The murder case continues...my daughter has 3 "best" friends. One of them was booked yesterday as an accomplice to murder, he is 16 years old. I know him pretty well. Of course I don't know all of the details, but here is what I do know. He is a good kid with a dysfunctional family. The family doesn't really play a role in this except for the fact that he has little to no supervision. He is a pretty good kid that finds himself in the middle of a lot of bad things. He is now being charged as an adult in this case.
My daughter is so distraught, now two of her best friends have had serious things happen in their lives in the past week. One of them lost her father to her brother's hand (remember, because the father was sleeping with the son's girlfriend). The second friend is now in jail being held on $500,000 bond as an accessory. It is all so sad.
This is the kind of thing you never think will happen so close to your family, let alone being a 16 year old girl and your friends having devastating things happen to them. I have heard the tale of what happened, how much I haven't heard is now the issue with her friend that was just arrested.
At any rate, this is one of those times when it is hard to know how to comfort your child. I feel so badly for the families involved in all of this. Seems to me it could have been avoided if one father had enough love for his son not to sleep with that son's girlfriend.
By the way, my daughter tells me the girlfriend is pregnant...nice legacy for yet another generation to come.

I am just numb for reading about it. It is heart breaking and I'm an adult . . . how is a child suppose to handle it?
ReplyDeletefrom the newspaper article I saw, it sounded like the father knew the girlfriend and was sleeping with her before she ever dated the son.
ReplyDeleteWhile the father is obviously the main person at fault, (and has paid his karmic debt) as the adult in this, the girl could have said no and avoided all of this also. Plus, all of the "kids" are old enough to know right from wrong and since when is killing someone ok, no matter what? Even small children understand killing someone is not aceptable.
I feel bad for your daughter, it is hard to see friends go thru bad things. I would say though that as a parent I would be worried that one of her best friends is accused as an accessory in a murder case. Coming from a dysfunctional family isn't a justification for murder. If it was, there wouldn't be anyone alive.
The real victim in all of this is the poor daughter who has to live with the fact that her brother and his friends killed her father.
It's all too sad.
lettingo..no the dad did not have the relationship before the son. Son's gf; dad had sex with her, for months on end.
ReplyDeleteI still don't get why the boy would want his girlfriend after she was having sex with his dad for months on end. Seems to me that the dad and girlfriend deserved each other.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear your daughters friend is innocent of anything more than giving someone a ride.
that was pretty scary.
