Reply With QuoteThat's a dramatic thing when a neighborhood has violence visited upon it. I'm sorry for your family, and of course, this poor girl, for having to face this world in this way. There's no "half full" in a situation like this. It Sucks.

My daughter's friend's mom was murdered last night

Poor girl is 11 years old and now she is motherless and fatherless. They live 2 houses away. Strange thing is that we never heard or saw anything going on last night. Cops were everywhere.
This world is a crazy place.

These kind of things happening so close are a real shock. I feel for the little girl. Such a sad story. We see it over and over, which makes it difficult to see the promise in our fellow citizens and society.

My neighborhood has had several untimely deaths since I moved into my house 11 years ago.
A gal right outside my bedroom window (in a small cottage) got drunk, fell and hit her head. Wasn't found for days, only when her little dog started creating a ruckus.
One house away from the current death was an obese man who choked to death on a piece of steak while his friend and his son looked on.
This current death, however, is just incredibly tragic. The kids were sleeping and never heard a thing only to wake later to find their mom murdered. Sad.

Wow. That's just terrible.
When I was about the same age the mother of a girl in my class was murdered in our neighborhood. If I remember correctly, the ex-husband hired someone to take out the woman and her new husband. Luckily the kids were away for the summer at camp. None of us ever looked at that neighborhood quite the same way again. Sad that yours must now face the same thing and obviously tragic for the family of the victim.

I just can't imagine what that girl and her brother will have to endure the rest of their lives. Where do they go from here?

Man, I cannot believe that. Hard core. I hope they get whoever did it, and that the girl has some extended family or someone that can help. Not really impressed with Idaho social services, so I hope there is family somewhere.

So very sad. I pray the child gets a decent family to step up and take care of her.

Very sad, prayers to her ... hope they catch the perp.

They already have him. It's the step father. Just a week or two ago all my daughters friends were in a tizzy and I asked what was going on. My daughter told me that the father had pulled a knife on her friend's mom and that's why the cops were there at the house. So the mom got the guy thrown in jail and he got out on bail and came back and finished the threat. Loser!

I found out that the 13 year old son was awake at the time of the murder and stepped out into the hall just after it happened and saw the stepfather as he was leaving. Eye witness, and now the creep has no escape. I hope they mess him up good in prison.

Prayers to the family, and to yours, something like this is hard to understand, much less deal with, at least for some time.
Difficult as it can be for a time, karma seems to come around to good and bad alike.

playin' from the heart
It's hard to mentally process a story like this, I just can't comprehend violence. I know it's all around us, but it's just insane.
My heart goes out to those kids. Your whole neighborhood must be in shock ~
When I watch the news on tv I often think of how casually the newscasters are as they segue with a smile and upbeat voice from a story of horrific violence to a story about something like a local crafts fair. They must be so numbed out from repeating stuff like that. Just once I want one of them to stand up and demand what is wrong with people and express the real horror of violence.
At this point I think the whole world, at least the US, is almost numb to it. It's on nearly every tv program, the movies, in video games, just everywhere. Almost like it's supposed to be normal or something

We had a triple-murder happen yesterday afternoon in a "bump in the road" called Iron City. It's about 6 miles away. ANY murder is a shock in our community and it is a small place and usually a decent place to live. The really sad thing is that the 5 year daughter watched all this happen. I hope they fry this guy...

There is too much pain and hurt in this world. And it gets worse every day....
And my heart goes out to your daughter and her friend....

Spud & Big, the world is getting in horrible shape and it doesn't seem to leave anyone out. My oldest brother is a coroner and the drug problem is getting so bad here that over dose cases are just everywhere almost daily, in fact he had 3 in one day recently. The murder rate is up due to a lot of factors and I can't see much improvement in it. There is very few courts anymore that will give a death penalty for crimes and so no criminal is really afraid of committing crime. WE feed these punks for the rest of their life while kids are out there trying to build a new life without their parents, JUSTICE? My idea of Justice would be an eye for an eye that would put fear back in the law enforcement.
