Consider donating to “safe schools for Alex” in honour of this young man. His dad is out there doing the most to protect others from having to go through the same thing.
Alex's Dad lost his wife and now his son he remarried and that is his wife with him. This is heartbreaking RIP ALex. I wish nothing but love and laughter in mr Schacters life with his family Heartbreaking to watch him day in and day out in court .
@@bobby6569 she brought 2 sons and she brought 2 daughters into the marriage, they looked like such a happy family of 6 together and now there will be forever an empty spot :(
Seeing the grief on that fathers face is literally tearing my soul apart. No parent should go through that type of pain. My prayers are with all of them
That poor man. I've seen him through a lot of these clips about this case. I figured he had lost a child since he gets emotional about certain things and now I know which child it was that he lost. Watching him break down just makes my heart hurt with what he has had to deal with. Especially hearing the autopsy reports of what his poor child's body went through before he died. My hearts breaks for him and his wife for losing their child.
It is true. Alex’s father talked a little about it when he was reading about his son in court. The only thing is he said his second wife, he met before Alex passed. She loved Alex like her own kid. That’s why she didn’t read what she wrote about Alex in court. The father of Alex read it for her. I suppose the grief over losing the boy is too much for her. 😢
@@maramshaabneh2977 From the father himself. He literally says it in his impact statement. Maybe refrain from calling people liars until you've looked it up for yourself.
Absolutely heart breaking. The sadness and loss in the family's eyes as they cry while they witness the M.E autopsy photos is indescribable. My heart aches for them and for Alex
Imagine all the hopes and dreams he had for his son...looking forward to life...now he sits in a court room where his son is referred to by a bunch of letters and numbers in graphic photos.
So terribly heart wrenching. I cannot begin to fathom the awful heartache and sorrow these parents have to endure every single day, then to have to listen to the details of their painful deaths. So, SO awful….. I am so truly sorry for the tremendous suffering these parents must be experiencing.❤️🙏🏻
I could not, could ab-so-lute-ly not sit quietly in that court room if I was a parent and had lost my child. The strength that these parents have to be able to sit through this, and sit through this quietly is remarkable. The pain on their faces, the heartache, . . . . . . . I'm absolutely speechless. My heart cries out for them.
I believe Meadow Pollack's and Joaquin Oliver's dads have stated they are not present for this very reason. Everyone is showing so much restraint for justice from those dads choosing to not be there and to all the loved ones who have shown up and spoken bc I'm sure everyone wants to rip the killer to shreds.
Could not hear this without tears. It was heartbreaking to see his father having to hear how his young son was brutally killed. Prayers to all the 17 families who lost their children and may they get justice so that they may find small peace. 🙏
Not so fast I say set him on fire like that poor pilot isis burned then let his soul burn in the lake of fire for eternity! God bless that beautiful innocent 14 year old boy & his family!
This boy's dad has broken my heart every single time I see him sitting in the court. The pain in his face. I cannot imagine. I really wish nothing but good things for him and his family. He's had enough. I would venture to say that there are comments made during these autopsy results that the families have never heard before and as a result it breaks their hearts all over again. Like when they asked if wound A would have left his son paralyzed. I bet the dad had never been told that before in detail like that and so it hit him extra hard to hear how his kid really stood no chance. If it didn't immediately kill him, he couldn't do anything but lay there scared. That realization breaks my heart and I cannot imagine how he didn't lose it more than he did. It's a whole new level of heartbreak when you start hearing gory details that you previously were not aware of in an already heartbreaking situation. This killer needs the death penalty and it needs to be carried out quicker than over the next 20 years!
I can’t stop crying as I watch this man suffer for his boy and as I sit here watching my 2 year old boy playing here in front of me. I can only imagine that father picturing his boy as a toddler and as the man he wouldve become and all that being taken and shattered forever. I’m so sorry for all of the families suffering due to that monster that must be ended sooner than later.
I was against the death penalty at one time in the past but this has changed my mind. I really want that Cruz to get the death penalty and quickly. He is trying to look small and frail but he is evil in every way.
the camera zooms in, its not that close to him, its at the front and sides of the courtroom the size of a smoke detector, still very sad to see though I agree :(
@@bbloodyangel1 yeah they need to back off of zooming in on the poor parents the world don't need to see them grieving like that. Maybe show them for a second then show the person talking. But hey we are in america
I know that this is the hardest part. My son was murdered 4 years ago and I went to the trial and hearing the doctors testify was the hardest part. What these parents went through was a lot worse because the kids were so young and died so brutally.
His parents should be so proud of themselves for all their efforts in making the world safer after losing Alex. There are no words to say to them. Only love. 💜
OMG I cried with the father and am still shaken and crying writing this comment! I'm so sorry for this family having to be listening to the Doctor detail how the bullets ripped their sons young body apart. May Alex be Resting in Peace and Love forever. I pray the family will be able to find some kind of Peace as they carry on with their lives! ❣💔🕯🙏
Damn, spitting image of his dad. That is heart wrenching. I cannot imagine how it feels for a parent to lose a kid in any way, but for him to be murdered like this in school, for him to just leave the house like any other day and never come home...I cannot imagine.
I'm a mother / grandmother I cannot even imagine the pain these parents are going through and having to re live the pain all over again listening to a coroner describing how your child was innocently taken from them . It's heartbreaking watching these parents having to listen and be in the same room as the killer who took innocent lives . My heart goes out to all the parents/ familys involved ❤️🙏🙏
I am also a parent with 2 grown kids. I only have 1 Grandaughter and, she is my world. It is unimaginable how scary it is these days sending your children/Grandchildren to school not knowing if they will return home safely! This has been happening to often and, something must be done. These young kids had there whole lives ahead of them. They were looking forward to going to College. And, all because one phycotic punk who's life was so miserable decided he wanted to Kill people". So many lives have been ruined. I pray for all the Families who lost a child.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
My high school marching band won State, during one of the years that I marched with the band as part of the drill team. It was the best moment during my time in high school. I'm 30 now, and it's one of the few things about high school that I love to look back on. It's the only reason I would return for Homecoming or attend a Reunion. Young Alex at 14 had that accomplishment, among other proud moments, as well as the friend he was, the joy he brought, the help and love he gave, the jokes he played, and all the fond memories his family has of him.
What’s most sad is his dads own words were “ MY LITTLE BOY ALEX WAS THE WARNING SHOT “ HE WAS THE FIRST HIT IN HIS CLASS ON THE SECOND FLOOR . SUCH A BEAUTIFUL BOY 💙 EVERYONE OF THEM #17 💙
Come on now, why do you have to keep putting the cameras on the parents? We get it, they're destroyed. Leave them alone, stop making entertainment out their grief.
Not there for entertainment. For testimony and truth. He chose to show up for his son's reality and justice. It would be cowardly for we the complicit to want to look away from the consequences of the types of freedoms we choose for ourselves and our children. This is what the United States continues to choose for itself. Don't look away.
@@MickeyMacks1 Well, that's a bunch of righteous nonsense. The trial will determine the outcome, regardless of the cameras. And are you so emotionally dumb that you can't imagine these people's grief, that you actually have to witness it? And saying that these people deserve to have the cameras in their face because they made the choice to go - I can't even. I don't understand any of you. Have you never lost anyone? Can you not empathise with these people? You're all so basic..."me need pictures to understand". It's gross.
6:40 - watching his father an stepmom as they are talking about his injuries is HEARTBREAKING 💔 - it was super hard for *ME* to hear about his injuries ; so I cant even begin to understand how hard it is for *THEM* 😞
I’ve been following this sentencing trail and have watched numerous videos and I am sick with heart ache.. but watching Alex’s father broke me… I have cried like a baby…
That poor poor father, it's unimaginable. Can we take a moment for the medical examiner who has the memory of doing autopsies on these young children? She seems desensitized which is so so sad. May they all get peace
The Dad looking on in utter horror and disbelief. The way he looks his eyes almost seem like they’re asking “we have to keep going? still? after all this?”
His story is devastating, Alex’s biological mother passed when he was only 4 years old. And he’s been in this new nightmare for over 4 years now, and will be for the rest of his life💔
I’m heartbroken for these parents. To see the pain in their eyes and their tired faces truly makes me so very grateful that I have my three reach their early 20’s and to still have them with me on the earth. I truly don’t think I could sit there and listen to them talk of my child’s inflicted injuries and death, I would want to vomit, scream and attack the murderer with my bare hands. These incredible parents out of pure love for their son sit through this, hurting with a pain I hope I never have to endure. It’s any parents worst nightmare. Tears flow down my face seeing this beautiful child’s face, what a handsome young man, who I am sure was the parents most treasured possession. No one has the right to take the life away from another, for what? Because you are angry? You want attention? We as parents and communities are not doing a great job of raising our children ( I know this boys mother passed away and that’s tragic)) but in cases like this many of these kids have had neglect and trauma inflicted on them by there families, agencies have let them down or they have fallen through the cracks , they have been bullied by other children who’s parents have not raised them to know better or encouraged that sort of behaviour! There is not enough nurturing from the community as a whole in the child of today. If early intervention was thorougher and people treated each other with more compassion and kindness our kids may haves better chance of becoming well adjusted and more self aware. Sure this young man made the decision to do this and we all know right from wrong and he should be held accountable for his actions. If they law is the death penalty then so be it. His victims and their families were not given the choice to live or die. To the parents I can not even begin to imagine the hell you must be living in every moment if every day, it’s even difficult for me to even try and imagine. I send you my thoughts and my condolences for your huge loss. Hugs to you both, your son really struck a cord in me just seeing his face, I’m sure he was a beautiful soul. I pray for healing, that one day you can find some joy and peace again. Much love to you.
That man... not only do I see grief but I also see so much anger. He probably wanted to sprint across the courtroom and get Cruz himself. And I wouldn’t blame him one bit. I’ve seen this scenario in other videos where they break and lose complete control.
When a parents hear your son and autopsy, it’s just not right those things are not meant to be beside one’s own son. The worst pain for parents is not physically, it’s the pain in the heart that will never heal no matter how long time passes. It hurts to know there are people in this world with such pain.
Ohhhhhhhh....this is the face of beyond endurance grief......this is difficult for US to watch....I cannot myself imagine what this kind of loss feels like....so sorry
Omg the injuries and his parents having to hear all of that. Please Jesus hold these victims tight in your strength and love. You don't ever get over loosing a child you learn how to live with it. It gets a little easier to breathe and sleep and eat. However, you are never the same. Hugs to you I'm so sorry for this pain you deal with everyday.
Alex’s parents are so beautiful people. My heart aches for them. They had such a handsome boy. He is always with them in spirit but also waits for them in heaven, when one day they will meet again. I loved Alex’s poem, “Life is a rollercoaster 🎢.” Beautiful. He was very talented 🙂. His loving family has my sympathies.
Hopefully this will give them some closure and peace of mind to be able to move forward. The pain will never go away. Valentine's Day 2018 will only get further away but the pain never really goes away! Bless your Heart's and Soul's!❣💔🕯🙏
This is heart-rendering to watch! This grieving Father stays in court, and focuses with deep pain over every horrendous murder that took place. He’s advocating to change laws! My heart goes out to him & the boys Mom, as well as every parent, family and friends affected by this vicious murderer
@@jonnylumberjack6223 get over it. It’s their job to cover a story and get the shots people wanna see and what will get ratings. This is a television network, if you dislike reality, then watch something else.
@@candisham1978 so you want to wallow in someone else's grief? How disgusting. It's grief porn and it's vile. I did stop watching it. Honestly, I do not understand how we got here. What's wrong with you?
Put yourself in their shoes. For four years, the parents and survivors have been called grief actors. So many people didn't want to believe it was real. Now that it's so much harder to deny it was real, people don't want to see and acknowledge the consequences. These parents have been through so much grief and trauma. Would crisis actors still show up four years later and sit in the front row, with the world's eyes on them, to hear and witness graphic autopsy reports? These are real parents and this is real grief. How dare we reject their stoicism.
I have no words to express my sorrow! I wish his parents all the strength in the world 💕 May they find solace and peace and find a way to live feeling the presence of their beloved and amazing child! God bless you🙏
My goodness, just seeing these parents crying and I'm crying with them. It's heartbreaking to watch their emotions. Horrible situation. Hearing all about his wounds is a horror
How aweful this poor father just is so sad his beautiful son is gone because of a terrible act. Pray for Alex and his family and all the families who have to hear this
poor thing - DAD - you did your son proud with your victim statement - your" YOU MAKE ME SICK" statement to them was SOOOOOOOOOO PROFOUND. I cannot imagine the pain and frustration you all went through - and are I'm sure still feeling. Know you made your son proud. i know this doesn't mean ANYTHING - but know there are people out here that FEEL for you.

6:40 - watching his father an stepmom as they are talking about his injuries is HEARTBREAKING 💔 - it was super hard for *ME* to hear about his injuries ; so I cant even begin to understand how hard it is for *THEM* 😞
Those parents held that baby for 14 years, I can't imagine the pain! I wouldn't be able to stop from wailing!
I don't know about you people, but I can feel the parents' pain. I pray God gives them peace and comfort!
I’ve been following this sentencing trail and have watched numerous videos and I am sick with heart ache.. but watching Alex’s father broke me… I have cried like a baby…
Devastating. The anguish in that man's eyes seeing and hearing the details is heartbreaking
God bless these families with strength to hear this examiner's testimony about their child and other children.
the examiner has allot of compassion in her professionalism.
My heart just breaks for these families who lost a child. I don't know how they get through this and listen to the testimony.
his dad's face breaks my heart. I hope nikolas rots in jail.
Damn, man my heart breaks for anyone who has lost a loved one.. whether later on in life or too soon. This is just devastating seeing the fathers pain
That poor poor father, it's unimaginable. Can we take a moment for the medical examiner who has the memory of doing autopsies on these young children? She seems desensitized which is so so sad. May they all get peace
She's doing her job. She can't be an emotional mess.
The Dad looking on in utter horror and disbelief. The way he looks his eyes almost seem like they’re asking “we have to keep going? still? after all this?”
Dearest Max sending you lots of love and strength,may your precious son Alex rest in piece❤️😇🙏
The dads face looks like he’s looking around waiting to wake up from a nightmare 😣😓
His story is devastating, Alex’s biological mother passed when he was only 4 years old. And he’s been in this new nightmare for over 4 years now, and will be for the rest of his life💔
Alex looked just like his dad, im crying with his parents over his wounds. 😭💔
Omg my heart hurts for his parents. They look so broken. I can’t even imagine their pain .
Whyyyyyy GOD why hurt these families??? I am so broken for them all. I am hugging my parents tighter
Seeing parents so broken is really heartbreaking. It must be an awful club to belong to😢
Hugs, prayers, strength sent to them 🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️
I’m heartbroken for these parents. To see the pain in their eyes and their tired faces truly makes me so very grateful that I have my three reach their early 20’s and to still have them with me on the earth. I truly don’t think I could sit there and listen to them talk of my child’s inflicted injuries and death, I would want to vomit, scream and attack the murderer with my bare hands. These incredible parents out of pure love for their son sit through this, hurting with a pain I hope I never have to endure. It’s any parents worst nightmare. Tears flow down my face seeing this beautiful child’s face, what a handsome young man, who I am sure was the parents most treasured possession. No one has the right to take the life away from another, for what? Because you are angry? You want attention? We as parents and communities are not doing a great job of raising our children ( I know this boys mother passed away and that’s tragic)) but in cases like this many of these kids have had neglect and trauma inflicted on them by there families, agencies have let them down or they have fallen through the cracks , they have been bullied by other children who’s parents have not raised them to know better or encouraged that sort of behaviour! There is not enough nurturing from the community as a whole in the child of today. If early intervention was thorougher and people treated each other with more compassion and kindness our kids may haves better chance of becoming well adjusted and more self aware. Sure this young man made the decision to do this and we all know right from wrong and he should be held accountable for his actions. If they law is the death penalty then so be it. His victims and their families were not given the choice to live or die. To the parents I can not even begin to imagine the hell you must be living in every moment if every day, it’s even difficult for me to even try and imagine. I send you my thoughts and my condolences for your huge loss. Hugs to you both, your son really struck a cord in me just seeing his face, I’m sure he was a beautiful soul. I pray for healing, that one day you can find some joy and peace again. Much love to you.
That man... not only do I see grief but I also see so much anger. He probably wanted to sprint across the courtroom and get Cruz himself. And I wouldn’t blame him one bit. I’ve seen this scenario in other videos where they break and lose complete control.
I don’t condone violence or hate but that criminal owes his life for what he did.
When a parents hear your son and autopsy, it’s just not right those things are not meant to be beside one’s own son. The worst pain for parents is not physically, it’s the pain in the heart that will never heal no matter how long time passes. It hurts to know there are people in this world with such pain.
It’s immeasurable 😭
Ohhhhhhhh....this is the face of beyond endurance grief......this is difficult for US to watch....I cannot myself imagine what this kind of loss feels like....so sorry
Has to be horrible for the parents. Very very sad.
Heartbreaking to see the Schacter's as they sit listening to something no parents should ever hear. I am so sorry. 🙏❤
💔 for this family. Much 💕 to all the families....from South Africa.
That sweet boy looks like his Dad. My heart breaks for his parents and the other victims of this evil demon.
Omg the injuries and his parents having to hear all of that. Please Jesus hold these victims tight in your strength and love. You don't ever get over loosing a child you learn how to live with it. It gets a little easier to breathe and sleep and eat. However, you are never the same. Hugs to you I'm so sorry for this pain you deal with everyday.
ugh his poor father! i’m so upset. so heartbroken. i cried hearing this. i want to hug alex’s parents. my heart is broken 💔
In tears. How heart breaking 💔 😢 I am so sorry to all the victims of Parkland and every other school shooting in the USA.
absolute and utter heartbreak
My heart literally breaks for him. My god what a nightmare. Even just hearing his son’s name brought him to tears.
His father's face is heart breaking. How do you ever get over the murder of your child. May God bless all this family.💔💔
Prayers for Alex his stepmom and father you get to see the hurt and the pain so much in their eyes
Lord in your mercy help this young man's parents who clearly are suffering from trauma...x... RIP Alex x
@Tiny Princess is she not grieving?
@Tiny Princess a step parent is still a parent genius.
All parents grieve
Wish I could take this father's pain away 😢🙏
My goodness…may peace surround these precious families
Alex’s parents are so beautiful people. My heart aches for them. They had such a handsome boy. He is always with them in spirit but also waits for them in heaven, when one day they will meet again. I loved Alex’s poem, “Life is a rollercoaster 🎢.” Beautiful. He was very talented 🙂. His loving family has my sympathies.
These parents are so brave to show up and endure the pain. My heart breaks for them.
Absolutely heartbreaking for this young boys Dad and stepmother to hear about his fatal injuries sustained that awful day, May Dear Alex R.I.P 🙏🏼❤❤❤
Just torture for the parents. Horrific.
Hopefully this will give them some closure and peace of mind to be able to move forward.
The pain will never go away.
Valentine's Day 2018 will only get further away but the pain never really goes away!
Bless your Heart's and Soul's!❣💔🕯🙏
This is heart-rendering to watch! This grieving Father stays in court, and focuses with deep pain over every horrendous murder that took place. He’s advocating to change laws! My heart goes out to him & the boys Mom, as well as every parent, family and friends affected by this vicious murderer
How those parents were able to survive this, I can't imagine. I'm surprised there were more suicides and heart attacks among the parents.
I've thought this too and of myself. I couldn't go through it.
Sending love love love to his precious family. RIP sweet Alex
The fathers expressions are heart-breaking
Why do the cameras have to zoom in on the grieving families? It's insensitive and voyeuristic. 😥
So glad to see someone else saying the same thing. It's disgusting - making entertainment out their grief.
@@jonnylumberjack6223 get over it. It’s their job to cover a story and get the shots people wanna see and what will get ratings. This is a television network, if you dislike reality, then watch something else.
@@candisham1978 so you want to wallow in someone else's grief? How disgusting. It's grief porn and it's vile. I did stop watching it. Honestly, I do not understand how we got here. What's wrong with you?
Put yourself in their shoes. For four years, the parents and survivors have been called grief actors. So many people didn't want to believe it was real. Now that it's so much harder to deny it was real, people don't want to see and acknowledge the consequences. These parents have been through so much grief and trauma. Would crisis actors still show up four years later and sit in the front row, with the world's eyes on them, to hear and witness graphic autopsy reports? These are real parents and this is real grief. How dare we reject their stoicism.
@@MickeyMacks1 oh my god, you're so gross. You use conspiracy theory deniers the reason for your enjoyment of this? You're sick.
I have no words to express my sorrow! I wish his parents all the strength in the world 💕 May they find solace and peace and find a way to live feeling the presence of their beloved and amazing child! God bless you🙏
Our deepest condolences to his family ❤️ we are so sorry for your loss
Heartbreaking.
So sad. I don't know how the father is sitting there across from that vile person. Rip angel.
My goodness, just seeing these parents crying and I'm crying with them. It's heartbreaking to watch their emotions. Horrible situation. Hearing all about his wounds is a horror
Does the camera really have to zoom in and focus on the parent’s grief? What a shameful invasion of privacy!
The pain these parents of the victims is unimaginable My heart goes out to them all! The pain must be unbearable! My sincerest condolences.
How aweful this poor father just is so sad his beautiful son is gone because of a terrible act. Pray for Alex and his family and all the families who have to hear this
His dad loved him so much 🙏🏽💜. Must’ve been his best friend . Rest In Peace Alex 💜
it’s truly baffling with so many shootings, why people choose to stay in america - move out and raise your children elsewhere
poor thing - DAD - you did your son proud with your victim statement - your" YOU MAKE ME SICK" statement to them was SOOOOOOOOOO PROFOUND. I cannot imagine the pain and frustration you all went through - and are I'm sure still feeling. Know you made your son proud. i know this doesn't mean ANYTHING - but know there are people out here that FEEL for you.
