@leslibless Where were the adults, and why did they not try to stop this? Any time I see a fight happening between two school aged kids, adults are quick to jump in and break it up.
NEW: 11-year-old boy stabbed to death in Chicago while trying to protect his pregnant mom from her ex-boyfriend who had just been released from jail.
Horrific.
Crosetti Brand, 37, was charged with first-degree murder for the death of Jayden Perkins.
Brand was released on parole after being sentenced to 16 years for a home invasion.
He was "paroled and placed on electronic monitoring last October," but then sent back after he threatened Smith and showed up at her home.
"While he was on parole, he threatened the female victim via text and also showed up at her home. He was sent back to prison in February for this parole violation," said Chief of Detectives Antoinette Ursitti.
After being released again, Brand showed up at Smith's home *the next day* which led to the murder of Jayden Perkins.
Brand was abusive towards Smith all the way back to September 2006 when she broke up with him. He threatened her with a gun and fired it in the hallway.
Jayden Perkins was stabbed in the chest while protecting his mother. His mother Laterria Smith who is 33-weeks pregnant, is in critical condition.
Rest in peace, Jayden. You are a hero.
@IanCrossland This is enjoyable to watch, but I could never have this. My kitty likes to play with all and any ball he could find and Iโm afraid he would choke on this one. I say he was a dog in a previous life because he chases any thrown ball and brings it back. Itโs adorable.
Tell me youโre a Midwestern white girl without telling me youโre a Midwestern white girl.
Well, itโs under 75 degrees, so I have chili on the stove and pumpkin spice air fresheners all around my house.
@JoshMalina Someone enlighten meโฆ why would someone be an antiseminite? I donโt get it. I guess I have a brain that accepts everyone for who they are and doesnโt find a reason to hate.
