This angers me greatly... it has happened before, he had a history of violence. He just came out of jail. That grandmother allowed him back in her home and he killed his younger sisters. He stabbed a 17yr. old honor student to death and decapitated the 5yr.old. He then turned on the 9yr. old when SHE called the police, and what was the grandmother doing? Just cowering and she never called the police.... this is an example of why I can't stand it when you enable an abuser to stay in a home.

Why do things have to come to this extreme before anything was done?
I know the Haitian community is devastated by this recent event in Boston.

for the babies, this one resonated with me too.

I don't understand that grandmother either, my brother had some problems never that violent but the threats were just as bad and my mother continually let him come back, everytime he got out of jail she let him come back into the house, putting us all at risk. Now 40 years later( he's 55 and still the same) she is still crying because no one in the family will have contact with him or give him anything, she says he's her child and I understand that. I told her that if he showed up at my door I was sorry, he was not coming inside, I'd take him right down to greyhound and send his ass right back to cali. she said I was hateful, I said I didn't want my child to go through what I did growing up, never feeling safe in my own house.

I am reading up on other reports on this story.. I hear that the grandmothers is now saying that she was in the basement... but still, she didn't hear anything? Kirby (the 23yr.old man who killed his younger sisters) was fighting with neighbors moments before he returned to the house and killed his sisters.

Why were the police not called then? This whole story makes zero sense.

And I am with you butterfli... you are not hateful at all. You are wise to keep away a person that would harm you. I don't understand how any mother would keep enabling a son to act out with so much aggression. Any of my son's act out... their asses are on the street or in a halfway house, heck my daughter too. Do right or do it by yourself, I'm not gonna help you be a f***-up in life.
