Yeah, parents usually blame themselves.

This woman is a decent balance of logic and emotion. She still loves her child (or least the child he use to be), and wants to get him help. However she is logical enough to know that he is a danger and that she isnt capable of managing the situation but was aware the least she could do is get him in a controlled environment where he cant hurt anyone and to keep her children and other children safe. Most mothers are in denial when their sons are predators, or worst case even enable their sons, meanwhile some others who are aware their sons are predators just kick them out but dont keep them under any supervision therefore letting a monster in the making roam freely to hurt other people. She took the right steps to get him away from the rest of the family and into a space where he cant hurt anyone else until he isnt a danger anymore. Although its unclear when or if that day will ever come.

This woman is terrible. She has her own youtube channel where she gives her unprofessional psychological opinion on matters that are beyond her comprehension and continues to exploit her son for views. I get a very weird vibe from this whole situation. I think the most likely scenario was that he was abused when he was younger and started acting out, including perpetuating sexual acts with other children. I have no doubt that the most attention he has ever had from his family happened after they found out what was happening. It seems like he received more shame than he did help and he has now settled into that identity.

This family in particular has to take care of themselves and their other kids and there's a pandemic, so maybe it's out of a sort of necessity. I'm not going to take the time to find these "unprofessional psychological opinions." All I see is updates on the matter because people are curious.

So is trying to use your relevance to prop yourself up as an authority. The advice she is giving is not based on sound psychology, nor is she suggesting that professionals gave her this advice, it's based on "gut."

He also said he was into sadomasochism, which is basically sexual arousal from committing violent acts. It’s amazing how people who commit the most minor offenses are jailed for years yet at the same time they are coddling the next Ted Bundy.

These parents are so courageous..
