Would you keep your dead mother to make money??

WalletPop.com states that a woman in Florida faces upto 15 years in jail after hiding her mother's dead body in her home. According to a Reuters story, Penelope Sharon Jordan, hid her mother's deceased body on a bed, in a separate bedroom in her home for six years. Timmie Jordan died in 2003, and her daughter Penelope had been collecting her mother's pensions for all these years. She collected $61,415 in U.S. Social Security and $176,461 in military pension.

Apparently neighbors had complained to the police on a nuisance cat. This had led the police to this chilling discovery in late March; she faces at 15 years in jail!!! Penelope had told police that her mother had died of old age, and the autospy did result that. I find this incredibly disturbing! It's not fair that her mother wasn't given a proper buriel. Also, I wondered if she had any other family, because after 6 years, I believe you would notice if somone isn't around. Goodness, that this discovery was made, because now Ms. Jordan could finally be at peace. As for her sick daughter...NEVER MESS WITH THE GOVERNMENT!!!

Murder in the family by FAMILY!

All cultures have different beliefs and values. Some have certain customs that others find offensive and don't agree with. For example, there is a culture where having more than one wife is acceptable, when in many others, only ONE wife is permitted. I come from a Hispanic culture and strict parents. Our customs are pretty much in tact with how many people go about their ways. My culture loves the entertainment world, and an artist is usually praised when they come from our background. I am a performer myself; a singer, my family and friends praise him because they believe it's a joyous trait to have and to express. A sin to us would be committing a crime, breaking the law or acting again society's norms.

Spinner.com reports popular pakistani singer, Ayman Udas, was murdered by her own brothers. She was well known in her countries and always broadcasted throughout the counrty on television. She was loved and had many fans. However, her family disapproved her career and television apperances because they sought it to be sinful. On a night that she home alone, her brothers broke into her home and shot her three times in the chest. She had a husband of only ten days, and two children.

If her family really against committing sin, how is murder not sinful?? This is a complete tragedy that is hard to grasp. Is the family supposed to support you and motivate you? Aren't they only ones who are supposed to trust??? I can understand that cultures have different beliefs, but the customs in this family goes against all morals! You can watch her videos here.

A mother's most valuable gem stolen....her child!

According to AOL. News, Sunday May 3, 2009, a family living in California was robbed. Two men had broken into the Rodriguez's home in San Bernardino, California stealing all their possessions. They had broken down the front door and tied up the entire family, the mother and four children. Apparently, the mother had no idea who could have done this to the family, because they believe these burglurers are complete strangers, and don't have any idea who would do this. (image found here)

The men took all valuable things and money. What's the most hurtful part of this tragedy is that, the most valuable possession was stolen from the mother and the family right in front of their eyes; the son and brother Briant Rodriguez. He is only three years old and is the youngest of the siblings. The family or police don;t understand why Briant was taken, or whether he was a target or not. With hanguns and a Briant in their tenure, their last remark to the family was "DO NOT CALL THE POLICE!" After they had gone, one the children freed himself from the knots and untied the rest of the family. What makes this pretty difficult, is that there were no witnesses that saw they incident, nor the car they were driving. Police don't have any suspects yet, however they have set out an Amber Alert for the three year-old, Briant Rodriguez.
