Dear Lilliana: Children And Pets Are NOT Game Pieces!

I'm a little hostile this morning, but that's because I get sick of hearing about women who are willing to put their children (and in this case, a pet, too) in harm's way, all because a man wants to leave them.


A puppy is dead after Maricopa County sheriff's deputies said a woman arguing with her boyfriend tried to keep him from driving away by placing her children at either end of his moving vehicle and then throwing her pet under the tire.


Twenty-seven year old Lilliana Campo of Phoenix,Arizona,is the woman accused of using her children and her puppy as "pawns" to keep her boyfriend, Gary Jeffries from leaving. The puppy had to be put to sleep because of his injuries, but the children are fine. Campo was charged, booked, and released. From another article I have read, the children were placed in the custody of CPS.

Perhaps the most ironic and disturbing part of this whole incident is that it appears the boyfriend is still with Campo. He even got her a new puppy.

Here's this quote from Jeffries, regarding the puppy that was accidentally run over by him.


"We had him for a week," Jeffries, Campo's boyfriend, told CBS 5 News. "She had slept with the puppy by her side. It was like her child."
Yeah, she allegedly killed a puppy, which was "like her child". Which really makes a person wonder how far she would be willing to go to hold onto her man, should another argument suddenly break out.

Guided by practical experience and not theory, especially in medicine Kennedy hate crimes rider may doom Hatch's sex offender bill By Robert Gehrke The Salt Lake Tribune WASHINGTON - A fight over federal hate crimes legislation could torpedo Sen. Orrin Hatch's push to strengthen the nation's sex-offender registries and clamp down on sex crimes. The Senate Judiciary Committee gave quick, unanimous approval to Hatch's bill Thursday, clearing its way for consideration by the full Senate. But Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., said he plans to try to attach language to a bill that would require tougher sentences, provide federal assistance and offer grants to prosecute hate crimes - those motivated by hatred for a race, religion, gender or sexual orientation.

Boyfriends...

I sometimes wonder if certain men have some sort of animal DNA breed into them. The type of DNA or whatever it is that makes animals ritually preform certain actions. Like lions, when a male lion takes over a pride it'll often kill the offspring of the previous male, before mating with the female lions and creating cubs of it's own. I only wonder this, because it seems like there are an overwhelming number of men out there that end up killing the children of their girlfriends, not all of them do- but on a case by case comparison between girlfriends killing their boyfriends offspring and boyfriends doing it, it just seems that it's a lot more common amoung men. NOT THAT ALL OF THEM DO THIS... there are some great boyfriends/stepfathers out there that actually take care of kids as if they are their own... but then we have cases like Christopher Thunborg and Kashon Scott. Thunborg was babysitting his girlfriend's 11 month of baby in March when police say he caused ...
