omg - she must've been devastated when she found out her 'baby' did this to her
but I want to know why a 15 year-old teen thought it was normal to be dating an 11 year-old girl ... enough so that he bragged about it on ms
aren't most boys at that age going for teens their age or older and don't want to be seen with kids in middle school? or are the boundaries blurring now & they don't care anymore?
I really don't know LadyL. Thankfully my children and grandchildren dated/dates those around their own age and they could start dating at 16. I have read though that younger and younger girls (even this age) do have older boyfriends. Some of them even becoming pregnant at a very very young age.
I can see where he would brag about it on MS. A lot of parents of either child do not even monitor their child's MS or even know they have one. I did notice that he did say they had just gotten back together again. So it does make me wonder if the mom broke it up and they snuck around and were together again. This girl sure doesn't look like my 11 year old grandchild. She looks more like 15 in her photo, imo.
It is obvious that the mother who received 2nd degree burns on her body was very lacking when it came to her child and that is an understatement but for all we know she may have tried to continually stop this relationship and that added fuel to the flames (no pun intended).
I am not so quick to assume that all 7 calls to the police in the last year were because of DV toward the daughter by the mother. There may have been calls made because both the boy and girl were acting violently or threatening even back then. On that we will have to wait and see just who made the calls and what the circumstances were.
I must agree with Lonetraveler on this one though. We must hold the ones who did these horrific crimes accountable for if we do not and excuse their behavior each and every time due to having a dysfunctional life then they will never have accountability or remorse for what they have done.
Millions upon millions of households across our country unfortunately have dysfuctionality in them and the vast majority of them do not do unspeakable acts like this one.
imo
