Disney's Tick-Tock Snatch A Boy!

Orlando deals with another tragedy. A toddler got snatched by an alligator.

The wife of the terrorist who killed 50 at Pulse is under federal watch for not tipping the law.

Many witnesses say that the terrorist was either gay or bisexual. The terrorist was on social media trying to find a date. Some of the club goers said that the terrorist was a regular at gay nightclubs.

Four of the deceased worked at Universal Studios theme park.

Orlando is the hub of magic. The magic is diminishing.

The city of Orlando and Walt Disney World both express sorrow for the family of a 2 year old boy who was snatched up by an alligator.

The boy was wading near the Seven Seas Lagoon when a 7 foot alligator took him under.

Trappers says that alligators see food regardless of what it is.

Disney posted "NO SWIMMING SIGNS" near the lagoon. There were no alligator warning signs.

The father was in the water trying to grab the alligator but the animal is way too powerful to drop the boy.

Once the alligator grab something, its likely to decapitated the prey.
Florida alligators are dangerous in populated areas. People go near these animals. Alligators are fast on land and deadly in the water.
A few weeks ago in Lakeland, trappers nabbed an alligator spotted with a human torso. The victim was not identified at the time. It has become a bigger problem now that an invasive Nile crocodile population affects the Florida alligator population.

Orange County sheriff Jerry Demings has to now deal with another horrific tragedy.

I happened to notice that the junk food media isn't looking into the criminal record of the father or mother. Is there going to be criminal charges for the family for allowing their child go into the water when it said not to.

Remember the boy at the Cincinnati Zoo being grabbed by a gorilla. The junk food media was attacking the mother for allowing her son get into the enclosure and father (who wasn't there) for having minor criminal history.

World News Today send our condolences to the family of the toddler.

We continue to cover the Orlando massacre and the death of Christina Grimmie.

Ohio Woman Puts Her Own Kids Down!

Mother of the year. Brittany Pilkington is facing a capital case for the death of her three children. The defense claims mental issues and spousal abuse as the reason.

The residents of the city of Bellefontaine, Ohio are shocked. To hear that a woman killed three of her children because according to the junk food media, she was jealous of her husband's close relationship to them, is beyond belief.

This woman is being held on a $1 million get out of jail free card. She is innocent until proven guilty.

Brittany Pilkington, 23, is charged with three counts of capital murder. These charges could land her in the gas house.

Right now, her attorneys are going to try to say that "she flipped". The defense is going to line up the fact that she has mental issues and the intelligence of a pre-teen. I am peeping out the social media and she's kind of loony.

Many in the law have sensed that the danger was there. Logan County Family Services have done routine checks on Pilkington and her kids. She was the mother of four children. When her first child died because of unknown circumstances, the law ordered mandatory checks on the family.

In July 2014, she lost her 3-month-old son, Niall. In April of this year, her 4-year-old son, Gavin, would die. Authorities were still trying to determine the cause of Niall and Gavin’s death at the time of Noah’s passing.
Bellefontaine mom killings
Gavin and Niall died because of smothering.
So it was totally understandable that police would like to have a talk with Brittany. After just a few hours of questions, Brittany admitted she had killed her sons by placing blankets over their faces and suffocating them.

Her motive? According to Brittany, she killed the boys because her husband was giving them more attention than he was their 3-year-old daughter, Hailey.

“In her mind she was protecting her daughter from being not as loved as the boys were by their father,” said Logan County prosecutor William Goslee.

Noah and Hailey had only been back with the couple for a month, having been in the custody of Logan County Children’s Services shortly after the death of Gavin.

“Why would you give them back after a little boy just died and when you’re in the middle of an investigation?” asked Brittany’s uncle. The answer to that is the fact that a coroner had just concluded Gavin’s and Niall’s deaths weren’t suspicious.

Brittany Pilkington was arrested and charged with three counts of murder and is being held in the Logan County jail. Her daughter is back in the custody of Logan County Children’s Services.

According to the Colubus Dispatch, Brittany married her husband in March 2010 when she was 18 and he was 38. Her husband has four spare children from previous marriages who also do not live with him.

World News Today send our condolences to the family of Gavin, Noah, and Niall.

An Evil Man Ran Down Three Girls!

This undated photo provided by the Santa Ana Police Department shows Jaquinn Ramone Bell, 31, who was arrested on Sunday, Nov. 2, 2014 in Stanton, Calif. where he was staying in a motel with his two children. Bell was booked for investigation of felony hit-and-run causing the deaths of three teenage girls who had gone trick-or-treating on Halloween.  (AP Photo/ Santa Ana Police Department)
This evil man ran over three girls. To think, this asshole is a father of children.

In the past week, three girls were killed by a reckless driver in the Los Angeles metro area. The Santa Ana police nabbed Jaquinn Bell after this evil man drove his vehicle into three young teens who were celebrating Halloween.

The Associated Press reports that the alifornia driver who police say struck and killed three teenage trick-or-treaters on Halloween before fleeing with his own children had recently pleaded guilty to a separate hit-and run, authorities said Monday.

Bell, 31, of Orange drove a black Honda SUV through a marked crosswalk on Friday near an elementary school in Santa Ana, hitting 13-year-old twin sisters Lexi and Lexandra Perez and their friend Andrea Gonzalez, police said.

We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to families of Andrea Gonzalez, Lexi and Laxandra Perez. These young girls didn't deserve this type of fate. This senseless tragedy could have been adverted.

Lexi and Lexandra Perez were twin sisters.
The victims, wearing costumes, were found lying in the street.

Authorities believe Bell fled with his two teenage children after ditching the damaged car in a nearby parking lot. He was arrested Sunday at a motel in Stanton, Santa Ana police Chief Carlos Rojas said.

"He left. He did not try to render aid, and thank God for other witnesses there who contacted the police department and allowed us to respond rather quickly," Rojas said. "Unfortunately it was a tragic end."

It was unclear why the driver fled the scene.

Brenda Gonzalez, Andrea's 24-year-old sister, said she went looking for the girls after her mother heard a loud car crash and wanted to warn them to be safe. As Gonzalez neared the scene, she saw the pillowcases the girls had been carrying to collect candy and the tutu her sister wore.

"The first thing that came through my mind was, why isn't anybody helping them," she said. "A few seconds later I realized, you know, there's a reason they're not helping them. They're gone."

Trick-or-treaters were also injured and killed in collisions in New York, Florida, Washington state and the nearby Orange County, California, city of Irvine, where a 65-year-old man died after he was struck by a car. His 4-year-old son was in critical but stable condition.

In Santa Ana, Bell was arrested for investigation of felony hit-and-run causing death and was being held on $500,000 bail. The case has been referred to the district attorney for possible charges. It was unclear if Bell has an attorney.

Andrea Gonzalez and her best friends were killed by an evil man.
Online court records show Bell pleaded guilty in August to misdemeanor counts of child abuse, driving under the influence and hit-and-run with property damage. He was sentenced to 10 days in jail, three years' probation, and alcohol and child abuse treatment programs, according to a court spokeswoman.

He has prior convictions for reckless driving, spousal injury and violation of a protective order, the records show.

Santa Ana police Cpl. Anthony Bertagna said Bell also had two outstanding bench warrants for $30,000 as of Monday. Further details on the warrants were not immediately available.

Police said they initially also detained Bell's 17-year-old son, 14-year-old daughter, mother and half-sister at the motel with Bell but later released them.

At the scene of the crash, residents have set up a makeshift memorial with dozens of balloons, flowers and candles. People gripped by the tragedy continued to stop to pay their respects.

Gonzalez said her younger sister, who loved music and baking, decided not to go to a Halloween party this year so she could trick-or-treat with her family. She tried to choose the least expensive costume.

"She was so selfless. She never asked for anything," Gonzalez said, wiping away tears. "She didn't even want to ask my mom for a costume for Halloween."

This charge being a convicted felon could carry him LIFE in the IRON COLLEGE. And of course, he's innocent until proven guilty. But given the record, he was saying to the judge, "Fuck ya! I'm going to drive, regardless of what you bitch ass judges say!"

Now this time, this father may never see his children graduate. He may never see his children get married or have children if he's sentenced to LIFE in the IRON COLLEGE.

KFC Employees: We Didn't Kick The Little Girl's Family Out! You've Been Had!

Little girl's injuries are real. The story about being thrown out of a KFC in Jackson, MS isn't!

The controversy over in Mississippi takes another turn. And this turn comes back like a boomerang.

The controversy was driven by the reaction of a mother who claims her 3-year old daughter was bullied and shamed out of a KFC. The mother claimed that the restaurant employees at a Jackson, MS location told them that their little girl was disgusting. The little girl was permanently disfigured after a pitbull attack.

The incident left the little girl scarred and blinded in her right eye. The website Victoria (Wilcher) Victories pulled about $250,000 in donations across the world. It also promoted a boycott against the KFC location where they've claimed they eaten at.

Well the people over at Yum! Brands was not pleased over this controversy. So before they were to fire out the cannon the employees and manager of the locations, they needed proof.

Well the surveillance cameras tell us....nothing much.

Just another good sales day at the two local restaurants in the vicinity of this family.

Sources with knowledge of KFC’s investigation told the Laurel Leader-Call that surveillance video from both KFC restaurants near the hospital showed no customers who matched the description of Mullins or her granddaughter.

The source said no orders were recorded to include mashed potatoes and sweet tea in the same transaction on that day.

No hospital patient had ever been asked to leave one of the two restaurants near the hospital, the source said, adding that he had seen people who suffer from a variety of ailments eat at the restaurants.

“We have never, ever, ever run off anyone, and we have seen some really, really sick people come to the restaurant from the hospital,” the source said. “We’ve had people come in who were shot in the face. We’ve had them with tubes and wire sticking out. We never have asked anyone to leave.”

The sources spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not permitted to speak on the record.

The family initially told KFC the incident happened at the restaurant on State and High Streets, and they made similar claims on the “Victoria’s Victories” Facebook page maintained by the girl’s aunt.
KFC was doped by a scheming family. They used their badly injured daughter to scam the restaurant out of money.
However, that store has been closed for several years, and another post made on the page Friday claimed that information was inaccurately reported and that the incident had actually taken place at the Woodrow Wilson Drive location.

Employees and managers at both KFC locations in Jackson said they have endured death threats, had drinks thrown at them through the drive-through window, and faced constant verbal harassment since the family’s claims went public.

KFC donated $30,000 to help pay for the girl’s medical bills after she was attacked in April by three pit bulls owned by her grandfather, Donald Mullins.

Mullins and his girlfriend, Rita Tompkins, were arrested and charged with child endangerment, but were freed on bond.

Victoria suffered several broken bones, severe facial scarring, and has been fed through a tube.

A Las Vegas plastic surgeon has offered to cover the cost of reconstructive procedures — which typically cost tens of thousands of dollars — through his nonprofit organization, and other doctors have offered their help.

The family claimed on Facebook that they had been fighting with their insurance carrier over the cost of the girl’s medical bills, but they never identified the carrier.

The official findings from the report are expected this week, and the family claimed the investigation would back their claims.

“I promise (it’s) not a hoax, I never thought any of this would blow up the way it has,” the family said on Facebook. “The article circling the web calling this a hoax is untrue. The article (itself says) the investigation is not complete. It is not over until KFC releases a statement.”

Victoria Wilcher, you're beautiful. Your family, not so much. Here's where I draw my conclusion to this controversy.

The young girl was being used in a deliberate plot to fraud and scheme a business out of millions. At first, I wanted to believe this. I felt sorry for the family. That little girl's life will forever be changed.

I can't vouch for the reckless behavior of dog owners. But someone should have been thrown in the iron college for letting their dogs attack that innocent child.

But this family lied on their daughter. I have no care for this. I am so done with sympathy towards people stories. I am going to not rush to conclusions.

I promise you. If I hear more stories about Black on White crime or victims of discrimination stories, I will take them with a grain of salt. We need to see the video. We need to hear the audio. We need to see pictures.

From now on before I post, I will make sure I get proof.

The law and children services haven't look into this yet. But it will eventually come forth.

KFC: Take That Little Girl Out Of Our Establishment!

Victoria Wilcher was a victim of a dog attack. She suffers even more horrors as she goes with her family to one of America's fast food giants.

The fast food giant is doing damage control after one of its restaurants chased off a young child. The restaurant employees were so rude to a mother and her child, this managed to bring up a major controversy.

Victoria Wilcher is a toddler who was severely injured by a pitbull. She suffered a broken jaw, the loss of her right eye and permanent facial scars.

The 3-year old and her mother were eating at Jackson, MS area KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken).

Apparently the manager and some employees told the mother and child to leave cause her injures were scaring the customers.

Now the mother went to the junk food media to shame these employees out of the restaurants.

The Jackson Clarion-Ledger reports that Victoria's Victories page page follows the medical updates for Victoria Wilcher.

The girl's photo shows Victoria bearing the facial scars of an April pit bull attack, and an eyepatch with a cartoon girl's face.

Some KFC locations closed in America. 
KFC spokesman Rick Maynard said by email, "KFC launched an investigation as soon as we were made aware of this report. We take this very seriously, as we have zero tolerance for any kind of hurtful or disrespectful actions toward our guests. Our investigation is ongoing, but we will make things right for this beautiful little girl and her family, and will work with the franchisee to take appropriate action at the restaurant."

And KFC @kfc tweeted this reply to a Clarion-Ledger staffer, "We are working hard to make this right for the family. We do not tolerate the behavior that happened in our restaurant."

On the Facebook thread earlier KFC posted, "KFC Please accept our sincere apologies while we try to investigate this incident," asked for more details and said the company has zero tolerance for any kind of disrespectful behavior by team members. "Once we have further details, we will immediately investigate this and take action, and we wish nothing but the best for Victoria in her recovery."

A Facebook status report say Victoria suffered a broken upper and lower jaw, broken nose, cheek bones and right eye socket and lost her right eye from the attack. Her bottom jaw has been reconstructed and additional surgeries await. The family is struggling financially; the Facebook report asks for prayers and support.

In the attack in Simpson County, the child had been dragged from her grandfather's mobile home by three pit bulls and had bite marks all over her body. The dogs were put down immediately.

The thread has been shared by about 900 readers, prompting many to respond with support of the girl or outrage at the restaurant. The thread said the incident happened at a KFC on State Street, but there isn't currently a Jackson KFC with that address. One on Meadowbrook is close to State Street.

"Beautiful little girl. She is welcome to dine at my table anytime," Leslie Reeves posted on the thread.

Janet Way Walker posted, "This is beyond cruel."

In the lastest posting Victoria's Victories says KFC has reached out for more information thanks to the overwhelming support for Victoria.

We here at Journal de la Reyna wish Victoria a speedy recovery.

She is a beautiful toddler. Hope this situation will be resolved. No person regardless of race, gender, sexuality, religion, nationality, disability. political or economic standing should be discriminated.

Your Teens Are Surely In Trouble!

12 year old girls were charged as adults in the stabbing of their former friend.

As I gather my thoughts together on the Beau Bergdahl controversy, I want to deviate.

There was a story about two teenagers who are now charged as adults for stabbing a fellow teen with 19 stabbing wounds.

Their pictures are in the press and the charges could carry them life in the iron college. These two girls are barely of competence and yet their charges are very serious.

They stabbed their fellow classmate over a fictional character known as the Slender Man.

In Wisconsin, Morgan Geyser and Anissa Weier stabbed the victim because of a perception of the girl being associated with Slender Man.

CNN reports that the two girls lured a third girl into a wooded area in Waukesha, Wisconsin, over the weekend and stabbed her 19 times, according to authorities.

The suspects allegedly left the victim to crawl to her own rescue. The three girls, all 12 years old, were friends.

A bicyclist found the wounded girl alive Saturday, lying on a sidewalk in Waukesha, Police Chief Russell Jack said. She was in stable condition at a hospital Monday.
Never heard of the Slender Man.
The girls were trying to impress a certain "Slenderman," according to a criminal complaint. One of the girls encountered the name on a website known as Creepypasta Wiki.

Slenderman is a fictional character and Internet meme that often appears in horror stories, videos and images. One of the suspects told police that Slenderman is the site's supposed leader, and to climb into his realm, a user must kill someone.

On Tuesday morning, a lengthy statement was posted on www.creepypasta.com.

The statement expressed condolences for everyone involved and stressed that the site does not condone or encourage violence in any way. But it also noted that "it's hard to justify pinning blame on an entire genre of writing."

Creepypasta is a play on the term "copypasta," which is derived from the keyboard action "copy-paste." 

Creepypasta is horror fiction written with the Web in mind and, often, comes in a style that makes it look like a news or true crime story.

According to the criminal complaint, the suspects had been planning the attack since February.

They first thought to kill the victim by placing duct tape over her mouth while she was sleeping and stabbing her in the neck, the complaint says.

Next, the plan was to kill her in a park bathroom where there was a floor drain that could make cleanup easier, it continued.

But, finally, the girls decided to carry out the attack in the park while playing a game of hide-and-seek, the complaint says.

It states: "As they left for the park ... (the victim) was walking in front of them and Geyser lifted up the left side of her white jacket and displayed the knife tucked in her waistband. Weier stated she gave Geyser a look with wide eyes and, when asked what that meant Weier stated, 'I thought, dear god, this was really happening.' "

The Slender Man (also known as Slender Man or Slenderman) is a fictional character that originated as an Internet meme created by Something Awful forums user Eric Knudsen (a.k.a. "Victor Surge") in 2009. 

It is depicted as resembling a thin, unnaturally tall man with a blank and usually featureless face, wearing a black suit. Stories of the Slender Man commonly feature him stalking, abducting, or traumatizing people, particularly children.

The Slender Man is not confined to a single narrative, but appears in many disparate works of fiction, mostly composed online.

We here at Journal de la Reyna send our prayers to victim of this senseless tragedy. Hope the best for the young girl who was stabbed by these "friends". 

With friends like this, it's no wonder why I keep to myself a majority of the time.

Details Emerge About Missing Women In Cleveland!

Amanda Berry, reportedly found alive
Found. Amanda Berry busted out of kidnapper's home and call the police. The woman along with two others were found in a Cleveland home. The FBI and Cleveland Police are investigating three men who held these women captive for over a decade.
The FBI and Cleveland Police are investigating three individuals involved in a kidnapping of long forgotten teenage girls who became captives.

The junk food media finally pays attention to the abduction of two teens who were missing for over a decade. The media had long forgotten about Amanda Berry and Gina DeJesus for the Aruba incident.

Nonstop wall-to-wall coverage of Natalee Holloway and the suspect Joran Van der Sloot kept the media busy. It helped ambulance chasers Nancy Grace, Greta Van Susteren, Rita Cosby and Geraldo Rivera in the spotlight. They were investing their time worrying about this story more than a two young girls missing in Cleveland.

Today the news of the bold actions Amanda Berry (and her daughter) are being the talk of the nation. Berry along with the two other women were freed from captivity by a good samaritan.

Charles Ramsey on the act of cautious fear helped Berry, DeJesus and Michelle Knight escape from their horrible ordeal. Over 10 years of being missing, the young women were hid in plain sight.

Ohio governor John Kasich, President Barack Obama and Cleveland mayor Frank Jackson were informed about this during the night.

There will be a press conference to detail what happen. 52-year-old Ariel Castro and two of his brothers are being held in Cuyahoga County lock-up in regards to their involvement. Castro appears to be a former school bus driver.
Ariel Castro, the kidnapper.
This type of incident will assure they'll face federal charges. The FBI will interview the woman and get the information necessary to put those horrible individuals in the iron college for life.

It's a rarity that missing children are found alive especially after years of being missing.

The most famous missing women were Elizabeth Smart and Jaycee Dugrad. Smart was kidnapped from her home and found at least nine months later. Smart went on to become a victim's rights advocate and a married woman. Dugard was kidnapped for over 10 years and had children with her captor.

Initially, thoughts of death were in the minds of the family. But hope wasn't lost.

The Plain Dealer reports, Berry called police Monday afternoon and frantically told a dispatcher that she was alive and free after being kidnapped 10 years ago and held captive in a house on Seymour Avenue.

"We've confirmed it's them," a Cleveland detective said. "They are alive and safe." Police have scheduled a news conference for 9 a.m. today.

Berry, now 27, DeJesus, 23, and Knight, 30, were taken to MetroHealth Medical Center. The FBI and police will interview the women, the detective said.

DeJesus, missing for nine years, and Knight, missing for 11 years, were with her.

Police arrested three brothers, ages 50, 52 and 54. Police did not release names.

But neighbors said one of them is the owner of the house, Ariel Castro, 52, a Cleveland school bus driver until last November who had lived in the two-story house since 1992. Records show he was arrested for domestic violence in 1993, but a grand jury declined to indict him.

Police were searching the house and yard Monday night and into this morning.
Amanda Berry and Gina DeJesus were found alive in a Cleveland home. Rarely missing children are found alive after being missing for years. They were held captive in a home located near downtown Cleveland.
Berry was the first to get out of the house, escaping through a broken door. A child came out behind her. Police then came and rescued the other two women, who were taken to the hospital. It wasn't immediately known who the child was.

Dr. Gerald Maloney, emergency room doctor at MetroHealth, said in a news conference Monday night that the three women were in fair condition.

"They are able to speak, they are safe, and hospital staff are assessing their needs and evaluating if they will spend the night," he said. "This is good. This is not the ending we usually see from these stories."

Knight, who was 19 at the time of her disappearance, was last seen at a cousin's house near West 106th Street and Lorain Avenue on Aug. 23, 2002.

Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson released a statement Monday expressing gratitude that the three women were found alive.

"We have many unanswered questions regarding this case, and the investigation will be ongoing," Jackson wrote.

Outside of MetroHealth, a large crowd awaited word on the women's condition.

Berry's cousin, Tasheena Mitchell, 26, who was 16 years old when Berry disappeared, said her brother had called to tell her the news that Berry is alive. But she said she received it skeptically, having had her hopes dashed by false reports in the past.

"She was my best friend," Mitchell said.

A friend interrupted her, "She's alive. She is your best friend."

"You're right," Mitchell continued. "She is my best friend. I'm so nervous. I'm so excited. They won't let me inside. But I will stay here all night if I have to."

Drivers passing the hospital and the neighborhood honked their car horns in support, while police protected the rescued women's relatives from a crush of TV news cameras and reporters.

Many in the crowd hugged and cried.

"They don't find people who go missing, you know," said Kayla Rogers, 23, who waited at the hospital for news of her friend. She attended Almira Elementary and Wilbur Wright Middle School with DeJesus. "I'm at a loss for words."

Rogers said she only attended one vigil over the years because it was too painful.
The home of the kidnapper. Seymour Avenue was quiet until Monday.
As the crowd grew outside of Castro's house, details about the mysterious resident circulated.

Jannette Gomez, 50, who often visits family and friends on the street, said Castro would park his motorcycle and red pickup truck behind the house, lock the gate and enter the house through a back door.

Occasionally, he would turn on a dim porch light, but the house was always dark, Gomez said. Shades blocked the windows, and at least one window was boarded up.

Gomez said he never had much to say, she said. He would say 'Hi' back, but there was never much conversation.

Castro's uncle, Julio Castro, who owns a store called Caribe at the corner of West 25th Street and Seymour, said he had mixed emotions about the discovery.

"For me, it's bad on one side and good on the other side."

Julio Castro said his nephew used to play bass in various bands that performed at a local club once owned by DeJesus' uncle. He said he believes his nephew knew the family from the club and the neighborhood.

Charlie Czorba, a Caribe customer who lives on Seymour, said he was stunned by how long the women had lived at the house undetected.

"This is our own backyard," he said. "These girls were locked up in our own backyard."

Another neighbor, Victor Pratts, who has lived on the street for about 25 years, said Ariel Castro would occasionally come out and ride a four-wheeler with him. But Pratts said he never saw any of the three women enter or exit the house.

Aurora Marti, 75, who lives across the street from Castro, said she was sitting on her neighbor's front porch talking Monday evening when an arm reached out of the front door at Castro's house.

"She was waving her arm and saying, 'Help me! Help me!' " Marti recalled through her daughter, who translated from her mother's Spanish.

The captive woman identified herself as Amanda Berry and said she was kidnapped 10 years ago.

Neighbor Charles Ramsey said he also heard a girl screaming, "Help, help me out." He said the girl looked familiar. He said he called 9-1-1.

Ramsey said Castro took off running while Ramsey kicked and broke the bottom of a door, allowing Berry to crawl out.

Police arrested Castro at a nearby McDonald's restaurant and brought the other two women out of the house, witnesses said.

Ramsey said he knew Castro, had even eaten ribs with him -- and had no idea the women or the child was in the house.
A relieved hero, Charles Ramsey gives a color interview about his role in saving kidnapped women.
"We never thought that man would do anything to anybody," Pratts said. "He was a bus driver."

Mike Iwais, a longtime resident in the neighborhood, lives in a house just a parking lot away -- about 200 feet -- from Castro's house.

"I used to see him walking around all the time," he said. "But I never saw nothing crazy. This is unbelievable. It's a miracle they found him, and it's a miracle those girls are alive. It's a blessing from God."

Michelle Knight's grandmother, Deborah Knight, said she had not yet heard from police but was waiting for some kind of verification that one of the women is really her granddaughter. Although Michelle Knight was reported missing more than a decade ago, family members concluded that she probably left on her own because she was angry that her son was removed from her custody, the grandmother said. She said her daughter believed she had last seen Michelle Knight several years ago in a van with an older man at a shopping plaza on West 117th Street.

A June 2004 story that appeared in the Plain Press, a West Side neighborhood newspaper, was written by someone named Ariel Castro and described the community's anxiety since the disappearance of DeJesus and Berry. A Plain Press spokesman said the Ariel Castro who wrote for the publication was a journalism student whose relationship to the man in custody is not known.

The author interviewed DeJesus' mother, Nancy Ruiz, and a group of parents waiting for their children to be released from Wilbur Wright Middle School. They spoke of the need for greater security and the fear that had settled upon the neighborhood.

"For seven weeks, Gina's family has been organizing searches, holding prayer vigils, posting fliers and calling press conferences," Castro wrote. "Despite the many tips and rumors that have been circulating in the neighborhood, there has been no sign of her. One thing is for certain, however. Almost everyone feels a connection with the family, and Gina's disappearance has the whole area talking."

Rachel Dissell and Peter Krouse contributed to this story. There will be updates on this.

The videos are explicit and we express discretion in this. Amanda Berry and hero Charles Ramsey call 911 and there will be explicit language from both.

Ohio Mother May Get Life In Prison For Death Of Son!

Ohio couple facing prison time for murder of toddler.

Although, I've distanced myself from my best friend (and two others I've previously associated with), I can testify that lives were changed that night when we found out that his son was dead! This friend experienced a traumatic incident in which he lost his youngest son to a crime committed by a man and the mother of his child.

Today, I want to share a brief and yet subtle opinion of this tragedy. It hits close to home because I know the individual and his family. It's been over a year since the death of his youngest son, and I am assuming that he's trying his best to move forward.

Joe Watson and Michelle Mooty are the people responsible in the death of a toddler named Levi Barrett.

Mooty who also was the mother of three other children was staying at the home of Watson.
My best friend's son Levi was killed in December 2011 by an abusive parent.
Watson and Mooty were a couple at the time when it was reported in December 2011, the boy was injured in a "fall" and taken to the hospital to be treated. The boy's injuries didn't amount to a fall! The police and county prosecutors didn't think the story matched up! With an indictment by the prosecutor, the mother and her boyfriend were charged with murder.

The police charged Watson with murder and Mooty with reckless endangerment and allowing child abuse.

Watson was recently sentenced for 15 to life in prison. Watson has a child with Mooty. He may never see his child ever grow up! Mooty right now is going to face her fate soon. Mooty could get 10 years to life if she is found guilty in this. She may lose her children to adoptive services and my friend will go through legal limbo to obtain custody.

They both realized that the court system is brutal on bad parents.
________________________________________


My Note To The Underwritten:

My friend isn't perfect. He's a struggling person with his own personal demons. For over 10 years, we've been friends. Through the good times and often bad times, I've tried to be there as much as I could! He didn't need my help, so we moved on!

My friend has a perennial habit of moving from home to home, job to job, from a girl to another girl, and from jail to court!

His personal demons began when he became a first time father! He met a woman near one of his jobs and became a father to his first child. He would eventually bailed out on his responsibilities as a parent.

He would later have two other sons by Michelle Mooty and eventually bail out on them. Although he loved his children, he wanted to venue into dead ends like drug dealing, selling stolen property and making enemies with friends and family. This all came to head when he realized that day he would never see his youngest son alive ever again!

As his first child grows up to become a teenager and his second child begins to understand life itself, my friend has to "get his ass" together to better himself for the sake of his children.

Now I've haven't spoken to him in nearly a year. I can only assume he'll have more children and keep a memory of his son either through his part-time career as a rapper or tattoos on his body. Something symbolic.

My other two friends are struggling as well.

My friend's first child comes from one my friends. She struggles as a mother of two with thoughts of her mother. Her mother was killed in a domestic violence dispute when she was very young and it permanently scarred her for life.

The last friend explained is former ex-girlfriend. This one comes from a troubled home. Being a rape survivor and a shooting victim seven years ago in December hasn't changed her from the reckless behavior. She nearly died in 2005, after one of her boyfriends shot her in the chest.

Each of these individuals are troubled. They've relied on me for years for personal advice and help in crisis after crisis. Each of them had opportunities as I to move on with success. Yet, we're still here with the burden of our personal demons.

I concluded that it's time to move away from them! I figured that problems may come and go from time to time, I figured that I exhausted my options and will no longer be a reliable friend.

I wish them all well, but as of today, they're issues aren't my problems anymore! I've got my own problems to deal with!
