I am at a lost for words, I personally worked with the mom. She is not a dentist, she is a dental assistant. Im not sure what went wrong in Josh's life but being brought up with a single mom half his life and having a mom that is way into her self and her husband instead of her child is a big problem. Know what is going on with your child and don't ever stop fighting to help them.

Monkduke, let me try to help you understand things better. I speak from experience, please trust me. The parents in this situation are not without fault. When you try to teach a kid that he "wont be cool unless he wears $50 silk underwear" these types of things happen. But then again the "system" seriously failed the community and the Escue family in the end. Josh has been a problem for years and this kid really needed to be locked up. Yes the parents, both of them, tried many times getting police, judges, INSURANCE COMPANY (fault lies here in my eyes) and hospitals to help them with Josh. But if you ask me this child was taught a very disturbed value system in the beginning, that with mental instability spawned this situation.

He is just a bad kid. He got kicked out of his old school for stealikg from a teacher and he rought weed to school last uear (didnt get caught... But i was in his art class and he showed it to the guy at my table and that just confirmed my decision to not talk to this guy) i hate how everyone on instagram and facebook is saying to pray for him. Also, theres like an 80% chance he will be tried as an adult but people are saying the 17 and 18 year olds with hom could have made him say he did it so they wouldnt be tried as adults. And with all due respect i think adults really do forget what its like to be a teen in some ways. Your friends pressure you into something and then it gets very out of hand. It happens to everyone. Some fall of their bikes and break an arm... Some are stupid enough to rob a house, ruining his life, his relationship with the hottest girl in school, and his sports career.

The justice system has been a joke since it was started,the jury system is a joke,they need to have professional jurors instead of the inbreds they pick to serve,mommys' money will have a big influence...he'll never see the inside of a prison you watch

Just execute the POS kid!

Monkduke ;-( thanks for that clarification. It sucks even worse now knowing that this puke already had plenty. Mommy being well off insures that this creep will have plenty of money on his books while he's incarcerated.

I have already lost my respect for our court system!!!!!!!!!!!! It is a fricken joke. They do the same thing all the time!!!!!!!!! Is it working? HELL NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If they do not try him as an adult I will lose all confidence and respect for the justice system.

I want to take a moment to say that it wasnt the moms fault. She is a dentist who works long hours. He was well cared for and loved, he just was not given the guidance he needed. I am a 14 year old student at jenks middle school and i was in his hallway. I want everyone to know, he switched out of jenks a few weeks before the shooting to sapulpa, where the other kids involved went to school. I am angered that our amazing school is being labeled because of josh. There are 1200 twelve to fourteen year olds in our school, dont let this one bad person ruin your opinion on one of the best schools in Oklahoma, in both athletics and academics.
