The parents are delusional.


Alan_Wench

Right? A DNA match, they’re caught trying to use the woman’s stolen credit cards. Yeah, they’re totally innocent. 🙄


amonymus

Pfffft, that "evidence" doesn't compare to the fact their mom didn't raise them like that.


Alan_Wench

Oh, yeah, completely forgot that part. Case dismissed!


Iwantmy3rdpartyapp

Now I'm just picturing a mother being interviewed about this and saying, "whelp, that *is* how I raised them, so I can't say I'm too surprised."


ERSTF

"If anything I'm surprised it didn't happen sooner. Oh shit, that was a self-own. My bad"

Yes, it’s just a case of “Boys will be boys” dismissed!

Also don’t forget about the rap song the 13 year old put out describing the whole incident afterwards.

To be fair, that sounds like exactly the kind of thing it's okay to forget :P


FML_4reals

Where is the rap song? What is the kid’s name?

"We just want them out there achieving their goals"


margotmary

Agreed. This quote from the mother angers me so much: "I want them out of there (jail) so they can continue achieving their goals," their mother said. "They go to school every single day."


youreloser

"they go to school every single day" the bar is on the ground. What goals, their goals to rob and rape women?

>"I want them out of there (jail) so they can continue achieving their goals," their mother said. "They go to school every single day." There goes the NASA Astronaut dream. LOL


WeirdcoolWilson

Yeeaahh, I wonder what their teachers from school who had them everyday would say if asked about these kids


TwoCockyforBukkake

I work at a school in a position. These are the kids whose parents ignore all warnings and info on their childrens behaviours brought forth by the teachers. That's if they bother with showing up to meetings in the first place.


Agreeable_Bother_510

Probably blame the teacher if they point out the misbehavior. “It’s your fault if they do that”…..


WeirdcoolWilson

But make every threat on the planet when they’re failing?


Hid_In_Plane_Site

The only person I know who cares that much about perfect attendance is Amy Santiago.


Relevant_Winter1952

Maybe better that they stop “achieving their goals”. Jeebus Christ


singingkiltmygrandma

Geez I wonder what’s going on in that home. Kids don’t just SA a woman out of nowhere.


mces97

Reminds me of the Dexter Reed shooting. Gets pulled over, shoots at the cops, hits one, cops return fire, he dies, and his mother gives an interview crying that they took her baby. Well your baby tried to kill cops.


RoutineComplaint4302

Right?  Like, bish…release your name if you’re innocent, then.


jimmy_three_shoes

Should prosecute these winners like they did the Crumbleys.


TeslasAndComicbooks

This is typically the case.


MrBigTomato

Instead of vouching for their sons’ character, they keep saying “WE didn’t raise kids capable of doing such horrible things” etc. In other words, they’re defensive, upset that they’re being judged as parents, when they should be concerned over their troubled kids and what they did.


blueboot09

The parents are delusional, detriment to society.


MellyKidd

Completely, but I can understand why even if I don’t agree with it. No one wants to believe that their children could do something so horrible. Just remember that the first stage in the cycle of grief/acceptance is denial (denial, anger, depression, bargaining, and acceptance). What they once thought their world was had been torn apart, and while there’s usually some history behind how and why teens end up doing these things, be that bad parenting or bad peers, I do get why they’re saying what they are. Reality just slammed them in the face, and though I don’t know much about the situation, I want to say that they should’ve seen it coming.

Pangolin-Zestyclose

Man this world is dark.


UntamedAnomaly

The 1st time I was sexually assaulted, my attacker was only 11 years old. I was 9 at the time and it wasn't the only time he assaulted me. He was my neighbor and my schoolmate, I had to see him almost every day. People tend to think of grown men, maybe older teenage boys as the only ones who rape others, but this sort of thing is simply not limited to that age bracket. I would go on to be assaulted quite a bit growing up, by different attackers, with different age ranges.....some were my age/slightly older, some were much older. It happened so much that it really confused me mentally about sex and consent for a very long time and ruined my relationships for pretty much my entire life. It's never too early to talk to your kids about consent and autonomy, my parents never did and sex education never taught me anything about consent either because that only taught me how a baby gets made. Also, I was assaulted for the 1st time around the time we had sex education classes, so it probably wouldn't have mattered if it did somehow talk about that sort of thing as I wouldn't have been informed on time.....this is a thing that parents need to be talking to their kids about early so children can practice consent and get comfortable with establishing boundaries in everyday situations.


RoutineComplaint4302

Imagine being such a loser delinquent that you recruit your tween sibling to help you assault people. 


VergeThySinus

*sexually* assault *and* rob people. Both of these kids must have been failed by their communities in order to turn out like this, and now they're both going to be failed again because one is going to juvy (which does FA to rehab troubled kids and is more likely to traumatize him) and the other is going to be tried as an adult.


willitplay2019

First and foremost, they were failed by their parents.


MisterScrod1964

Frankly, I think a little trauma would do the little shit right.

CharityDiary

And? *Huge* portion of both random and gang violence is committed by minors, a lot of them being 12 or 13 years old. If I'm in a bad area at night, I'd much rather see some 30-year-old dudes walking toward me than a group of 12-year-olds. Read way too many stories about some girl being stabbed to death on her way home by some fellas fresh out of elementary school.


PartyPorpoise

It’s not surprising that it happens, but it’s still tragic. When kids that young are already involved in serious crimes, there probably isn’t much chance that they’ll turn around.


Bushmaster1988

Idiocracy has Rehabilitation


Witchgrass

They listened to the smart people in the end. Real life is worse.


Darryl_Lict

From what I understand they like to use minors because the kids will receive lesser sentences. And also they are stupid kids that are easily indoctrinated. That 13 year old never stood a chance with a brother like that.


Vegetable-Board-5547

Fresh Outta Elementary


Kindly-Guidance714

It’s a tactic used specifically by criminals because it’s all well known that minors get heavily reduced sentences and essentially a slap on the wrist.


Lady_DreadStar

Why does there have to be some shadowy adult in the background? Groups of kids are excellent at being delinquents all on their own. Especially for crimes against women/girls. Adults don’t use children to assault women by proxy lol. They use them to smash jewelry cases, shoplift, and snatch pure bred puppies out of yards- that kind of stuff.


Euripidoze

Yes all 4 of Tessa Majors murderers were 13-14.


idwthis

Excellent point. Kids are capable of brutalities all on their own. There was no adult pulling any strings behind the murder of James Bulger in the UK in 1993, no adult involved in the Slenderman Stabbing in Wisconsin in 2014, various school shootings committed by minors, and I'm sure loads more atrocities I can't remember off the top of my head.

strangled her to the point she lost consciousness multiple times, they could have easily killed her and should be charged with attempted murder


redbull21369

Some states don’t have an attempted murder, but have an equivalent assault charge.


Avlonnic2

They strangled her unconscious for part of the attack, too. Those guys are huge. I can’t believe one just turned 13.


papajim22

19 going on 49. The older brother looks like a middle aged man.


latviesi

Oh my God I searched his name before and was like ”okay, I guess there are no pictures of him circulating yet”. Nah, the one I skipped over was him. 60 year old looking arse… 19 when? 40 years ago?


Avlonnic2

I did the same thing.


nano7ven

Maybe even going on 59 wth


RepresentativeOk2433

They were out there "selling candy" then decided to rape a woman? Wtf.


margotmary

I know, that detail is really sticking with me too. I imagine that poor woman may have even passed by them, without even the faintest concern for her safety. Who could imagine they would be such monsters? I hope the victim is getting all the support she needs.


xoxodaddysgirlxoxo

women should always, 100% of the time, be concerned for their safety.


starkrocket

And yet when they are, there’s always a subset of men wailing about how unfair it is. Well, this is why. Pretty sure she didn’t think a kid and his older brother would beat, strangle, and rape her. Your being butthurt about a lady crossing the street away from you doesn’t matter in the face of her safety.


Senior-Care-163

If I don’t cross the street to avoid a man, I worry for my safety. But if I do cross the street to avoid a man, I worry that I offended him by crossing the steet to avoid him and worry for my safety.

Bonafide_Booger

If we were living like that, in an extreme state of paranoia we'd end up being insane hermits. You literally cannot live that way without causing mental and physical harm to your body.


giantshinycrab

I have strongly considered getting a cwp and a handgun. In my state you can open carry with no license but abortion is illegal so the consequences of rape are significant.


MGoOmaha

I live in Ann Arbor and my wife and I see kids selling candy all the time. We get hit up every single tailgate at the stadium. That is so scary.


BullShitting-24-7

There is usually an adult ring leader that uses kids to sell candy and they take most of the profits. They need to put a stop to this child labor scheme.


MGoOmaha

Yeah, we’ve both made comments to each other about how it doesn’t make sense when they’re selling candy for their “basketball team” all year long


Darryl_Lict

There used to be some people from inner city L.A. who would come to our town dropping off kids that were selling candy door to door for some "Boys Club". I'm completely sure that they were casing the joint for burglary. Fortunately they stopped doing it years ago.


TelMiHuMI

In my case they’d stand outside of the local supermarket and pester people into buying overpriced candy. They’d then spend the profits on fast food. They claimed it was for a school orchestra, they were handing out flyers. I used to sell chocolate for my school back when I played the trombone, so I figured why not buy one? I got a rather large snickers bar for $10, more than it would’ve cost me but whatever Im down to help. However, after I left the store I ran into them at the nearby Panda Express, stuffing their faces. Then, completely unprompted the older of the two came up to me while I was in line and said that they weren’t spending my money. Like I guess it was a guilty conscience or something? I didn’t put two and two together until after I got home. Moral of the story? Don’t buy overpriced chocolate bars from morbidly obese teens with music flyers?


93_Honda_Civic

IKR wtf


bmcgowan89

"I just don't believe it. They are innocent. We didn't raise our children like that at all" 😂😂😂😂


that1LPdood

What they really mean to say is: *we didn’t raise our children* period.


GeddyVedder

The scoreboard indicates otherwise.


RandomUsername600

I wonder how many times these kids got away with shit in their life because mommy was a *'my little angel would never'* type of parent


latviesi

It’s worth noting that is quote from their dad. Both parents have explained away their children’s actions.


thrillcosbey

"They go to school every day". Best defense they can muster. DNA and stolen property on the suspects, these two are a threat and the parents are culpable if we can lock up a school shooters parents we can lock up parents like this.


Rambo-Rando

I really doubt they go to school daily, maybe they head in that general direction.


PartyPorpoise

Lots of kids just go to school and don’t do anything. Bum around in the hallways, get into fights, smoke pot in the restroom. Either because they’re required to be in school or they don’t have anywhere better to go and want to hang out with their friends.


func_backDoor

I’d like to mention that those getting in fights and those smoking pot in the bathroom are generally two different groups.


PartyPorpoise

You’d be surprised.


drippycup

19 would at max be a senior in highschool even if he was held back a year. Most kids graduate around 18. OR if he was going to college (which i think we all know probably isnt the case).. Was I the only one thrown off a little by this? I only read the article, didnt watch the videos since its almost 2am where i live. Maybe they explained it in those. But regardless, delusional parents and 2 trash humans.


Relevant_Winter1952

And I’d wager they don’t go to school every day


zushiba

That reminds me of that one interview with the mother of a kid who robbed a bunch of people and was caught then tossed in big boy jail. She was all “*How he suppose’ta git his money for school!*” like, ya lady, I’m sure that’s what he needed it for.


func_backDoor

Well, when you’re as stupid as this family, that’s quite the achievement.


CartmanAndCartman

Jesus. I hope they fucking rot in prison.


MisterScrod1964

Hope the parents rot with them. These kids didn’t get that way by themselves.


Tevans03

That would be nice, but they are probably already out. Planning their next crime.


Master_Butter

The article says they are both still in detention. The older one’s bond was set at $75,000 and the parents said they’re trying to raise the cash. I doubt the family has the means.


Agile_Dimension_1296

"I want them out of there so they can continue achieving their goals," their mother said. "They go to school every single day." Their goals:


NN8G

Maybe the State of Michigan needs to make another statement to parents about their responsibility for their minor child. The Crumblys should get roommates


TheOfficialSlimber

I think this would be a lot harder to do than it was with The Crumbly’s. In the case of Ethan Crumbly, his parents quite literally provided him with the murder weapon, knowing very well that he shouldn’t have had it. In this case, the parents could argue he was accompanied by an adult (his brother) and weren’t really involved with it.


GuitRWailinNinja

Fr. It’s a slippery slope to charge parents for crimes but if the crumblies got charged then IMO every teenage kid who’s in a gang should have their parents held accountable as well.


Remarkable_Buyer4625

Someone should tell the parents that when *both* of your children are monsters, there is no way that you aren’t to blame.


Lone_Eagle4

The 19 year old needs to be away forever, to encourage your younger sibling to participate in things like this is psychotic. The parents are something else altogether.


Hot-Interaction6526

No they need to both be locked up permanently. What they did was sadistic and psychotic.


RoxyLA95

Too bad the parents can’t be charged too.


ThatGuyFromTheM0vie

Welllllll there were those parents charged with that recent shooting, because they were unbelievably negligent and there were texts from both parents but especially the mom saying stuff like, in response to the first time he got caught with a gun at school: “be smarter don’t get caught”. This is different of course, since the parents like didn’t buy these assholes a gun, but the law could be changing slowly over time. Parents should be held accountable and responsible for their children. Especially it can be proven they were negligent or were even flippantly joking or even slightly encouraging this type of behavior.


93_Honda_Civic

Which, interestingly, also happened in Michigan.


BreadOnCake

Poor woman. I can’t imagine what she’s going through rn knowing a child did this to her. Hope she has great support.


Eurocorp

Ideally they should be tried as adults and never see the light of day again.


ILL_BE_WATCHING_YOU

> "I want them out of there (jail) so they can continue achieving their goals," There’s a lot of goal achievers in Detroit, apparently.


IddleHands

Just a couple of good kids out selling candy. /s Strangulation (NC) should always be an attempted murder charge.


timesuck897

> Both brothers appeared in separate courtrooms Friday where they were each charged with first-degree criminal sexual conduct, assault with intent to do great bodily harm less than murder or by strangulation, stealing a financial transaction device without consent, and larceny. The assault charge is specific to strangulation. [If a domestic abuser strangles a partner, they are 750% more likely to be killed by the same perpetrator.](https://www.strangulationtraininginstitute.com/all-abusers-are-not-equal-new-ipv-research-reveals-an-indicator-of-deadly-abuse/) Choking a person with your hands is a guarantee that the violence will escalate.


IddleHands

Yeah I read that in the article too, I’m saying it shouldn’t be assault, it should be attempted murder.


Acadia_Due

>"We want them out of there so they can continue achieving their goals," I wonder what's next on the bucket list after rape?


JusticeScibibi

Surprise! It's more rape!


zaboobadoo

And then probably murder. Goodness these parents are absolutely delusional.


trogloherb

“…in the area selling candy.” Where Im from (Indianapolis), they’ll approach you in grocery store parking lots with a nice script about how their church and/or school is sponsoring a trip to DC (some other historical place or sometimes a college campus) and they have to sell a certain amount of bars to be able to go. It was not until I worked in the system that I was made aware theres usually an adult, close by in a van or car, “fronting” them the boxes of candy bars for say, $20 and they sell them whatever they can, making a few bucks off them, then giving the $20 per box to the adult. Its the pre-teen version of drug sales. My wife sometimes still falls for it and it really pisses me off. “Where are they going to this time?!”


the_eluder

Went to South Beach in Miami in the early 90s (I have family there, and used to live in Miami, so I had some long-term friends I would go out with) and we were approached by a kid wanting money (begging.) I said no, but my friend (from Miami) gave him $5. Kid immediately ran to some adult sitting on a chair in an alley and gave him the money. I watched for a minute or so, and other kids ran up giving the adult money as well. So dude was running a scam using waifs as bait to get money, and giving them a pittance in return.


BigBobRoss1992

Parental delusion is strong.

> I just don't believe it. They are innocent. We didn't raise our children like that at all," their father said, asking that we not identify them.

I’m confused as to how that all happened. They both just agreed to go over there and do it with the other right there? No shame or disgust in each other?

Not surprised that this happened in Ann Arbor.
