Not to judge, but why is an 18 year old dating someone 16? At 10:30 in the morning, why are they not in school?

Parents are responsible for their kids not a school district. Strange comment coming from you.

Kathy Aug 21, 2013 - 5:27 pm

How about asking the parents first..

been here for a long time Aug 21, 2013 - 5:33 pm

Let me guess. Immature babby daddy, mad at his gf and doesn’t have the maturity to walk away. I am sure his parents are proud.

gene Aug 21, 2013 - 6:27 pm

18 years old well 2 counts of attempted murder will serve him well, I hope he prepared for San Quintin for at least a 10 year sentence. I am sure big bubba is just waiting for tough guy like this:0) prayers go out to the young mother and baby.

Nancy Aug 21, 2013 - 7:00 pm

@ Gene, not to mention Satutory rape if he is the dad.

He has tattoos so some tear drops and gang signs will just be a new addition.

Prison is where scum like this belong. Even the hard core prison population would love this new meat in their cell. Good luck boy. Don’t forget the lube.

KASSANDRA Aug 21, 2013 - 10:23 pm

All u b—hes can take your comments and judemental thoughts and stick it up your a–. go f– your self seriously. my little sister could have died and your concern is why they were not at school? Cough cough bitch cough yourself to death. She fought for her and her babies life, i wonder if you would all be saying the same thing if this was your family?? Not one person Said something positive. thank god she is alive maybe is something that would come across a normal civilized persons mind. despite the questioning of why this and that, this was a very sad thing that happened to my family. imagine how we feel reading this while thinking she could be dead. like one of your daughters or sisters could be as well.

Yes, we understand that this is a devastating event however you have to realize where others are coming from! Where are the parents of these teen age kids who should be in school? Maybe if they were more involved, a 16 year old girl wouldn’t be pregnant, if they were smart enough to access birth control from their local PPH. Just feel like people need to stop bringing children with dead beat parents into this world. Too many kids out here without parents, why add to the bunch! Sure people have sympathy, but don’t want to condone more activities like this. Had she not dated a low life scum, none of this would’ve occurred. Just saying… Truth!

KASSANDRA Aug 21, 2013 - 11:12 pm

MY PARENTS were at work. for your information miss nycole my whole family is very involved in eachothers lives and because a girl decides to become sexually active and chooses to become responsible for her actions and bring a beautiful blessing from god into the world does not make her a dead beat. i would consider a person who choses the easy way out of their actions more of a deadbeat. this world is not perfect and never has been, i am sure you did not come from a perfect family but if your mother wouldve birthed u at 16 would u judge her?! There is too much of EVERYTHING in this world but if we chose to take responsible actions from our doings then who is to judge??? If she would have been 30 would u still feel this way? MY PARENTS are very involved in mine as well as my 3 other sisters life. they are damn good parents and my family will get thru this and pull thru. this article was not posted for negative judgement, it was posted to help find him and put my family at ease. nycole i don’t know if u have siblings or kids, but imagine how we feel reading this. imagine if you got that call that someone in your family is hurt. our home is destroyed of damage from my sister fighting for her life. my PARENTS are distraught. an innocent puppy was stabbed by punk. Your negative judemental comments are not needed. we need info on this basturd. not commemts and jokes.

Kassandra: I understand your concerns and am so very sorry so very few posts on here offer sympathy or comfort to you and your family. Wishing you the best and that your sister and her baby have a speedy recovery. I hope to bring justice to this young man who is so clearly a punk and deadbeat. Do you or your family know what prompted his actions?

Nicole Aug 22, 2013 - 12:04 am

I understand and yes, you have a very biased opinion. You are damn correct, she is taking responsibility for being sexually active; kudos to her as well as to you for being so supportive to her in these hard times. I do know that an innocent puppie was injured and get that you’re family is going through hard times. May your family get peace and justice once he is caught- leading to locked away! Best wishes…

chris cm Aug 22, 2013 - 10:19 am

You are so right, I should die for making such a horrible comment Kassandra. I will get right on that.

chris cm Aug 22, 2013 - 2:39 pm

Telling someone to go die is a threat and not very nice. I am entitled to my opinion andvyou to yours ms. Kassandra cope.

AJ Aug 21, 2013 - 10:43 pm

Does it really matter if she is in school or not? Just be thankful she did not die and her baby did not die. Hope she gets well soon.

KASSANDRA Aug 21, 2013 - 10:47 pm

Thank you very much aj. and since everybody is so nosey, my little sister is pregnant with twins. they are all ok. Thank u for a positive comment. people are so rude and judemental. completey surpassed the point of this article

burkforoakley Aug 21, 2013 - 10:54 pm

We at EastCountyToday are glad your sister and her twins will be okay and pray for a speedy recovery. We also hope the dog will be okay as well.

@Kassandra, I hope the find Johnny Madden soon so you and your family can move forward and begin to put this behind you.

Angelo v Aug 22, 2013 - 12:33 am

Damn that’s some bull shit hope your sister is ok prayers your way

kathy Aug 22, 2013 - 1:12 am

This is a very sad event, and all the people with judgmental comments should back up and sit down. Look around at your lives before you go throwing stones. This little sister, Kassandra, is braver than all of you. She stood up to all the put downs, rude comments, rude questions, answered one and all, while praying for her sister and niece(s) and or nephew(s), as well as a beloved puppy. Shame on the idiots wagging their fingers or tongues, bite them and quiet yourselves. God Bless this family as well as Johnny’s, who are victims, as well.

Mama C Aug 22, 2013 - 2:00 am

I’m so glad the girl and babies are alive and recovering. What a horrible thing to go through. People can be deceptive and hide who they really are, as this young man apparently did. Hopefully, he stays out of the picture, so she can raise her babies in a safe, loving environment. I’m also glad the puppy will recover, from the sound of it. I’ll be praying for the family. Stay strong.

Rich Aug 22, 2013 - 2:50 pm

@KASSANDRA your an idiot and your sister is too. She will be back in situations like this again and again if she chooses to bring these types of people around. He didn’t just wake up and decide to stab someone he is scum, ghetto trash. This story is no different that any other one you would read in the news. This guy is an obvious piece of shit and she should be held accountable for dating him, sleeping with him and becoming pregnant by him. You call your sister responsible? That is about as far from the truth as it could get. How does a 16 year old girl plan to raise two kids responsibly? PT job at Taco Bell, welfare check for life, and living with mom and dad? …Yeah responsible.

Dona Aug 22, 2013 - 7:01 pm

@kassandra I hope the catch this guy and bring him to justice. I pray that your sister the babies and your dog make a speedy recovery. As for the judgmental people the choice your sister has made is her choice and even if she would have chosen otherwise it is still a choice .. Both are hard and effect a women for life … She is lucky to have a loving and supportive sister . Do not let these negative comments get to you, there are still trying times ahead for your family and they will need your support and kindness. Look out for your sister she is going to need your love support and strength. Two children is not an easy task especially for a teen mom … May she continue to follow her dreams so she can provide the life for her kids that she wants. I hope you all can move past this and heal with each others love

KASSANDRA I am so sorry to hear that your sister was attacked and hurt by that person….Someone I’m assuming that she cared for. Thankfully she was not hurt more seriously and that she and her babies are alive and ok…… It must have been very frightening for her as well as your whole family….. I do understand the fear and anger your family must be feeling….. My precious daughter was murdered by her boyfriend 3 years ago and I would give anything to have her back…..I will be praying for your family for Gods peace and protection…… I hope they find Johnny Madden soon so that your family can have peace of mind that justice will be done and your sister will be safe again……Also that your puppy makes a full recovery as well….. ((hugs)) to you and your family…..

Thank u too the positive comments i am reading. means alot at a time like this, everyday going by is stressful and scary for my family to know that he is out there still. god works in weird ways and i have faith he Will ease my families pain and anger. i am sorry to the comment left of the person who lost their daughter. u Will be in my prayers. My dog is making a speedy recovery and my little sister is as well. to the negative comments all i can do is smh at them and tell myself that u guys would not be so judgemental and cruel if this happened to your family member. i love my little sister for who she is and her actions Will make her a strong woman she is growing to be. i would not change any of my loved ones or down talk them as well as i am assuming u would not. @chris i wonder did it make u feel better to say my whole name? Because i somehow missed the point of that? Once again i thank the prayers and positive comments they mean alot. as for everyone else. put yourself in my families shoes. we are not thinking of a teenage pregnancy or of our downfalls. we are focusing on the fact my little sister is alive, her babies are okay and my poor puppy is recovering. all we can do is move foward and stay positve towards the capture of this coward little boy.
