FOX 26 Crime Files: 12-year-old killed in domestic violence incident

Stories like these are why I have been single for 10 years. Because I have a 9 year old daughter and I trust NO ONE.

Too much of these stories already!!!!!! I really am sick to my stomach. Every other day its a new child turning up dead due to negligent abusive or otherwise just totally unfit parents. We need to do so much better as parents.

How was this mother unfit? She was trying to get away, she was trying to press charges but the da declined to, so how is this her fault?

Sucks that this beautiful little guy with a whole life ahead had to pay the ultimate price for the inadequacy (at the absolute least) of the 2 people that brought him into this world. Something needs to change this becoming an every other day thing on the news. Always another beautiful baby snuffed out like a flame.

Wrongggggggg. I pray you don’t have children because you have many lessons to learn. You’re blaming the victim instead of the full on offender who actually hurt him? You’re the entire problem

[@Caughtulookin]

Way to victim blame because there aren’t adults that just kill children unprovoked right? That’s why domestic violence is so rampant, ppl think it’s cause he’s a gangster no it’s cause he’s a monster and happens to be a gangster

[@Jireh0309]

There is something about this activist that makes me mad. He is putting ALL the blame on others, but the mother. At NO TIME he is talking about any help available for victims of domestic violence. If the mother isn't doing anything, WHY OTHERS should get involved?? We are living in a world that if you go thru McDonald's and they gave you the wrong order or they take too long, they will shoot you. I'll NEVER help someone that knowing their partners past decide to be and stay with them. This woman was with a violent man for a long time, since they have two daughters together, and decided to stay on and off with him. The ONLY one to blame was her, not any neighbor. Did she ever file a restraining order against this man?? Many times restraining orders might not even work with violent men, but at least you show you tried something.
