McGill man arrested for murder of three month old
This story first appeared on Facebook. I asked then and I ask now…..Where is the Mother? She is not mentioned anywhere.
This is a copy of the press release from the sheriff’s office. Why would the mother need to be mentioned in it? It’s sad that instantly anyone at all can be called into question by the public. And for your information, the mother is extremely hurt by all of this… first of all she is a grieving mother who lost her son and is now left alone to take care of her young daughter. And lastly, she is extremely hurt by all of the gossip and questions of where she is and why isn’t she mentioned. It is my hope that my friend can find some peace very soon, Lord knows she can use it!
My above question was taken out of the context in which it was intended. I apologize to the Mother and offer my heartfelt condolences for her tragic loss. My question was not intended to cast suspicion in any way.
