Robin (mom) 31

Dionte (son) 17

I have a clear mental image

[henkster]

Mom is 31. Son is 17. You do the math.

You know you’re Amish when your mother stabs you to death over an ice cream cone.

Savage behavior - its not just for the third world anymore.

Thanks, Washington DC!

What flavor? It’s important to know before making a decision!

[dfwgator]

Sounds like an Eddie Murphy routine....

“I got some ice cream...I got some ice cream.....”

“You didn’t get no ice cream.....no you didn’t get none....’cause you on the welfare...you can’t afford it....and your dad’s an alcoholic. Wanna lick.....PSYCH!”

police were called to the house for various disturbances several times a week since the family moved in a year and a half ago.

Police say Robin Erwin called 911 and claimed the victim walked into the knife.

I hate when that happens.

Where is reverend Al? No $$$ for him unless the perp is white?

[Newtoidaho]

There’s probably a whole new Jeff Foxworthy routine there. You know you’re Amish when...

[Veggie Todd]

Don’t bring an ice cream cone to a knife fight.

Mom is 31. Son is 17. You do the math.

My brilliant deductive abilities arrived at the proper conclusion when I saw the name "Diontae". My fading math abilities were not required in this instance.

Eleven times.

People don’t kill people, knives do. ..when you walk into them.

“Disturbances several times a week for a year and a half”. And she still had custody because????????????
The youngest grandmother I have ever known was 32. Both she and her daughter had their first child at 16.

First comment from the link:

I scream, you scream because I stabbed you over some ice cream!

Now that's cold.

You can only get away with that one if you're Lana Turner's kid.

Same here, I know a girl who was a grandma at 31 and she was mad at her daughter because the daughter gave the grandchild up for adoption.
