Mom defends Queens 16-year-old arrested for punching woman down church steps as a ‘good boy’
NY Daily News ^ | 4/13/2024 | Kerry Burke

The mother of the teen terror accused of punching a Queens grandmother down the steps of a church is defending her son, calling the 16-year-old robbery suspect with a long arrest record an average kid who “does everything he’s supposed to do.”

“My son is a good boy,” the 54-year-old mother told the Daily News Friday night at her Queens home.

She said she was unaware that her son attempted suicide by wrapping his shirt around his neck and trying to choke himself while in custody at the 107th Precinct station house early Friday.

“I’m not aware of him having any mental problems,” she said. “It’s news to me that he tried to commit suicide.”

The suicide attempt occurred just before the suspect was due to be arraigned on robbery and assault charges for the brutal mugging of Irene Tahliambouris, who was punched and knocked down a flight of stairs outside the St. Demetrios Greek Orthodox Church in Briarwood on April 7.

Tahliambouris, 68, suffered a fractured skull and was hurt so badly that she didn’t recognize her own relatives for days as she recovered at the hospital, her family said.

The teen’s name was not publicly disclosed because of his age and he is being charged as an adolescent offender.

Besides the attack on Tahliambouris, the teen is also charged in a robbery just three days before.

In that case, the teen stalked a 50-year-old woman to a bank at the Rochdale Village Shopping Center, then followed her to her building, where she said he confronted her in the elevator and took her car keys. He fled in her car.

That’s almost exactly what I was going to post. Sociopaths are raised, not born. From the home to the school to the streets. We as society have already gone over the cliff. Whether we can grab a branch and pull ourselves back up to solid ground remains an open question…. But we should seriously rethink everything from the ground up. We need a completely different education system, we need discipline for delinquency, we need remedial measures. School is not optional and not just a place to park kids 7 hours a day. We need to give people hope and opportunity, not grievances. We shouldn’t even hear about grievances. Nobody cares about your skin color or ancestry or if you like to wear a dress or who you invite into your bed. Get your sh1t together and do something productive with your life and help others. Criminals preying on the elderly, sick and vulnerable deserve little mercy. There is no reason for government if it cannot do the very basic things that a society needs from it.

“this is the problem isn’t it....low iq parents defending their murderous low iq offspring...”

Stereotypes exist for a (good) reason.

Such animals are found dead all the time in the jungle. Not reported in the news and most remain unsolved...

In the early 60’s one of our local tv stations had a show called Juvenile Judge. They would take actual juvenile court cases and reenact them. Often times the child came from a home where a female grandparent would the child’s guardian. After questioning the child, the parent or guardian was asked about the child. Almost without exception the parent or guardian reported the child was never a problem. He’s such a good boy was often heard. The judge would then ask a probation officer if the child had previous contact with the court. Again, almost without exception, the child had a laundry list of prior offenses.

The mother of the vicious teen who punched a Queens grandmother down
the steps of a church is defending him: “My son is a good boy,” she said.


That’s what Jordan van der Sloot’s mother said of her jailed son who killed two women

A mother is always the last to know.

Every jail holding cell should be equipped with a rope with a noose at the end for anyone to use while there. Sure would save us time and money.

I like what you said. I wish the Woke would be told the hard truth instead of being catered to.
