  • I feel sorry for both of them. Joshua was obviously a troubled boy. And poor inoccent Madelyn didn't know what was going to happen. But the most disturbing part of the story was that he hid her under his bed. I wouldnt sleep one night with a dead body beneath my bed

  • read the description the kid was right when he said he needed help at least. probably more than that he's probably just an evil kid but he could still use help. but remember though he's still just a kid himself so kind of hypocritical to say he's going to get killed in prison for killing a child. and you don't know maybe he was abused or something you don't know the whole story behind cases like this.

  • RIP Maddie, but I also feel serious sympathy for poor Josh Phillips.

  • Real death eater,literaly in tears watching this,life is cruel.

  • you self righteous idiot cunts are a dime a dozen and its really annoying lol,...josh isn't evil and none of you are better than him rather you wanna believe it or not,..he is just sick,..same with any other child molester or killer, people don't just become evil one day or decide to be evil,...its all nature and brain chemicals,....nobody is better than anyone else cause of that,...shit happens, deal with it and reality and look at it from a logical point of view instead of a emotional one

  • He should had Death Sentence,It was no reason to kill little Maddie clifton,cause she got stabbed in the Eye,why didn,t he confessed to her accident,It would have been forgiven,not killing her,what is this World coming too/

  • going to jail for the murder of a child.

  • wow what a fucked up kid. He was playing with his neighbour while he was told not to have anyone over so what is the worst that could happen? get grounded? I say getting grounded is better than going to jail.

  • @xolkan1 I saw a show on TV about children committing murder, and this story was one of them. According to the reports, his father was extremely strict and would sometimes threaten him, which caused the boy to be afraid of what would happen to him if he was ever caught disobeying his father...which led to this incident.

    But that's still no excuse for committing murder and I think he got what he deserved.

  • thats terrible i couldnt even imagine dying that way in that torture! o god

  • she was stabbed 11 times just because he was afraid his dad would punish him for having a friend over?! what the hell is that!? RIP maddie! <3

  • I know everyone is really touch by this story but I am hear to tell you that I was 8 yrs old and a friend of Maddie with this happend I dont think any child could ever forget this when I was just playing tag with her the day before. She was a sweet tom boy and she is very missed I know you and I should be having drinks now being 21 but I do remember her and do say a pray all the time for her family hang in there

  • poor her he is so stuiped and she it not desevere that

  • This is sad it had to happen in my hometown! josh phillips is a piece of crap and should be put to death!

  • @madchief2000

    it is sad. when this murder happened I was at the time living in Jacksonville I had a sister Maddies age at the time. Also Josh Phillips i'm glad hes still alive because if he got the death sentence he gets an easy way out. Maddie never had a choice or got an easy way out she had to suffer. And for that Josh Phillips can rot in jail and get raped. No one in jail prison likes child killers. Its only fair Josh lives in fear day by day of suffering a fate much worse than death.

  • @Eskara0 >I remember hearing about his story in NYC back then. They interviewed Josh Phillips in prison who was crying and carrying on like he has so much remorse! He is a phony who will most likely die in prison. He claims he was afraid of his dad so he killed her? What kind of crap is that? He was just one selfish kid! Maddie was adorable and her parents have to suffer every single day because of his cowardly actions! I hope he rots in prison and lives a long time behind bars!

  • @debgirl12000

    Knowing him and his case he might just end up getting killed in jail. As long as Josh suffers I could care less what happens to him. Call me cruel but I have no respect for child rapists, killers or sex offenders.

  • This poor innocent little girl... I know she's safe now....

  • He could have just brought her home............... Rest in Peace sweetheart

  • ROT IN HELL JOSHUA PHILLIPS. And rest in peace Madelyn, sweet little angel.

  • the kid murdered her because he was afraid his dad (who was very abusive) would go psychical on him since he wasn't allowed friends over.

  • she died nov 3 1998 election day and yes it sad but what about josh?

  • she died nov 3 1998 election day

  • i just watched something about her on tv. it wasnt the boys fault, his father was quite abusive, and the boy panicked and stuffed the girl under his bed in fear that his father would punish and beat him if he saw madelyn hurt. plus he wasnt supposed to be playing in the first place. it was just the fear of his father that killed poor innocent maddy :(

  • @chinesefootbinding thats STILL no excuse.!!!!!!

  • @chinesefootbinding that is B.S. I am sorry. As kids we were actually afraid our parents might kill us if they got mad enough and we never murdered someone we accidently hurt. and we were ruff kids. sorry but i am not buying that. he also had violent rape pornography on his computer. I was beat as a kid and learned from it. some people just have meanness in them. Rest In Pease Sweet Girl.

  • @judyluvsnoel well of course each person is responsible for their own self, and after i watched the tv thing about her, they had an interview with the boy himself. (not really a boy anymore) and he seemed completely normal!! idk what happened, i guess no one but maddy and him know, but we can infer that it was not only the boys actions that played a role in this murder, but also the father's. it was his choice to get those horrible videos, and a foolish choice to act on them. rip maddy <3

  • @chinesefootbinding i totally get what you are saying. your compassion for the young man is admirable. i just think in this case the kid was just one of those humans who have an urge to murder. he may have never acted on it. but his father beating him, which his father admitted, may have tipped the scale.

  • @judyluvsnoel unfortunately there are people like that in the world. yes of course, the father beating him was the thing that probably pushed him over the edge. oh well, whats done is done, now we can only pray that nothing like this will happen ever again.

  • @chinesefootbinding pray and report child abuse and never let your kids out of your sight. ok. the last one is unrealistic but we have to start getting paranoid about children.... that and checking the history on your kids computer so you know what sites they are go to. oh yeah and take your daughters to self defense lessons.

  • @judyluvsnoel i think it should be mandatory to learn at least a few simple self defense techniques. i take tae kwon do and i love it! when i have my own kids i will make sure to always look out for them. there should be more caring people like you!

  • it was an accident that lead to a viscious murder :(

    poor innocent child :(

  • i still remember this story i was 9 and was jus so shocked to find out that her neighbor did it

  • jus seen the show about her. soooo sad....

  • @LeemaSo0oFlyy There's a movie about her?

  • The ungodly don't understand why children must suffer and die. It's because of the sins of their parents, and generations before. Put God first, love Him, obey His commandments, and dedicate your life to Him. Otherwise, you and your children will pay.

    Numbers 14:18

    The LORD is longsuffering, and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression, and by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation.

    Amen

  • y didnt yuu tell us wut happen but ts ok i saw it on t.v this 13 yr. old boi killled her becus he wus afraid he wus gonna get in trouble by his father becus he wus outside when he wus suppose to be he hit her with the ball when they were playin she cried he killed her and put her under his matress his mother found her decomposing body it wus very sad R.I.P HONEY

  • i know this is a sad video and all and im sorry for the poor girl... but the opening line in the description is HILARIOUS!

  • RIP Maddie, but i would also like to say that I think Joshua Phillips, after over 12 years, deserves a second chance. Like it or like it not, he didn't sexually assault Maddie, he was also just a scared child and he was unfairly treated in court. There were problems with the frontal lobe of his brain which caused him to act on impulse and he supposedly had a hard childhood. If a proper monster like Jon Venables can be released from prison and given another chance Josh should be given that chance

  • @JustinBieber4496oxo he probably wants to kill you because you love that justin bieber kid, you better watch oit, and byen your justin bieber cd's in front of him, while screaming 'i hate justin retard bieber' or something like that. just to be on the safe side, you know.

  • @clitcommanderr Oh, "okay"!

  • @JustinBieber4496oxo , hey justin, why did you remove the commentary where you talk about the fear of your neighbor, it was good that it was there, as a way to help the detectives find out who slaughtered you, in case this comes to happen one day. Also, why did you say he felt embarrassed by you?

  • @clitcommanderr Just to let you know, I'm not Justin! :) Well, I don't think he thinks I'm embarrassing, but the boy is my friend, but I have this feeling that he doesn't like me as a friend because I know he thinks I'm weird and he doesn't want me in the world anymore!

  • of course i know you are not justin lol, dont be silly. But what you are saying is scarey, the freak boy doesnt want you in the world anymore? wow, you should be concerned. I had something similar happened to a couple of months ago, theres this freaky 20 year old that lives in front of me, and who just hates JustinBieber with all his heart, and he hates me because he knows I love Justin, because I dress a lot like Justin. So one day I borrowed my dad's blow up gay doll and...i will continue next

  • so I got my dad's blow up gay doll and glued a picture of Justin on the gay doll's head, then i went into the front yard of my freakish neighbor and when I was sure he was watching me, I stabbed the Justin gay blow up doll with a sharp sushi knife while screaming at the top of my lungs; 'FUCK YOU JUSTIN BIEBER, I HATE YOUR GAY GUTS!!!', my freak neighbor never bothered me anymore after that. Maybe you should do some thing like that, or tell your parents about that creepy boy that stalks you.

  • @clitcommanderr this video is a tribute to & in

    memory of a beautiful little girl who was BRUTALLY

    murdered...& YOU'RE OVER THERE CRACKING JOKES.???

    smh...shame on you.

  • its really sad that he killed this poor girl when the entire situation could have been solved with a simple "im sorry"

  • i sorry to hear about madelyn may god be with you

  • Love and Peace this is what we need in this country of hot dogs and beer and murder people

  • R.I.P. Maddie Clifton!!!!

  • Of all the millions of people in the US there are a few who we can simply live without and Joshua Phillips is one of them. I don't care about these moron violent accident whatever kids. He killed this innocent person and he must be sacrificed to prison for life because the world will be fine without messed up people like him no matter what their age or their excuses. The stupid boy blames his father for the fact that he murdered an 8 yr.old.

  • Poor sweet innocent children, why cant this world be rid of horrible people who prey on the most beautiful and innocent?? Nobody deserves this, especially infants and children.

  • he was trying to rape her or do something sexual, there is no other explanation ... they found her with her pants and underwear removed, her shirt pulled almost off, and found semen on his pants, they also found he was looking at violent porn within 15 minutes of the murder !! there is no way around it, that is why we never got a good reason as to why he did it, it was all a sex act that turned very bad !!

  • I hope Josh gets a chance to get out of prison. I'm sure he won't do it agian and he seems like a much better person now.

  • this is so sad! and he stabbed her 11 times? why did he have to kill her just because he accidently hit her with a baseball bat?

  • You have to understand that he has a mental disorder. People like him should be in a rehab clinic, not in prison.

  • @AdoraBelle86 people like him need to die like right NOW

  • i used to live in florida jacksonville all the way up to the 2nd grade i remember this she was killed and it was scary because they couldn't find her. But they found her in the killer house stuffed under the waterbed. the question is why would you kill some girl for no reason? they never said why he did it

  • The Shack!

  • Poor little baby R.I.P....

  • Comment removed

  • AWW she is a pretty angel

  • In 2000 I meet Sheila Clifton after my 28 day old son Anthony Thompson was murdered, She helped me threw the worst time of my life. And I wanted to send out my love and thanks to a very special lady and her family Thank you Sheila Danielle

  • I'm so sorry for your loss, I hope someday you can find peace again, god bless

  • oh poor sweety RIP

  • this is so sad. i feel so bad. that poor girl. she did not deserve her fate

  • i danced with maddie and her sister jessie its still hard to look at the tv when they have some thing on about her and or her sister when the 10 year specail came on about her and her death and i saw the pics of her under joshes bed i started balling she was so sweet good luck to jessie in the roar shhe is aways watching over us r.i.p we love u

  • I was friends with both of them when I was growing up. It's very conflicting when you knew both of them.

  • oh wow! RIP hunn!

  • I remember one night me and my friends were on the internet and my friend brought up madie and i asked who she was. So we looked it up and i read wut happened..WOw....oit was sad today is ther 10th anniversary..i wish her family the best! i live in jacksonville florida. Its amazing how people can be cruel. and the 14 year old thought he wa=ould get in trouble.was his father abusive or sumthing? he should have helped her nd brought her home 2 her mom instead of killing her. poor little thing! RIP

  • so BHMSgirl94 did madelyn mention to you about her favorite tv shows on cartoon network what was her favorite tv show?

  • y do u wanna no tht anyways?

  • I really think Josh needs to be released. I think he has served enough time for this. He was just a kid himself. Take a look at Mary Bell. She was 10ish and killed two little boys younger than her. Served only 12 years. But that may have been due to the fact she had a kid. I don't know. I just think he should be released soon so he can live a new life.

  • I agree. I think he needs some kind of treatment. There is something not right with him and they should figure out what that is.

  • Wow. 10 years already. I was her age when this happened and I remember the uproar. I lived close to her and no one would let their kids go outside unless it was for school.

  • i was 8, the same age in the same grade as her, when this horrible incident happened. i remember the day my teacher told us she was found dead. i think this is when i realized how unfair and cruel life can be. i lived less than 5 miles away from her and i knew people that knew her and her killer. this story still comes to my mind often even though it has been ten years. i still live in jax.

    RIP Maddie

  • I am so sorry for your loss. This story is one of the reasons I moved from Jacksonville to a small town. My heart breaks for you every time I see how lucky I am to have my two.

  • i miss maddie. i heard about this story quite a while ago. she was such an adorable little girl and to hear that her friend/neighbor did this is horrible. someone so close like that. it bothers me that no one is safe anywhere. rest in peace little angel.

  • thats so sad

  • almost made me cry wat a mean guy he shouldnt have murdered her she wasnt going to die he should have called 911 for her eye!):

  • BTW:

    R.I.P., Maddie!

  • That is so mean! I can't believe people actually think of doing that. Don't they feel any guilt or...ANYTHING? I really do not know why he should do such a thing.

  • rip gorgous

  • It just makes me think that we have to look into everyone even kids who come in contact with our kids.

  • Rest In Peace Little One. God Bless Maddie and Her Parents.

  • i found out about her by googling my boyfriends name. The story was so sad :(

  • I went to school with the kid who killed this poor girl

  • I went to school with the kid who killed this poor girl

    Rest in peace, Maddie.
