He is delusional if he thinks he's going home at the end of all this!

[dOllicOutur]

His mom is the exact kind of mom these guys tend to have. She’s selfish so she teaches her kids to be selfish. She takes so they take no matter who they hurt

[jxn]

It makes me absolutely sick that he even has access to the internet 🤬🤬

[malcolmianburgess]

The mum Sounds just like the mum of Chris Watts, disgusting

[ASB]

He is so clueless that he thinks he is getting out?!! The pics alone will keep him in prison forever.

If you were the mother of a man who did what Stephen Stearns did, wouldn’t you have something completely different to write in an email to your son? That’s assuming you would choose to even keep contact with him.

[PoliteTia]

It amazing how these two women pacify this 37-year-old man. They feed him, keep a roof over his head and refuse to hold Stephan Sterns accountable for anything.

[esteemedmortal]

If he hates jail, he’s not going to like prison…

[americansunbeam]

I find it very difficult to believe that Jen Sotto was unaware of this sick behavior! In addition, she did not look devastated enough when it happened. Any mother would be hysterical.

0:50 WTF kind of mother sees NOTHING wrong w/the SA of a child and instead focuses on another person sharing in the blame w/her pedophile son?? How does she overlook the part that her son was found w/photos on his phone showing him SA his girlfriend's CHILD?? UNFKNBELIEVABLE!!

[Limitedonathios]

“It’s unfair she’s not in jail too!” As opposed to “it’s unfair that you took a child’s life and you need to serve your time.” The self focused nature of this family is astounding. No wonder why he did what he did, only his wants matter.

I didn’t like when people were making comments about his family, bc they were assumptions. But now we can see that those comments were right

[fremontpathfinder]

And no mention of poor Madeline. No sympathy. Just disgusting.

[Jeannette]

The fact that her mom hasn't been indicted is freaking sad!

[frightfright]

Sounds like a lot of people are guilty and knew what was going on

[dargful]

It’s sad this mother is unable to hold her son accountable. Even accountable for the child abuse photos on his own phone!!!!

[jxn]

Sounds like his mother also knew what was going on. 🤮

[ljoc]

Shouldn’t she at least be charged with negligence and endangering a child? She allowed her daughter to share a bed with an adult male. Isn’t that negligence and endangerment?

[azrobbins]

I guess it didn't matter at all that they redacted the name, huh?

[SunnyDayss]

Something terribly wrong with Sterns mother; which isn’t that surprising.

[crystaldawn]

The only thing that email tells me is that his mother knew what was going on, seeing as she knows so much about it why isn't she in jail herself
