Woman testifies to threats by mother's ex

needs to be locked up for good. before he kills someone

This is a future murderer guaranteed and waiting to happen. He needs to be placed out of his misery. Life is full of choices. Choices have consequences.

What an idiot. Put him to sleep.

Mom should be reprimanded for 1) bringing this strange man home, exposing him to her daughter, the person she is morally obligated to protect until she is 18, 2) allowing him to live with them, further causing pain and anguish to the girl.

Mom, you're an idiot. You made too many mistakes! NO man is worth the hassle that causes your own child grief.

Lock this b@stard up for good.

It's one thing to date while raising children but one should be extremely cautious before introducing that person to your children.

If it's not serious, they don't need to meet.

Some women, however, need a man in their lives so badly that they'll take whatever loser they can get. I truly feel badly for women with such low self esteem and self worth. Unfortunately, the children always end up suffering.

Yes, keep the relationship discreet; the children don't need to know. Some single moms need a man so badly (for financial support more than anything) when they realize it's tough being a single parent they go on the hunt.

You and I both! Be it man or women. It is not worth it!

SOOOOOO not worth it! One of my daughter's friends has a mom who is so desperate for a man that she starts thinking about marriage on the third date! Goodness!

Another mom and I arranged a meeting with her to discuss some potential problems we saw with our daughters and all she wanted to talk about was how to get a man.

I feel sorry for these women but ever more sorry for their children.

We've got to love our children enough to teach them to respect themselves, but give them freedom too, during their growing up years. That way, when they make mistakes, they feel free to talk to their parents about their mistakes. In so doing, the kids can learn from it, and hope they don't make the same mistake again. We also have to teach our daughters that no man is worth risking your safety for. The first time a man threatens your safety, it should be documented via the police and the relationship should be severed immediately. Even if it means moving away. Especially if there are kids involved.
As for the moron who did this, he should be punished severely. Mentally ill or not, we cannot afford to wait until this guy kills somebody before we lock him up. While locked up, this guy should get anger manager class. Because eventually, he will join society again and we can't afford someone with his type of mentality to run around loose.

I agree 100%. And also A lot of mothers out there should be setting an example for their daughters and even sons.
