he ran away from his own apt?

V so the victim was still there when the police got there and you saw him run away from the apartment? So, he broke in the apartment? Oh, god I'm so glad I have an alarm system. I would think he's been on community control or something before so they prob have his DNA and he might get convicted. Your teenage son flipped out and tried to go to the door to save her? He's going to want you to do it I bet. That man needs to be put away.

I'm glad you got out of there.

First of all, holy shit do you live in a trashy part of town. Secondly, if that were your mother or sister being attacked wouldn't you want someone to help put him behind bars? If you're so concerned about your kids well being WTF wouldn't you a) move and b) take deadbeat dad to court to collect on some fucking support??

What a fucking mess

He broke into the room. Like she had locked the bedroom door and he kicked it down. And yea, he ran from his apartment. The property manager told me that the woman wasn't on the lease, that it was his place, but that woman lived there with him and two little girls from what I could tell.

He was gone when the cops arrived. They knocked on my door and I told them what I heard and what I saw. I knew it was the boyfriend so I asked the officer if he was really raping her and he nodded and just said that the woman was really shaken up.

Her screams were awful, my son told me later that he just wanted to get them to stop. He figured if the guy knew people could hear it, then he would quit hurting the woman.

He's probably been arrested and is on community control right now until the trial. I'd find out more details of course but he could even be in jail still awaiting trial and has not made bond yet, or if he has, he has so many restrictions that he can't move an inch. If you're charged with a violent crime like that usually they'll put you on house arrest until trial. Not sure how it works in your state though.

Sounds terrible. Ugh. I feel bad for the victim. Hope the girls were not there.


That reminds me of a book I read/movie I watched once that stuck with me. Have you ever seen the movie or read the play "For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enuf" or something like that?

God you make it sound so easy.

Obviously I wouldn't want something like this to happen to any woman. That is why I called the cops and why I answered the door when they knocked. What I didn't expect is for him to be back in the apartment within a couple of weeks. So before you go on about how I should stand up and do the righteous thing, understand that his victim let him back into the apartment and continued to live with him.

Second, moving costs money. I don't have a truck or a friend with a truck, so I have to rent one, deposit, costs of setting up utilities. It all adds up. When this happened, I had been at my place 3 weeks, they moved me to another set of buildings on the complex, but comped me nothing.

And the child support thing is a process. There are consequences for him not paying it, but he doesnt care.

V, what kind of work do you do? Being a single parent is so hard. I've been there. I had to work two jobs and was still broke.

OMG get to another part of town. FUCK. If Blue Shirt is half the man you make him out to be, he will help you with the move bs.

I won't recant. I wast thinking more along the lines of telling the prosecutor that I have a couple of kids and am concerned for their safety. I dint know what good it will do thou. I don't think the DA give a shit.

they don't give a shit, and you shouldn't either.. if you do not provide for the security of yourself and your kids...

who will?? the DA??

If he is supposed to have restrictions and stuff, why the heck was he back at the apartment? ?

This is why I was really surprised to get the subpoena. I didn't think any charges were pressed.

Unfortunately, Cindy, the girls were there. And I've never heard of that book. What is it about?
