A broken home can be very traumatizing for a child. Anyone else pick up on this?

[susandavey]

Him saying he would kill his own son to protect his family 😒 sorry alarm bells that child is in danger and no one is helping that poor kid

[parkerdoty]

Bullying your child does this to them especially when they can’t regulate their emotions

[nateowen]

He should stop trying to justify his traumatization of his son

[britney]

Maybe he should live with his mom so she can get him the help he needs and see how that works, if she believes it’s mental Illness she needs to step in!

[metoo]

They are torturing their son. Saying he would kill him. Wow. I would raise him and help him if he needed medical help or any help he needed.

"Jack got up without waking his mother or I."
"Jack got up without waking I."
Maybe he's the one who is possessed.

[grave_godesss]

I think the kid is acting up because he's pissed about his parents. He has a step mom, so most likely the parents got a divorce, probably because of the father thinking there's demons in his son and threatening to kill his own son. Kids will throw tantrums because they want their parents back together or they blame themselves. He really should go to a psychologist or a therapist. I wish we could watch the whole episode so we could get the whole story. Either way, I fear for that kid's life.

The kid needs love, support, and stability not an exorcism. What a fool.

[anarchist_parable]

When are we going to evaluate our culture? The entire way we raise children in America generates various levels of emotional trauma. What is this behavior?

[angv]

Ok some creepy behaviors can be expected from young children because they don’t have a full grasp of social norms and moral standards. The fact that he was stacking glass around his mom shouldn’t even be included in his reasoning.

[DJ-Dreaming]

Supernatural demon label, on their 12-year-old son? The kid is in emotional distress because he can't regulate them for himself, but no, they'd rather call this supernatural and do nothing. smh.

[jamestaylor]

Don’t like the fact she said my new home vs saying our new home! SMH!

[Josh.NTX.ATV.]

This guy has now been arrested for sexual assault against a child…

[abrustanolfie]

the stepmom sounds very ominious, the way she said "as we should be doing, as wives".

I your husband was going to kill someone, would you support him as a "wife"?

[itsjustmyopinion]

People that crazy shouldn't have kids.

[deadlymouse]

That father should have gone to jail for what he did, he went from spanking to abuse. Plus anyone who believes in exorcism still over science is a unfit parent.

[megalou]

Poor kid was making his mommy a necklace on the only way he knew how to do it. That’s what he meant by “ making mommy pretty” .
I happen to think that’s creative AF. People make a lot of beautiful art with broken glass.

[AliciaGuitar]

Sounds like this guy is warning us... he WILL kill his son eventually! He needs to lose custody immediately and an order of protection taken out for the boy. That man is delusional enough to do it.

[wendyhardin]

So sad when delusional claim to be Christians have children who are abused by them. Just from listening to this sorry excuse for a father and watching him verbally abuse his son in a video, it’s not hard to imagine the horrors this boy has gone through in his life. There should be an IQ year and mental evaluation before some people procreate. This man and his new wife would be great “poster children” for that.
