Nathan Ybanez was mental, physically, and sexually abused by his parents his whole life. The Ybanez family was always moving consequently there was a very unstable homelife. Nathan got into an argument with his mother and ended up murdering her. I will be charging Nathan as a youth, the reason I’m charging Nathan as a youth is the fact that he didn’t plan to kill his mother and the fact that he was abused by both of his parents. The sentence I have given to Nathan is Custody and Supervision for 4 years, then probation for 3 years. Nathan will be in Custody and Supervision because even if he didn’t plan to kill someone his mother is now dead because of him.

It’s even better when all of your friends are involved as well. Getting accepted as one of the gang was great for young Luis. His initiation was to fight 5 guys and stay standing by the end.
