Proud of the brother for defending her!!! Yes, he accidentally hit her and I hope he doesn’t let that weigh too heavy on his heart. Because of him she’s alive!
I ended up in a similar situation with two guys attacking my bf on the ground. I was kicking them as much as I could but I know I missed 1-2 kicks and hit him instead. But it was me kicking that kept them from being able to punch him and eventually they had enough and stopped.
I don’t think she would it was a accident that saved her life if he did not by accident hit her with a bad sad to say he would have to go to a cemetery to see his sister but she recovered very well
No it's because of her brother she was in the hospital and has a head injury, you can't just go into a room willy-nilly swinging a bat and smacking people in the heads he's the one that committed attempted murder
In Canada, I was told, " We can't keep them in jail forever." Also, our 'Life' term ends at 25 yrs. They can then start applying for parole. I just read in our News that a live 'Horror Story' here in Vancouver, "Robert Pickton"😳, is able to start applying for day parole!! This is a real 'Oh My Gosh', you wouldn't think this would be able to ever happen!! It doesn't necessarily mean he's going to be granted it, but the victims & family's have to relive everything, to be heard as to why this shouldn't be allowed. They never are able to have peace and just live, loving life. 😔 I'm so sad for these true victims for what they have to go through their whole lives. It never stops for them 😥. Even when the Evil Soul goes to Prison. It's not right. Why can't they make a jail where life is Life!! The victims will then maybe, live a life with some peace.😔
That's like 80% of crimes talked about (That's not real, just a exaggeration) Most of the crimes are abusive partners, just...it goes less to leaving and more someone ends up murdered
No education to young ppl to being safe not trusting to meet up w someone that’s what this means. We know the data , it’s that high because it’s not talked about enough
One thing I feel that should be a class in high school is one teaching about relationships. The more awareness kids have about healthy and unhealthy relationships with their partners, the more they are able to recognise the signs of a toxic and abusive relationships so they can get out quickly and safely. And it's not just relationships with a boyfriend/girlfriend that should be discussed, but relationships with family and friends, too. If I had known that what my stepfather was subjecting me and my mum and sisters to was a form of abuse, I would have gotten away sooner. I didn't even know that my stepdad was a narcissistic abuser who is emotionally, verbally, and financially abuser until a therapist through victim services told me so after I became an adult.
I dated a guy just like this for 4 years. I’m so glad she survived! ❤ To anyone going through similar experiences, it’s not your fault. You can get out. Save yourself. Don’t let them convince you to stay.
@@SirNic4180how is it their fault? Clearly you've never been in an abusive relationship where you're scared to leave because you'll get stalked and killed
that is how it is a lot of the time. cheaters and abusers will accuse YOU of cheating and abusing them, when they are really projecting exactly what they're doing onto you.
She breaks up with him because he cheats and not because he beats her? I assume it was because she thought he did something wrong by cheating but the beatings were her fault? We need to do better in teaching our kids (especially girls) to value themselves.
@@luns486 I think it was more so for this reason. I know when I was with my ex, I had to wait until I had that 'smoking gun' reason to leave. I finally was able to leave, only to find out I was 2 almost 3 months pregnant. I had no idea! Although not together, that bought me an 18yr life sentence with him in my life still. Ugh.
The Judge also denied a protective order after he was first arrested for holding the knife to her throat. The judge should join him in prison as culpable and indirectly an assessory for attempted murder.
I feel that the judge saw how young he was and decided to be lenient with him. He was given a long sentence, though? I feel that the fact he's locked away for decades is a bit of a win here. In my country, he probably would never see the inside of a prison. He'd be given a suspended sentence even if the victim spoke to the court about her experiences and how terrified she is of her attacker.
They should have also told the police the first time that he looked in the windows,they didnt.When she says she didnt leave because she didnt know any better,that is so common and proof that prevention and recognizing red flags begins at home.Having survived a deadly attack by an ex ,myself,women and girls must be taught that this kind of control leads to abuse and that it certainly isnt love.
It never goes away but helping others with your survival helps.This I know all too well.Even when my ex was in prison,I would think I saw him in a crowd and call the prison.Time does not heal all wounds,it merely cushions the blow.But when you find out that you have the power to save others from the same fate,it makes it all count.
@@bahrealoh please Trumps charges are all bs and everyone knows it! Kinda funny they charge Trump with having classified documents but yet Biden was found with the same exact thing but yet in your eyes it’s different for some reason! And some woman 20 years later comes out and accuses him of rape with zero evidence at all but he gets convicted by shady liberal judges! The woman was trying to sell her book ! You libs are the biggest bunch of hypocrites on planet earth! Hopefully one day it’s not your family member who gets convicted of a crime all on an accusation! Smh how ignorant you all sound! Trump 2024 and when it happens I can’t wait to rub it in you alls faces! 😅
I can’t believe that the attempted murder charge didn’t stick, too. That is so upsetting. I guess it’s because we have a judicial system and not a justice system. 🤬
I'm so happy that she survived! How on earth could that have been anything but Attempted Murder? The system sucks! This girl will have to be on her guard for the remainder of her life with that wacko out there.
@@cynthiaconnors183 I swear the courts just don't care if your life is ruined. I mean she was almost kiIIed and now she has to look over her shoulder for the remainder of her life? No skin off the judge's nose!
It definitely should have been attempted murder, but I'm shocked that he got a mandatory 29 years (up to 60 years) for the lesson charges. In the state of Washington a guy got 26 years for first-degree premeditated murder - in a plea deal with an iron clad case - and that her mother strongly opposed and WANTED to go to trial! (Kassandra's Secret on 48 Hours.) Talk about a miscarriage of justice! It's astonishing how drastically sentences can vary from state to state, especially when plea deals are involved - and Washington DAs are afraid to go to trial in a lot of cases for some reason. It makes no sense.
My first husband, which not many people even know about bc I don’t mention him, was a control freak. We stayed married only six to nine months. Before we married he was great. After we married, and I mean right after, like our honeymoon he changed into the control freak monster he really was. He cheated, did drugs, slapped me around. It was insane. He did a complete one eighty after we married. I left one morning like I was going to work (which I worked at the same place his mother did) and went to my mother’s house, called my dad and went back over for my things. I had a restraining order and he still would call me! Finally after two years of total hell, he left me alone. He scared me. One time I went to his mother after he slapped me around hoping she would talk to him and take my side and she said to me “ well, you must have done something wrong for him to hit you.” And that is a direct quote. I couldn’t believe it! I feel lucky to have gotten out when I did. He threatened my life, pulled a weapon on me twice, and constantly talked down to me. I don’t get people like him. I’m glad this young lady got out with her life. But I fear like she does that it’s not over. Scary. ❤️💜💚
I’m so sorry for all the pain, fear and horrific experiences that you endured. 🙏🏾 I’m so grateful that you made it out alive and lived to share your story, as you can help a lot of young women by sharing it. It’s so disgusting that his Mother blamed you. 🤦🏾♀️ No wonder he turned out the way he did. There were never any consequences and everything was always “someone else’s fault.” Son or not, right is right and wrong is wrong. It makes me sick to know that as soon as you married, he thought he “owned you,” and looked at you as property. But that’s how they do it. They can only keep up the facade for so long. Again, I’m so sorry dear. I’m proud of you!! 👏🏽 🙌🏾 So proud of you! I know how hard it is to make and execute an escape plan. Thank you for sharing your story, Sis! May God keep and bless you and your family! 🙏🏾 ❤🤗🥰
"Adam beats the attempted murder rap." < Sigh. Why do some justice systems continue to fail us. From protecting bad/racist cops to sentences which are experienced as like light slaps on the wrists of heinous perps, we may need to re-establish sentences which accurately fit the crimes.
Adam managed to beat the attempted murder rap, but he got to be put away for decades in prison... Still, I feel that what he did was attempted murder and that should have been taken into consideration here as well.
As a single dad for two teenage girls, it enrages me when sociopaths like this are never held accountable in any meaningful way. The cops are doing everything they can!! The courts need to step up and support law enforcement!!!
She is so unbelievably lucky to have survived. My husband niece did not. She was only a junior in high school. I don't and will not understand how the justice system believes that a piece of paper is going to keep the victims safe.
Well she obviously chose him despite the obvious red flags and still continued to unlock her home, and put her family in unecessary danger. Its not Santa Claus, its not her dog that did all that.... it was obviously her responsibility@@TheChrislewis1989
You sometimes don't know...I had a boyfriend back in my 20s. Visited his family, went on dates, stayed at each others homes and it was great. I started getting threatening calls, some disgusting stuff being done over the phone for about 4 months not knowing who it was. One evening I was at his parent's house with him, while his parent's were away, we were house sitting. He was acting weird. We tucked into bed for the night and that's when he tried to stranle me. I got free, grabbed my bag and RAN LIKE HELL out the front door. Hiding here and there till I got to a store and ran behind the counter telling the cashier to call a taxi for me. I called police once i got home and barricaded myself in my home. Police got him. Not all who get into these situations have red flags or abuse until the perpetrator seriously loses it. Oh, those creepy calls were actually him. Police discovered he was also stalking me while in a relationship with me. 30 years later, I still look over my shoulder. I hope the victim in this story can find peace someday. I unfortunately haven't.
What an awful experience. How terrible to think that you are with someone who loves you just to find out that they want to destroy you. Glad you are ok.
how the hell does he stab her and attempt to set her on fire but escape from attempted murder? The jury needs to give their heads a shake because when this twit gets out, he may just try it again.
My psychotic ex had the same blue eyes.when he got angry it was as if they turned black,like he was actually possessed or something.he went to prison for 21 years,he found me the week he could leave his halfway house after calling my phone 367 times,i don't even know how he got my number.Luckily i had people to protect me and he ended up doing some fentanyl and dying not too long after,so the trash took itself out in my situation.So if she is smart ,she would just go ahead and change her name now,which i realize as a teenager,to completely delete your social media,it's like dying,but i promise you it's better to do it now,because he will find you when he gets out.
I’m a guy and dated a guy just as psycho as him. He hit me the first night when I asked him to be my BF. He started stalking me and wanted to know everything I was doing at all times. Really amazes me how I let it go on for 2 weeks. Glad it was ok after.
A phlegmatic masochist? 😆 I would't be suprised if she annoyed him by making suggestive threats... Not to say what he did was ok, but she knew him - and still put herself at risk!
They were all home with other teens in the house, probably going in & out. Hard to keep up with locking all the time. As well as, he had an RO. Question is, Who tries to murder their girlfriend after he cheated and beat her? The blame is solely on him.
@@merilaescobarAbsolutely the blames is all on him. But my door always remain locked regardless of how many times we go in an out, especially with a crazy guy on the loose. It’s unfortunately the world we live in.🤷🏻♀️
If you are going to allow your fourteen year old CHILD to date, the very LEAST you can do is educate her/him on warning signs of a bad/abusive relationship. And reiterate to them that they can talk to you.
I would bet her mom wanted to have him as well. Stupid family simply and clear but I am glad Adam in jail hopefully he will have a hard time there that will affect his mental and emotional state; no one will miss him
Any man or woman who is being abused should NOT let their abuser win. You can't change anyone, You can't help them. They will continue to abuse you or whoever they are in a relationship with.
@@geminiseason6901you are victim blaming. The fact that y'all have to worry about that says everything about y'all I need to know. I'm not even liberal or conservative. I just have common sense and human decency. No one allows things to happen. Teahers at her school knew there was something wrong with him. The mom tried to get away from her the best she could. He ended up being on probation for 4 or six months. They were trying everything short of putting over in a locked tower. Good god.
One of the most ridiculous parts of these types of stories with these psycho dudes is that they dictate every bit of their girlfriend's lives and they're always terrified that their gf is going to cheat on them, but they are always the one who is cheating anyway. As a man I cannot stand anyone who puts their hands on women with the intent to do bodily harm. You don't love anything except yourself you psycho.. these are the types of guys-people I would love to get him locked in a room with me for 10 minutes of what will be pure hell for him now..Give him a taste of his own medicine. Sophia was so strong for standing up in court and making him hear her piece. And she's super smart because well she shouldn't ever have to change her name and move out of state undetected.. The sad truth is these women usually always have to. Also you could tell her brother still to this day just feels awful about hitting his sister with that bat. Even if he is the one that saved her. His head was down and he looked ashamed. And he definitely shouldn't be. Hopefully he knows he's a great brother and a true hero.
@@KatherineLaura6564what? Of course they want to be abusers. Otherwise, they wouldnt abuse anyone. They do the vile things they do, because they WANT their victim to hurt. They want to inflict pain because they believe the victim deserves it. They don't need help, because the help won't change them. It's their personality, that will never change. Some people confuse true mental health conditions, with personality/character flaws. These arent cases of a simple lapse in judgement, where they are going through something and snap. Or a case where a person is truly not well mentally, dealing with a condition like schizophrenia. Or having a psychotic break. Which are all things that require and can have success, in helping a person through. However, cases like what's described in the op comment, or in the video. These types of people don't need help, and no amount of help, will change them. These are the type of people who need to be kept away from society, or at the very least, have a close eye kept on them, keeping away from the vulnerable. My English is not the best, so I may not be explaining things very well. I apologize for that. Basically, what I am trying to say, is that yes, there are cases where prison is not the answer, with mental health treatment being the better route. However. The majority of cases are not like this, with instead of it being a mental health concern. It's a character/personality issue, which can not be fixed. Ever. With prison being the better option.
@@KatherineLaura6564 my abusive ex boyfriend said he would do things that he knew would hurt me on purpose because he liked seeing me be hurt or in pain.
After he was arrested and given 4 yrs probation why would you not make sure every door and window was locked at your home??!! For him to get into their house because he knew about a door always being unlocked is wrong! As a mom I would’ve made sure every door and window was locked and I’d get alarm system installed!!!
Why are their so many weak men out there who cannot handle a women breaking their heart. I got dumped abruptly when I was 22 by a girl I adored. In the moment when it was happening I was crushed and confused, I tried to reason with her asking for another chance/what I did wrong but it was obvious her mind was made. You know how I handled it....I walked out her house calmly and drove home, felt kinda crummy for a couple weeks and never talked to her again. Why flip out? Why hurt her? People can do whatever they want and be with whoever they want and you just have to accept that. The few weaklings who live by the code if I cant have you nobody can are some of the most dangerous people on earth.
@@cynthiaconnors183 The guys that are antisocial as hell call it "having power" just like the cops do, sometimes they call it "being strong". Girls almost always just call it being "strong". She CHOSE to be with him because she wanted a guy that was "strong." It's nobody's fault but hers, she could have found another guy or simply done without.
Chris pretty much just said that she was so pretty that her mom actually cared about her 😂😂 Then, she goes on to describe activity any parent should have noticed but her parents were clueless.
I think that is a bit harsh to blame the mother....bruises can be covered quite easily. Another form of victim blaming which is so typical of human beings!!!
He lost his damn mind!!! I think we should teach our kids how to fight because you never know when something like this is going to happen. And yes there does need to be tougher sentences against domestic violence. Because this can happen to ANYONE
Damn right, Sis! 👏🏽 We absolutely should teach our children self defense. The world is full of evil and it’s only going to get worse. Teaching our children to fight and defend themselves, also teaches them how valuable they are. So many people fall victim to these predators bc they don’t value themselves, lack self esteem, etc. Id like your comment a thousand times if I could, Miss KatieAnn! I might also add that although people like to say that firearms aren’t necessary, I disagree, completely! Teaching our children proper firearm safety skills, through proper training, can save lives as well. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, dear. May God keep and bless you and your family! 🙏🏾 ❤
So, someone’s stalking your daughter and you leave a door unlocked….wtf? Also, did judge order he undergo counseling or treatment, or did everyone/his parents think this w just go away? I don’t mean to berate the victims, but wonder if more proactive management might have given a different result.
I had to move out of the contingent USA basically overnight to get away from my psycho abusive ex. In less than a year after I left, he had already killed my 2 cats I'd had for over a decade that I was about to be able to bring over with me into the country. Another year after that he murdered the lady who'd let him live in the addition on the side of her house. She told me once that the addition used to belong to her only child, a daughter she said was killed a couple years prior. Then she, herself, is killed a few years later by my accursed ex, and then he set the house on fire. If I hadn't gotten away, it would've been me. RIP to my fur baby angels, Ali Cat & Precious Kitty. ❤ Always. RIP to both Bobbie Anderson & her daughter, Blaire. ...All taken too damn soon.
Parents, you have to be mindful with allowing your young daughters to be in relationships. This type of behavior is happening far too often, ending with death for most. I’m a school employee and Ive seen too many abusive situations. One of my students was killed by her boyfriend when she ended it. Even had a restraining order on him, and it didn’t matter.
What? Are you suggesting to not allow your daughter to date? And no, most dating relationships to not end in death. I am a school employee as well, and very few students have ever talked about being abused by their boy/girl friend.. Sure it happens, but don't act like it is the norm.
How you cheat then beats up the person you cheat on because they want to break up with you smh . And she have well enough time to take self defense classes and gun classes if she’s that scared that he would come after her . Cause who’s to say he would out live his sentence
These insane stalker going on sociopaths are getting younger and younger and they're just as terrifying as grown men in their 40s! It's unbelievable! I didn't know they had these traits at such a young age!
Imagine you having to make plans not to retire one day and live your best life but instead hiding one day cause you don’t want to be ended by a crazy x 😢 and heaven forbid she’ll have to also run one day with her kid’s or something . I hope she marries a great strong man that she’ll feel she don’t need to run cause he’ll protect her !
I'm 24 and although I live in another city and work in construction, my Mom makes me send her my credit card statements because she doesn't want me to buy useless things and my Internet is monitored, I can't even have Netflix. I'm from a Korean family. She controls a lot of my life, unfortunately, and as the oldest I have to look after her. I have told her she's kind of interfering, but I agree that parents need to really talk to their adult and minor children about the dangers of the Internet, teens getting into their friends' cars as there can be distractions while driving, meeting people in person, leaving your drinks alone opening a window for someone to spike them, not honking your car horn, saying thank you when someone hodor for you, etc. Yes, there have been lives taken because the suspects didn't receive a thank you! I have a niece and I couldn't believe I acted like my Mom when I found out she had a lot of social media accounts and 'friends.' No 13 year old has 1200+ followers on Instagram and Facebook.
You know, a Mother’s love is so deep and so strong, that you’ll do anything to keep your children safe. Even our adult children. To be fair, the prefrontal cortex isn’t fully developed until the mid to late twenties. So, we must continue to look out for and protect y’all, even now. Your Mother sounds like an incredibly loving woman. Although sometimes it doesn’t feel that way, it’s all out of love. I’m glad to hear that you had that experience, feeling like your Mom, when it came to your Niece, bc now you truly understand that love is correction. Thanks for sharing this, swallowedinthesea11! 🙏🏾 ❤All my love, Auntie Sherita 🤗
One of my brother's close friends experienced the same. He separated from his 50 something year old partner. His housemates thought she was returning/picking up some belongings. She lit his bed on fire. When he was called home from work, she was hiding in some nearby bushes. She stabbed him in the stomach but fortunately in front of attending fire-fighters so he received first aid.
Until protective orders become fireproof, stabprooof, bulletproof, strangleproof, fistproof, etc., they'll continue to be a waste. When an individual decides to attack, a silly order on a piece of paper isn't going to deter them, or protect their victim.
That feeling of being alone in an abusive relationship is horrible. They make u feel like ur the crazy one. If it feels wrong…it is. Trust ur instincts! Get out asap while u can.
@@Tomboyy9818 for me I didn’t leave right away because I really loved him and I thought he would change. But I did leave him because I just couldn’t take it anymore. That was 9 years ago. I was just getting out of high school. Him and I lived together since I turned 15 and then I broke up with him and left him when I was almost 19. And I promised myself I wouldn’t ever get into another abusive relationship again and I haven’t.
Horrible parents that think their teens as young as they are should keep boyfriend/girlfriend relationships. Finish school first and then when grown and ready for marriage they can seek for life partner suitable for them through prayer. Today's parents are destroying our young teens pushing them out there in a vicious world when they are not ready for relationships.
There should be a class on healthy relationships. Not only abusive/bad relationships but how good relationships work too. So explain how the boyfriend is bad and how awesome the brother is. And why we need more relationships like the brother.
People,,,LOCK YOUR DOORS. Trust NO ONE! I’m so glad she survived this. Thank God her mom and brother were home. Shame in the justice system! It was definitely attempted murd€r!!!!
I'm so proud of her and her strength at such a young age. I wish that animal got life in prison honestly. But this just proves once again to me that kids have no business getting into romantic relationships and I hate that this has been so normalised now. There's already a risk when dating as adults because you never know if the person you're involved with might turn out to be a monster like this animal that attacked her. But how much more then kids who are at a vulnerable, mentally and emotionally unstable stage who are still figuring themselves out, don't know any better, don't know anything about spotting red flags and struggle with processing their emotions??! I really hope parents take more caution when it comes to their kids getting involved romantically with each other.
Strength? She's an airhead! What's wrong with you people? How exactly is she strong for choosing an antisocial asshole for a boyfriend? Maybe she thought guys with a conscience were boring. Typical cute young DITZ.
Some people have to smile or even laugh to not cry. It's very common for people who've been through trauma to smile or laugh while telling their stories.
I don't know why you would continue to leave a door unlocked after the first time. I would have made sure to lock all doors, windows, get a security system and cameras. If I were attacked once in my bedroom I'd want someone to check my room every night. I'm glad she's okay.
i got chills hearing "he was really mysterious. hard to figure out. like normally im really good at reading people but i couldnt figure him out" thats one of the reasons i fell in love with my narcissistic ex... if you ever get this feeling about someone, run... its not a good thing
I dated a Korean woman who I fell in love with …. Turns out she was a serial killer… Narcissistic cold hearted woman.. Thank you God for getting me out of that 3 year nightmare…
This chilling narrative serves as a stark reminder of how quickly a seemingly innocent teenage romance can escalate into a life-threatening situation, underscoring the importance of awareness and education about healthy relationships among young people. It's crucial for communities, schools, and families to engage in open conversations about the signs of unhealthy relationships and provide the tools and support needed to navigate them safely.
Please teach your daughters to value themselves and do not tolerate disrespect. The very First sign of aggression should be the end. Equally important to raise males to be respectful and responsible. Glad the brave brother stepped up. The justice system failed her completely.😢
Can we talk about normalising sectioning people after their first offence of abuse and stalking and then sending violent offenders to prison? Can we normalise punishing them rather than giving them free passes?

Proud of the brother for defending her!!! Yes, he accidentally hit her and I hope he doesn’t let that weigh too heavy on his heart. Because of him she’s alive!
I ended up in a similar situation with two guys attacking my bf on the ground. I was kicking them as much as I could but I know I missed 1-2 kicks and hit him instead. But it was me kicking that kept them from being able to punch him and eventually they had enough and stopped.

Most of them are like that it's okay. You'll figure out monogamy and marriage are for women.
that is how it is a lot of the time. cheaters and abusers will accuse YOU of cheating and abusing them, when they are really projecting exactly what they're doing onto you.

She breaks up with him because he cheats and not because he beats her? I assume it was because she thought he did something wrong by cheating but the beatings were her fault? We need to do better in teaching our kids (especially girls) to value themselves.
Mandatory assembly speakers about this from Jr high on up
It doesn’t say that he regularly beats her. That’s your reading in to this.
This
Or maybe it was just the one excuse she had been waiting for that he wouldn’t be able to blame on her.
@@luns486 I think it was more so for this reason. I know when I was with my ex, I had to wait until I had that 'smoking gun' reason to leave. I finally was able to leave, only to find out I was 2 almost 3 months pregnant. I had no idea! Although not together, that bought me an 18yr life sentence with him in my life still. Ugh.
How the hell did he have the attempted murder charges dropped?
The Judge also denied a protective order after he was first arrested for holding the knife to her throat. The judge should join him in prison as culpable and indirectly an assessory for attempted murder.
He's white. Stop acting surprised.
They routinely drop the charges regarding the woman. It’s sickening and infuriating.
I feel that the judge saw how young he was and decided to be lenient with him. He was given a long sentence, though? I feel that the fact he's locked away for decades is a bit of a win here. In my country, he probably would never see the inside of a prison. He'd be given a suspended sentence even if the victim spoke to the court about her experiences and how terrified she is of her attacker.
@@mtsflorida A protective order was not going to stop this guy from killing her. How he was not charged with attempted murder.
Coercive control and stalking. When will law enforcement take this seriously? His behaviour will just escalate.
And it did escalate. He attacked his former partner and intended to kill her.
Never!!
When victims take it seriously
And where did he learn it from?
They should have also told the police the first time that he looked in the windows,they didnt.When she says she didnt leave because she didnt know any better,that is so common and proof that prevention and recognizing red flags begins at home.Having survived a deadly attack by an ex ,myself,women and girls must be taught that this kind of control leads to abuse and that it certainly isnt love.
This poor girl probably has PTSD every time she opens a door now. I hope one day she's okay.
It never goes away but helping others with your survival helps.This I know all too well.Even when my ex was in prison,I would think I saw him in a crowd and call the prison.Time does not heal all wounds,it merely cushions the blow.But when you find out that you have the power to save others from the same fate,it makes it all count.
This was so avoidable.... all those red flags and she STILL continued to date him and invite all that danger into her family home. Omg !
@@rochellestarr9538 I'm so sorry all that happened to you :( I hope you're alright

It is rigged you right
@@nialeilakandeyes for the rich. Like Donald Trump who never had any accountability and now whines like a child. It's pathetic
@@bahrealoh please Trumps charges are all bs and everyone knows it! Kinda funny they charge Trump with having classified documents but yet Biden was found with the same exact thing but yet in your eyes it’s different for some reason! And some woman 20 years later comes out and accuses him of rape with zero evidence at all but he gets convicted by shady liberal judges! The woman was trying to sell her book ! You libs are the biggest bunch of hypocrites on planet earth! Hopefully one day it’s not your family member who gets convicted of a crime all on an accusation! Smh how ignorant you all sound! Trump 2024 and when it happens I can’t wait to rub it in you alls faces! 😅
I can’t believe that the attempted murder charge didn’t stick, too. That is so upsetting. I guess it’s because we have a judicial system and not a justice system. 🤬
I'm so happy that she survived! How on earth could that have been anything but Attempted Murder?
The system sucks! This girl will have to be on her guard for the remainder of her life with that wacko out there.
That wacko, for sure, is going to kill a young lady in the future, and it'll be the justice system's fault!
Especially considering he said he was going to kill her omg!
@@cynthiaconnors183 I swear the courts just don't care if your life is ruined. I mean she was almost kiIIed and now she has to look over her shoulder for the remainder of her life? No skin off the judge's nose!
It definitely should have been attempted murder, but I'm shocked that he got a mandatory 29 years (up to 60 years) for the lesson charges. In the state of Washington a guy got 26 years for first-degree premeditated murder - in a plea deal with an iron clad case - and that her mother strongly opposed and WANTED to go to trial! (Kassandra's Secret on 48 Hours.) Talk about a miscarriage of justice!
It's astonishing how drastically sentences can vary from state to state, especially when plea deals are involved - and Washington DAs are afraid to go to trial in a lot of cases for some reason. It makes no sense.
Brother of the year award goes to Kiely!
My first husband, which not many people even know about bc I don’t mention him, was a control freak. We stayed married only six to nine months. Before we married he was great. After we married, and I mean right after, like our honeymoon he changed into the control freak monster he really was. He cheated, did drugs, slapped me around. It was insane. He did a complete one eighty after we married. I left one morning like I was going to work (which I worked at the same place his mother did) and went to my mother’s house, called my dad and went back over for my things. I had a restraining order and he still would call me! Finally after two years of total hell, he left me alone. He scared me. One time I went to his mother after he slapped me around hoping she would talk to him and take my side and she said to me “ well, you must have done something wrong for him to hit you.” And that is a direct quote. I couldn’t believe it! I feel lucky to have gotten out when I did. He threatened my life, pulled a weapon on me twice, and constantly talked down to me. I don’t get people like him. I’m glad this young lady got out with her life. But I fear like she does that it’s not over. Scary.
❤️💜💚
I’m so sorry for all the pain, fear and horrific experiences that you endured. 🙏🏾 I’m so grateful that you made it out alive and lived to share your story, as you can help a lot of young women by sharing it. It’s so disgusting that his Mother blamed you. 🤦🏾♀️ No wonder he turned out the way he did. There were never any consequences and everything was always “someone else’s fault.” Son or not, right is right and wrong is wrong. It makes me sick to know that as soon as you married, he thought he “owned you,” and looked at you as property. But that’s how they do it. They can only keep up the facade for so long. Again, I’m so sorry dear. I’m proud of you!! 👏🏽 🙌🏾 So proud of you! I know how hard it is to make and execute an escape plan. Thank you for sharing your story, Sis! May God keep and bless you and your family! 🙏🏾 ❤🤗🥰

"Adam beats the attempted murder rap." < Sigh. Why do some justice systems continue to fail us. From protecting bad/racist cops to sentences which are experienced as like light slaps on the wrists of heinous perps, we may need to re-establish sentences which accurately fit the crimes.
I heard that and said WOW 🤦🏾♀️ maybe he’s one of those….”he’s not a bad guy” 🙄
Adam managed to beat the attempted murder rap, but he got to be put away for decades in prison... Still, I feel that what he did was attempted murder and that should have been taken into consideration here as well.
There’s overwhelming evidence suggesting cops do NOT target minorities. Don’t be a lemming and start thinking for yourself. Be better.
Racist cops like Michael Byrd should be held accountable, l agree
@@casewojo6186actually that's wrong, it's the other way around. Don't be an enabler of racism.
How in the WORLD did he escape attempted murder!!!! 😮 LIKE WHAAATTTTT!!!??
Adam is a perfect example of fragile ego and insecurity leads to.
As a single dad for two teenage girls, it enrages me when sociopaths like this are never held accountable in any meaningful way. The cops are doing everything they can!! The courts need to step up and support law enforcement!!!
The courts are moneymakers. Majority of cases are settled out of court, like a whirling revolving door. The court system is heavily rigged...
thats not a sociopath dude thats a psychopath, learn the difference

She is so unbelievably lucky to have survived. My husband niece did not. She was only a junior in high school. I don't and will not understand how the justice system believes that a piece of paper is going to keep the victims safe.

You're right Chris.Thank you for agreeing too. Few people can see that real truth like you too.@@TheChrislewis1989
Thank you for agreeing Chris. I appreciate your support@@TheChrislewis1989
You sometimes don't know...I had a boyfriend back in my 20s. Visited his family, went on dates, stayed at each others homes and it was great. I started getting threatening calls, some disgusting stuff being done over the phone for about 4 months not knowing who it was. One evening I was at his parent's house with him, while his parent's were away, we were house sitting. He was acting weird. We tucked into bed for the night and that's when he tried to stranle me. I got free, grabbed my bag and RAN LIKE HELL out the front door. Hiding here and there till I got to a store and ran behind the counter telling the cashier to call a taxi for me. I called police once i got home and barricaded myself in my home. Police got him. Not all who get into these situations have red flags or abuse until the perpetrator seriously loses it. Oh, those creepy calls were actually him. Police discovered he was also stalking me while in a relationship with me. 30 years later, I still look over my shoulder. I hope the victim in this story can find peace someday. I unfortunately haven't.
why did you wait to call police , also goin home seems dangerous since he prob knew where you lived.
What an awful experience. How terrible to think that you are with someone who loves you just to find out that they want to destroy you. Glad you are ok.
I am so very sorry that this happened to you!!!😢
I keep saying it: Some people don't want a partner. They want a victim.
how the hell does he stab her and attempt to set her on fire but escape from attempted murder? The jury needs to give their heads a shake because when this twit gets out, he may just try it again.
Most certainly
How in Gods name did he get the attempted muder charge dropped!?? 🤮
My psychotic ex had the same blue eyes.when he got angry it was as if they turned black,like he was actually possessed or something.he went to prison for 21 years,he found me the week he could leave his halfway house after calling my phone 367 times,i don't even know how he got my number.Luckily i had people to protect me and he ended up doing some fentanyl and dying not too long after,so the trash took itself out in my situation.So if she is smart ,she would just go ahead and change her name now,which i realize as a teenager,to completely delete your social media,it's like dying,but i promise you it's better to do it now,because he will find you when he gets out.
Has to be tough on the younger brother knowing that Sophia's main injury was from him hitting her with the bat.
Idk man if it wasn't for him she wouldn't have an injury to complain about...... They'd probably be burying her
I’m a guy and dated a guy just as psycho as him. He hit me the first night when I asked him to be my BF. He started stalking me and wanted to know everything I was doing at all times. Really amazes me how I let it go on for 2 weeks. Glad it was ok after.
Who leaves a door unlocked in your house when you’ve had someone threatened to kill you?
You nailed it with this comment.
People may accuse you of victim blaming, but stand your ground. It wasn't her fault sure, but a dumb move is a dumb move.
A phlegmatic masochist? 😆 I would't be suprised if she annoyed him by making suggestive threats... Not to say what he did was ok, but she knew him - and still put herself at risk!
They were all home with other teens in the house, probably going in & out. Hard to keep up with locking all the time. As well as, he had an RO.
Question is, Who tries to murder their girlfriend after he cheated and beat her? The blame is solely on him.
@@merilaescobarAbsolutely the blames is all on him. But my door always remain locked regardless of how many times we go in an out, especially with a crazy guy on the loose. It’s unfortunately the world we live in.🤷🏻♀️
This pissed me off ! How did he beat attempted murder????? Why else did he bring the gas and the knife he didn’t even hesitate to stab her !
If you are going to allow your fourteen year old CHILD to date, the very LEAST you can do is educate her/him on warning signs of a bad/abusive relationship. And reiterate to them that they can talk to you.
💯
Mom said he's got an innocent face, but he's the very image of an ex of mine who was evil incarnate.
I would bet her mom wanted to have him as well. Stupid family simply and clear but I am glad Adam in jail hopefully he will have a hard time there that will affect his mental and emotional state; no one will miss him
Thats what he says about you. Go figure
Well I suppose your ex had an innocent enough face initially, enough, for you to want to date them.
fr, he looks like the white version of my abusive ex bf
Any man or woman who is being abused should NOT let their abuser win. You can't change anyone, You can't help them. They will continue to abuse you or whoever they are in a relationship with.
This, before people call you a victim blamer.
@@geminiseason6901you are victim blaming. The fact that y'all have to worry about that says everything about y'all I need to know. I'm not even liberal or conservative. I just have common sense and human decency. No one allows things to happen. Teahers at her school knew there was something wrong with him. The mom tried to get away from her the best she could. He ended up being on probation for 4 or six months. They were trying everything short of putting over in a locked tower. Good god.
One of the most ridiculous parts of these types of stories with these psycho dudes is that they dictate every bit of their girlfriend's lives and they're always terrified that their gf is going to cheat on them, but they are always the one who is cheating anyway. As a man I cannot stand anyone who puts their hands on women with the intent to do bodily harm. You don't love anything except yourself you psycho.. these are the types of guys-people I would love to get him locked in a room with me for 10 minutes of what will be pure hell for him now..Give him a taste of his own medicine.
Sophia was so strong for standing up in court and making him hear her piece. And she's super smart because well she shouldn't ever have to change her name and move out of state undetected.. The sad truth is these women usually always have to.
Also you could tell her brother still to this day just feels awful about hitting his sister with that bat. Even if he is the one that saved her. His head was down and he looked ashamed. And he definitely shouldn't be. Hopefully he knows he's a great brother and a true hero.
@@KatherineLaura6564what? Of course they want to be abusers. Otherwise, they wouldnt abuse anyone. They do the vile things they do, because they WANT their victim to hurt. They want to inflict pain because they believe the victim deserves it. They don't need help, because the help won't change them. It's their personality, that will never change.
Some people confuse true mental health conditions, with personality/character flaws. These arent cases of a simple lapse in judgement, where they are going through something and snap. Or a case where a person is truly not well mentally, dealing with a condition like schizophrenia. Or having a psychotic break. Which are all things that require and can have success, in helping a person through.
However, cases like what's described in the op comment, or in the video. These types of people don't need help, and no amount of help, will change them. These are the type of people who need to be kept away from society, or at the very least, have a close eye kept on them, keeping away from the vulnerable.
My English is not the best, so I may not be explaining things very well. I apologize for that. Basically, what I am trying to say, is that yes, there are cases where prison is not the answer, with mental health treatment being the better route. However. The majority of cases are not like this, with instead of it being a mental health concern. It's a character/personality issue, which can not be fixed. Ever. With prison being the better option.
@@KatherineLaura6564 you're telling on yourself

Bright and "strong"?! She's an airhead. Young and really cute, but a fucking airhead.
After he was arrested and given 4 yrs probation why would you not make sure every door and window was locked at your home??!! For him to get into their house because he knew about a door always being unlocked is wrong! As a mom I would’ve made sure every door and window was locked and I’d get alarm system installed!!!

Nothing like blaming the victim.
@@kathleenp9643 well they weren't wrong. And it's not really blaming them.
That's exactly what I thought.
Why are their so many weak men out there who cannot handle a women breaking their heart. I got dumped abruptly when I was 22 by a girl I adored. In the moment when it was happening I was crushed and confused, I tried to reason with her asking for another chance/what I did wrong but it was obvious her mind was made. You know how I handled it....I walked out her house calmly and drove home, felt kinda crummy for a couple weeks and never talked to her again. Why flip out? Why hurt her? People can do whatever they want and be with whoever they want and you just have to accept that. The few weaklings who live by the code if I cant have you nobody can are some of the most dangerous people on earth.
It's not weakness. It's control.

Along with everything he did to that poor girl, he had to be REALLY INSANE to set HIMSELF on fire! 😮🤯
He said he did that part on accident. It was just just messy
Chris pretty much just said that she was so pretty that her mom actually cared about her 😂😂
Then, she goes on to describe activity any parent should have noticed but her parents were clueless.
So...he punched her in the face all the time? How's her mom not notice bruises? Great job mom🤦♀️
I thought the same thing
We females who have been bruised up, know all the good excuses to give for injuries. We can be great actors as well :(
She could have covered it with make up
I think that is a bit harsh to blame the mother....bruises can be covered quite easily.
Another form of victim blaming which is so typical of human beings!!!
@@davidowen5135the internet 100000% of the time blames women for men's bad choices.

Damn right, Sis! 👏🏽 We absolutely should teach our children self defense. The world is full of evil and it’s only going to get worse. Teaching our children to fight and defend themselves, also teaches them how valuable they are. So many people fall victim to these predators bc they don’t value themselves, lack self esteem, etc. Id like your comment a thousand times if I could, Miss KatieAnn! I might also add that although people like to say that firearms aren’t necessary, I disagree, completely! Teaching our children proper firearm safety skills, through proper training, can save lives as well. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, dear. May God keep and bless you and your family! 🙏🏾 ❤
So, someone’s stalking your daughter and you leave a door unlocked….wtf? Also, did judge order he undergo counseling or treatment, or did everyone/his parents think this w just go away?
I don’t mean to berate the victims, but wonder if more proactive management might have given a different result.
I had to move out of the contingent USA basically overnight to get away from my psycho abusive ex. In less than a year after I left, he had already killed my 2 cats I'd had for over a decade that I was about to be able to bring over with me into the country. Another year after that he murdered the lady who'd let him live in the addition on the side of her house. She told me once that the addition used to belong to her only child, a daughter she said was killed a couple years prior. Then she, herself, is killed a few years later by my accursed ex, and then he set the house on fire. If I hadn't gotten away, it would've been me.
RIP to my fur baby angels, Ali Cat & Precious Kitty. ❤ Always.

WHAAAAT?? They ALWAYS drop the charges about the assault on the woman. What the f’king FUK??
Yes they do - whatever makes it easier for the prosecution and gives them a win in court, whether the charge is appropriate or not.
How did he beat the attempted murder charge? RIDICULOUS!!
Parents, you have to be mindful with allowing your young daughters to be in relationships. This type of behavior is happening far too often, ending with death for most. I’m a school employee and Ive seen too many abusive situations. One of my students was killed by her boyfriend when she ended it. Even had a restraining order on him, and it didn’t matter.
What? Are you suggesting to not allow your daughter to date? And no, most dating relationships to not end in death. I am a school employee as well, and very few students have ever talked about being abused by their boy/girl friend.. Sure it happens, but don't act like it is the norm.
It's the quiet ones you gotta be afraid of...
He had crazy drug user and abuser eyes.

I'm 24 and although I live in another city and work in construction, my Mom makes me send her my credit card statements because she doesn't want me to buy useless things and my Internet is monitored, I can't even have Netflix. I'm from a Korean family. She controls a lot of my life, unfortunately, and as the oldest I have to look after her. I have told her she's kind of interfering, but I agree that parents need to really talk to their adult and minor children about the dangers of the Internet, teens getting into their friends' cars as there can be distractions while driving, meeting people in person, leaving your drinks alone opening a window for someone to spike them, not honking your car horn, saying thank you when someone hodor for you, etc. Yes, there have been lives taken because the suspects didn't receive a thank you!
I have a niece and I couldn't believe I acted like my Mom when I found out she had a lot of social media accounts and 'friends.' No 13 year old has 1200+ followers on Instagram and Facebook.
You know, a Mother’s love is so deep and so strong, that you’ll do anything to keep your children safe. Even our adult children. To be fair, the prefrontal cortex isn’t fully developed until the mid to late twenties. So, we must continue to look out for and protect y’all, even now. Your Mother sounds like an incredibly loving woman. Although sometimes it doesn’t feel that way, it’s all out of love. I’m glad to hear that you had that experience, feeling like your Mom, when it came to your Niece, bc now you truly understand that love is correction. Thanks for sharing this, swallowedinthesea11! 🙏🏾 ❤All my love, Auntie Sherita 🤗
One of my brother's close friends experienced the same. He separated from his 50 something year old partner. His housemates thought she was returning/picking up some belongings. She lit his bed on fire. When he was called home from work, she was hiding in some nearby bushes. She stabbed him in the stomach but fortunately in front of attending fire-fighters so he received first aid.
How did the mother of the 14 year old girl not see bruises on her? Seems like she would have noticed that something wasn’t right
Until protective orders become fireproof, stabprooof, bulletproof, strangleproof, fistproof, etc., they'll continue to be a waste. When an individual decides to attack, a silly order on a piece of paper isn't going to deter them, or protect their victim.
That's right it doesn't stop the person but it does give a record for the police. It's very sad that people have to live in fear!
It also just pisses the abuser off, and gives them more reason to cause harm (restraining orders).
That feeling of being alone in an abusive relationship is horrible. They make u feel like ur the crazy one. If it feels wrong…it is. Trust ur instincts! Get out asap while u can.
That’s terrible 😢 I went through the same thing. 4 yrs I glad she made it out alive
I just don’t get it. Why wait 4 or more years to leave someone? Especially if they’re abusive
@@Tomboyy9818 for me I didn’t leave right away because I really loved him and I thought he would change. But I did leave him because I just couldn’t take it anymore. That was 9 years ago. I was just getting out of high school. Him and I lived together since I turned 15 and then I broke up with him and left him when I was almost 19. And I promised myself I wouldn’t ever get into another abusive relationship again and I haven’t.

Yes parents so considerate and caring they continued to leave a door unlocked knowing that someone tried hurting their daughter...🤡🤡🤡🤡💩💩💩💩
Trauma Bond is real and she was so young. Thank goodness she’s okay.
Apartment or house which had the family been living in? Script needs to be consistent.
Horrible parents that think their teens as young as they are should keep boyfriend/girlfriend relationships. Finish school first and then when grown and ready for marriage they can seek for life partner suitable for them through prayer. Today's parents are destroying our young teens pushing them out there in a vicious world when they are not ready for relationships.
There should be a class on healthy relationships. Not only abusive/bad relationships but how good relationships work too. So explain how the boyfriend is bad and how awesome the brother is. And why we need more relationships like the brother.
I agree!! I’m from California and my high school I graduated from had classes about healthy relationships!

She’s probably numb from the trauma .. that happens often especially when you relive it so many times
Same damn thing I said
She's probably sick of the media and being interviewed.
People,,,LOCK YOUR DOORS. Trust NO ONE! I’m so glad she survived this. Thank God her mom and brother were home. Shame in the justice system! It was definitely attempted murd€r!!!!
I'm so proud of her and her strength at such a young age. I wish that animal got life in prison honestly. But this just proves once again to me that kids have no business getting into romantic relationships and I hate that this has been so normalised now. There's already a risk when dating as adults because you never know if the person you're involved with might turn out to be a monster like this animal that attacked her. But how much more then kids who are at a vulnerable, mentally and emotionally unstable stage who are still figuring themselves out, don't know any better, don't know anything about spotting red flags and struggle with processing their emotions??! I really hope parents take more caution when it comes to their kids getting involved romantically with each other.
Strength? She's an airhead! What's wrong with you people? How exactly is she strong for choosing an antisocial asshole for a boyfriend?
Maybe she thought guys with a conscience were boring. Typical cute young DITZ.
The teenager girl is never going to trust a man. 😢
He tried to lill her and he wasn't charged with attempted murder?
How the hell was Adamn NOT convicted of attempted murder?! Geezus!
Im sorry when are gonna the cops take this stuff more seriously
I think it's more so the law than it is the police themselves.
Smiling the whole time she recounts this horrible event...
Some people have to smile or even laugh to not cry. It's very common for people who've been through trauma to smile or laugh while telling their stories.
I don't know why you would continue to leave a door unlocked after the first time. I would have made sure to lock all doors, windows, get a security system and cameras. If I were attacked once in my bedroom I'd want someone to check my room every night. I'm glad she's okay.
The brother was so brave and helpful. Sophia is amazing and a very strong young woman.
i got chills hearing "he was really mysterious. hard to figure out. like normally im really good at reading people but i couldnt figure him out" thats one of the reasons i fell in love with my narcissistic ex... if you ever get this feeling about someone, run... its not a good thing
I dated a Korean woman who I fell in love with …. Turns out she was a serial killer… Narcissistic cold hearted woman.. Thank you God for getting me out of that 3 year nightmare…
How the hell did he avoid an attempted murder conviction?!?!?!
14 yrs old is way too young to be talking about a "first love".
This chilling narrative serves as a stark reminder of how quickly a seemingly innocent teenage romance can escalate into a life-threatening situation, underscoring the importance of awareness and education about healthy relationships among young people. It's crucial for communities, schools, and families to engage in open conversations about the signs of unhealthy relationships and provide the tools and support needed to navigate them safely.
Please teach your daughters to value themselves and do not tolerate disrespect. The very First sign of aggression should be the end. Equally important to raise males to be respectful and responsible. Glad the brave brother stepped up. The justice system failed her completely.😢
"He used to do things like punch me in the face *list continues*"...😳
You got a lunatic on your hands and you still leave the door unlocked. Smart thinking.
Starting in junior high school there should be a class about domestic violence going as far as college
Erin's Law taught in public school is expanding to include domestic violence. It's K-12 grades using age appropriate materials.
4 yrs probabtion? What was that judge thinking?
Wow I'm from Richmond Ca.
So crazy hearing my county & city. This is absolutely heartbreaking
Can we talk about normalising sectioning people after their first offence of abuse and stalking and then sending violent offenders to prison? Can we normalise punishing them rather than giving them free passes?
I am so impressed by how this young lady could talk about what happened to her without fear. This girl is going to change the world for the better...
These people with unlocked doors!🙄
