Florida Judge Gives Timothy Ferriter Light Sentence For Abusing His Adopted Son

- čas přidán 15. 11. 2023
- Judge Howard Coates made a downward departure Thursday when sentencing a Florida father who was convicted of abusing one of his children. Timothy Ferriter was sentenced to 60 months in prison, followed by a five-year probation, for physically abusing his adopted son with a belt and confining him to a crate-sized room. The room only locked from the outside and the child would sometimes have to use a bucket for a bathroom. Ferriter's wife, Tracy Ferriter, was arrested for similar charges and has yet to go on trial.

Way to let the children know that their safety is less important than their abusers freedom and comfort. So very disappointed!!!!!!
This judge is an embarrassment to our courts. Retire judge we don’t need you.
Well said. I completely agree. Let's hope the prosecution appeals this sentence. TF deserves at least 20 years imo
Ignorance speaks ignorance. The judge has more experience and wisdom in his pinky then anyone of us spectators will have in a lifetime.
@@JeanneGuarnieri-vs7zn speak for yourself...
@@JeanneGuarnieri-vs7znSo it is ok to abuse children?
Justice was served by the jury and the judge ruined it!!!!!
Amen!!!! Yes!!! And they all smile at the end!!! Disgusting!!!!!!
Absolutely judge needs to retire
Justice was NOT served. Terrible, he basically got away with ruining a child's life.
5 years in prison is not nothing. his son forgave him
Ruining several kids lives!
@@Manu_Lemoine_FR It's state prison. He will be out after 2½ years!!
@@Manu_Lemoine_FRYes it is for ABUSING a child.
if he lived in a trailer the sentence would be way longer
Also if he was a person of color, he would have a much longer sentence.
You dropped the ball on this one Judge!
The good thing I heard, was when the Psychotic Narcissist Child Abuser said that the inmates are making him a target every day.
Thank you inmates.
👏🏻
Yes thank you
👍👍
Yes, let's thank the inmates, even they think what Tim did is worse than the judge did! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
@@LDiamondz👏👏👏👏 excellent!
The jury has been let down by this judge.....so much for justice!
Excellent point
Shameful 😡
*Exactly!!* 🤦♀️
What do you expect, it is Florida.
Shame on this judge,I lost the respect I had for him,what is wrong with him.
He seems infatuated with the handsome defendant...oh, judge also explained that he depended on a MOVIE TO HELP HIM DECIDE !!
He is as sick as the defendant.
@@gracejones2831 Maybe paid off?
Wow just wow
@@tinaschultz1976 My words exactly! I kept thinking I must have missed something.
This is ABSOLUTELY WRONG, COMPLETELY UNJUSTIFIED SENTENCE!! He should have gotten at LEAST 15 YEARS NO LESS!! WTF is wrong with the so called JUSTICE in this country??
It’s crooked
this is just what most parents did as discipline until relatively recently in history
@@JamesC1981Umm.Seriously?? Locked their kids in a box in the garage with a bucket? Right!! OKAY. Never heard of ANYONE having done that, no less saying "most parents!"
You are absolutely over reacting.
I completely agree with you
The judge showed more mercy and compassion towards him than he had for his son. Tim's statement he read was absolutely appalling. No accountable and very little remorse. He carried on like he was the victim in this situation and you could see the relief on his face as he watched RF after his statement. His son forgave him but not once did he ask for forgiveness from his son. Unfortunately, 5 years in prison and those courses he's been mandated to take will not make any difference. The judge and his son rationalized Tim's actions and his flaws but Tim refuses to see them. I'm glad the girls got away from this family. After watching both grandmas in court today, I'm convinced the majority of this family is just toxic.
I am glad the prosecution reserved the right to appeal the sentence.
His son forgave him but not once did he ask for forgiveness from his son… wow, what a pos
Where did you see the prosecution will appeal the sentence?
This judge is scum
@@MTLTV-eu4nv I probably jumped the gun a little, she made an objection to the sentence which will allow them to appeal the sentence if they want 26:40
Very well said!
This Judge needs to be FIRED now. Floridians get this man out of your Court systems NOW immediately
SAD. One of this judge’s points was, oh he was not a bad dad all the time. If a murderer tells you, oh i killed only one time but rest of my life i was a good citizen, would you have given him lesser punishment? What a disgrace. I hope the kids find some peace somehow and get to forget about this monster.
That part TICKED me off!!! I was raised in horrible domestic violence. There were times we had fun, but it was few and far between and has NOTHING to do with what we endured. This is so shameful! 😡
Absolutely. And, oh I didn’t beat my son all day long, just part of the day so part of the day i was a good dad…??? What the?
This sentence is insulting. Is this because this boy is adopted ?
Omg
I think the judge got it exactly right. This father won’t do anything like this again.
I think this judge is a wuss. Let's put him in an 8x8 room and let him live like this boy did. I'm absolutely disgusted by this judge's rationale for why he felt the need to rule the way he did. Downward departure? Seriously?
So according to this judge if you have a bad childhood you're somewhat justified to act out in any heinous way you choose. People in this jurisdiction need to get this child-abuser-lover out of office.
Well said TY
So if the victim will commit crimes due to being TFs son, will they let him walk, BC he was a victim?!?! Highly doubt it.
Look how smug the ferret is. He turns and does a head nod.
The only thing the judge got right is that there is no remorse.
What a disgrace - this is justice?? 🤢👎🏻 In state prison he'll get out after 50-60% of the sentence. This means he'll be out in 2¹½ years!!! And this after the jury gave him guilty verdict in all 3 count of charges and NO REMORSE!! After the letters of the daughters I cried so hard. He ruined his sons life forever and both of his daughters lived in fear for years and years. Even the biological daughter doesn't want to see this monster ever again. Tim locked the son he called "asian kid" up when he was 11 yrs old and it continued in FL. This wasn't "only" about 6 weeks. And the granny that adopted the 3 yrs old youngest child is not credible. She won't do what the court says. I'm more than disappointed with the judge. I pray for the children and hope the 2¹½ years will be Tims biggest nightmare.
Yep, his wife's trial is coming and she'll get a slap on the wrist. Judge will be Tim's pen pal and visitor going forward. Is the Judge going to buy it out with Tim.
He'll be out in 2.5 years? That's less then the 2 years the DA's office initially offered if he pled out. I honestly don't get the outrage here. If he hadn't insisted on a trial he'd be well on his way to serving a very light sentence.
He'll do 85% of his time
Yes minimum in Florida is 85%.
@@elliebellie7816 hope so!
How ridiculous!! Judge should be ashamed of himself!!
The Judge felt a kinship the minute the Defense mentioned The Marine Corp. What a slight to children everywhere. Marine Corps buddy system has no place in the courtroom especially when children need to be protected from abusive parents. The Judge got this one wrong.
I thought that too!
Yes very wrong
@DixieDoodles
Yes, very wrong! This is absolutely OUTRAGEOUS!!!!! I hope the state appeals. Even 10 years would be way too lenient! He’ll probably have more children one day and who knows what he will do to them🥲
That's exactly it! Gross!
So does the judge think ALL/SOME/MOST marine veterans do this to their children? They do not. They don't think it's OK to do what Tim did to his son.
Appalling, justice was not served TF is a sadist and found pleasure in torturing his son. He should have received 20 years for what he did. Why is it that child abusers are treated with such leniency in our courts. Then to add insult to injury Traci Ferriters mother was allowed to adopt their youngest son and we all saw what a piece of work she is while testify under oath and lying through her teeth. I pray God brings healing to these children. My heart broke listening to Ronan, he's suffering from Stockholm Syndrome, I hope he heals.
As he grows hopefully he’ll see things more clearly. He is obviously distraught and I imagine he even blames himself for putting his dad is prison. Hopefully he’ll have continued therapy and healing.
he’ll probably be out in 6 7 years
The girl who bashed her mother to death with a cast iron pan got 15 years.
@@ABab-jf2jbWhat’s your point?
@@TheDowntown02That this dude didn't kill anyone. She did. He shouldn't get more time than someone who murdered their mother.
If this judge thinks that the defendant was NOT an evil person and did try his best.
I'd be interested to know how the judge was as a parent and IS as a grandparent.
Seems the judge was fooled buy Tim's smart hairstyle.
Absolutely sickening judge! Oh well, he's just an "adopted" kid....right judge? Hang up your robe. He always knew he was going to go easy on this clown..Makes me sick to my stomach.
Very well spoken🙌@deebee
There is no justice here for the child. Why is their such little value placed on children? No compassion was showed by the father to the child. He never even acknowledged that what he did was wrong. Very disappointed with this verdict.
😡😡😡 These judges giving violent offenders minimal sentences is ridiculous. That is not justice for the victims.
If you had asked me yesterday if I thought Florida was a state that went easy on child abusers, I would have said "no, quite the opposite." Seems I was wrong.
Me too.
Florida doesn't care about children, only controlling them.
Same. So disappointed with this judge.
He showed no remorse. He still thinks he is a Godly good person.
Look at his smug face... sickening...Judge wants to hug Tim...
This judge needs to spend time in this box! He should be a social worker, hes not cut out to administer punishment.
He used TF being raised on a military base and being a Marine as an excuse to go easy on a fellow Marine. I thought this Judge has some integrity, apparently I was mistaken.
@@deborah3912I just wrote a similar comment. As a Marine family I am outraged that the judge used the Marine Corp to cut this creep a break.
Had to laugh at the social worker part. Yes, definitely not enough spine and more of a bleeding heart!
This sentence is a slap in the face to the jury who convicted him for the judge to say "oh never mind"
As a child that grew up with corporal punishment every single day - it's sad and heartbreaking what scars the boy will live with. I hope he gets all the help he needs. I struggled with drugs and alcohol my whole life feeling worthless. A mistake.
God bring you peace and comfort, Sweetheart! You are a precious person, never forget that! I hope Ronan and his sisters learn that lesson too.
I'm so sorry that happened to you, ❤
The mother is just as guilty so are any family members that knew what was happening
@sherrymajia5759 - I wholeheartedly agree. That woman just sat back, and allowed her husband to do this, and she did not attempt in any way, to put a stop to it! Disgusting! She is complicit in the terrible treatment of this young man. I do not have enough words to express how I actually feel! It is so appalling!
The mother looks like stepford wife
He SHOULD have got at least 10 years to at least save all those kids from contact until they are all grown!! What a disgrace!!
The judge saying TF "didn't know better" on how discipline his child. Yes, he DID know better. He didn't treat the other kids the same way and he hid what he was doing from the neighbors. He ABSOLUTELY knew better! Judge is a disgrace!
Unbelievable how this criminal abuser has more sympathy towards himself than his son. This is what a narcissist looks like. I hope karma visits him in prison when it gets dark. Eye for an eye.
The most disturbing part of this sentencing is that as the judge was speaking before handing down time, he seemed to empathize more with TF than RF stating that it was evident TF was struggling with disciplining his own child. TF had more than enough money to seek help for himself, furthermore for RF - he chose not to invest in any help for the child’s current emotional state, pain or future. He simply build a box to bully this boy in and kept him locked away further adding to the trauma. And if RF hadn’t run away, it certainly would’ve continued. It’s beyond cruel and he deserved far more time than 5 yrs, 5mos pro. I rarely wish ill on others, but at this point TF should be thrown to the wolves.
I agree, but it’s followed by five YEARS of probation. Not months.
@@AmberMoonLight22 thank you for pointing that out! That is what I meant to type. Might as well have been months atp
@@waydagotcTrue. I’m seriously shocked by the turn this sentencing took.
And the judge admits that even given the opportunity for this father to fully renounce his abusive actions, he saw nothing of that in the pre-sentencing submissions. So, Judge, why would you consider downward deviation for an unrepentant child abuser? If he still believes that his abusive behavior was justified, what does your leniency tell him and every other abuser who makes excuses for their inexcusable actions?
OUT of a box. & why only to the adopted child? Effing creep
It only take one time to traumatize a child, what world is he living in, let his children get treating like that SMH!!!
YOU R WRONG JUDGE
HORRIBLE HORRIBLE sentencing judge!!!! What are you thinking? Those prisoners are NOT going to be happy about Timmy getting off so lightly!! Those kids were terrified of those parents!!! Ronan HAD to say that because he just wanted Tim to love him! Sick sick sick!!!!!!!!
Brutal Brutal Brutal! Shame on this Judge. The abusive father will be out of prison in about a year unless he gets some tough love by other inmates while serving time.
I am sickened by the sentence the judge gave this so called "father".. I hope he gets what's coming to him in prison - he deserves it!!!!
I didn’t hear the father apologize to his son nor have remorse.
I am in disbelief....only 5 years....I hope the prosecutor appeals........
ME TOO!

The jurors are probably thinking they did their civil duty and determined this man was guilty on all 3 counts and the judge basically gives him 5years for locking his child in a box with no air conditioning no toilet and only peanut butter on bread with water. Wow!
The judge as much told the jury you weren’t really needed. I will handle this myself. Bad call judge.
@@sadiehughes6972we all know what his sentence should have been I've seen it in so many comments on different posts, so why did that judge who has a law degree not know?? This judge needs kicked off the bench. There was NO JUSTICE for that child.
@@vickiebledsoe4090 Agree TY
the justice system is flawed
Yes, yes it is. Especially in Florida (the state that let Casey Anthony walk)
That judge set the fight to protect children back to the beginning. Gotta wonder why.
$$$$$$$$
I guess his son has five years to finish school and leave town.
What a horrible outcome. He (and Tracy) inflicted a lifetime of suffering on his children and he shows no remorse. Five years is not even close to justice.
5 years is a long time
This judge “weeeell he didn’t starve him to death soooo”.
It’s quite odd that he said he “hopes he’s wrong” in the thought that the defendant doesn’t believe what he did was wrong, & would probably do it again. Then he gives him 60 months? And 60 months probation. He most likely won’t do even half that!!
Disgusting...
" that's why I wear the robe and I make the decision " something I've never heard a judge say..unreal
I doubt Tim will last 9 months south Florida prison is HARD but yea I agree he should have given him ten at least considering he’d serve 1/2 or so of that time
@@wotiluv TF's attorney was whining that TF had been beaten up several times already. I wonder if he'll get more of that in prison. It was interesting when he appeared in court to ask to be bonded out before sentencing he was visibly shaking. At sentencing he had that same arrogant attitude. Will he be put in a special unit for child abusers? I hear they keep child abusers protected from general population for their protection.
Guess the mom will be set free when her case starts 🤦♀️
Tim will direct the mom to say that she did what she did because she was afraid of Tim. Something like that!!!
Not when she kept hugging him and being there for him in court!@@barbarafann8133
Disappointed fhat the judge failed this teen.. and siblings. TF knew 100% what he was doing was wrong and now these kids will have life long scars!!! He have no real justice. It is a complete joke😢
I'm scared for the youngest boy. At least the other 3 got out.
Notice how TF, when given the chance to address the court, sobbed uncontrollably at his plight to the point of being unable to speak several times. Yet when RF spoke, addressing his father with nothing but love and forgiveness, nary a tear shed by this "father!"
Quite a message to parents who want to put their kids in a box. Even if it is over a long period of time, the judge think he is the textbook father.
Way to go, Judge. You pointed it out that the defense never admit wrong doing and you sided with him.
So if there are good times, it is okay. An abusive man have a nice dinner and be kind would get him out of jail for beating his spouse because he is a textbook good husband.
5 years in prison is nothing to you? Wow.
The kid was not living in a box!
He was staying in a small room with a bed, desk and air conditioner and had more until he trashed it!
The kid was a nightmare who refused to respect any 10:02 rules or his family.
Military school or boot camp is legal.
The child's imprisonment was longer and harsher than his abuser's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!??????!!!!!????
How ridiculous. People are saying that it is good that the judge took into account the son's opinion of not wanting that monster to be imprisoned. The son is most likely terrified of saying anything else because he probably thinks, understandably, that his "father", would take it out on him!! I am utterly disgusted. And to think that I thought this judge seemed fair. Ludicrous!
Couldn’t agree more. I’m so disheartened and upset with this outcome. He was facing decades in prison and there was a minimum sentence of I believe 7yrs and few months on the table. If the judge wanted to honor the victims request in any way, he could have simply gone with 10yrs knowing TF would most likely only serve 7-8 (the supposed minimum). So sad for the kids.
No I applaud the son for loving him even after all of that. Forgiveness is hard, but it takes lots of strength deep in your heart to do so.
The victim is no longer part of the family so there wouldn't be any reason for him to fear retribution. I think it's probably more like a kind of Stockholm Syndrome.
I think the father's statement was shameless. Not once did he acknowledge the impact he had on the victim. He's not at all sorry.
I'm torn. I don't think the father is evil. I think he's too proud to admit that he had a problem child and no idea how to handle him. He made bad choices. But once he was on that train, he couldn't get off.
@@amandavmhe's absolutely evil. Hopefully, he suffers while in prison.
@amandavm He may no longer be living with them but that doesn't mean he doesn't consider them to be his family. Poor kid
Absolutely appalling! Outrageous sentence
Thousands of children have grown up as children of marines and lived disciplined home lives....this was not that, this situation was abusive, cruel and horrible!! This useless "judge" basically handed down a sentence that is basically a slap on the wrists, shameful!!! These poor kids😢.
This is a sin to only give him 5 years. He needs at least 20 years to reflect everyday. These children are damaged for life. I have no empathy whatsoever for this jerk. I’m disgusted and disappointed.
He will be out in 2 years parole
This is not justice for this child. This male defendant (not a man, not a father) treated a child they adopted like trash. What is wrong with this judge ? Hope a good lawyer files a civil suit against this couple on behalf of this boy and takes them for everything they have. I am disgusted.
They don’t have anything!
Yes so do I. This isn’t justice.
I'm sure his time in prison will feel like a lifetime. Considering what he did, he'll learn pretty quickly what his poor kids suffered...and much, much worse.
Oh I’m sure those fellow inmates are NOT going to like this sentencing!!! Horrible sentencing!!!! No respect!
Jailhouse justice
5 years is a cake walk, especially if you considering there's like 90% chance he will be released in 2-3 years.
Let's hope fellow inmates serve up the justice that wasn't dished out in court.
@rockyroad7345 - The prison might well separate him from the rest of the inmates, for his own protection unfortunately! He has shown no remorse for what he has done. He is a barbarian and a savage! Anyway, Who knows what will happen?
Unbelievable.... he tortured this young man
Honestly shocked how low his sentence was 😮 after wrecking all his kids lives, hopefully he won’t get such an easy life in prison!
Shameful!! He drew this out today for hours and then gives him 5 years!
It will feel like much longer to him trust me.
@@katherinegruber499 probably so.
Hard to fathom such a light sentence - particularly when the judge himself said he didn’t hear an apology during his statement. No wonder the monster was smiling having been given a derisory 5 year incarceration. Total miscarriage of justice IMO 👎
I'm wondering IF Timothy Ferriter WILL "obey" the RULES & REGULATION while locked up? Is Timothy Ferriter going to PROTEST (punishment TOO degrading /beneath him) ?
This was ridiculous. The judge gave him freedom after what he did.
I guess it’s ok to lock your child in a box with no AC, no toilet, etc…
IF YOUR FRIENDS COME IN AND TELL THE JUDGE HES SUCH A GREAT GUY.
I would look hard to see if he was paid off.
and the priests, dear lord, I am disgusted.
You must be pretty young. We never had ac or a toilet inside our house when I was growing up. And we brought a "slop jar" in the house every night so we wouldn't have to walk the 100ft to the outhouse at night. Me and my brother slept in a room smaller than the "box". Based on what I saw in this trial if my parents were raising us today they would get life without parole.
@@notthatronjohnson1186 I’m 65… jerk. I know what it was like and I know what’s available now… especially in Florida.

Unbelievable. What a disgrace for the law and the child
Yes the judge has disgraced the law
Yup
So, because this man knew what he was doing was wrong he deserves a lighter sentence??? 🤯 How is that man a judge?
That’s what you got out of that lol that’s not what the judge said at all
This ruling is appalling and disgusting.!!
Wow this is a disgrace!
I did follow this trial and do believe myself that five years in jail is not even worth the time of Jury members. The biggest disappointment is zero remorse in this man’s heart. So hopefully during those 1800 days in similar to his kid’s « room » will teach him something. Hopefully there will also be some therapeutic impact from his fellow bunkmates.
This judge has debased the principle of justice. He has refused to send a chilling message to other abusers out in the community. This light sentence is egregious and wrong. How shameful. A third rate lawyer sitting in the judicial chair. America is full of them...
Justice is not served here! Nevertheless, the courts have been constantly placing limitations on the definition of "reasonable.” This tendency works to the benefit of the criminal only!!
Such a shame, who’s the victim here? TF or RF? Smh. He practiced selective parenting style and treated his blood children differently and even coached his daughter to treat RF differently 😢
This judge makes me sicker and sicker as he goes on.
This is what’s wrong with our country’s justice system. All I hear is excuses. Every time the judge brings up the trauma the child experienced he then gives another excuse for the defendant and his behavior
Seriously who is this judge? This is a perfect example why child abuser and criminals are out doing what they do best without any serious consequences. He should be a ashame as a Judge.

I'd bet a million bucks this judge has given more time to people caught holding a joint. Sickening.
All of that talking and.....what a weak sentence this is almost more disturbing than the act itself....Atrocious!
Judge looked for reasons to reduce the punishment more than anything else. That's not justice for what he did to the boy, which was horrendous.
Way too lenient.
Utter disgrace that the Judge is excusing the abhorrent behavior with a movie reference about discipline. THIS WAS NOT DISCIPLINE
No one should ever call this judge " your honor" after this sentencing. Shame on you judge.
Well said TY
This judge's justification was "I'm the one wearing the robe." What a pompous dunce.
The Judge’s ruling was unfair to the victim and this horrible Man should have gotten at least 10 yrs!! Very disappointed in the Judge!!
5 years for ruining a young man's life forever. On top of that this man had no emotions what so ever.
The judge is a criminal for letting this monster off so easy!
Children are chattel as far as our judicial system is concerned.
Unreal!! This judge is so unreal!!! I feel so let down by this judge!!
He ruined this kids life! This kid will always …for a lifetime,,,have mental issues over this yet this guy only gets five years????? The jury should I be furious!
This judge should be investigated. I’m curious to know what he’s given to other abusers.
I bet the wife gets 2 years and probation. Judge is dead wrong
The court was moved by his character references? No- this judge fell for this narcissistic excuse of a human.
Well said TY
He won't make it through probation with his attitude and will break probation and get thrown in jail again!!!!
This judge is wayyy too sympathetic to that man
Sounds like the judge is apologizing for such a weak sentence.
Guess we need to rely on some prison justice for this guy.
💯👏👏👏
Chomo's always get dealt with.
Ridiculous…because he is upper middle to high class he got off with a lighter sentence. Had he been lower class, he probably got harsher sentence.
Absolutely or if he was not a marine
Terrbile sentence.
Judge is a joke. Should have been 10 years at a minimum. The guy has no remorse.
The judge let the children down
He was sitting there smug the entire time, he knew he was going to get away with ruining his child’s life. The boy’s club always sticks together. I wonder how the mom’s trial will go.
No justice for this child. The damage this child will deal with will outlast 5 years. I am disgusted with the outcome.
Prison Warden is in the boss chair now. I hope Tim's scared.
Dreadful outcome for such heinous crimes. I hope the prosecution appeals.
