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.

I have no idea what you do for a living, but whatever it is I certainly hope writing is either a vocation or an avocation. I felt as if I were in the room with you. Thanks for the tears—you are very talented.
As soon as this hit the news there was a FB page set up, both to torment the tormentor and a page set up for Kathleen’s family.
Over 2600 people have posted so far, very very nasty comments.
We need to bring back shunning and I don’t mean the liberal “Don’t talk to them” type of shunning. I mean drive them out of the neighbohood and deprive them of everything type of shunning.
I wouldn’t use lead because it’s too fast. Fire gives them time to consider what they have done in their past life.
If you would like to be added or dropped from the Michigan ping list, please freepmail me.
We all know you're a harmless little fuzzball, so nobody here will take you seriously. Or will they???
Ah, so this woman invited her kids to this girl’s birthday party and when the girl’s parents didn’t answer her text msg demanding to be invited fast enough, she got all bent out of shape. She’s been in the wrong from the get go. She looks the type. She has an ugly face that only comes from having an ugly heart.
Leftists took control.
Yep. Their women view a baby in the womb as a parasite, and children as a burden to be tolerated at best and an obstacle to their 'self development' at worst.
For all their bullsh*t about "love and caring", they are cold and heartless creatures who only see value in children when they can be exploited or tormented.
They serve their master well, and will be 'rewarded' for that when the time comes.
If you get the chance, mentor one of their kids--keep politics out of it as much as possible. Do it for the kid, it's fun. The influence you have will take care of their politics later.
For those who don't like that idea, consider that the liberals have been requiring Conservatives to send their children to the Public Indoctrination camps for 9+ months a year for a long time.
I totally agree with you!
Sick as it is, what she is doing probably isn’t illegal, but I’d bet some conscientious cops could find a dozen things to cite them for (tho Trenton has the highest crime rate for a city its size in the US). Their neighbors could call the zoning dept if their grass was 1/2” too long. Just harass them right out of the neighborhood. But then another neighborhood would be stuck with them.
I spent two years mentoring, tutoring, and assistant teaching in inner city elementary schools. They were so happy and adorable you would never guess they had a crack addict for a mother and her abusive boyfriend as a stepfather. It was probably because I treated them like human beings. It really doesn’t take much.
Some liberal a few years ago taught these people ‘self esteem’ - without connecting it to decent behavior. These folks are lowlifes - and I’ll bet their democrats.
Yep. They remember you for it, and some will try to be more like you. That’s how some get saved from following in others’ footsteps.
This is an insult to the morality of cats.
The wife seems to be strung out on something...

Obama supporter?
This is not the Trenton that in 1789 erected a triumphal arch in honor of George Washington as he passed through to take his oath of office at Federal Hall in New York City. Couldn’t be the same Trenton, could it? It must be a different set of Trenton people then, for some must have lost their sense of decency in the “brave new world.”
For years now, obits do not carry addresses of the deceased, for it was once common for thieves to prowl homes when funerals of loved ones were in progress. Some Americans are really depraved, but they do stand up for “their” “rights”.
Mea culpa. The Trenton with the nation’s highest crime rate for a city its size is in NJ. There’s apparently a Trenton in MI. Who knew?
