I'm a Psychology major and what his mother said about her not knowing what depression is, is really really sad. A lot of people especially older people aren't aware that depression is real and others even refuse to believe it exists.

Academic pressure on kids and depression taboo in Asia needs to be addressed on a much larger scale.

for everyone saying she talks to much , just CLICK OFF THE VIDEO. her channel is going deep in on cases. she is literally covering a CASE. if you’re so annoyed and wanna see a shorter version go somewhere else and spread your hate elsewhere. she did an amazing job.

I heard this from my therapist: some kids develop this "sixth sense" for their parents' emotions. For some, this translates into all other people. So then, for example, even if your parents are not telling you to be #1 in class, you pick up on their disappointment that you aren't #1, and you feel guilty. He probably felt the same about his social life, picking up on whether his classmates like him or not and thinking he's unlikable. As soon as you said he was super caring towards his grandma, it sank into me. He was trying his absolute hardest to be good to everyone- putting effort into being helpful, not causing trouble. He probably only told his mom he wants to drop out when he could no longer stand it, it was probably his way of bursting out. It's not always the strict parents that trouble kids, but also the nice understanding parents with secret expectations. Kids pick up on it, and the especially sensitive ones- they're gonna take it to heart.

Self-unalive or not, this boy was gone. A child and the fact they didnt find his body for more than 100 days is what raises questions on the schools behalf. Shame on the school and shame on police.

Really scary to hear how many countries’ systems for investigating missing children cases are so flawed. Like, they’re literally the most vulnerable population ????

I find it astonishing that he was still alive until nearly midnight. If they had involved someone sooner, maybe they would have found him before he was gone forever! So so sad. Rip sweetheart. Condolences to the parents also. 😢

this poor kid. he reached out for help, but no one listened. then being left like that for 100 days? That feels like a cruel confirmation of Xings own worst thoughts. My heart breaks for him-- I hope he can rest in peace.

It's so sad to watch how the whole ordeal aged his mother. You can see how drained she is. Poor woman lost her son, and she must have felt so guilty like it's her fault.

Even if a minor runs away, it shouldn't be ignored just because they run away. They are still kids and dismissing a case because they ran away is wrong. Even a runaway deserves to be found. It is terrible what happened to him. I don't know how no one found him or even smelled him.

being the "every parent dream kid" is sooooo heavy to carry around, you feel suffocated even though you have a great family, the expectations are not spoken but you can feel them, is so overwhelming

A girl in my year (we were like 40-50 students max - everybody knew each other) took her own life and it felt so random. Out of the blue, no signs. It was only in hindsight that we noticed things. I don't know the circumstances of her passing as it wasn't my business, I heard some rumours. So I can 100% believe that it came from nowhere in people's eyes. I think I had a chill conversation with her the day before or the day before that. Nothing strange, then, poof She was gone forever. I still have her picture somewhere I believe. I've kept it for 15 years as a reminder of what that choice means and I've never wanted her to be forgotten.

The school … beyond toxic. That poor kid deserved so much more out of life than the stress he faced Kids shouldn’t have so much pressure on them especially when they have to deal with it on their own

When you quoted his mom "I didn't even know what depression was. I thought everything I needed to do is to provide clothes, food and education for my son", made me cry... It just so sad, and relatable, I'm not from East Asia, but from post-soviet country, and emotional state is really neglected here. I just wanted to say how hard it is for young people (not just them), when their feelings dismissed, ignored or they just feel that they have no one to talk to. I hope we, in all countries, will talk more about mental health, but it's long way ahead of us

Love this true crime channel. I especially love the fact that you tell us English speaking audience the stories we miss out on in Asian countries due to them obviously not reported in our English speaking countries and not reported on in English at all. Thanks to you and all your interpreter helpers for translating these cases for us, both culturally and language wise.

The fact that he sound like he was being bullied, and that everyone avoided that area incompetently until he was found all sounds strange, even given the ending circumstance

It's so rare to find a content creator with as much empathy and dedication as Stephanie. Keep yourself safe, healthy, and happy.

As soon as you mentioned that his white shirt was missing and his hoodie was zipped on backwards, and the dogs never picked up a scent, it was solidified in my mind that there's no way that he wasn't murdered and placed there. I was already pretty much convinced when you mentioned that the security footage from that whole night was mysteriously deleted. I just don't get what the motive was...

I went to school undiagnosed. Everything you described is undiagnosed ADHD. This is heartbreaking. We HAVE to normalise mental health ASAP

What I find so heart breaking and bitter sweet is he thought it was meaningless, that no one cared but the whole world cared. The school didn’t but the world did.

It's so possible and honestly normal that his mom didn't know he was struggling. My first year of college was awful and bc I was away from home and not necessarily talking to my mom daily she genuinely didn't know how bad it was. It's super easy for a child to lie in that situation.

The rarest blood type that they were talking about is Rh-null. Also, it is possible that he committed suicide, and was quickly found by school officials who then tried to cover it up to avoid a scandal or taking responsibility. Then, when they realised the case wasn't dying down and the family wasn't going away, they strung him back up so that he could be discovered.

The moment you mentioned in the beginning of your story that he had gone up to the roof, and just stared out for a minute, I knew he had committed suicide. When I was a teen I have similar "issues" and that would have been something I would have done. Turning his jacket into essentially a straight jacket too, might have given him the sensation of being held, and kept him calm. It's not super surprising no one saw the body, things gets over looked in searches when they are UP. People tend to look down, not up, also more people in a search is actually hard because it's difficult to know who looked at what, and to keep to a grid. I have been a part of search teams so I know. It's the school responsibility to have those cameras in good working order, when the principle and vice principle went to go look at the footage and realized it wasn't functioning, it's reasonable that they panicked and might have done some damage control. I am not going to say anymore about this, who i heard it from, but he was wedged, not free hanging, which made him harder to see and his feet were neither pointing down or horizontal due to this positions.

From someone who stayed in a boarding school for 4 years all I can say is I hated it with a passion, it felt like a prison. I feel so bad his parents not knowing why they lost their son is so heartbreaking and devastating. You can tell his mom is really affected just by looking at her videos she was physically worn out. I will definitely keep her in my prayers. 💔

I don’t understand how his pen could have sat there for 3 months and not gotten totally trashed by the rain or blown away or SEEN by someone.

It scares me beyond belief that where a child is at their most vulnerable that something as horrific as this could happen to them. I hope they found peace after they died.

I'll try to keep it short. Just another example, Indian highschooler, an 18 yrs old girl, high-average student whose grades dropped so low that even passing my final highschool exam became questionable. Just within one month prior to that we had college entrances. In that period, from may to june, I went through the darkest phase of my life till date. It's hard to describe what a person goes through and nobody can feel it even if described unless it happens to them. Sadness, guilt of dissapointing parents, self sabotage, scoring the lowest in class repeatedly, pushing friends away, extremely depressing songs, anxiety, insomnia, monsters screaming at 3am every night, insecurities, negativity, major depression, self-harm and.... suicidal thoughts... I didn't let my parents know about any of this even while living in the same house. Have 3 really close friends but couldn't tell cause they were toppers and were having the most important months of exams too. So, I silently withstood everything alone. My entire family is very supportive and encouraging even when I wasn't doing academically good. And couldn't be selfish enough to end things abruptly when I have a little sister to take care of. I don't blame my parents for not knowing my problems since I didn't want them to be extra worried, also even though they are highly educated, they never faced these problems. The academic pressure in countries like India, China and South Korea is HUGE! Not only in school but also during college. And we cannot do anything but learn to deal with it. I am taking a year more for better prep for my college entrace and I'm healing, working on myself, taking little steps and making myself more stronger than before. It's hella hard but it will be worth it. I wrote this for spreading awarness. If you're a student, I understand you. You're brave and you deserve to live a life too, just patiently work on yourself. If you're a parent, my utter request is to understand your child in a better way, show this post of mine and tell him/her I am there for them as an example. If I can fight back so can they. The society is really harsh and you need to understand the time you were studying is different to what now we students are living in. If we all cooperate, I hope that this messege spreads to all those who need it and this saves a life. My dear, you are loved, understoood and worth living for. Don't take any implusive steps. We all have our own wars and we are brave soldiers. Our dreams are waiting for us! Our desinity is waiting for us! We can do it! Fighting!

Such a sad case. But I still find it very difficult to believe that it took so damn long to discover his body. That is what bothers me so much. Also, I wish he could have confided in someone about his feelings and mental state.

The number of suicides is horrifying His personality is very relatable. You dont need bullies, bad living conditions to have thoughts of ending yourself if you are your own nemesis. I know that too well, sadly this boy seemingly did it My family is loving but they never noticed too. And I dont blame them. They couldnt see

This case just left an unsettling feeling in my mind, heart and stomach. 1. The recording/ pen found on the wall sounded “placed for evidence”. (A pen on a wall would stay the same place after 3 months?🤔. Is there no wind in this country?). 2. Students that have been at this shed never “happen to go back there” and stationed guards that worked night and day at this location never saw a thing. 3. Better yet, his last recording was almost midnight. He never walked with his phone or a flashlight. So how was he able to tie two laces firmly enough to hold his body, tie those shoe laces on a branch IN THE DARK, LAY a pen on the wall in the dark. Ohhhh and don’t forget in the child “confessional recording” he SAID that HIS VISION was DETERIORATING‼️ 4. If the white shirt and melted with his decompose body, why was there still a complete jacket? (Shouldn’t be partially degrade or completely too? 5. Why didn’t the decomposing acid not melt the laces or weaken it? (Which means the body would be found on the floor with small fragments of lace). It wasn’t a rope so why🤔 This just sounded like someone harmed him but his “backstory” just fell into it being the PERFECT motive for hanging himself.

When you started stating what he said in the recording pen, I started tearing up. My heart broke for him knowing he was so overwhelmed and under so much pressure due to his academics. I hope he is able to rest peacefully. My condolences to his family as well.

Oh my gosh, Stephanie your story telling is perfection. Am an Auntie/ Grandma --listening and watching you is very animated, riveting and suspenseful. 😮Thank you for sharing.

This happened before at an Italian boarding school, and the kid was a high-ranking government officials son.he decided to stay on campus for spring break, and finally, his mom allowed it. But a week after the students left, he went missing. They searched everywhere for him, and then one day, they found him hanging on a tree right inside the main gate when you came in. He fell from the rope soon as police got there cause his body had been gone too long. The medical examination showed he didn't hang himself he was already gone before that. The family didn't know how you could miss him. No one could. They found out later that he was put there after everyone left. Cause he found out his roommate was doing it with the teacher. So they hid him till everyone was gone.

I love how their relationship has them talking about true crime cases together like this and he spends most of the time listening and putting in some input here and there. I don’t usually comment on other people relationships but I just thought that was a cute little part of it to see.

Wow, I’m so glad I found your videos. You are a great storyteller, and show a lot of compassion and sensitivity to the people involved.

the explanation of him wearing the jacket backwards, ending his life quietly, the writings, and his audio recordings really gave me goose bombs. so deep and so sad. for him to suffer like that at his age, its just so sad. I hope his fam finds peace and hefor him as well.

I also went to a similar boarding school in Vietnam. The system was like this where we were grouped by grades and I was a lucky one to not be at the bottom of the classes I ended up in. This benefits the teachers, but having all your grades public and ranked for everyone to see is detrimental. There were a few students in my school who too jumped to their death due to the pressure of having to perform well for these important exams.

It’s been 3 days since the last video, how is she producing such high quality content so often?? I’ve seen many other channels post once a week and their videos were like 10-20 minutes with no structured planning and research and not as good content in general. This woman is too good for us, thank you so much 💝

How can people attack his grieving mother? I can’t imagine the emotions and pain she’s going through and then to have people who were supportive in the beginning turn on you to the point where you have to leave your family home is so sad. Rest In Paradise Xin❤I pray he’s free now.

I love how your channel covers stories I never even heard of!!! Your channel is very unique and a new favorite of mine!!!!

"What is the point of studying if I can't improve?" hit me HARD. When i was young, I was a "gifted kid," and I started struggling around middle school. My expectations for myself were very high, so it felt like if I couldn't do as amazing as I always had before, I may as well not do it at all. I very nearly didnt graduate at all because of that mindset. As for the odd way his hoodie was on, it may have been a sort of embarrassment. When i was at my lowest, i never wanted people to see me like that. I felt embarrassed to need help, embarrassed that I was doing so badly when others weren't. It could have been some sort of last minute "don't look at me" thing.

Corrections: the student was not found on campus, but a state owned food store house next to the school campus. But that warehouse was supposedly searched at least 3 times. The "park" mentioned is actually more like a natural undeveloped mountain side which the students actually are not allowed to trespass; there are walls separating the school to the "park". The chemistry teacher, on behave of the school, offered 200k RMB to Hu's parents to sign papers to declare Hu ran away. In the past 10 years, at least 7 other kids from the same school also disappeared and never been found again. The school gave money to the parents to sign papers to declare the kids ran away so all the police cases were closed. Hu's case got local attention when Hu's parent contact a local reporter. But after 2 months of fruitless search, things died down. Then a billionaire put up posters in national theaters asking for help to find Hu. Then Hu's body was then found within 3 weeks. His body was found hanging, using his own shoelaces, on a tree inside that warehouse. Official autopsy declared that he died from self-hanging and specifically mentioned that NO organ was missing. BTW, Wu's parents are not rich, the only reason they could afford this boarding school is that the school actually offered a full scholarship to Wu for his first year...

I recently started watching your channel and really appreciate the way you approach these cases. The storytelling is excellent for starters, but I appreciate how you add clarification when it comes to cultural differences that play a part in the story but aren't something an outsider would generally think of. I also really appreciate that you don't state conjectures as facts. It's easy to focus on conspiracies and drama, but it's important to be upfront with what has been proven, what is likely, or what is whispered. As someone who does security at a store, I'm acutely aware of what I can see and prove, what I'm certain happened but can't actively prove, and what I assume might have happened but couldn't say for certain. You're a pleasure to listen to. Kudos to you and your team!

A lot of people are mentioning that no student saw him even if it was a commonly frequented area but his body was found in January, and he went missing in late October. Those are some of the colder months of the year, I don’t know about other people but I wouldn’t take a 1.2 mile walk when it’s freezing out and certainly wouldn’t attempt to climb fifteen feet using cold bricks. Besides people often don’t look up when searching for something, because they don’t expect to find anything above them

"my son is in that school and I want to bring him home but, now we can't even enter this school" something about that description makes this entire case feel so dark and unstable. I can only imagine what kind of hell the mother and the family were in.. losing a loved one, and especially a son, is already unthinkable, but the whole situation and how certain people went about it make me feel like crawling into a pit of darkness. like something so rotten and unbearable is going on.

I don't blame the family at all, but I absolutely hate when people say that you only have to provide food, shelter, and education for your children. No, you need to provide mental and emotional care too. If you don't know that, you're not going to be able to fully provide for your child and give them a good life.

Love how quirky and energetic you are! You keep the viewers such as myself at the edge of our seats waiting for the next part of the story ❤

I really like your channel and I love the way you tell the stories. What I like the most about you is I can actually see the shock, the sympathy, and the empathy on your face while you're telling the stories. I watch true crime stories and I find myself screaming at the TV when I'm angry that they're not doing enough to solve the crime or when it seems they don't want to really investigate it and just let it go to the unsolved pile of crimes . I personally think that is really sad. I also cry for the victims especially when it's a child! Keep up the good work youngin and I just wanna say that you are cute as a button! Congratulations on your engagement and may you and your love❤ have a wonderful and blessed life together 😊

That's so sad. The mom tried to stay with him, but he refused. And he was traumatized by COVID, and honestly I think most people around the world were also traumatized by it all. It's ridiculous he was expected still to take the test while sick. But also more mental health awareness is extremely important.

I've never seen a content creator blessing their viewers so often !! you're doing a great job and make sure not to overwork yourself

Oh, it's so sad but I hope he's in a better place now, free of this feelings and worries. Sending you love.

I just want to say that the depth and detail she provides for each case is so impressive. Genuinely great job bringing these stories to life 👏

My heart goes out to his mother. She tried her absolute best just to have people digitally spit on her. The only thing I can probably do is pray for peace for her and her family. Just to note, I had a brother pass in 2020 and that type of hurt never goes away and my mother will never recover from it. I find it incredible how absolutely no one could have found him on that wall since it was noted that other students climbed on that wall from time to time.

The thoughts he wrote down screamed undiagnosed ADHD to me and that makes me so sad 😞 I don't think people fully understand how much it affects people, teenagers, adults. People usually just think that you bounce around the whole time and can't focus, but ADHD causes so much more. I've felt like that so many times in my life, you feel useless and a failure. It never makes sense until you get a diagnosis and understand that you're not a failure. And this is even when you're doing well! But you know it's not your own best. So so sad. May he rest in peace 😢

I love your channel!! I love your voice and tone. I can listen to these stories all day

While not leaning into any one theory, I resonated so hard with the phonecall to his mother about "I just wanted to cry". Not speaking for everyone, obviously, but it's such a real thing for (some) people living with depression. As one such person myself, there are times when I cry and I really can't say why. I can't explain. I can't put words on the emotions threatening to choke me and burst my chest open, nor do I know what triggered them - all I know is that I am crying and I can't stop until my body/brain decides that we're done. Thank you so much for walking us viewers through these cases. Not only do you speak about them with such respect, but it's evident how much effort and work that's been put down in preparation and research for each and every one. I also appreciate your communication in between each other during the videos: it both highlights and clarifies, but also humanises the involved people and makes (at least in my experience) for a wake-up call that these are real people and crimes we're hearing about. I wish you and your entire team all the best!

"How did you notice?" Because he didn't show it, not everyone dealing with mental struggle shows it that much. I feel bad for both the family and the kid. And to whoever dealing with that sort of struggle, know you are loved. Don't give up on yourself, as long there's a tomorrow, a breath and a heart beat then there's always hope for a better turn to life.

Hi Stephanie (and Stephiance) I’m a long time viewer and I just wanted to say thank you for your incredible hard work recently. My dad passed just over a week ago and your videos are the only thing that have been able to take my mind off of it, so truly thank you for being such an engaging, respectful and dedicated storyteller and creator 💕 Edit: Thank you to everyone in the replies 🙏

'In the choice between incompetence and conspiracy, always choose incompetence' comes to mind when you look at both the search and the police investigation. Not everything is nefarious - sometimes people are just really bad at their jobs. RIP young man... depression is hell and I wish you had got through it but unfortunately it claimed another.

It's not hard to believe that Shin's family doesn't know what depression is. My grandma (mother side) would always claim our father's line of family are just people with mental health problems and doesn't acknowledge that depression is real. My father's side has insane record of depression. The most recent ones are; my grandfather (father side) hanging himself, my cousin attempted via hanging, my father has to take medication because he's too paranoid, and my sister has severe panic attacks and has to get a psychiatrist. This all happen to our family in less than 15 years. It's saddening that older people can't understand or separate mental illness from depression.

It's crazy the hardwork that Stephanie puts on all these videos and all these channels, a lot of content creators upload once a week on one channel only and it's obvious how draining it may be and here's Stephanie uploading constantly high quality videos on diff channels, I love Steph and REALLY appreciate the hardwork

This is such a sad story. When I get suicidal ideation, the one thing that snaps me out of it every time, is to think about the impact it will have on my loved ones. I was talking to my adult daughter about it one day, and she said "Mama, don't you DARE leave me." Those words will stick in my head for the rest of my life.

I really love the way you tell stories. I’m on the edge of my seat!

Such a lovely guy, the world is at a loss with his passing.

It's crazy to me how much informaion [from valid sources] you absorb and retell in such a captivating and personal way to us. And how often you manage to do it, wow. Thank you so much for doing this. It's true that I just watch the videos to pass my time during lunch and when I take some time off from learning for the exams, but I have learned a lot and the various cases made me really think about serious things, pretty sure I'm not the only one. You absolutely deserve all the followers and views, we appreciate your hard work!

I love how Stephanie can paint a very vivid picture of the story in simple words that reach every listener.

I love how well she does her research and her descriptive storytelling. Never a disappointment listening to you!

I love listening to you telling a story. Your videos are fantastic!! New sub ❤

Just caught up to this. He sounded like such a sweet child 😢when you read his notes about how he didnt want anyone to be hurt, and didnt want to bother anyone, not even his teacher my heart broke

I hate how much the public opinion, especially on social media, can just turn on a dime. Everyone goes from supporting the family throughout their search for their son, but as soon as it comes out that he likely committed suicide everyone starts blaming the family who clearly loved their son and just wanted him to be okay. If your child was telling you that their classes were too hard and they wanted to drop out of highschool, most of us would encourage them to stay with it and just keep trying. We would encourage them to not give up, because we understand the importance of finishing their education for a successful future. They even offered to live on campus to try to help him so that he wouldn’t have to worry so much, but he declined. They did everything they were supposed to do as a family, and that was to love and care for him. Now they have lost him forever, and SOME OF YOU ON THE INTERNET HAVE THE AUDACITY TO BLAME THEM FOR THEIR CHILD’S DEATH, AS IF THEY WEREN’T ALREADY BLAMING THEMSELVES AND SUFFERING?? Seriously, what is the goal in saying it’s their fault? Do you want THEM to commit suicide too? Maybe if they did we could all blame YOU for their deaths, and then the needless cycle of suffering can continue with your family having to deal with the guilt? Seriously people, no one knows the true reason why he would’ve taken his life, no one knew but him and he’s gone. If there is ANYONE still trying to blame the family, I implore you to cease in doing so.

I appreciate you and your team taking the time to share these stories, as sad and unfortunate as they may be. Many of us wouldn’t have heard about these, but it highlights cultural differences in various ways. Very interesting overall. Thank you.

Thank you for helping me through tough times with your amazing story telling

Teacher b is way too suspicious . He clearly lacks empathy. Which absolutely makes him capable of murder . And that fact that he’s the principals newphew gives them reason to cover even if the rumours about him aren’t true

I LOVE that you don't click bait. People can find out the full story from your intro and then listen to the details in the longer version. Thank you so much for being an honest channel. Your story telling skills are amazing ❤

This case hurts me everything I hear about it. So devastating.

I think he ended his own life. I don’t think they searched for him no where near as well as they said they did though. The ending is just too existential. I felt it. I get it.

It's absolutely insane that the study hall teacher didn't immediately alert the principal and the principal call the parents. In most public schools in America if you're child is missing from class (1st period) a robot call alerts parents by 10am. At my children's school if they are seen in the morning and not in the afternoon a robot call or teacher will call...if public school does that why do u think it unreasonable for a well funded private boarding school to do the same?

Weird how the dog only started acting weird on that day even though the walks were regular duty

I just discovered this channel and I'm obsessed I just can't believe I've never heard of any of these stories here in the States.. why haven't these stories been told more it's so sad thank you for your content

I love how you narrate and story-tell all these cases

I have a daughter your age that is a successful creator and I just wanted to say I'm so proud of you. You have a gift of communication with sensitive topics with empathy and compassion, the skill of story telling that is brilliantly translated of unbiased emotion, a soothing voice with assurance infliction, a way of educating without triggering, and eye contact that draws in anyone who's ear my start to wander. You are unstoppable with amazing intentions. I appreciate you and recognize your hardworking and compassion. Remember to always take care of you first. Feeling for others as we do often finds you doing for everyone but you. Stay out of the comments and keep grinding. Your gift of public speaking and your platform you are building are going to ensure you are always heard. 👑 so proud. Be proud of yourself. You earned it. Good luck. Stay strong.

I feel so bad for the mother for the backlash she got. No parent would want their kid to die (of course there are some exceptions). Also I find it right that their parents never suspected their son to attempt su*cide, it would be last thing apparent would think of or would want to think of.

As a student his same age and also struggling, often having suicidal tendencies, I definitely shed tears. Poor boy

I LOVE your story telling so much!

We also had a recent case of 'now called suicide' by a 14 year old boy in his school hostel just a few days ago. It's so scary and heartbreaking to witness young people loose hope in the world.

This reminds me so much of the Tanner Ward case. Please take a look into his story too. A young father went missing after a meeting with an old enemy. Found later hoisted high in a tree with mummified hands and his feet/shoes on the ground below. This was a public wooded area where many people had been even days before he was found. It was classed as su*cide and the wind was always blowing the other way to take the smell away.

I have just recently found this great storyteller, and now find myself binging all her older videos. Im glad I found her because, as good as Mr. Ballen is, it's nice to get a new face and voice every once and a while. Well done mam! You are quickly becoming one of my favorites.That said, the title made me think that the school cook, served him as dinner to the other students.😮😂💪👍✌️👏

This is 1 of the most heartbreaking story of a teenager I've ever heard. My prayers are for the family.

I felt like a rock dropped in my gut when you said his mother was deepfaked. While it's horrible that her image was used for scams, I momentarily feared someone pretended to be her son... I'm glad we haven't gotten to that point.

Could you please talk about Sanda Dia, he was a young man from Belgium that got killed while hazing. They made him drink liters of fish oil and made him eat fish that was still alive among other things. They tortured him and said racial slurs to him until he died. They only needed to pay a 400 euro fine and do some community service. For comparison if you don' have a public transport ticket you have to pay a 408 euro fine. The culprits literally got away with murder because they were rich with connections and the Belgian justice system sucks.

This video popped up on my recommendations and I discovered this channel! Been a fan because of this video❤

The rotten mango intro still gives me chills, it’s so good. The intro itself tells you a story

I heard this on Spotify, it's really sad to see what his family went through and what he felt all this time. But personally I think there's more to it than what the police is saying, all these questions that people have are very valid.

i just found this channel and she is amazing. i can't believe she tells these incredibly eloquent, compelling stories in long single take stretches. one of the best storytellers and most thoughtful true crime reviewers on yt for sure

I can’t imagine the pain and impotence his parents must have felt after finding out their son felt like this. Hearing his final thoughts is so heartbreaking

Dealing with depression myself. Please if you know someone you know is dealing with depression or thoughts of suicide please let them know that they are loved, irreplaceable, important, that they are enough. That no matter what they are going through you are there for them and understand and just sit and listen.

I'm never tired of your content Stephanie! Your daily presence means so much to me, I wish you the best!

Could you please do the case of Sanda Dia. He died in 2018 after members of an elite fraternity forced him to drink fish oil, swallow goldfish and stand in an ice-filled trench. this case has been going on for multiple years now and the court has just decided the members (18 white boys) are only getting community service and a fine of 400 euros for the murder.

Your stories are stranger than fiction. You do a fantastic job;

I really love that there's no difference between missing person & runaway. A lot of missing person reports get dismissed as runaway cases.
