Also, men who believe women and children are disposable, continue to demonstrate their beliefs, as the murder stats demonstrate.

TX: Houston. Motive is unclear in the double murder of Hunter Archer, 10, and Jhaden Archer, 8, who were stabbed by Joseph Winchester Thornton who later shot himself to death. So far neither mental illness or alcohol seems to be a factor. Except of course, killing kids is just plain crazy.

Tired of a disadvantaged son Father decapitates his second grader, Jori Lirette then puts his head in the street so the child's mother Jesslyn Lirette "will feel stupid when she drives up."
Meet Mourad "Moni" Samaan, age 49. Samaan lost custody of his daughter, Madeline Samaan-Fay, age two.
Both were found dead shortly after.
The day before Samaan kidnapped Madeline he was served notice from the court stating full custody had been awarded against him.
Before the ruling both parents shared joint custody.
But Jeanene stays with us because of the efforts she made to stay alive.
Jeanene had wanted to speak to the judge in her parents custody case, Judge Aviva Bobb, so she could tell Judge Bobb how afraid she was to be with her father. After all, therapists always say to validate a child, one must listen to them.
But Judge Bobb wouldn't allow Jeanene to speak in court. Jeanene's mother suggested Jeanene write Judge Bobb a letter and she did.
Poured her heart out.
Write a better letter little girl
Later, the Court spokesperson described Jeanene's letter as "contrived." He was speaking on the occasion of Jeanene's body being found.
Reporters were asking why Judge Bobb made the now dead, then fearful Jeanene, go with the father she so feared.
As a send-off (Judge Bobb
transferred to Probate Court)
In 2005 Judge Bobb was awarded the "Benjamin Aranda Access to Justice Award."
We wondered why Judge Bobb accepted the award considering she thwarted both attempts made by Jeanene to speak to her.
Scarier still was Judge Bobb had been the Supervising Family Court Judge from 2000 - 20004.
Apparently the Blue Ribbon panel that selected Judge Bobb wasn't aware of her part in getting a little girl killed.
So yes, Jeanene Bonner stays with us.
What become of Judge Bobb? Well, Californians still aren't safe. Judge Bobb went on to contribute to the deaths of older people.
Someone even dedicated a website to Judge Bobb's disdain for older people, *and* the law.
Curiously, (check the link); Judge Bobb's property holdings have increased since she transferred to Probate Court.
Judge Bobb is one of a few judges we'd bounce immediately.
