christian fernandez is a thirteen-year-old boy florida who is
just been charged with murder now he might face aid sent alight sentence in
prison because of this and it's because i've seen
beat his two-year-old stepbrother to death
now there are couple things to keep in mind when when talking about the story
first of all
he was the victim of abuse growing up he was the sun two a twelve year old mother
uh... when he was two years old he was found to be a kid and jerry wandering
the streets and his grandmother was close to be taking care of him at that
time
however she was in a motel a high on cocaine uh... he was opm beaten by his
stepfather he was moved from one place to another i mean he was the victim of
horrible horrible violence growing up he he had been abused when he wasn't
sexually abused as of all this was a man of the mother is father was a
twenty-five girlhood sexually assaulted his twelve year old mother
and and they both had to go to foster care
at the same time because the moms only twelve and he is a baby right
so i mean you couldn't find a holder background now having said that
what he did to the kids who were spout rate so let me the more detailed about
what he is charged with first of all he's charged with first degree murder in
the two thousand eleven
beating about his twelve you're old
half-brother
and also he was accused of sexually abusing his five-year-old half-brother
so two different cases one is abuse that they do so
twenty eight of the things that they could strides with you know masturbating
in in school jati outta obviously
by comparison is lovely
uh... compared to what he's done here
and it's not just that he once the wrestling moving and not get into this
sh shelf and knocked among cuts of one of killing him
he had broken i think is like before yes doings other resting so he's got
deviations yes so on the one hand you look at him you go
i don't want this kid out there make i don't know what kind of damaging cause
the next kid
on the other hand
now florida is asking for a life sentence
now and we should be fair to special prosecutor in this case and it's angela
quarry right uh...
she is saying that the prosecutors are not
already it you know emitting that they are going to press
uh... charges and asked for a life sentence right
they're considering it so nothing is set in stone yet but it is important to keep
in mind that just this last summer the supreme court didn't rule that a life
sentence a mandatory life sentence for minors is unconstitutional however the
state of florida has not changed their lives yet so they're going for the
twenty five to life category and then they'll figure out later and you know
where he's in a format range
so sis is unconstitutional oddly will get like we could get twenty five years
the point is should he be treated as a juvenile
or as an adult
and i think it's a really hard case leaving idon't think it's hard to as it
seems i think that acting asia
thirteen
considering the fact that he it was the victim of such as violence and abuse
going up he needs psychological help he should be treated as a juvenile he
should receive the psychological help necessary i'm not saying let him go and
let him free and saying that we should definitely consider what he went through
in his life because look our prison system is not focused on rehabilitating
people
putting in
extreme as an adult and putting hand in prison for a minimum of twenty five
years is not going to help the situation whatsoever
looked at website is it's not like in juvenile attention
uh... they're gonna wonderfully revolted among those words are honest it nahin
totally understand that but at the same time and he probably either or
right it's either juvenile court and all and no matter what you from into a
system that does nothing to rehabilitated
he need psychological help
that's that's the bottom line and is he really gonna receive that considering
what our prison systems are today probably not
can even recovery even if he got psychological help a lot of people that
have you
seat of the show very much a motion and understandably so and he's
folded someone when he was much younger
bug-eyed to bury them ocean an active uris is reviewing you're probably lumber
the motion to a look at his perspective his perspective is
this kind of us is all of these a royal opera there was a brief period of time
where his family moved to jacksonville and he went to school and he receives
straight a's i think that they're is agl emeril hope in this way and i hate the
fact that society immediately want to give up on him
thinking almost psychological help is a good now
american i hear you have but i always think about the victims to met
courtroom is dead
the five euro got abuse so
and mean
cam bring back someone after they died and so
i want to be tough but on the other hand being top of the thirteen-year-old in
that top right it is more about you that it does about it and let's talk about
the fact that the mother in the case after she discovered that her
two-year-old son was
severely injured
did until she took into the hot suhasjkool he could have survived
eight-and-a-half hours
they said it in her at case
they really believe you could survive it needs to take him really
she was the panic like thought that i got a cover this up
the google doc unconsciousness
to try to figure out what to do on our own i presume she texted friends as she
f thirty years so
it's not like she was approx
uh... genesis leaving juvenile or adult
treatment for this bad we all know that you know the leading
but amin so
i mean of pollution juvenile is as you just said those places are hotness to
pays for this prison for kids
and and and the guys and you know that i have no
from within dot small at stuff
but that didn't really so we fail this kid his whole life
uh... from just give me a lot of the message was that he wasn't he couldn't
hide
unproven that to you know the died
uh... so he grows up to the what will this happen
tube to be this very emotional person is all this is a mental problems has
to protect his
and so now we're looking to stromal to throw away to the present because that's
what we do and that's going to solve the problem so then so he kills a kid
unexplored me purvis celexa play and not
eight hours of head from a who knows but was going to the state summerside is
going to work with the dozen don't think so instead of doing something to change
i'll keep applicators we still more and what the next one come too so you guys
would need to send your attention you sent to
a facility deeded memento hopefully right and i wouldn't want him and tell
them you're on and i wouldn't want him released into society and tell mental
health professionals know that he is no longer threat to society
right and that's a tough tough determination and i'm scared about it
but i think
but that's the baby has a right any were unanimous i don't think that this any
other same solution here
i'm scared to death about what's gonna happen in the future with him
but i i our best shot is asylum for mental health treatment and and hope
against hope that he can get better
given how he grew up
uh... but
it's a new anybody any good descend into jail for twenty five years
because even if you care
only about what's gonna happen others you know care about that kid at all
was that have been when he is out of prison twenty-five years late right
is activity that was a number of the folks weber's because you're not present
and comes out
you know five years or or eight years later
how hard is either the after spending that time in juvenile detention
uh... i'm with you guys maybe word
to live alone no everybody has different opinion on it
my sister's listed please give it a shot
and try to give them some treatments evening it better
that he was an adult it would be a million per cent different story but
he's not he's only thirty
