00:00Yo what's good everyone? Welcome back to East Coast Crime Network. I'm your host Cortez Black

00:26and today we're diving into a topic that's as chilling as it gets. We're talking about snitches,

00:32specifically parents who turn on their own kids in court just to save their own skins. Yeah,

00:38you heard that right. Let me introduce you to a rapper from New Orleans, a dude who's made a name

00:43for himself but not in the way you'd like to think. I'm talking about Little Chopsticks. This man had

00:50talent but he also had a dark side. He wrote songs about violence all focused on taking down a rival

00:57rapper named Big Bangkok. Then everything went left when he was charged with murder. Now here's where

01:04it gets real messy. Well, Little Chopsticks grew up in a tough environment and his father, whom I call

01:10Mr. Rat Boy for privacy's sake, wasn't exactly a model parent. He had a history of beating him up

01:16as a kid but Little Chopsticks never squealed. Fast forward and both father and son find themselves

01:21on trial for the murder of Big Bangkok. But guess what happened? Mr. Rat Boy decided to testify against

01:28his own son. He pointed the finger saying his son was the killer all to skate away with a lighter

01:34sentence. Little Chopsticks was found guilty, sentenced to life in prison while his father, thanks to those

01:40big snitching moves, only got 10 years. You can only imagine how that went down on social media.

01:47People were in disbelief, celebrities weighed in, and the world exploded with opinions.

01:52Look, everyone needs to talk about this because it hits hard. Parents should protect their children,

01:59not throw them under the bus. It's heartbreaking to think that a parent would settle for a lighter

02:03sentence at the cost of their own child's freedom. I mean, think about it. How sad and embarrassing

02:09is it to find out that your own blood can turn against you like that?

02:13Now, let's get into the red flags. If your parent is abusive, physically or emotionally,

02:18there's a chance they might not have your back when the chips are down.

02:22An abusive parent often seeks their own survival over your well-being.

02:26They might manipulate situations to put themselves first, which is extremely toxic.

02:32Children need to recognize that making better life choices is crucial. Some parents literally

02:37lead their kids into bad situations on purpose, and that's a cycle that needs to be broken.

02:41When Mr. Ratboy was asked why he turned on his son, he said his health was failing and he wanted to

02:46see his granddaughter go to a school dance. Talk about a tragic situation, right? That's a

02:52heartbreaking excuse for betrayal, and it leaves a scar that won't easily heal. It reminds you to be

02:58cautious about who you trust, even if that person is your own parent.

03:02So, what can you do? Stay aware, build a support system, and surround yourself with people who

03:09truly care about you. Don't let anyone lead you down the wrong path, not even your parents.

03:16Remember, the streets can be cold, but you can rise above it. This is Cortez Black,
