Parents: Dying Girl, 7, Taunted by Neighbors in Trenton

Updated: Friday, 08 Oct 2010, 7:24 AM EDT Published : Thursday, 07 Oct 2010, 11:56 PM EDT

TRENTON, Mich. - Her family says 7-year-old Kathleen Edward is in the final stages of a degenerative brain disorder diagnosed as Huntington's Disease - the same disease which killed her mother, Laura, when she was only 24.

A neighbor who is feuding with the family admitted to posting grim depictions of Laura and Kathleen on Facebook, and also has a coffin hitched to a pick-up truck in front of the house - which the neighbor says is for a halloween decoration.

One photo depicts Laura in the arms of the grim reaper, while the other features Kathleen's face above a set of crossbones.

Police responded to the public feud Thursday, but no arrests were made.

A rally for Kathleen Edward has been planned for Saturday, Oct. 23 from 3 p.m. - 8:30 p.m. at Haas Park in Trenton.

The invitation reads: She has been tormented by sadistic neighbors. Please come and join us in showing Kathleen there are good people that care.

Well, I would say the other neighbors of the family being tormented need to “man up” and “deal” with that cold hearted neighbor in a “neighborly” way.

What the neighbors are doing isn’t sick, it’s sadistic.

Man oh man! If anyone needs a dozen eggs on Halloween, it’s these scumbags. What happened to the notion in society that young children are off limits? What happened?

We are becoming a more and more hate filled society.

Here’s a horrific story I just found about Mentor, Ohio...4 suicides because of school bullying and look how the bullies behaved at her funeral:

.....”Suzana Vidovic found her sister’s body hanging over the front lawn. The family watched, she said, as the girls who had tormented Sladjana for months walked up to the casket — and laughed.

“They were laughing at the way she looked,” Suzana says, crying. “Even though she died.”....

“Where is the Hollywood anti-bullying crowd to decry this sick travesty.”

They won’t care unless it is proven that the child enjoys gay sex.

There is a 100% chance that the evil neighbor is a leftist Democrat.

Unbelievable. Judging from the comments on the story, these people may be in for some attacks themselves.

Nobody has said what supposedly started this feud, not that anything justifies this horrible behavior.

"What happened to the notion in society that young children are off limits? What happened?"

Children have taken to the air waves smugly chastising adults over all manner of issues. Of course, they are are being exploited, but that's the answer to your question, IMO.

Leftists took control.

“We are becoming a more and more hate filled society.”

I have nothing against hate if it is appropriately directed. Even if you HATE your neighbor, what sort of sick person taunts him about his dying child? What we have here is not just hate, the neighbor is a sociopath at best and perhaps a psychopath.

Exactly. Also to decry the sorry bastards in the “church” that harasses and mocks the funerals of deceased servicemen and women.

May both groups burn in Hell.
