A Florida teenager who authorities say killed his mom when he was 15
after an argument about his school grades was sentenced Friday to
45 years in prison.

Gregory Ramos, now 17, reportedly pleaded guilty to first-degree murder
last month in the strangling death of Gail Cleavenger, 46, in 2018.

After he killed her, he buried her underneath a burn pit at a nearby
church and reported she had gone missing after he staged a fake burglary
at the house, authorities have said, according to FOX 35 in Orlando.

He’s a “white Hispanic” so he’ll have plenty of friends to gang up with in the clink.

Such a scenario can happen in any family of any race.
The difference is such a family encourages ambition and consider themselves to be upwardly mobile, vs being content to just tread water financially until retirement.

Good for your Dad. Back in his day, cops could do the public a favor and not get fired for it.

What I do know is this kid is very sick and needs to stay locked up.

I don't know that he's sick. Crazy people aren't able to stage elaborate hoaxes to try to avoid having their crimes discovered. This guy is just a murderous criminal. He belongs in prison for the rest of his life.

A very chilling original article on the case.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2018/11/06/teen-who-killed-his-mother-over-bad-grades-is-very-proud-his-work-police-say/

He told police he had used the techniques he learned in criminal-justice classes to try to throw off detectives, . . .

He has a Hispanic last name, but is a red headed white boy. The article refers to his step-father who was away on business. His mother was an architect so the family was well off.

Media Mike Chitwood’s son is now Sherriff of Volusia County. Apparently he has learned well from his father about use of the media.

No, he still has a step-father. I could not find any reference to his bio father.

She offered her honor.
He honored her offer.
And all through the night
it was honor and offer, honor and offer...

Knew of a kid once who shot his teacher with 1911 for getting his first B.

The bullet deflected off the teacher's glasses and lodge in his cheek.

He stood there saying what the h3ll was that.

Probably thinking something was thrown at him.

It’s one thing if a kid is just plain dumb and is incapable of good grades, however it’s another thing entirely if the kid is capable of high achievement and is too lazy or too careless to perform well. The difference is readily apparent.

I take it he wasn’t an Honors student?

I take it you weren't, either?

Bet he wanted his Mommy, that he killed, as he stood in that court room. Such evil.
