi friend going to take momma home now. Wink wink
@@thejurydoctor6097Tim's eyes bulged out of his head when the judge said that he could not go home today. Straight to jail
You can’t just flee to Australia. Australia have very strict rules about who can enter. You can’t come here if you have a criminal history.
How many years is he facing?
Thank god the jury got it right!! These people are cruel !! They are deserving of prison! And any of the family members who watch this go on should be ashamed of disgusting inhuman, cruel behavior, grandma, grandpa, sisters, brothers, friends! You saw this happening at some time or other.
I cannot believe the verdict! We actually had a jury with common sense, not smoke and mirrors. I like the judge.
gratitude to the jury... Oh & wifey you next.
Thank you Judge for no bond, now he will know how it feels to be locked inside a cell 24/7!!!!
Yes… Inside a tiny cell except hopefully he is forced to share it with a very angry mate!!
Made my day!! Guilty!!
Ladying in the back nodding her head yes with a face full of pure delight is ALL of US 👌
I was tearing up when I heard this defendant verbally assaulting his son. I felt fear that I haven’t felt since being a child with a crazy mother. That poor boy having that barrage of abuse launched at him.
And there it is! Guilty! Thankyou jurors
Praise Jesus!!! Guilty on ALL COUNTS. Now let’s see how he likes a box!!
Praise the Lord 🙏🏼 Let Justice be done
the wife knows she is going down too. her reaction says it all.

Thank you for finding him guilty he is a disgusting monster and this is what he deserves
That guard knows the cameraman is there to film the convicted child abuser. One guard all of a sudden stands right in front of him on purpose. By what these 2 parent's were putting their son through is sometimes how/why kids turn into killers. This very way of punishment is horrible. The jury made a 100% the right verdict. His parents closed him off from his family, and even his siblings were use to their big brother being left out. His parents took every privilege away, including using the bathroom. They fed him just peanutbutter sandwiches for breakfast/ lunch, but at times, they would'nt give him food or water, and we all know how warm it can get in Florida. When ever either one of the parents communicated with him while he was in the box room was not helpful, neither one of them were interested in fixing the situation with him. Why did'nt they take him to a therapist, and then eventually to a family therapist? That to me would of been the sensible thing to do.There had to be something going on with he and his parents for him to have such a outburst in his regular bedroom when he really lost it and broke his things. There had to be something going on with the parents' relationship with their son regarding him breaking his things. All they wanted to do is control him treat him less than a human being and basically make him very miserably unhappy, probably until he turned 18 years old. Sitting in the dark is like solitary confinement. He might as well be put in prison. I am so grateful for the man who built the box room for reporting this, or it's pretty clear that the boy would still be sitting in that box room. I can't even imagine what his state of mind would be by the time he hit 18 years old. I think of these 2 parents as controlling and wanted revenge.This is'nt 2 loving parents to their son this is I hate you, and now I'm going to make you pay by making your life miserable, and that is exactly what they did. Mother dearests' turn is next. 😊
How could someone do this to a child? It is sometimes very tough with mental illness but he could have taken professional help for the little kid. The jury got it right.
He has had no emotion this whole trial, except when his son said everyone should just let them learn and move on. And with his wife.
Neither he or his wife showed much emotion if any at all to all the yelling and put downs. Or the videos of their son in the box. Well now he gets to feel what it is like not to have a choice on leaving his room.
I love how the defense says he doesn’t have a criminal record. Yes he does! He was just found guilty of a felony.
You talk about the punishment fitting the crime! For once, it really does!
How could you not find him guilty?. He told on himself with the ring video. Unbelievable!!!
He is the definition of a psychopath, he has no reaction on his face... and he kept his adopted child in the house, while some dogs have better living conditions than that human being had had... justice has been served
Off topic, but this is the best quality film and sound I've ever seen in a courtroom. Nice job!

@@Cochita322 Too risky. Too many things about early childhood there’s no way to know.
I’m blown away thinking how this pair of people have so little insight into what they were doing. How did they think that the boys behavior would have convince a jury that it was enough for them to act this way? I don’t get it.
Nobody gets it because we are all normal human beings, trying our best to get along in life. The Ferriter parents are not normal. Their thought patterns are warped. We can never get our heads around the way a damaged mind works.
Narcissism makes one believe they are right, will be able to convince others of being right, and won’t make deals if they have to admit an ounce of guilt…. It’s the pride before the fall.
I'm so glad the jurors found Tim guilty. Hopefully Tracey is found guilty as well in her trial.
Praying that RF recover from this horrifying experience. He's such a strong boy to testify bravely against his abusers! Sending him so much love & hugs! My heart aches for him and with him.
Try not to use his name in comments because he's still a minor and still has the right of anonymity, but youre spot on; I hope she goes down hard.
@@Stopthisrightnow560 thank you ☺️
Why is he not in jail
Not surprised how quick the jury reached a verdict. These parents became "obsessed" with this boy. They were on him for every single little thing, it was ridiculous. Too bad when the judge does the sentencing he could include solitary confinement for a week each month for the duration of his sentence.
You cant do this to children! No matter the ages, other ways to handle things. Dont hurt them, torture them nor murder them. Shame on you both! Im glad he was him (father) found guilty! She(mother) should be next
