My father murdered my mother
My father killed my mother when I was 7 years old.
Apart from the fact that I was crying a lot, I didnt really understand what happened.
Only now when Im older Im starting to realize the magnitude of that event.

I bunked with the girl at six grade camp, and I had known the guy since sixth grade.
He was in marching band with me.
The guy dropped out of school to get a job and support them.
I met the baby a couple times.

Then they put her body in a bin and dumped it into the river.
She was only two.
The investigation and trial lasted two years.
They both got life in prison.
She will be eligible for parole after 38 years, and he will never be eligible.
I found out about this on the news while I was at college.
I was in complete shock, because the girl seemed so normal.
She was never into alcohol or drugs, and she always seemed like a goody two shoes.
I went to the memorial service, and I talked to the father.
Fast-forward nine years, the father is now married with three children.

My best friend cut a rapists throat
My best friend Dave was the hardest motherfucker Ive ever known.
I saw him beat multiple people up at a time, multiple times.
He didnt take shit from anyone and was a real fucking gangster.
A guy rapes our friends sister.
Dave finds out about it and goes to the guys apartment.
Knocks on the door.
Rapist answers and promptly gets knocked out.
Dave then drags the dude into a closet and ties him up.
Rapist finally wakes up.
Then pisses on the rapist before he leaves.
Cops get called and they figure out it was Dave.
Dave goes on the run.
When hes finally caught, the rapist had been caught raping another girl.
Note girls come forward with rape charges, including our friends sister.
Dave only gets 9 months.
He was looking at 15-25yrs.
Howd it make me feel?
I knew if anyone fucked with my family that justice would be delivered regardless of the courts.
Dave is dead now.
Its been 10 years and I still miss him.

I was surprised, but not surprised if that makes sense.
This is the key in of shit that only happens in movies and other people right?
The year they were separated, he started on a downward spiral of stalking her/drugs/etc.
Right now I feel like fucking good riddance.
Hes one of those types that I believe cant be rehabilitated/theres just no fucking hope.
I hope he dies in prison because otherwise were in for another shit show once he gets out.

He ran in and bashed his fathers head in, killing him.
My husbands mother was never happy about going and didnt see the point in forgiving him so easy.
A lot of his aunts and uncles still see him often and speak fondly about him.

My sisters boyfriend murdered our mother
The boyfriend of my sister murdered our mother.
When I entered the street and saw all the police cars and ambulance I felt numb.
I did not know how to react I was not crying and I was not angry.
I just stood there before they escorted us to the police station to get interviewed.
And doing something fun we know she loved to see and them asking for grandma well it sucks.

My cousin was arrested for murder
Cousin got 30 for murder.
Hes a schizophrenic and had a mental break after going off his meds.
I actually saw him during this time at my grandmas funeral.
He was acting really weird but I knew he was schizo so I figured it was just his condition.
To be honest, I feel truly sorry for him.
He knows he made his bed, and he seems prepared to lie in it.
Theres actually more to the story, so if anyone cares to hear it Ill add to this post.

My best friend raped an infant
One of my best friends from school.
He was always really chill and just a really cool guy.
I was absolutely shocked.
It really taught me you really dont know people.

Ill call him Bob.
Met him at work.
He seemed a good guy.
I got pretty close with him and his brothers.
We would go fishing and generally drank and partied a lot.
One time he hit his GF in front of me in a gas station parking lot.
We all had been drinking and I got up in his face and pulled him away.
I met my wife while he and I were still close.
Bob would bust my chops about having gone MIA due to hanging with my GF all of the time.
He said I was pussy-whipped etc.
It was always in a joking manner.
I had not seen him in a few months and I ran into his older brother, Rufus.
I asked how Bob was and Rufus said he was in jail awaiting trial for murder.
I agreed to be there.
Warren laughed nervously and said, Self defense?
I said yes and repeated the story Rufus has shared.
Warren considered this and then told me Bob had stabbed the girl 19 times.
I was a little floored by this.
This was in 1989 and he is still in Angola State Penitentiary.

My father was arrested for child pornography
Oh shit, something I can talk about.
My father was arrested for child pornography.
He self-surrendered, and we drove with him to the prison.
When he comes back home, Im probably moving to another city.
All in all, it was the worst on my mother.
She also has a lot of guilt issues and feels terrible that she put me through this.
She promises to stay married to him.
I dont agree with it, but its her choice.
Ive gotten used to it now.
I might have been shocked for the first few days, but I recover pretty quickly.
All Im trying to do is support my mother for now.

My mother murdered my uncle
My mother murdered my uncle when I was 20.
(I just appealed to her during her saner moments and shed give me another one.)
I really wish he or my aunt had believed me that she was very dangerous and to him specifically.
Id really rather that he was alive today.
But I did what little I could at the time and have no regrets.
I knew she would want to track me down.
These days, any competent librarian could probably find me in 5 minutes flat.
I mean, when her mother was her age shed been dead for 15 years.

My stepbrother shot someone while high on drugs
My stepbrother got involved with drugs early on.
It can be bad road for some folks.
When he got involved with crack it got real bad.
He sold pretty much all of his stuff for drug money then moved onto our stuff.
Tried everything interventions, programs, changing locks, all of it.
Takes a toll on the family.
My mom and stepdad tried to get him help, but its not easy to kick.
He sold my Nintendo and all the games.
Anyhoo, when he ran out of our stuff he tried stealing other stuff.
Breaking and entering with one of his buddies.
She bled to death trying to get to the phone.
They both went away for a looooong time.
I figured theyd find him dead one day.
The shame is an innocent woman and you cant help but wonder did we do enough?
My stepdad visited him, my mom rarely did and Im still sour about the Nintendo and games.
My sisters ex molested my niece
I was really close to my sisters ex.
Even after they split up, we still kept in contact.
He was a like a brother/father figure to me.
I have trust issues now.

My father committed armed robbery
My father committed (and was convicted for) armed robbery.
In fact, I think that event scared him into who he is today.
Hes always done right by me, and always been there for me.
I wouldnt change him at allpast or present.
Its just sad to see him pine for what could have been.

The three who attacked thought there were still drugs.
All the perpetrators were in their early 20s and had decent jobs, including one as a fireman.
The victims were mostly students at my high school.
Unfortunately, it was less unexpected that they would have gotten into trouble.

A cousin of mine was convicted of murder.
With premeditation, he tried to rob a friends house and killed his friend in the attempt.
My immediate reaction was, I knew something was off about him.
I can totally see it and believe it.
Now, I feel for the his family.

Our drummer molested three young children
Had an old drummer from a band call me one day.
Hey The Red Paw, I am going to need a favor.
He needed me to go clean out his apartment as he would not be needing it for a while.
He is doing 18 to life.
I have not visited him in prison.
He can stay there for all I care.

He raped a 17 yo girl in my town, threatened her and landed in jail for rape.
A few years later, he got free and raped another teenage girl after a couple of days.
His younger brother, now a cop, had to arrest him.
I always knew that he is a pretty fucked up guy.

Really surprised me as he has always been nice to me and the other kids in the family.
Thats the only crime he has committed and now hes locked up somewhere in the city.
Im not allowed to see him, only my father and his other siblings are able to do so.
He left his wife and his two boys behind, the oldest is diagnosed with autism.
The mother now works full-time and is barely able to take care of their kids.
It breaks my heart.
Whats even sadder is that were the only ones trying to do our best to take care of them.
My father and I recently brought them on a fishing trip.

Im about five years younger than Steve and he was always my favorite cousin.
Hed turn the lights off upstairs and Id hide under the bed or wherever.
My dad found out we were playing this and he was furious, said to never do it again.
For context, Im female and was about ten when we played this game.
Anyways, Steve went to some kind of juvie jail for the rape.
He never apologized or showed remorse, so he stayed until he was 21.
When another cousin finally explained, I was heartbroken.
I havent seen him or talked to him since he was arrested.

A close friend was arrested for rape
A close friend was arrested for raping a 12 year old.
At first it was disbelief, then when I read the police report it was utter disgust.
He spent 2 years in prison and is now a registered sex offender.
Weve not spoken since the day before his arrest.
