This is in my back yard, so crazy this girl honestly shouldn't have gotten such little time 4 this.. spoiled sadly.. rip Bren
I feel so bad for the Dad. He has to deal with his wife's brutal murder, then has to testify to help throw his own daughter in prison.
This reminds me of the Chandler Halderson case. Kid killed both parents when they found out he only pretended to go to college but in reality he failed a long time ago.
another barbie sentence
What’s did I just watching
I think killing her while she was on the phone with the college was on purpose. She wanted to traumatize them too
That Pittsburgh steelers sweatshirt explains it all !!!!!
This narrator is hamming it up a bit much for my taste
This is sickening, how could you kill your own mother, the one who raised you, loved you, cared for you and that’s the way you repay your mom absolutely evil and should be locked behind bars for the rest of her life. 15 years isn’t enough time for what she did.
I used to work with someone whose family thought they were in college. I always wondered how that ended and if they got away with the lie
14:52 stoppppp she’s covering her ears as if she didn’t have a firsthand experience in performing the actions
People never fail to amaze me with their lack of common sense and absolute craziness!
The poor dad. He seems so sweet! And he was even paying her tuition.. stop my heart
15 years for murdering your mother a blaque person could have never 🤦🏾♀️
Sadly my beautiful precious mom is no longer here and I would have laid down my life for her. She was my best friend. I can’t imagine what was going through Sidney’s head. She needs locked up for life wo possibility of parole never to see the light of day until they walk her out in a casket. May her mother rest in eternal peace. Amen. 🕊️
Just imagine….. if you flunk out of college, or transfer to a less than glamorous school, no one would know unless you told them. Now, the world will know you’re a murderer because that’s public record.
As someone who was like her, I excelled in high school, and then everything came crashing down in college, as I got placed on academic probation my very first semester in college, and so did my best friend the second semester at her college. To cut my losses I transferred to a community college back home. I grew a pair, called and told my dad I was coming back home cuz I was academic probation and didn’t feel I was mature enough to turn it around to not be kicked out later. All he said was, “It’s okay babygirl, I’m coming to get you, whatever you decide to do next I support you.” I think maybe this girl didn’t give much credit to her parents in thinking they’d overreact to her failing college. They seemed understanding, what harm would it have been to either be honest or just tell them college isn’t for her and she’s withdrawing? Your parents can’t help with things they know nothing about.
Was my journey glamours? No. Am I embarrassed about how my journey progressed? No. But, at the end of the day I went on to achieve my bachelor’s degree and am currently in grad school. So what is you get kicked out, try again and keep going. People wanna see that you have the strength to keep going even when things aren’t ideal.
How she suddenly dropped from being a very distinguished student who got a scholarship to being underachiever student who got expelled from university !!
Justice would be life without parole!!
that's so weird. i failed my first semester at community college because i just didn't really try. you know what happened? my mom told me to get another job 😂 it's really not even that deep. i'm sure my mom was disappointed but come on, if you can't handle disappointment as an adult, you have a lot of growing up to do.
TO ALL YOUNG PEOPLE READING THIS I have a different story and that is of a family member who was very successful in college and got many degrees, including law. …….They have really struggled in day-to-day life after college and are much older now. ……A college degree does not make you a success in life…….Please don't be fooled. ……I wish someone told me this when I was college age what I am telling you know……True story.
Hahaha, the picturesque city of Akron Ohio?? Apparently none of these people are familiar with Akron Ohio.
Her father seems so understanding
Best friend. Smh
So sad, she obviously had a brain snap…she will never get over this, especially since she had a great relationship with her mother.
picturesque city of Akron, Ohio
So what happened that Sydney went from a stellar student to flunking out of university?
ITS ALWAYS THE PRIVILEGED PERFECTIONIST WOMEN WHO GOES NARCISSISTIC
The way the dad knew she'd run and hide from it if he didn't leave his phone at work suggests they knew what she was like.
Daughter… what are you doing!! …succeeding you, mother.
Girl….. you’re cooked. You did this yourself, smh.
The poor father 🥺
Child abuse.
This case hurts deeply.
My kids make me proud by just existing ❤
Well why did she get kicked out of school? They never did say why.
Dude, your narrator….really shouldn't be narrating anything. Just sayin.
Unreal!!!! WTH doing this to your mom?!
15 years for killing a mother who loved you is much too lenient.
There is also a broken hearted husband left without his wife.
So sad.
Imagine her mother taking care of her since she was a little baby, now that little baby turn into this…
And after all of these, some humans still expecting so high about their kids 🤣🤣🤣
She has killed the person that’s love her the most so she should stay in jail for rest of her life for what she has done.
