It's heartbreaking to watch what a child had to endure at the hand of his father. So many people failed him due to lack or money or knowledge. His stepmom confused me and I feel she should have done more for Anthony. I got really frustrated at the people who gave opinions but have no experience in abusive environments. Not killing his father probably would have eventually meant his own death. Justice would have been his dad to live and spend the rest of his life in jail. Death was too good for that man! We need to STOP blaming children for the adults choices. Netflix may seem bias to some but I don't think glorifying a horrible man because he's dead was needed.

Great documentary! I personally think that Netflix is pretty good at making this kind of true crime documentaries. The great thing is that they not only use the publicly available materials like e.g. Interrogations, but also interview all relevant people: e.g. Police, family, friend, neigbours... So I certainly hope that we do not need to wait long before we get another one of these documentaries.

I have so many questions. This child was taken at the age of 5 from Texas and moved to NOLA, with the same. Exact. Name. Never found? In 2007? The father didn't bother to change his name and during the age of the interweb and police cooperation was never found? Ever? In all that time? Ridic. The accusation that Anthony was unfeeling during his 911 call left us shaking our heads. No one considered he could have Aspergers? That was not even addressed. Or if not being an Aspy could have some other condition? Gaping hole. Our time was wasted. Don't waste yours.

From the same person that brought us The Girl In The Picture, this nonsense plays out like a ridiculous soap opera, trying to portray the true victim as an insidious predator who lay in wait for his poor father to haplessly come into his room. TGitP was brilliantly done, but this is insanely gross and wrong on so many levels- it's almost as if having success with one allowed a gauntlet to be thrown and caution went to the wind. The entire predisposition sets up as a direction to convince the viewer of Anthony's guilt- despite all we know (anyone who knows of this gross story of abuse, both mental and physical, a truly disturbing man who was constantly victimizing anyone who came in contact with him) from news reports and better-told stories. The initial detective makes a gross mistake by assuming this young man is guilty because of nonsense he thinks should be true, an abused woman who goes and sits with her abuser, knowing what a complete pile of rubbish he was, and has the audacity to point the finger at Anthony. The first twenty minutes of this 'documentary' sets the viewer up to see Anthony as a ruthless murderer, from his own stepmother, to her disgusting brother, to the actual prosecutor, and detective, despite knowing how victimized this young man was and his severe trauma he suffered the majority of his life is what led him to this sorry state of being. The producers and director should be ashamed of themselves for framing this in such a way. There's no possible reason for doing so other than to be disgusting and manipulative, and making even more money in the process. Back to typical Netflix fare- here we go again.

I like Netflix Documentaries. This one not so much. Didn't absorb me as much. Troubled 17 year old kid shoots abusive dad dead. Goes to trial. Gets acquitted. End of story.

I'm usually the negative guy. So tired of all the social and cultural platitudes in entertainment, but Netflix gets this right. No fillers or obnoxiously drawn out side stories, just a heartbreaking story with a triumphant ending. A point scored for humanity.
