I am so angry- so unbelievably sad and angry. This is just... beyond me.

How does a mother not know her what her underage sons are doing / have done in their own home? Parental presence, supervision, knowing where your child is and is not alone at all times, is part of parenting. If there were previous problems with these boys, then all the more reason why parental supervision was necessary and would have prevented this tragedy.

My heart is totally 1,000 % broken. I can't believe it. I can not comprehend how anyone can raise two children with such a lack of humanity.I try to see the light and I see the God truly exists and he made these evil, souless idoits stupid enough to post it on FB where there mother could see it and turn them in. I will not comment on the mother but to say I think the reward had something to do with it. I will also say I do not see where race enters this picture. Bad parents come in all races and creeds.

I would not venture to speculate on the mothers motives but to say that it is just fortunate that she did turn her sons in and is cooperating with the investigation.

From what I am reading, she is a single, working mother of 3 teenage sons. While I am certainly not suggesting that she is mother of the year by any means, how many parents, even very good ones, know where their 17 year olds are "at all times".

In any event, it is an epic tragedy that has taken one young life and ripped apart two families.

I wouldn't venture to speculate that it was just fortunate that she turned her sons in considering the fact that a murder took place in her home where she is responsible for her sons actions. Reward, fear of being part of a murder conspiracy or fortunate, we will never know. Parenting isn't suppossed to be easy. Making it a priority effort to try and keep track of where their 17 year olds are (and who is looking out for them) at all times is far easier than living through a tragedy like this.

Very sad to hear this kind of murder, so young my heart goes out to her family. These teens should be tried as adults and given the death penalty!

Thoughts and prayers to the family. We are legion, We are heartbroken.

This was such a horrible tragedy. My condolences go out to Autumn's family, friends, and the community of Clayton. The entire world had been hoping she would be found alive --but that was not the case. I had been following Autumn's disappearance on the Daily Mail website which is from London, England. There is so much sorrow for such a senseless death of a beautiful child.

Patch should update their article given that this is proably the top story in South Jersey today. The names of the teen brothers have been released as well as their photos by other news organizations.
This is a horrible and senseless tragedy. We can only imagine what this family is going through right now. Let's hope that they can find strength and comfort during all of what they will have to endure. And once again, an evil act in the world has shown us all that we need to hold our kids a little closer and tighter today.

Mr. B, it is Patch's policy not to release the names of juveniles charged in crimes, regardless of what other media outlets are doing. However this story we published late last night should offer you plenty of insight into the teens' identities:

According to another news article, a citizen tip was made BEFORE the mother called police, and that the tip was not followed up on. This was quoted from Autumn's parents in an ABC news article. This citizen apparently thought that the abandoned house (location of Autumn's body) was suspicious, told police - now the alleged murderers mother is being credited with turning her boys in to police coincidentally it seems after she may have known that a citizen tried to direct the police to the murder site.

Something is drastically wrong in our society today as more and more young children are involved in serious crimes. Is it a lack of proper parenting? Or is it that they are exposed to too much violence on TV and those games I see my grandsons playing? So many of those things show violent acts as if it was acceptable. There's lots more I could add but I can just see the responses I'd get so will leave it as it is.

Missing Woodbury Girl ..

PLEASE CONTACT WOODBURY POLICE 856 845 0064 N SHARE THIS .. THANK YOU !

My thoughts and prayers for the victim and her family. Nancy, you are absolutely right. I hear and see people letting toddlers as young as 2 or 4 let alone teens be bombarded by "the walking dead" type movies, shows and games. Unfortunately our primitive species hasn't figured out the we monkeys often see and the think it's ok to do. We would be better served to outlaw these shows, games and other forms of media if we won't or can't keep our children safe from these horrible ideas and visions. Can't we see what all the violence, long going on with our help installing evil dictators for our own monetary gain, has done to the mind set of those in the middle east? I guess are "leaders" are gearing us up for a big sick fight.

You can't tell me that two teenage boys who ate capable of such a horrific act did not show signs of anti-social or sociopathic behavior in the past. All too often, children and teens exhibit signs for years and years that they would be capable of such things and it either goes unnoticed or untreated. It's very scary to think that a neighbor could be so sick on the inside, and innocent passersby in the neighborhood have no idea until something so heinous happens.

I'm so sorry for the grief this family has endured. Bless her young soul.
Like another poster stated .... Though this mother may or may not be mom of the year ... It had to be gutwrenching to realize this heinous crime was at the hands of ur kids. Thank God she did turn them in and not take the "my kids do no wrong" stance.
But God bless the family and friends of this little Angel.

Back in the 80s in toms river a little girl age 13 was also murdered and thrown in a creek like trash. Her murderer Shawn Milne was 15. He was tried as an adult but only got 30yrs in prison. He will be out of prison soon..i hope and pray that these evil brothers get life and never get to walk free again. These poor parents just lost their precious daughter and are raw right now but this pain they feel will be raw for mañy years to come as they sit thru a murder trial and listen to the public defenders actually defend such scum (i often wonder how they sleep) i ask that the community stand with this family and support them thru many years of grief ahead of them. God bless them and hold them in his arms,

Time to reinstate capital punishment and make it available in all crimes that involve a death. Deterrent is the only answer. Even if these two scumbags would not have been deterred by it the next guy who reads about their grisly execution by electric chair might think twice. Put a few of these executions on the internet and watch the crime rate drop.

WD and just whom is supposed to 'decide' what people are the 'scum of the earth'.. those people who don't care enough and don't 'teach and spend time with' their children are partly to blame...some are so worn out with trying to make a living...THERE ARE MANY REASONS......BUT...your post was too extreme...are you going to be one of those who decides?? Would surely hope not, with your attitude.

Where's Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson? Oh, that's right, "black youths killing innocent white girl" doesn't move those racists..... Wake up all of you chicken-s liberals out there.....

Thanks for the 'heads up' John..........yes, where are they....think Jessie is ill and in seclusion...as for Al.........
