- Stephan Sterns parents: created a Monster.
#stephansterns #debraandChrisSterns #madelinesoto
The parents of Stephan Sterns were enablers in creating the Monster that their son became. They supported him, gave him a car to use, paid his rent and ignored obvious warning signs. Debra and Chris Sterns are enablers.

Debra's obsession with hatred for Jenn makes it obvious she forgets she was no better parent then her .
The problem is that they keep making excuses and sending him items in jail. They’re also feeling sorry for themselves which I see in his interviews. Their behavior doesn’t show why he’s a pedo and a murderer but it does show why he’s a selfish whiner.
Very true!!
Yes.
Enabling is part of the familial dysfunction.
These parents didn’t harm Maddie.
Maddie’s mother harmed her. I’m more interested in seeing Jennifer Soto charged with the criminal neglect that caused her child’s abuse and demise.
I think that people should focus on THAT parent. Period.
@@PollyAlice2000 Exactly
The only person I feel sorry for is little Maddie , she just had nobody 😢 .my heart just brakes for that beautiful child 💔.!
@@joannewatts9892 I agree
Yes SS is a monster 👹 I’m not a morning person!!!🤣
yes true, not a person. He is not a morning monster!!!
That voice of SS is nails on a chalkboard.
He's mother was an enabling person and his Dad. He was loud and violent with them IMO. THEY knew he was bad.
I can see that the parents babied Stephan. A parent/parents can only do the best they can. How a child turns out, is not always how a child was raised. Parents should not always be blamed for their child/children behaviour.
They have enabled him he’s whole life! You can blame them, they are still making excuses for him saying an accident from 30 years ago BS… my son has brain damage from a bike accident he’s never EVER done anything like this grub‼️ the judge will be the first person to not cop he’s 💩 he will finally be held accountable‼️
I agree. These parents have been through hell with this leach.
This is absolutely ridiculous. They spoilt their child, they’re not responsible for his actions. Stop blaming everyone else - it’s all on him! I feel very, very sorry for them. They seem like pretty decent people.
Wanna make a bet?
depending on individual case / ppl.
Come on guys, you’ve also spoken badly about SS parents, but it appears ever since they did that interview, you’ve done a complete 360. I’m still not buying everything they’re saying about what they allegedly witnessed when JS & Maddie were at their house.
If these parents truly want the public to leave them alone then they should stay out of the public eye. They are still treating Stephen Stearns like he’s 16 years old. The father is trying to make his son find a career, as he worries about the lack of maintenance on Stephan’s car! It’s ridiculous to think that he was still paying Stephan’s rent 😂 and hurriedly rushed to find hotel rooms for his son and Jenn. I could go on and on…these people can send candy to this deviant man child but they don’t get applause for it!
@@DonnaLena1 From watching their interview I think the Sterns felt a need to defend themselves against all the blame and hate.Was it a smart move probably not They felt like they are on trial
His mom paid off someone before because of their son's pervy behavior...
They never taught Stephan any life skills.
His mom screams at Stephan and is horrific to him and also wants him to need her completely...
Very dysfunctional.
Stephan only practices his own life skills. He didn't listen, didn't obey, didn't care...nothing changed. He has no empathy. He only cares for himself and his appetites. Even the most disciplined, educated and energetic parents would have had a very, very difficult time with him. I am not making excuses for them. I only care that Maddie was murdered after he tortured her for years, whilst she was neglected and never afforded the most basic dignity. Unfortunately, this case is one of so many. Suffer the children. What a tragedy that Maddie was not cherished enough by those who entrusted with her care, to prevent her exploitation and murder.
@@dokpikun-bg3en Every single adult in Maddie's life failed her...
🌈 💜 🌈
@@dokpikun-bg3en So very well said.
Why did SS mother not call CPS regarding Maddie and the sleeping Arrangements? In my opinion I think she knew her son and Maddie had an unusual relationship . I don't give her a pass
I see half head!! Try to center the pix lol
Someone stole his chair, he's sitting on a pumkin..
@@crackerjack5210 lol ok 👌
They didn’t just “baby” him they enabled him and turned a blind eye to HUGE red flags waving in their faces and they CONTINUE to make excuses and enable his behavior they also have said some racist and bizarre things that just make them look worse
Nobody twisted Stephan's arm inclubing worst mother of the year Jenn .
I do feel like SS parents deserve some dignity in this situation.
They did not commit this crime, their son did.
You’re always going to be a parent and most of us would not disown our child.
SS is exactly where he should be, he will never get out.
Jenn will be under a magnifying glass for years to come whether she likes it or not.
I’m not a fan at all of SS parents indulging SS and cleaning up his messes. SS parents do not deserve harassment.
People need to leave them alone! I do think the Stearns might want to stay away from interviews, they did not come off well.
The only thing they did that was wrong wasn't that , it was blaming everyone but themselves for Stephan having problems like school complained solution home school.
STERNS PARENTS SPOILED HIM TO THE FULLEST
@@juanpagan4595 That is not what made him a murderer and predator.O.k. they spoiled him.
I can’t empathize with parents who raise a spoiled child, enable a grown adult and turn a blind eye to obvious deviant behavior. Clearly, they were disconnected from their son. And now the PR campaigns on you tube are simply nauseating.
Professor Geary is a better man than most and I imagine that’s why he’s an educator. I want justice for Maddie. I don’t care about SS’s problems.
If the parents get butt hurt over comments on social media then stay off of it.
Thank you Sgt Bill and Prof Geary for allowing me to vent. 💙💙
The difference: their son is alive! When you listen to them, they accept that he did this but it’s not his fault. They have given any number of reasons, for something that may not be his fault- his dark proclivities. He is alive. Maddie is not. He did that.
If he had such a terrible brain injury and ran over his pelvis, how did he get to go home and not be hospitalized. His mother didn't like germs.
The parents saved him everytime from consequences. ..that's how they're culpable.
Hi bill I can barely see the 3/4 top of your head.
I try watching your coverage of this case but it's too ugly to hang around for.
I used to live the true crime channels but they don't really cover all the ugly, disgusting parts like on yt. And even that's censored.
I think I'm getting too old.
I love your channel because of you, Bill.

It's not working for me again today 😢
these parents were manipulated by their son. this mother did know enough not to let maddie sleep with stephan.
@@dianayount2122 And she enforced it.Maddie slept with her and the doggies
NO. I don't criticize. I simply refuse to accept their excuse making and the infantilized outcome of their lifestyle choices. They're equally responsible for how Stephan turned out and the fact that they weren't proactive about getting out ahead of his weaponized social development.
I could only see half of Sergeant Bill's face. The picture is way off. 🛑🛑🛑
Can you IMAGINE Thanksgiving at the Kohbergers?
If my son tried to sleep in the same tiias his stepdad, or even if I HEARD about him sleeping with her over at Jens house,HE would come up missing 😡 this is so disgusting
Some parents do all the right things and things still go wrong😢😢😢😢
TBIs absolutely change a person! My son had one at age six and his behavior changed overnight. We were fortunate that his healed. It took three years. If there is frontal lobe damage then watch out! That can cause serious harm.
Did your son commit crimes equal to their son's? TBI's are not all equal.
Learned behavior..
I think mom was running the show..good bad or ugly..
I would have absolutely felt sympathy for the two, the Sterns, but they made 20 excuses for why he committed the atrocities upon Maddie that he did ! They could stay out of the spotlight and allow Maddie to be the ONLY victim, but it truly felt like they were trying to make their son out to be a victim as well SMFH! They then went on to act as if Jen dangled her daughter like a carrot and their son had no other option, but to take the bait! Absolutely disgusting! THEY ARE GROSS!!! 🤮
I’m not into blaming the parents. I’m sure they had no idea how to handle Stephan, who in some ways, never developed into a fully functioning adult. My heart goes out to them because they have to be in a bad place right now. I’m sure they are suffering in a despicable way. I feel that they are victims too. If you really think about it, Stephan’s mother was the only one who protected Maddie…not her mother, father, grandmother or her grandfather. A TBI doesn’t cause a person to become a pedi@@@@….but it can cause disinhibition and impulsivity, which could lead to behaviors that would otherwise not be exhibited by a person. I’m in the mental health field and I have seen this play out in all sorts of ways. Also, the fact that Maddie felt comfortable telling Stephan’s mom that she woke up with her leg on Stephan might have been because Stephan’s mom was the only one who bothered to communicate with Mattie on any significant level. Either way, the parents are not responsible for raising a monster and they deserve sympathy, not cruelty.
Must be hell for them. Thought dad was candid speaking on Stephan being lone perp. So fair enough how awful.
Drug addicts are so manipulative as we know and when it’s your kid you don’t often see the signs. Eventually you wake up to their BS but it can take a while. Saw it myself with my parents and my brother. It was frustrating and a lot of tension during those years. My brother wasn’t a killer or SA but the stealing and lies were terrible.
Parents, friends have every right to support their grown child in jail. The parents warned him. I think if he stayed away from Jenn this would likely not have happen. The space of time when Sterns groomed Maddie did make the little girl think she had a loving parent in her life, might have even had a child-like crush on him. That’s what grooming is. It seems Maddie grew into the grooming and grew out of it. It’s still Jenn’s fault. And Sterns for being a heinous pervert.
My son get into a bad patch with his wife went out and used drugs after not hsing for three and a half years , i don't blame his wife I blame myself for not instilling better coping skills .
There’s absolutely no excuse for what SS did, he was born with issues
his parents are likely to see him face the electric chair....I can't even imagine how that would feel
Madeline or Jenn did not make Stephan a pedophile. He was one when he entered their lives
Spot on.
I am afraid that he might have already been a rapist, too. Time will tell.
I actually have very little sympathy for these parents, of course I don't wish bad things on them but they didn't lose a child, they created a monster. There is a lot of blame on line for the mother Jen but after this interview - it's as if these folks perpetuated the gas lighting and lying right onto Jen. They were so busy trying to convince Stephen he was a good guy and giving him endless chances and excuses, you don't think Jen was being deceived by that? They admit to treating Maddie like a grand child- give me a break.
Stephen acted alone supported entirely by his parents funds.
I'm 💯 percent certain that he was selling those images of Maddies SA.
@@HerMajesty1 A lot of the images were found in the parents storage unit. Stephen used their car to move Maddie's body. I get that they won't be held criminally liable but...I mean Jen could have a civil suit on her hands.
I do not feel sorry for the monster's parents.
We must correct BAD behavior, when they are little. All little ones want to know right from wrong. And when Parents willfully neglect their Parental Responsibilities, kids get confused.
Correct them and be consistent.
But the most important thing, PRAY over your children. Put prayers on them. Ask The Lord to guide their steps, protect them, help teach them, and bless them.
It is the most important thing you can do.
The Sterns' are religious people who pray, a lot. Prayers don't 'cure' the Stephan Sterns of the world. I've seen plenty in my career that involved all sorts of perps from all walks of life, including people who prayed. It is great for your own peace of mind? Great, go for it. But it won't stop what he became. What you said is a disservice to people of faith who realize they need to use the brains that God gave them.
There is babying, and there is being complicit to obvious problems that your child may have. Make no mistake, this behavior comes out very early in life💯 these types of parents (especially mothers) make excuses and hide their son's evil deeds because getting their little Chucky's Spawn son some help would have meant they had to first acknowledge something is wrong with him💯 I can't believe he tried to sleep with her at his parents house too ....that shows you how comfortable he was with displaying his deviancy
@oaklandmade007 perfectly said.
The familial relationships also developed over time (maladapted), and there's no 'healthy' in anything Sterns does to others or how they react to him. When people have something at stake (whatever it is), they will default to whatever it takes to placate a problematic relationship and save whatever skin they have in the game. Just toxic. Easier to default and continue rather than change course and learn new behavior. This is utterly tragic. Maddie is dead and before he murdered her, he tortured her for years. She experienced no fairness in her life. Frankly, the adults involved can all go pound sand. Maddie deserved so much better.
@@dokpikun-bg3en REAL TALK 💯 you can just go down the row of all of them😡 this case upset me so bad that Im having to take it in doses..I haven't heard the roommate's testimony, but I'm thinking there is no way that they didn't know that he was in the room with her😕 if I was renting a room from there and I saw some crap like that, i would go ape 💩 CRAZY and have the police, CPS, the DEA, hell, the IRS, and everyone else there with an alphabet name💯😡 im quite sure I'd catch an assault charge too 😡 people who see this and sit there and do NOTHING are just as bad as the ones who are doing it💯if i was his mom, when Maddie told me the sleeping arrangements, I would have called my son over to make him meet his Maker😡 he would be running towards the police to save him from ME😡, AND I would have AT LEAST called CPS on Jen! talking crap about it and telling her grown AZZ disgusting son "bad boy! Don't do that" didn't mean a thing ...I mean, she found a "sex torso" in his room.😐..a sex torso? What the hell? why are they selling sex toys in body parts? ..how is he having sex with just that part? 🤨 Just thinking about someone this SICK having unsupervised access to a little girl for YEARS ( don't forget the pedos online who consumed all the abuse too) 😡just hurts me to the core..
@@dokpikun-bg3enWell said !!!
They are lying about the car accident a truck bumper would do irreparable damage to a small child then ran over again no no no lies
Yes and there'd be plenty of medical evidence to support it if it was true. They haven't mentioned any 🤔
I call b.s. on the Sterns saying tbi .I don't believe there was one.
@@debbiesclunsen9744 I agree. Otherwise there'd be medical history of him attending a neurologist, scan results etc and the Sterns would be quoting it. Where's the evidence of a TBI? 🤔🤔🤔
Don't like the insinuation from Mom Debbie that Stephan was just a guy with hormones who happened to be the benefactor of Maddie's Mother sending her to his bed. As if she's trying to minimize his heinous actions.
They have created a monster! They’ve made excuses for him he’s whole life, they’ve let him stand over them instead of having him charged for sterling off them! In the beginning they half pie blamed Maddie💓 the father was a copper at one point he should’ve layed the law down‼️ my son has brain damage from a motorbike accident 19 months in the brain unit had to learn to walk & talk again NEVER has he done the crap Stephan has!!! Yes he has anger problems sometimes but never stole committed horrendous S-A on anyone there still making excuses for him‼️ paying he’s rent phone car ect… they enable him his whole life is disgusting sorry no sympathy for them. They’re still making excuses for him he’s a poor excuse for a man & human being
Does anyone wonder where Stephan sterns learned about sodomy? Who did he learn that from? I’m not saying it was his father, but I AM saying that his father knew where he learned it from. This is why his ex-law enforcement father - Chris sterns - continues to enable him to this day. The mom is more similar to Jenn Soto (this is why she judges her so harshly), in that she preferred to make excuses for Stephan’s behavior out of some kind of guilt for knowing he was abused. At the end of the day, Stephan stern’s parents talk about him and throw him under the bus in the same way that Jenn Soto and Stephan talk about Madeline and throw her under the bus. They blame her adhd, the mom blames her for “kicking and punching” while she sleeps (Jenn’s very own words in the police interrogation video that just came out). These families are gross, bc they enable evil and when justice comes knocking, they all throw each other under the bus.
I worked with people with brain Injury at The Courage Center. More brain injury than SS has. I worked with them using adaptive tecnology. It depends which part of the brain was damaged. If its the frontal lobe or amygdala it really affects the conscience. Certain other parts of the brain and they have a short temper. You can clearly see the parents could have influenced him to get follow up care if this was an issue. I don't fully blame them but they had money so they had influence over him. A parent with no resources has less influence. They could have denied him a car or housing for not going to get help.
Ridiculous
I felt bad for the parents- they enabled his laziness but I don’t think they are horrible people.
A TBI can most definitely alter a person's judgment, ability to process info, personality and, possibly, capacity - for the rest of their life. It is, indeed, a very big issue. Just my two cents as a mental health attorney, with biopsych background.
Crim, Homicide Investigator and Forensic Psych here, TBI can increase risk for behavioral changes but no strong evidence that it creates risk (alone) for the likes of Mr. Sterns. Current evidence suggests it is one facet of a very complicated risk assessment. If they are trying to set the stage for his defense, it went over like a lead balloon.
His parents remind me of my brother and mom. He is still not held accountable after an arrest and loosing his vice president job. I’m the scapegoat of the family & he keeps doing evil.
Yes they are enablers
I'm surprised S.S. mom didn't confront him and Jen about the sleeping arrangements that Maddie told her about.
Debbie Sterns said she did confront Soto.Soto told her that Maddie wakes up afraid and sneaks into her bed Debbie Sterns told her to lock the door
I can onle see the top half of the video.
