Thankfully someone who actually saw something and said something. Can’t count how many times I watch a true crime story of a murd3r where the neighbors heard screaming and gunshots but didn’t call 911. Recently heard one where this girls crazy stalker ex broke in and attacked her for over 20 min meanwhile her male roommate heard it happening, left the house and went and politely knocked on the neighbors door at 2am to call the cops. And it took the cops forever to get there. He had injected her with a f@tal dose of nicotine, ass@lted her, and threw her off the balcony, then immediately went on a Tinder chat spree and setup a date the next day with some chic - whom he was with when arrested for the first girls murd3r! I’m sure she felt more secure having a male roommate and dude didn’t even use his own phone to call 911- he stood at the bottom of the staircase “listening” to her being attacked, then ran away, and didn’t fervently try to get help immediately. Pretty sure they had a house phone too. I’m not expecting him to rush in and try and save her himself but wtf man, get your phone and THEN leave if you have time to stand there for “minutes” listening to her being beaten choked and who knows what else. I hope if I’m ever in that situation, someone cares enough about me to get me help before I d1e.

The builder did not fail him, or his sister, and the judge no doubt has guide lines as to the length of sentence's he can give for any given crime.

My son went through something similar with his mom (and her numerous boyfriends) for a couple years. She used the same reasoning as in he was destructive and dangerous so he stayed in a locked room in the basement (was going to say minus the toilet, but he did share stories where he had to pee in a bottle because he couldnt get out of the room at night). He does have ADHD and ODD, which does make him difficult to people who are not patient. Agreed that the treatment just makes it worse (he ended up finding other friends who were not good influences and he started to get in trouble with the law, mostly mischief and vandalism). I was able to get him to move in with me. No issues or rational to have him "locked up". We even responsibly dealt with the legal consequences that he had incurred while living in the same city as his mom and worked things out with the courts, so everything was all settled and he complied with all the work they recommended (mostly paperwork and apologies while showing progress being made in school due to the fact that part of the concerns on the police reports were "household conflict" and since he now lives with me they believed he was in a better environment). Its been a year and there has not had a single issue with school, no issues with the law, and no concerning issues. He has made healthy friends and has a much better progress in his behaviour. He is difficult with ADHD before his medications take effect, but he is manageable, feels that he is loved and seems to be the happiest has has been in his life. It takes time, patience, empathy, and sometimes thinking outside of the box to handle difficult children. You also have to set a more solid example as a parent otherwise they don't have anyone to look up to when they feel lost.

Wow judging by the updates I’d say the system totally failed that boy. Trauma is so hard on you sometimes. That’s insane

As a resident of Palm Beach, Florida, I followed this case. Excellent reporting!

Honestly, it is so refreshing to see that police were actually proactive here and actually heeded warnings. I am so glad that the builder notified police too and didn't just keep it to himself. He easily could've never said a word, and police easily could've just dismissed his concerns and not looked into it. So respects to both the builder and the police here. I hope we honestly see more cases where a proactive police approach is successful. It can get a bit demoralizing hearing story after story where police failed to be proactive and ignored all signs. I'd love to see the opposite, like in this case, but one where police actually succeed in being proactive.

I could never imagine being a lawyer for a child abuse.r and having to defend them in court. I mean I know it's their job but still....

They are both so smug and seem like they are above everyone. I’m thankful the police took this seriously. I hope this young man gets the help he needs to move forward.

As a old man that knows what terror of a parent as a young man. I can only pray these two parents get to know the same terror they put this young man threw. Hope prison and there “peers” scares them to the core. Adopt a person only to destroy his life

Gut wrenching. If you’ve got a teen who has behavioural issues, get them help. These people could afford to custom build a prison in their home, they could afford therapy. Their decision says it all.

Solid props to the police who didn’t give up and to the builder who made the call. Too often the police give up because they either can’t find anything wrong or don’t care to. Also, I have kids around the same age and it absolutely breaks my heart there is shitty “parents” out there like this. I hope that young man and his siblings end up in a good place with rockstar parents who would go to the end of the world to make them happy, just like they deserve.

How on earth could they POSSIBLY think thats okay to do to a kid?? Not only is is just generally horrific and inhumane, but if there was a fire, he wouldnt even have the chance to escape because he can't even leave the room! So thankful the kid is as okay as can be expected and that the builder said something to the police

Note to self: When building a secret dungeon, either build it yourself or silence the builder. Also note to self: When making a false missing person's report, don't be stupid enough to think the police won't search your home and notice your obvious secret dungeon.

Makes me wonder how many “home schooled kids” are going through something like this. Nothing against homeschooling, but it does provide an opportunity for some bad parents to hide abusive behavior. The Turpin family, for example. I’m kind of surprised these parents let their kid go to public school honestly. Their behavior is pretty baffling.

I would have gotten all my siblings to help escape with my brother...and go tell schools and cops IMMEDIATELY! But these poor siblings were so afraid of adopted parents that they didnt get help for their brother. ALL these kids need rescued!

Intimidating to the children was the prison room rather than presence of police officers. They should never be allowed to parent a child. This is pure evil.

Given the facts of the case, they knew what they were doing was wrong.

Why on earth would people adopt children if they won't take the responsibility of giving these kids the love and support they need? Had they noticed the kid showing behavioral issues, it is part of their responsibility as adoptive parents to provide him with the help he actually needed. A lot of these children are acting out because of past trauma, abuse, and instability. It's more of a cry of help, and people who want to adopt should know this. What they did to this boy is just added trauma to him and it's heartbreaking.

They would have been told. My parents got a full rundown of my foster-to-adopted siblings medical history, abuse history, and mental health/behavioral problems. They also offer lots of free therapy and activities for their entire childhood.

What a disgusting, deplorable, horrible and inhuman bullies! If they didn’t want the child they should have given him to the system so someone who really wanted to be parents could have loved him. This is beyond sickness and it makes me so mad when evil people like this go over seas to adopt children and then mistreat them. The law should be tougher and this people need to be screened better before they are given children.

I always thought that when a child went missing that the police would search the home. When they were first reported missing.

He should’ve received 10 years minimum! What a slap on the wrist. If our courts can’t protect those most vulnerable in society then who will? Hopefully some vigilante justice is served in prison, where they don’t look fondly at child abusers!

They lost custody of all four children, so a HUGE win for the kids and for judtice, dont adopt if you cant handle said kids or kids, and certainly not if your only method of "dealing" with them is abusive, like locking them away, put them in foster care or find a relative who CAN handle tbem better and give them the chance to actually live, dont hold onto them and "punish" the child or children for being difficult by locking them up or any other kind of abuse, simply because you "had no other options" which in itself is beyond stupid, glad those two monsters got what they deserved, which was nothing and jail
