So the lame family can't speak English & left their little kid with a creepy Hispanic man. Now some leech lawyer wants to extract $ from LA taxpayers? This has gotta stop that's why people voted Trump
I am so very sorry
Why is it always someone else’s fault for some criminal scumbag that gets let go by liberal judges? I don’t trust anybody with my family.🙄🙄🙄
I remember when this happened and everybody in the comments were saying someone needed to look into the couch
Horrific! That poor boy and his suffering family! I hope the perpetrator rots in jail!!
Cmon are you really that money hungry
How is suing the city justice ? And those lawyers, how dare they try and scrape up any money they can get from the city. Not the city’s fault. Sorry.
Maybe you should take care of your kids
😢
So they want to get rich of what happen to there love one. They should have been taking care of their family member and this would of never happened.
Didn’t they let him go with that grown man.
ICE for parents
AYY PORFAVOR SENORA USTED ES CULPABLE POR NO PONELE ATTENCION A SU HIJO !!!
BUNCH OF NONSENSE 😮!!! ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS CANT EVEN SPEAK ENGLISH WANT TO SUE IM SURE THE PARENTS KNEW CAUSE HE PROBALLY GETTING MONEY !
Call ICE to check them all
Its the parenta fault not the city
Oh please. They just want MONEY. This lawsuit will go nowhere.😂
Hoping for a settlement. Really good luck.
He should’ve never been working with kids at all.
@2:53 illegals shouldn't have the right to sue
La Ventura means "Happiness."
He was a wannabe paisa soccer coach

It’s nobody else’s fault for what happened to that kid but the parents it’s all the parents fall for letting the kid go somewhere far away with a grown man so I think the parents should get charge also and get taken out our country. Tell them to pack all their bags and get out of here
Good! Hope the family wins!
America I know it's shocking but this has been going on for years it just hasn't been reported in such 'real time'
Before the immigrant ' invasion ' these
crimes against children took place all
the time.
I agree when an illegal immigrant does
this iit could have been preventable.
The county should sue the parents for not watching out for their kid
The killer is an illegal immigrant acording to the LA Times.
They gave the kid permission to go by himself.
It's really their own fault for letting the child go with a stranger😢
Sue the Mayor too she says the city is completely safe…
Just because he's a coach for soccer baseball football does it make him a family member he is a stranger you don't send your children off on a train
Bound to the stranger home
