Sadly both she and her unborn child are dead.

And her cop boyfriend is apparantly the perp. So very, very tragic.
Really am down about this: that young woman was a mother and looking forward to her second birth just weeks away. Hope they fry that bastard like a ham steak!

Agreed.. Just heard about this on the news... How awful...
Love is blind.... We arent having kids, but my nephew might be coming to live with me in the near future so... Until then my sister is rasing him and seeing how things go.. Her sister was beat too a pulp while pregnant in Knoxville TN a few years back and she and the kid never made it. Now my sister is rasing her daugter as well... My sister and i both are huge advocates of helping domestci abuse victims.. My dad was (he just sleeps and drinks now) an abusive drunk in the day and well... Awful... Ok, don't like commenting on these things but felt this was needed

Dear friends
I come here to avoid hearing about things like this.
At this moment, I am sincerely thinking about no longer reading or participating.
At the risk of sounding awful, none of you are local to this case, so what the heck difference does it make to you?

I'm With Maytagbear
This list is such a welcome respite from the news of the day. I live with a TV news junkie, and I come here to get away from the booming voices of the talking heads with their gloom, doom, and mass destruction...
"WHAT'S IN YOUR WATER THAT COULD CAUSE MUTATIONS?"
"AVALANCHES IN AUSTRIA- COULD THEY HAPPEN HERE"?
"SEAS RISING- LAKES SINKING- WHAT SCIENTISTS SAY IS HAPPENING!"
"A NEW KIND OF IDENTITY THEFT! IS IT HAPPENING TO YOU?"
"GAS PRICES REACH RECORD HIGHS, EVEN WITH STABLE CRUDE PRICES!"
"UNEMPLOYED MAN SHOOTS 17 FORMER CO-WORKERS AT OLD WORKPLACE!"
"BUSH VETOES EVERYTHING!"
"PARIS HILTON FLIPPED OUT FOREVER BY JAIL TIME? THE ANSWER IN SIXTY SECONDS!"
Today's crisis-oriented, sensationalistic news is becoming a major depressant. I need a break from it, and that's why I come here. I am not trying to tell anyone else here what they should or shouldn't post, but I would like to point out that the carnage, horror, and venality of the times in which we live are well and truly covered elsewhere.

I can certainly understand your wish to avoid talking about current events, especially tragic ones, here at AW. Toward this end, you might wish to bypass threads which state upfront that such events will be discussed within.

Um...
The thread title ("Missing Canton, Ohio Mother Found") did not state that the mother and her child had been killed; one only discovered the depressing truth when one clicked on the title and was taken to Launderess's first post and the link. It seemed possible, based on the thread title, that the woman and her unborn baby were safe.

my 2 cents.
I would say I agree with everyone on this thread to some degree. I too use AW.org as an escape from the crash and burn, "if it bleeds it leads" world of TV news. But, on the other hand, Launderess stated this is a story that obviously has affected him/her. All of us have often mentioned that we view each other as an extended family. Familes share opinions, at least mine does.
Outside of personal attacks or foul language, I don't think the Super Forum should be sensored in any way shape or form. We should however, be cognisant of the threads we post and keep in mind Robert's wishes.I think the occasional off topic post should be allowed, especially when it is supporting another member.
Have a great Sunday everyone!

I think it makes a big difference, doesn't matter where it is. Unless we all would like to live with, well, our heads up our asses, the fact that this kind of thing happens still today in our world should make a DAMNED big difference to us all. It's domestic violence at its very worst, and I can't imagine how anyone could ask what difference it makes. That's beyond me.
One----
I was certainly not approving of domestic violence or murder. A good friend of mine was murdered by her fiance ten years ago this month.
Secondly, my email address is in my profile. If anyone has a concern with something, anything I have said, they are more than welcome to email me.
Lastly, while this is heartbreaking, heartbreaking things happen every day everywhere.
I try to live in the solution rather than the problem. I donate material goods to shelters, I give food to the local food bank. It is easy. When my supermarket has a buy one get one, I give one to the food bank.
I have volunteered in places like a nursery for severely handicapped children. It does very little good, I think, to sit back and bemoan the state of the world, when there are easy, concrete ways of improving the world.
