The Twilight Killers

My non-expert opinion is that it depends - on the specific details of each case and on the individual children (their motivations, upbringings, milieus, trauma, mental health issues, etc.). It's difficult to make a blanket statement when it comes to children. What blows me away though, is that statistics show that rapists and child molesters are highly likely to re-offend, yet they are so often released after just a short time.

2022-11-09 10:17:26 +0000 UTCThis was a very sad time for my granddaughter as the lady that was so cruelly murdered was her dinner lady. To say that Spalding was in shock would be an understatement! Thank you for covering that story Mike. I love ya too ❤️ xx

2022-08-10 23:42:55 +0000 UTCHaha can relate (noise cancelling headphones are bomb but Mike often scares the shite out of me 😂)

2022-08-10 23:41:48 +0000 UTCRight? I could watch and listen to Mike doing anything haha. He’s just got something about him! Oh yeah, he’s hilarious, cute and that accent, aahh! What a legend Mike!

2022-08-10 23:35:25 +0000 UTCMan that was rough. The way they both stated so matter of fact what happened, and not an ounce of remorse… geeezzzz. Raising my only child (after her father decided being a husband and a dad wasn’t his thing just after she turned 1 (fertility treatment baby too!)) That’ll teach me marrying a 22 year old when i was 27 🤣🤣🤣 But i do laugh now he’s 45 with a 1 and 3 year old hehe….. karma….. Times were tough when we hit the teenage years, but, ya know; i’m glad her and her (then) very controlling girlfriend didn’t stab me in my sleep!! She’s just turned 19 and we couldn’t be closer! She’s grown into a stunning, kind young lady, who looks after her old mamma while my 2nd hubby works away for 2 weeks at a time. Cooks every night, cleans and helps me. And she has a divine. boyfriend who loves me and is so kind and respectful! 🙏🏻 Hallelujah! Poor Liz & Katie 😢 May they rest peacefully 🕊🕊🕊 That was a lovely ending Mike, i love ya too! Girl fanning from Australia 🇦🇺 ♥️😘😛

2022-08-10 23:22:29 +0000 UTCThanks for the comment, Rhonda. I looked it up in order to answer you. In my country (Portugal, not the UK. Lol), between 12 and 16 you can't be tried as an adult, and, if the judge agrees that a crime was commited, there are a variety of punishment measures, from the simple admonishment to the internment in an educational center. But my understanding is that minors of 16 and above are sent to adult prisons (I'm not completely sure of this, because that wasn't specifically mentioned in any of the sites I looked - serious, governmental sites). Take care.

2022-08-08 01:05:32 +0000 UTCNot sure how things work in the UK, but in the US in most states, if a minor is tried as an adult, they are still imprisoned either in a juvenile prison until they turn 18.

2022-08-07 13:21:20 +0000 UTCThese kids chose to kill their family instead of removing themselves from their miserable life. They deserve life behind bars.

2022-08-05 09:21:00 +0000 UTCcaptial punishment is not ok. Some ppl need to be studyied so this can be stopped. We need to keep these ppl on watch. Learn something. Then we can figure out how someone can mess up their life before they can vote. This is what I would like to see done. Mentally ill? Probally. Ward him, and just keep asking him questions until they die. BSU 4 ever.

Dominique Bennett -Tripp
2022-08-04 14:35:16 +0000 UTCIt’s too risky for society to release these killers. What is the benefit in doing so? Cost for keeping them in prison? Trying to give these killers a chance at a nice future? Why?

2022-08-03 04:32:25 +0000 UTCThat blue becomes you so perfectly! It goes really nice with your skin tone and the colour of your hair! As to these two children... I don't know. I truly hope they can outgrow their anger and malice. I'd like to know if they are imprisoned with general population - I believe they are, since they were tried as adults. I foresee lots of abuse for both of them in prison - not the best way to reform...
Paula Bernardes-Silva
2022-08-03 01:20:41 +0000 UTCI did too! But explain to me, please, what you mean by "the visual equivalent of a 'gob'".

Capt. Rick Allen
2022-08-03 00:41:52 +0000 UTCFantastic video as always thanks Mike. What a horrible pair of little evil f&@kers. You would think the kicked a candle over instead of brutally murdering a mother and child💔😢
Marie McCreadie
2022-08-02 23:13:41 +0000 UTCHorrible. But well told, Mike. I guess there's always hope that kids that young could be reformed. But i don't know as it's possible. Not when someone that young is capable of such extreme violence. It's so sad.

2022-08-02 23:10:40 +0000 UTCNice Henley.

2022-08-02 21:40:24 +0000 UTCI did too!!!! But I have been wondering bc the context didn’t seem right. Thanks for clearing that up!

2022-08-02 20:38:30 +0000 UTCMoved by the Nightmare at Twilight Monsters are born, Monsters are made, The scariest ones are both born and made. What scares me about These Monsters is their age. I definitely believe Their stars were crossed from the start, Given their backgrounds and histories. You have to sow hope if you want to see kindness. Sewing only hate causes moral blindness. The gift which keeps on giving is Generational Violence.

2022-08-02 19:18:36 +0000 UTCI NEVER knew a “goo” was the visual equivalent of a “gob!” I thought it was “Give it a Go” with an extra O for the last 4 years!

2022-08-02 18:17:08 +0000 UTCI don’t know what you did different from all the other videos. Or maybe I did something. But the whole time it was like you were popping out of the screen. 😂 gotta love that 8k

2022-08-02 16:37:21 +0000 UTCSame here. That door sound gave me goosebumps!
Christie Scott
2022-08-02 08:06:21 +0000 UTCThis is the best $3 I’ve spent in quite some time. Far out I love Mike’s videos. His storytelling skills are second to none, and the editing is amazing. Has also as kinda baffled me how he manages to do such thorough research for each video

2022-08-02 06:01:59 +0000 UTCThis is so sad in so many ways. Reform - don’t really know if it’s possible - that’s granular and I think stays with a child. Love the new blue :)
Shirley Agajanian
2022-08-02 05:11:18 +0000 UTCHadn't heard of this one before. Great work as always. Although I freaking jumped out of my skin at the "cops breaking down the door" sound effect. Serves me right for wearing headphones and being hyper-focused on the story, I guess. XD

2022-08-01 23:45:21 +0000 UTCLook at you, in your summer shirt! As to these two sociopath kids: 17 years? They could be out at roughly age 30? What if they (gag) REPRODUCE?

2022-08-01 22:35:16 +0000 UTCFirst of all, love the new henley. You look great in blue. About the brats, you can't insert, upload or force feed emotions. If one is born without them one will never have them.

Michelle Kaylan
2022-08-01 22:31:09 +0000 UTCThe part at the end reminded me of that guy Eric Smith who was recently released. He murdered a 4 year old at 13. Hard to see if he is reformed or not, but I don't think he's been back in the news yet. Only time will tell. 🤷

Steve Brown
2022-08-01 21:14:37 +0000 UTCAbsolutely bat shit crazy… seriously the amount of child killers or just plain shit kids these days is really high compared to Mary Bell days!!! And we can’t keep blaming video games!!! Also Mike… please consider looking into Kathleen Knight… I think you are the only one of the true crime people who could do this story and at least make us smile at times!!! She is the only woman in Australia on a whole life sentence!!! Why don’t you give it a goooo. If for no other reason than to shut me up!!

April Hughes
2022-08-01 20:14:07 +0000 UTCThey were both at a very transformative age: they know right from wrong; but still need to be taught that every action has consequences. (Raising kids is hard! Im just aiming for my kids to not want to kill me or anyone.) BTW the blue Henley was a good choice.
Carrie Swank
2022-08-01 19:50:18 +0000 UTCThose kids were not “normal” to begin with, before murdering. No way will 17 or more years locked up in a restricted environment with other criminals perform miracles to change them into functional adults in “normal” society. This coming from one who usually sees the best in people. Prison cannot instill emotions and morals into people devoid of those things. I don’t think so, anyhow. Geez, I had similar teenage issues (no violence or suicidal ideation) with my mum at 14-17 but it never entered my mind that killing her would be a way to solve my problems. Have also experienced two sets of grandkids, including some of them living with me, and can plainly see the difference between teen angst, stupid as Mike calls it, and deviant attitudes.
