Mother's Day weekend 2012 would forever change the Sweet Family when Isaiah,17 years old, would murder his legal guardians, Richard and Janet Sweet, who had raised him since the age of four. You may think you have an understanding of what happened here -- but there is so much more to the story than what the media - and even the trial - covered. Listen to Isaiah's mother, Stacy Sweet, discuss why Isaiah killed his grandparents, why Stacy almost did the same thing when she was his age, and how the system completely failed this minor.
