At least this kid was able to acknowledge the fact that he had these urges that he couldn't control and asked for help because he didn't want to hurt anyone. It's a shame when parents won't listen to a kid crying for help with their mental help and tell them to just "get over it".
I'm only 1:48 seconds in and it sounds like it was the parents who told him the urges were wrong and it made him hate himself each time he had them and internalized it which built up to a point where it affected him mentally. Like, puberty will do things to a person, that's just natural biology and it is the parents job to explain to him what he feels is normal and to deal with it in an appropriate and healthy manner. It's parents like that who allow children to become dangerous to themselves and society.
2:14, yep he just said it exactly. People like his parents don't need to be "procreating".
happened to me I too cried out for help.dad in my opinion didn't want children loved mom till the end,helped my oldest brother a little some my middle older brother and me absolutely not just enough that is was is actions.in the end the oldest succeeded middle one did too with everything including starting a family and retired...me NO luck in 60 still doing work as a truck driver with no retirement in site and 2 oldest brothers and a father that helped themselves only and me with disabilities
I thought the Bible verse would definitely cure it 🤣
@@thisistheaccountname aa
This is what happens when parents stop listening to a child crying for help and think they know everything because of reading a book. Sometimes blind faith gets in the way of seeing the truth.
That’s the problems. Parents don’t think that their have a say in just because they are kids. If a kid says they are depressed or need help, the parents don’t do anything because they take it personally that their kid is not happy because their methods of parenting comes in question and it attacks them so to not face to that vulnerability; they want to be seen as good parents. In doing so, since parents take it personally that their kid is depressed or in need of help, it’s the kid who ends up having to make the parents feel better while at the same time the kid remains depressed or in need of help with no help provided for him/her. People think that the parents don’t have involvement in the depression a kid feels if they aren’t 18 or above.
Not sometimes, almost all the time!
They are narcissists. Which is why nobody could tell them anything.
Seriously Medicine would’ve helped that boy plus with therapy he would’ve overtime be able to learn to control his urges!
This is what happens when people think God is going to solve everything. And reading him the Bible is going to cure him.
Idk who this actor is, but he did phenomenally. This was such an uncomfortable and haunting performance to watch. So well done
The actor is PHENOMENAL! One minute he’s a poor kid crying out for help and the next minute he looks and acts like a complete monster while talking about the female patient!
I thought it might be real but just a dramatic documentary for a moment.
Absolutely. Idiots who watch nothing but faux reality programming are missing out on transformative acting like this kid’s.
His name is Joey Luthman.
For real and the ending I just felt so uncomfortable
"What did we do?" Nothing. You did literally nothing. Your son reached out to both of you, begging for help with what was troubling him, and rather than help, him you just told him to deal with it himself by praying. If praying really worked there'd be no need for hospitals.
It works, but it takes work to fix things. Not just prayer alone. Prayer is for your worry and fear of the situation you’re in. Working is to try and rule things out while not feeling that fear and worry anymore. They dropped the ball and provoked their child to wrath. Shame on them.
@@breegreenidge841 exactly
@ymarrero23 yessir good luck
@ymarrero23 all these people think that god needs to make us all rich or etc, but god and Jesus are here to guide us through life and to help us. Jesus died for us and we will return to him some day
Yeah like I wouldn't have spent 4 years in school and $200k in loans if I could have just told people to pray to cure their ailments.
His parents are entirely to blame for all of this! They failed to listen to their child that was crying out for help, because they think they know better when they don't!
Pretty much a majority of parents lol
First, while the parents share the blame, they are not responsible for his actions. They had a part in his downfall, but the things he did because so were his own actions. They did not force him. They did not control him.
No. They know better but they didn't understand.
@@barstool9156 I mean they did control him in the sense that they ingrained the belief in him that sex was wrong. this lead to him not wanting to displease his parents but subsequently at the cost of his own sanity. Its not like he was his own individual since the day he was born, and even yet we are molded by what our parents teach us so I think they had more than just a part in his downfall.
Yup!
This is crazy. In another episode, a fourteen-year-old girl, with her parent's consent, is married to a forty-year-old man, and, because she is married the law states that she is able to make her own medical decisions regarding treatment without the consent of her husband or parents. In this episode, we have a male minor, around the age of fifteen or sixteen, who isn't married but is unable to make any medical decisions without his parent's consent. The law in some countries/states is so messed up & contradictive.
Right. Because when she got married she was basically emancipated from her parents and your spouse can't make medical choices for you.
@@rubyszpeflicki3800 And yet, it is not a given that at fourteen one is more emotionally mature due to the state of marriage alone than they are at fifteen or sixteen & unmarried. As I said, the law is messy & full of contradictions.
I'm not sure if any men, other than sex offenders, should be able to chemically castrate themselves.
It depends on the state. In some states if a minor married an adult, the adult spouse is now that child’s legal guardian. The only emancipation is medical similar to teen moms. The teen mom can make medical decisions for her child but she is still legally a minor.
@@CAthRIn4200 Unfortunately it's also messy & flawed.
Poor, brave kid. He was so scared of the day his will would break that he decided to remove that day. Even at the risk of death, he was DETERMINED to not let himself hurt an innocent girl. That takes courage.
lmao they are actors. . this ain't real
@@jamedlock83 no shit Sherlock
You realise this is a drama? It’s not real
@@Filthpirate idk, some people are like that. There was a lady on Dr. Phil who had an underage step son who had aggressive sexual urges and had attacked younger kids. Might be from abuse as a kid, might be genetic, it’s hard to tell. Biggest thing is to identify it and work with them to keep them from abusing others.
@@jamedlock83 yeah we know, but in all honesty this stuff DOES happen
As a Christian it breaks my heart that parents just force feed the whole sex to hell concept without properly explaining how these urges are natural and not to be ashamed of it.
Nowhere does it say that having urges will land you in hell, its perfectly normal. It is when you act on these urges such as unwanted touching and rape etc, is when you will land in hell.
Perfectly said.
He wanted to act on it
His religion only exacerbated the underlying problem - he's a born predator. Fortuantely he had the conscious to act on himself before acting on others.
@@rachelgeorge5751 but he also wanted to prevent himself responsibly with the chemical castration, if his urges were that powerful he was taking the right path, his parents are to blame here.
@@rachelgeorge5751 Because of his parents horrible teaching
His sexual impulses became so strong from being repressed for so long from his parents' views that sex is only for procreation, and since he couldn't get the temporary chemical castration, by trying to cut off his testicle he was essentially following Matthew 5:29-30: "If your right eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. And if your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be cast into hell."
I think that verse is figuratively. Also I think extreme cases of self harm like this are from mental illness brought on by many host of life/family problems/false dogma not the idea of sex is just for one thing it self. I think Most men who get Chemically castrated are those who do so for cancer reasons self hatred or sexual deviancy. A smaller group do it for cult like religious reasons thinking God want them to do it. It’s pretty sad
Bruh the bible is so dark
@@nibirue It can be Pretty Light and Pretty Dark unfortunately That’s how the nature of this World is.
@@nibirue
Dark is an understatement.
What is more tragic is that quote is so often used out of context. It’s Jesus being a smart ass to some guys being like, “Oh well Jesus how can stop myself from pervin on chicks when they look like that?” Oh is it such a problem for you? Cut out your eye then and stop blaming the woman since YOU can’t help yourself apparently.
Felt sorry for the kid, his parents should have listened in the first place he tried to warn them of what he’d do
Most parents are crazy narcissistic control freaks
The actor playin Eliot is PHENOMENAL!!! One minute he’s a poor kid who’s crying out for help and the next minute he looks like a complete monster while looking at and talking about the girl in the hospital bed.
Why would he choose THAT moment to tell them it's called "chemical castration"?! He knew what their faith taught, he must've known the word "castration" would set them off, and that telling them "this drug will make your sexually deviant son more likely to abstain from premarital sex" would produce a favorable response. His sense of timing sucks.
That might be seen as leading or manipulating the parents if the parents later found it's called chemical castration they could sue for the doctors not being fully honest with them.
The job is to inform and not convince and stay professional & medical. But I agree, your approach would have worked.
they had to be truthful
because this TV series only wants to try and make the parents look bad.
@@applesas942 but the thing is, it wouldn't be a lie. And I very much doubt there would be a case. Oh, I found out there's a term for it, chemical castration...well, there's other terms out there too. Puberty blockers, for instance. Just because it's referred to as something with a potentially inflammatory term, doesn't mean you have to be told that term. If the effects of the drug are explained, with risks/benefits discussed, the doctors have absolutely fulfilled their duty.
It would be like if you had to warn people that oh by the way, in addition to the actual description I just gave you for how it works, you should know that nitrous oxide is also known as laughing gas. Or nitroglycerin is also an explosive. Or ketamine is also known as "special K." It provides limited value, if any value at all, to the conversation, and distracts from the important points that should've been emphasized about how it works and the actual risks of taking it vs not taking it.
Wow, that was really thought provoking! I saw a documentary about a psychiatrist who believed that pedophiles were mentally I’ll and should be given treatment early on before they act on their perversions. And without being made to feel like a monster but rather someone who is ill. They interviewed several offenders who claimed they fought hard to resist their urges and hated themselves for the way they felt but were too scared to tell anyone.
I heard a podcast where there are groups of folks who say they want help, they gather online to explore options to get treatment, and hold all members of the group accountable if they violate stated boundaries/rules before they act on their urges. The folks brave enough to discuss this seemed rational and well-meaning.
@@shesadg1 there should be more help available and treatments. I imagine one of the biggest issues is mandatory reporting. If someone were to tell their psychologist that they had a fantasy about their neighbours child for example would they have to report said child to protective services as a child in danger? Perhaps an anonymous letter could be sent to the parents stating ways to help keep their child safe. It would be terrifying to receive such a letter but I’m sure most people would rather know. And just knowing the parent is aware of the risk would likely be a deterrent.
Yeah this exists in other countries. In Germany we have a movement called "Nicht Täter werden" that means "to not become an offender". They offer therapy and support groups. But in the US that would probably be hard to implement because you don't have free healthcare and who would pay for this.
@@_justbreathe_6560 surely it would be cheaper than the court costs and prison costs once they offend? I’m in Australia and we have free healthcare too.
@@nicolemitchell446 America is a really backwards country. A lot of people like the parents in the video are responsible.
the fact the kid was even brave enough to say whats wrong with him and asked for help but his parents denied is horrible.
As a therapist myself, I honestly don't think I could keep my cool like Dr. Charles does if those parents asked me "What did we do wrong?" After having told them what the right thing was given what their son wanted and them refusing, and especially given the drastic act that he was willing to commit to accomplish what his parents weren't willing to do for him. Stupid, stupid people motivated by absolute ignorance. I have no patience for people like that.
As a therapist you wouldn't recommend therapy and medication first over medical castration? Castration has some big side effect to a kid that developing age.
@@mustangcody therapy was part of the proposed treatment plan, as well as medication (the chemical castration)
@@mustangcody he said that he was a danger to himself and others. That's enough in many cases to get him remanded in a care facility. Cutting someone's hair and stalking is already a serious escalating behavior pattern. It's not an unreasonable course of action at all. Especially as it is his request.
@@kellharris2491 not the first course of action either. Not even second or third... Especially for a kid brought in with some bruises.
If he is really fked up, get him into mental institution or therapy and even BEFORE that check if there's something physically wrong with him... It's not normal for teens to get rapy and chop off dik. Castration is the last thing they should be talking about...
His parents shouldn’t have been so selfish
Not as bad as some parents that literally dumped their sons on the streets because their FLDS leaders tell them to do so that there will be less competition for girls.
This is why people need to talk to their children.
My ex had these issues with controlling his sexual fantasy even though he promised himself and god that he wasn’t going to do it. His parents would often get mad at him for the things he would do. They didn’t let him take Sex Ed because they wanted to teach him themselves.
He was often critical of women that sex outside of marriage.
He repressed his sexual thoughts so much that they came out little by little. I remember an argument we had when he wanted to fool around in the backseat after a date. Simple groping. He went home and cried and begged for forgiveness.
He told his parents so they would forgive him.
It also doesn’t help that he’s autistic and we have strong sex drives.
It’s still not an excuse.
I feel for the kid that his parents would not listen to him.
Wow that’s crazy, I hope he got help. People with autism have high sex drives? I’ve never heard that.
@@jennahyser7245 He turned in a H03. See he judged every female for their sexual history but his own aint pretty. He lost his virginity at age 30 to his friends neighbor while she was asleep on the couch. Then turned around regretted it and discovered he was still in love with the friend that was on the couch asleep.
@@jennahyser7245 Its very high for males on the spectrum. Most can control their urges, but some are left to their own devices and without proper talking or guidance one of two things happen. 1. they become incels, 2. bitter.
@@jennahyser7245 It also didn't help that he was extremely sheltered and impulsive. Thats what happens when parents keep a child from exploring the world.
I am autistic I have been troubled by religious all my life until very good recently it was not my parents fault it was that church school I went to much of what is in the Bible not of God if god did not want people to have sex did you make it essential for reproduction it makes sense that God wants people to have sex not just for reproductive reasons st. Paul it is essential for maintaining a marriage this is not completely true some married couples manage perfectly well without sex or at least without intercourse there is nothing in the Bible to condemn oral sex it can be very useful because it gives a lot of pleasure to women to be liked and two it prevents pregnancy
*This Doctor:* You know in my experience, it doesn't help to look at what you could have done and just focus on what you can do now.
*Dr. House:* Well, we tried to safely chemically castrate him but mommy and daddy thought that praying the testosterone away was a better solution. You've got no one to blame but yourselves.
yeah needed that, some people are just so incredibly self centered and stupid they need a sassy and cold person to fix them
YES, this sounds so much like House I even read that in his voice...!
The house impression is very accurate, lol
ah a fellow House M.D watcher. Pleased to meet you
that is definitely something Dr. House would say
"How did this happen? What did we do?" You gave him religious trauma that told him any sexual urges are wrong when they're natural so they manifested to the point of fantasizing over rape and peeping because he had to be secretive over his desires, then when he wanted a chemical castration to control his urges, you said no and that god would take care of it and continued to use religion to try and suppress his desires so he decided to take it into his own hands. There's a reason that kids that go to Catholic high schools in America tend to be some of the best at sneaking out and living double lives. Idk about the rest of the world, but the girls I know that continued on to Catholic high schools were all eating each other out in the bathrooms ✌🏻
LOL WHAT? I went to an upper middle class all girls Catholic school, not one single person was having sex in the bathroom. You must’ve confused that with a shitty public school lol
@@alliesabia2096 you do realize that your one experience doesn't mean it doesn't happen
@@alliesabia2096 I was raped when I was 12. My sister wasn't. Therefore, I am a liar and wasn't raped when I was 12 because my sister wasn't. If she says it doesn't happen, then it doesn't happen. Child rape cannot exist unless every child is raped.
Lol. Shut up.
Lol, more power to 'em!
DEFINITELY a moment when we needed Dr. House.
Facts because those parents are complete idiots for not listening to their son
Worst part is those would be the same parents defending their son's actions if he actually attacked someone... refusing to listen to your child about their mental health is a moral failing as a parent.
You know they'd blame the victim for tempting him away from God. This child is desperate for help.
“So a kid got beat up. What does he need a therapist for?” THE THINGS ID LIKE TO DO TO THIS MAN IF I WERE CRAZIER.
These parents did nothing. Absolutely NOTHING. If they had listened then their son wouldn't have done that.
When your child is screaming out for help and you don't care. And of course she read him a Bible verse.
When somebody reaches out and askes for help you take it seriously. Imagine all the crimes we could prevent if the perpetrators asked for help before they did anything.
I dont know if it was just me, but what I got from the body language was an interesting story. Taking out the religious aspect of this, the dad immediately shuts down at the mention of castration (chemical or otherwise). He doesn't like the idea of his own son not having high testosterone, because he views it as cruel and unnatural.
But it looked like mom was hesitant. At the mention of rape, she looked like she wanted to favor the chemical castration for the sake of other women, and her own son.
It's sad to think about, but knowing how it works in super religious homes, Mom wouldn't have any say in her own thoughts against her husband.
Some people don't even want to castrate their dogs/cats cause they feel like their pets balls define their own manliness, so it's not far fetched.
@@random_meta Yeah, that's honestly the vibe I got from the father. As if their son represents their own manliness. And the mom, as a woman, understands the fear of rape more than her husband, so she'd want to go through with it but she has to stay quiet because she's not allowed to speak out.
Really and how many religious homes are you actually familiar with? Plenty of religious couples respect each other and parent as a team.
@@Rivracost3 a lot, actually. And if you read my comment, you'd have seen the part saying "taking _out_ the religious aspect". The reality is in super strict homes like this, the family is taught that the husband is the head and the wife is submissive and isn't allowed to have a say. It's very common.
I went to youth group since I was a young teenager, and I saw many respected couples. But this is not one of those couples.
The dad said "wait til we get home". I may be misinterpreting but I understood "I'll beat him when we get home". To me, it sounded as if the father was ashamed that his son might be interested in girls, maybe pre-marital sex is forbidden in that family and he wanted to control that with physical violence?
when i was younger i loved medical shows, but i've come to hate them. the doctors can never just tell the parents how bad they are. and when they do they get reprimanded and go "oh i am so sorry you're right i shouldn't have said that."
No. no you should exactly tell them what horrible parents they are.
Thats why i really enjoyed Dr House.
Not always. It's psychological. If patient will fully understand how bad their behavior is, it can straight up lead to worsening of the situation, as well as forcing them to go to the police. Some people can be extremely sensitive to this kind of things.
He needs them to go forward being proactive in their son's care. If he shames them they might shut down and never listen to anything he says.
honestly as a nurse it’s more accurate to see doctors be uber polite and submissive than be like dr house. healthcare is basically customer service so you can’t be insulting your customer/patient
Same, it's one of the many reasons why house is above the rest of the medical shows for me
I've always disliked them because my dad is an EMT, and with even the incredibly basic level of medical knowledge that gives me I am painfully aware that most of the technical stuff is wrong, often dangerously wrong.
This is why people who have these urges should be able to seek therapy without stigma. The taboo and stigma surrounding predatory behavior/thoughts of committing violent acts is what allows it to happen.
I agree and unfortunately these people turn into monsters shunned by society because they were never taught that it’s okay to get help for these urges. Society hurts bad people instead of helping them to stop and be a good member of society. You can’t take away previous actions but you can prevent future actions
I appreciate any person, especially a young person, who has the sense of self to recognize when something is so wrong with them, and when they’re brave enough to admit it and ask for help. I know this is a show but how can any parent hear that their kid could be capable of something like that and still deny a TEMPORARY fix?
That’s the problems. Parents don’t think that their have a say in just because they are kids. If a kid says they are depressed or need help, the parents don’t do anything because they take it personally that their kid is not happy because their methods of parenting comes in question and it attacks them so to not face to that vulnerability; they want to be seen as good parents. In doing so, since parents take it personally that their kid is depressed or in need of help, it’s the kid who ends up having to make the parents feel better while at the same time the kid remains depressed or in need of help with no help provided for him/her. People think that the parents don’t have involvement in the depression a kid feels if they aren’t 18 or above.
Parents: don't listen to their kid about these issues and straight up ignores him
Also Parents: kid self harms
"How could this happen" shocked pikachu face
No bc when my parents found out about my self harm they were all "you have such a good life compared to others" *shocked pikachu face*
Sigh
The fact that there was a reversible and better option but they declined.
I like that he knew what he was going through was not normal
Too bad the parents could not acknowledge and do thier part
It's because of religion. It ruins their ability to make logical decisions because they think God will fix it.
@@nataliedandy1096 This is just incorrect...You'd be more correct if you pointed out the fact that Parents can't comprehend their own child being capable of something that horrible.
These people were negligent in their duty as parents, otherwise the issue wouldn't have progressed this far.
For years I was told that it was my husband fault of me dealing with depression. We both feared getting the diagnoses of bipolar for fear of being look down upon by the church. They convinced me tha God hated me. Everyone in my family has either bipolar or manic depression, so we know its hereditary. My husband finely told me that we had enough and went to the doctors and as we thought had a diagnosis of bipolar and started taking meds.
My husband went to school to be in the ministry. He was to be a pastor in our church but the other pastor, and he told the other pastor what's going on with me just for some support. Right then I was never good to be a pastors wife with that pastor of our church. When my husband saw how the pastor and his wife treated me he had enough. What was being taught at that church was not the gospel. We left and we were not the only ones. 3 other family saw the abusive teachings how he treated others and the fact that the gospel is not even being taught. Now were are at a church were the pastors understand mental illness and don't put any guilt about it on us, they dont judge us. They even said to my husband that because I'm dealing with this illnes dosen't me he is disqualified to be a pastor. They told him that actually going through this will help others. Once we heal from our last abusive pastor they hope to put my husband on as a pastor. I get upset when parents dont talk to there kids about mental illness and heck going threw puberty and what their going threw is something the everyone goes threw. We just cant let it control their live. Were are not perfect and God doesn't expect to be perfect.
Bipolar runs in my family too, I struggle with anxiety and depression and finally we are at a church where it’s not seen as a symptom of ongoing sin. Or something they just look at you dumbfounded like they don’t know what to do with you. The person who has it is more unipolar so they lean more towards one side then the other so they were diagnosed later then most. I have physical disabilities, mental illness is just a disability of the brain, a chemical I’m imbalance it doesn’t excuse bad behavior as the person with it would say themselves but it CAN affect your behavior. Through Christ we have the power to overcome sun, but those with mental illness just have to fight harder to over those issues. I don’t envy what they go through.
Yeah. We live in a fallen world. We have sickness and hardship of all kind. It is the normal part of life. It's not God punishing us. God understands all are pain and sorrow. If it is his will he will heal you. If not he will still ease your suffering so you can endure it. He helps in many ways including doctors, medications, counseling etc.
If this was my son I’d seek intensive therapy for him. Poor guy, he understands this is a dangerous impulse and he doesn’t know how to help control it.
I love how the parents immediately wonder what they did to deserve it 😒😒
Obviously the parents never read Song of Solomon...that is some spicy stuff and clearly shows that sex is for procreation and enjoyment. They picked and chose what they wanted to the point of damaging their child. Repression to that point is so damaging and goes beyond just self control. Throwing verses at a kid who is struggling doesn't solve the problem at all and can make it even worse because the parents denied that there was even a problem.
This is what happens when parents don’t listen to their kids.
I had a classmate that was going to do this in front of the student body during changing class time but a teacher saved him and us. We did not know why we had to remain in class until we were told we could change class. He was very picked on for being gay. He was taken out of school and was homeschooled.
Children can be extremely cruel. I dealt with these patients. They have low self confidence, a lot of suicidal thoughts to the point where they don't want to live just to end this constant bullying
Teens and kids can not fully understand most of the time how harmful their words are for other kids.
That’s terrible :(
🙏🤍
They saved him not y’all. But yeah, it would be not fun to be in a situation like that. Especially for him.
@@Artandcolorsx more like, they saved them by helping him. it could’ve led to a worse reaction you don’t know of.
Boy needs removed from their custody.
Hell yeah those parents is stupid asf
"How did this happen? What did we do?"
Well gee, I dunno, you refusing the treatment your son was begging for and making him desperate comes to mind.
should have brought up "God helps those who help themselves."
Had these thoughts for about a year, when I was 16-17, during which time I had started ADHD medications, trial and error type where you switch doses and or meds if they don't work, similar to depression meds, anxiety etc. They actually caused depression, obsessive thoughts about girls I liked, suicidal thoughts which were strengthened by the fear of hurting one of them, etc. Now I'm past that, and am 100% back to normal I realize that just because you get thoughts doesn't make you a bad person, it's how you act on or react to them that does.
I feel bad for the kid. He understood the fact that he had a problem and dealt with it in a painful way because his parents refused to see any wrong in the matter. It might have ended brutally but at least the parents and doctors can now see that there's a problem need fixing asap.
I can't stand parents like this. The fact that this kind of stuff happens in real life is so sad.
It absolutely breaks my heart! That poor boy should've been able to make his own medical decision in this case.
This is the parents' fault and they should know that.
And this is why we don’t treat mental health like a joke
It's amazing how you don't have any autonomy over your body as a teenager. I've had my autonomy removed multiple times and its an awful place to be.
I have harm OCD and I always wonder if I’m a horrible person for having thoughts like the kid did… I would never dream of even perving on girls watching them changing like he did, but any media covering people with dark thoughts like him chills me to the bone, because I always wonder, “Am I a monster?”
I’m plagued with harmful thoughts about children. Because of my OCD. I’m always wondering am I a monster? I know exactly how you feel and I can assure you that you are not a monster.
If I was the psych I would have talked to him about an emergency medical emancipation so he can make his own medical decisions
The really sad thing is that this does happen in real life, and there are very few options for non adults.
When you choose your ego before your child.
Parents knowing their children...famous last words
What a man! Doing it yourself takes guts, especially since he did it so fast.
WHAT
@@cutestgirlintown he praises the boy for making a choice for the sake of others at the cost of his own health. in this case, a noble decision that shouldnt have had to be made at all.

I have always said if people like this boy, were given a safe space to talk about urges that worry them, perhaps they could be treated and some, future victims, may be saved from bad events in life. But sadly having 'unnatural' feelings is seen as such a bad thing, these people are shamed into being silent until the day they can't control it and go too far. Safe spaces need to be made where these people aren't shamed for what they feel, and are instead praised for coming forward and helped to live as normal a life as possible.
This is heart breaking. I feel incredibly sorry for him! It makes you think are other rapist or psychopaths created by parents going to far.
Most are, people usually aren't born that way, sadly.
Sometimes it's nature or nurture. Other times a bit of both. Unfortunately some people are genetically predispositioned for certain mental illnesses. But there are lots of people who are able to manage their psychopathy with the help of professionals.
It's safe to say this situation was definitely brought on by the parents though. It was irresponsible of them to chose to ignore the problem instead of letting him see a therapist like the doctors suggested
This is fiction...
@@AS-yz2iz just because it’s fiction doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen irl. did you read the part of their comment where they said that psychopaths/r*pists can stem from this exact parenting? lol…
@@quorrasonaallol. And do they have a psych degree? There was an agenda in making this.
What do you do? YOU LISTEN TO YOUR KID!!!!
wow "what did we do?" you and your overbearing religious nonsense did this... be religious.. but to be a fanatic? thats mental...
Being religious at all is mental.
I completely disagree with your statement.
you can be absolutely in love with Jesus and not have premarital sex and still not desire to rape women. you can’t blame Christ.
everyone is religious, it’s just the object of your worship. even an atheist is religious, they worship themselves or other things.
@@ari9525 atheists and agnostics dont worship anyone
These parents are pathetic
Emotions and hormones are like water pressure, you let it build up it’ll blow
Sadly if this really happened the parents wouldn’t ask “what did we do”. They would say their son was under spiritual attack and needed a pastors help.
I feel so bad for this kid. If you ask me, I am thoroughly convinced that his parents horrible use on the sexuality or what caused him to become like this. With enough therapy and time I feel like he could get over his issues and actually have a healthy normal sex life. That doesn’t involve him hurting anyone. But like I said, his parents ruined him, and he usually does himself to prevent his warped ideas from causing him to hurt someone. He’s a good kid because he was willing to mutilate himself to prevent him from hurting someone. Its just so sad.
This is why you listen to your kids
Dang that doctor kicked open the door like it was nothing 😱
The part in the bathroom was so uncomfortable and sad to watch cuz he couldn’t control his urges so to the religious trauma he had at home 😢
Good lord this was a hard one to watch. Poor kid. His parents are 100% to blame
In my province at age 14, you have control over your own medical choices. Your parents get no choice in the matter, they can counsel you if you so choose but can not act or force you to or not to do a medical procedure. In my third year, we learn about vaccines which is the year we turn 14 and the year we are to receive crucial vaccines to help against major illnesses and may receive ones missed in childhood if you're parents disagreed (for free + schedule an appointment if you need more than four). I got my first covid vaccine through my high school but my second I received in another province where the age of consent is 18. I was 17 at the time and my mother had to consent for me. Nothing has ever made me feel so violated in a medical setting before, I almost had to leave as I was feeling so nauseous. I can't imagine what that poor young man must be feeling.
But do they allow men to request chemical castration there?
What province are you in?
@@Vardalon as he said, "you have control over your own medical choices"
@@lewismiller870 That doesn't mean a doctor has to do anything that somebody requests.
@@Vardalon If you choose to do so, they're obligated to do it.
Poor Elliot. His parents aren't listening! And his dad is scary. "Wait till I get him home." 🤯🤯🤯 he will probably beat his urges out of him. Gosh! Some people aren't meant to be parents!!!!
It doesn't hurt the kid nor the parents, why would they not agree to chemical castration if they're so against him having sex??
Unfortunately the term Chemical Castration probably made them shut down. In their (the parents and anyone who thinks this to be specific) world, if anything hinders a boy growing into their ideas of a "Man" then its wrong and unatural even though it was completely reversable. Also thinking that their God can fix everything.
theyre only against sex if hes not married.
otherwise, f-ck away
"What did we do?"
Nothing.
That's the problem.
Your son was crying out for help and you ignored him, saying prayer would fix it all.
I know doctors are supposed to be professional, but being nice and just allowing toxic behaviour to continue is exactly how it continues while the patient is no longer hospitalized.
this is why i think parental permission shouldnt be required for medical decisions after age 16. the idea that in 2 years you'll magically be able make better decisions for yourself is ludicrous
Okay folks, unless the drugs have changed in the past decade, what I learned about chemical castration is that it keeps the body from "functioning" but the urges, which come from the brain, do not go away.
Testosterone is literally the drive in sex drive. The hormone TELLS the brain to perform sexually. This is why men have a high sex drive (women also have testosterone at varying levels for sex drive). For criminals their "sex drive" is usually inspired by the need for violence and domination, and this desire may not be turned off with chemical castration.
@@truenokill And isn't that why some people believe homosexuality is simply the result of a hormonal imbalance?
@@Vardalon I don't think anyone thinks that. All roads are pointing to genetics but we are not quite there.
@@Vardalon Homosexuality has nothing to do with sex drive tho. It just means you're attracted to the same gender, you can have high or low drive still whether you're gay or not.
Same with asexuals, it's common to be perceived as hormonal imbalance, while there are many of us who had their hormones medically checked and all of the results are coming back completely fine.
oh my god that was disturbing. my heart skipped a beat once I saw all the blood…
Poor kid he’s a good actor :( the actor is adorable tho
I'm proud of him, I wish more guys in my school were more aware
Maybe your school needs to offer better support so these boys don’t go now bill and hurts others or themselves.
This breaks my heart, omg.
ew this is traumatizing
Now this is disturbing! Joey Luthman was so amazingly realistic in playing that disturbed boy! I hope he got some kind an award nomination for his performance!
The poor kid he really was scared from the idea of what he could become and the parents need to be more supportive and have a talk with their kid about it
This is awful. How can people be like this?
i hate how this show never continues patient storylines i was so invested in this one
I SCREAMED SO LOUD
This is really sad. He is in a terrible place Spiritually. Trying to save his Soul fighting off a Demon that his parents ignored blatantly. He was screaming for help! But that Thing eating away at his Spirit was doing its damned worst to destroy him. Many creeps embrace their Demons, and let them fully take over. If someone is doing their best to fight them off, and for help the mean it. Powerful scene.
Parents need to listen to their kids , growing up is the hardest thing a child goes through . They need someone to talk to and someone that will listen to their fears . Why didn't this boys parents listen to him !?
I really hope to be like this doctor someday. He has compassion and the whole world would benefit by being more like him.
Which one Dr. Choi or Dr. Charles. Also we need a House MD in this world
This reminds of that Law & Order SVU episode where this teen boy wanted himself arrested so he wouldn’t touch his brother.
And atleast this guy was self conscious and knew what he was doing was wrong
Everyone's talking about the horrible parents but how tf did that girl not wake up
HELP FR THO
she might have been in a coma but i thought that too
@@sarahheverdeen that what I was thinking but normally whem someone is in a coma the intubate them just in case so idek
@@LilKitten9620 true maybe she’s a deep sleeper 🤷♀️😀
this is so hearbreaking
This was intense the actor was phenomenal
Chemical castration is not temporary, nor is it reversible.
I disagree. You have to look back to make sure you don’t the same unhelpful thing you were doing before. Otherwise, with these types of people, they try to force or bulldoze their way into “making it better” or implode.
He should’ve told them the truth that they didn’t listen
this is so sad & heartbreaking.... as a mom, it'd be really difficult... but I would never want to leave that kind of stain on Earth .. but then again I also wouldn't want him to harm himself so profoundly 💔
Never seen this show, but this broke my heart.
Ah, I see a big part of his trouble is religion. Parents can be toxic without religion, but religiously toxic parents are supported by a church community. Time to call CPS, maybe give the kid the chance for medical emancipation or the chance to sign himself into a facility.
Parents like this are ridiculous they're just think about one outcome and what they think is best for them not for him cuz if they had told me that about my son I would do that to help cure his mental state and it cracks me up that the father goes what happened you was what happened none of that would have happened if you would just let him do what he asked
Teenagers face the hardest challenges between their mind body and soul. Everyday seems insurmountable and without a great support system they have a very hard time getting through those years successfully.
OOO that scene when he did something to his winky it made mine go all tingly.
