THIS IS ONE OF THE FIRST LOOKS THAT THE PUBLIC RECEIVED.
>>JENNIFER WAUGH: THIS IS
TRISTYN BAILEY HERE BUT WE’RE
REFERRING TO THIS PHOTO OF ADEN
FUCCI THE TEEN ACCUSED OF
KILLING A
13 YEAR-OLD IT’S A PICTURE OF
HIM IN THE BACK OF A SQUAD CAR
WITH THE CAPTION, HEY GUYS HAS
ANYBODY SEEN
TRISTEN LATELY. INVESTIGATORS
HAVE SPENT THE WEEK SENSE.
FUGEES ARRESTS DIGGING INTO
THIS TEEN’S BACKGROUND AND
INTERVIEWING PEOPLE CLOSE
TO HIM NEW DOCUMENTS NOW REVEAL
THAT IN THE INTERROGATION ROOM
WHEN HIS
PARENTS TOLD A FUJI THAT HE WAS
THE LAST PERSON TO SEE BAILEY
ALIVE, HE REPLIED HOW IS THAT
MY PROBLEM IN A LATER
INTERVIEW FOOD CHEESE
GIRLFRIEND, SHE SAID THAT FOOD
SHE WOULD HEAR VOICES IN HIS
HEAD WHEN HE WAS ANGRY
THAT THE VOICES WOULD TELL HIM
HE WAS WORTHLESS AND A
DISAPPOINTMENT AND EVEN TELL
HIM TO
KILL PEOPLE. THE GIRLFRIEND
ALSO TOLD INVESTIGATORS
ACCORDING TO THEM THAT THAT
FOOD SHE WOULD SURPRISE HER AND
PUT A KNIFE TO
HER THROAT AND THAT HE TOLD HER
HE WAS GOING TO KILL SOMEONE
LESS THAN A MONTH BEFORE THE
13 YEAR-OLD DISAPPEARED.
JOINING US NOW IS DOCTOR DAN
WEINBERG HE’S A LOCAL
PSYCHIATRIST DOCTOR THANKS FOR
JOINING US. GOOD MORNING TO
YOU.
>> YOU’RE WELCOME TO MORNING
FIRST IF I
MAY HAVE.
>>JENNIFER WAUGH: I KNOW THAT
YOU LIVE IN AND NEAR THE SAINT
JOHN’S WHERE THIS
WHAT ARE YOU HEARING FROM
PARENTS THIS MORNING GIVEN THE
DISTURBING DETAILS THAT WE
LEARNED YESTERDAY AND FROM
TEENAGERS IN THE COMMUNITY.
>> IT CONTINUES TO BE A
TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF JUST SHOCK
BELIEVABILITY THAT SOMETHING
LIKE THIS COULD HAPPEN IN A
PLACE WHERE WE
ALL LIVE. THE BIGGEST THING
THAT I HEAR AT THIS POINT FROM
PARENTS IS
ARE MY CHILDREN SAFE IS
SOMETHING LIKE THIS GOING TO
HAPPEN. AGAIN AND I DO TRY TO
TALK TO
THEM IN HELP REASSURE THEM AND
SAY THAT THIS IS EXTREMELY RARE
IN THIS THIS WHY THIS IS ON THE
NEWS IS BECAUSE THIS DOESN’T
HAPPEN ALL THAT OFTEN IT’S
ALMOST AS LIKELY AS WINNING
THE LOTTERY.
>> SO GIVEN GIVEN THOSE
QUESTIONS AND AND AND I WANT TO
PREFACE THIS
BY SAYING.
>>JENNIFER WAUGH: WE ARE
CERTAINLY NOT BLAMING ANYONE IN
THIS SITUATION. I MEAN OTHER
OTHER THAN OBVIOUSLY THE PERSON
WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR OUR
TRUST IN BAILEY’S DEATH WHO
WILL BE TRIED AND A JURY WILL
DETERMINE WHETHER HE’S GUILTY
OR NOT. BUT BUT LET’S TALK
IN GENERAL FOR THE PARENTS WHO
ARE ASKING COULD THIS
HAPPEN AGAIN. AND TO THOSE
FRIENDS WHO MAY BE JOKE AROUND.
WHAT ARE THE RED FLAGS THAT
WE SHOULD BE TELLING OUR
TEENAGERS ABOUT THEIR FRIENDS
THINGS THAT THEY
MIGHT SAY THAT SHOULD WARRANT A
LEVEL OF INTERVENTION OF
TALKING TO A PARENT OR SOMEONE
ELSE AND GETTING HELP.
>> I THINK THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS THAT CAN PRINT PREDICT NOT NECESSARILY SOMETHING TO
THIS EXTENT BUT CAN PREDICT
PROBLEMATIC BEHAVIOR
IN ADOLESCENTS AND THERE THERE
IS A BUILDUP TO THIS TYPE OF
THING IN TALKING TO THE
COMMUNITY THERE WERE A LOT OF
WARNING SIGNS.
PREVIOUS VIOLENCE FIGHTING
GETTING IN TROUBLE AT SCHOOL.
CERTAINLY BE EXPELLED FROM
MULTIPLE SCHOOLS. VANDALISM.
DRUG USAGE, ANYBODY WHO CARRIES
AROUND A KNIFE AT 14 YEARS OLD
AND HAS BEHAVIORS
LIKE THAT YOU KNOW THAT’S
SOMETHING SIGNIFICANTLY OUTSIDE
OF THE NORM THAT A PARENT CAN
SIT DOWN WITH THEIR TEENAGER
AND AND SAY HEY. I’M HERE TO
PROTECT YOU I LOVE YOU.
THERE ARE BAD THINGS IN THIS
WORLD, I’M NOT TRYING TO TAKE
AWAY YOUR FREE WILL.
BUT THIS IS DANGEROUS SPEND I
NEED TO PROTECT YOU.
CLASSICAL SIGNS OF THIS TYPE OF
BEHAVIOR THAT YOU’LL SEE ARE.
CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.
IF HERDING DOGS OR CATS IN THE
NEIGHBORHOOD, TAKING PLEASURE
OUT OF DOING THAT.
JUST THE AMOUNT OF WINE THAT
OCCURS EVEN WHEN THERE
CAUGHT PEOPLE WITH THIS TYPE OF
PROBLEM JUST CONTINUE TO LIVE
YOUR FACE EVEN EVEN THOUGH
EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT THEIR
LINE. AND THEN LACK OF REMORSE
JUST THE INABILITY TO SHOW ANY
KIND OF FEELING OR SADNESS FOR
ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS IF THEY
GET CAUGHT VANDALIZING THEY
DON’T SAY I’M SORRY THEY DON’T
FROM THEIR
SHOULDERS AND BUT THEIR HEAD
DOWN AND GO. YEAH, I KNOW I DID
SOMETHING WRONG IN THIS FOR THE
MOMENT THAT LACK OF REMORSE IS
VERY TELLING OF THIS TYPE OF
BEHAVIOR DOCTOR HOW DO WE GET
OUR TEENS.
>>JENNIFER WAUGH: TO TELL US IF
THEY HAVE A FRIEND WHO IS
EXHIBITING THAT KIND OF
BEHAVIOR.
>> IT’S OBVIOUSLY IT’S
DIFFICULT ESPECIALLY WITH
TEENAGERS AND WHERE
THEY’RE AT I THINK THAT THE
MOST IMPORTANT THING TO DO WITH
YOUR TEENAGER IS NOT SHUT THEM
DOWN. ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU
YOU DO GIVE THEM BOUNDARIES AND
LIMITS AND SAY OKAY YOU’RE NOT
GOING TO GO TO THIS PARTY
BECAUSE WE DON’T THINK IT’S
SAFE OR
YOU WENT AND DID SOMETHING WE
TOLD YOU NOT TO DO SO NOW
YOU’RE GROUNDED FOR A CERTAIN
PERIOD
OF TIME THAT DOES ARE VERY
APPROPRIATE THINGS TO DO AND
THEY HAVE TO BE DONE.
BUT WHAT’S IMPORTANT IS THAT
YOUR CHILDREN ARE GOING TO HAVE
THINGS TO SAY
IN RESPONSE AND GIVE THEM A
CHANCE TO SPEAK LET THEM BE
HEARD AND
TO INGEST WHAT THEY’RE SAYING
TO YOU AND THEN GIVE
INFORMATION BACK TO THEM EVEN
THOUGH IT’S NOT GOING TO CHANGE
THE OUTCOME THAT THEY’RE STILL
GOING TO BE GROUND OVER THERE
SO NOT GOING TO THAT PARTY,
LETTING THEM BE HEARD IT IS
EXTREMELY IMPORTANT. THIS THIS
IS KIND OF A SILLY EXAMPLE, BUT
A COUPLE DAYS AGO MY 8 YEAR-OLD
INFORMED ME THAT HE WAS BETTER
THAN MOST DRIVERS THAT HE SAW
DRIVING CARS AND THEREFORE HE
SHOULD BE ABLE TO DRIVE.
AND I SAID OK WE’LL GO AHEAD
TELL ME WHY YOU THINK YOU’RE
BETTER DRIVER AND I JUST SAT
DOWN AND LISTENED TO HIM AND.
OBVIOUSLY HE WAS NEVER GOING TO
BEHIND THE WHEEL OF A CAR BUT
LETTING HIM TALK AND WORK
THROUGH
THOSE EMOTIONS.
>> HELP THEM PROCESS AND
PERHAPS A PARTICULARLY WHEN WE
HAVE TEENAGERS WE GET
INTO THIS. YOU KNOW WHERE WE
TEND TO PERHAPS PREACH AND NOT
NECESSARILY HAVE A CONVERSATION
THAT INVOLVES OR TEENAGER
