And you hope that day will never come when they end up stabbing you to death.
The Los Angeles Daily News reports from Reseda.
A 24-year-old man was in custody today on suspicion of stabbing his 40-year-old mother to death inside her apartment in Reseda.Do the math. She gave birth to him when she was 16, possibly 15. Plus, there's no mention of a father in the article.
Bryan Garcia-Munguia was arrested outside the Denny's restaurant on the corner of Reseda Boulevard and Saticoy Street in Reseda about 11:20 p.m. Monday, said Detective Joel Price of the Los Angeles Police Department's West Valley Station.Yeah, it is not a good idea to show up to join family grieving over someone you killed.
Family members who had just finished eating at the restaurant were gathered in the parking lot when the suspect unexpectedly showed up, prompting them to call police, Price said.
His mother, Saida Munguia, was found fatally stabbed in the chest inside her apartment in the 7600 block of Reseda Boulevard, near Saticoy Street, on Monday afternoon, said LAPD Sgt. Ronnie Crump.Now who is going to show up at his sentencing to insist that he really is a good boy?
"According to family and neighbors, there's been a rather rocky relationship between mother and child, in particular during the last week," Price said.You don't say?
The victim and suspect lived together at the apartment, he added.That had to have been a lot of fun. Even though he was living with his mother, he probably has a girlfriend, or at least booty calls. If so, he'll probably still have women pledging their love to him. After all, he hasn't stabbed them. Or if he did, it must have been their fault. Or they know they can change him.
His mother could have aborted him, but she didn't. And this is the thanks she gets? But it isn't surprising. When kids are born to mothers that young, especially if they are raised without a father, they are more likely to commit violent crime. Everyone would have been better off if she had given him up for adoption to be raised by mature, established, married people.
And shame on the guy who got a 15-year-old pregnant. Where is that guy?
Lots of less than nice assumptions made here in your interpretation of his life - not that they are inaccurate, I don't know, but, still, just assumptions.
ReplyDeleteI love that you end pointing the finger of blame at the guy who knocked up a 15 year old a walked out of the picture 25 years ago. In some significant way, his actions one night resulted up in matricide. If there is justice in the universe, I hope he'll have some responsibility in the end; though, he was probably just another link in a dysfunctional chain.
Stable, loving, mature 2 parent home ... if you can't provide one, give your baby to someone who can. That's the take home message, I think.
Thanks, MBR.
ReplyDeleteShe could have been a great mother. She could have been a horrible mother. We don't know yet and may never know.
Ultimately, if he killed her, he is to blame. He's an adult. I suppose there is a chance he acted in self defense. I guess that would be the "best" scenario, because that would mean the "innocent" person lived and the "guilty" person died.
And as far as the father, or "sperm donor"... since no details are provided, for all we know, he may not have even known the girl was pregnant and gave birth. Still, that would make him, at the very least, a rapist (given her age). That is - unless she forced herself on a weaker (younger?) male.
Yeah, there are a lot of assumptions involved.
For all we know, this woman was raped as a girl and then tried to raise this kid herself, feeling guilty about him not having a father, overcompensating by mothering him too much and allowing him to stay with her instead of growing into a man, causing the argument the neighbors report hearing.
We just don't know.
No matter what, it isn't a pretty picture, and perhaps it is an example of what can go wrong when 15 year-old girls are having intercourse.
YES INDEED. She was a great mother. If you would of know her like I did you would of fall in love with her. She loves her son very much. And she was doing the imagnable to help him fight his demons. She was very inteligent, professional, beautiful person. Please don't pass judgement for you didn't know this person. Have a little bit of respect.
ReplyDeleteWe'll said, I think Saida was my classmate as a young man at Berendo Midle School. She was a beatiful person.
DeleteThanks for the comment. I am very sorry for your loss, and it sounds like this is society's loss, too.
ReplyDeleteThe only judgment I can make for sure is that 15 or 16 years old is too young to be a mother these days, even more so if not married. But when she made that decision she wasn't exactly experienced with life and making such important decisions. It is too bad that adults involved in the situation couldn't have steered the situation differently. She would likely still be with us.
She was a beautiful and fantastic person indeed! I only knew her for a little over a year but she was really close to my husband and his friends. There was just something about her that was so magnetic!! To know that such a wonderful person died in a brutal way by somebody she loved is very tragic and breaks my heart...REGARDLESS of how old she was when she had him or who the father is or isn't. Yes, getting pregnant at 15 isn't the best decision for a young person's life.... but, how was she to predict that she would eventually, 24 years later, die by her son's hand? If she had a crystal ball she probably would not have had him, but she didn't.
ReplyDeleteIt seems like you are sort of blaming her in a way saying she should have aborted him or given him up for adoption. It was in no way her fault so please don't say that anymore. She was such a joy and her memory deserves to be honored for the great person that she was.
I would not have wanted her to abort him, no. I would have thought it best to give him up for adoption to a married couple with an established home.
ReplyDeleteWhen someone murders someone else, I blame the murderer.
I'm sorry for your loss. It really sucks to have a loved one or friend meet a violent death at the hand of another.
TO THE PEOPLE WHO LIKE TO COMMENT WITHOUT KNOWING THE FACTS
ReplyDeleteBryan was a really nice kid, but suffer mental problems. Saida died trying to help him because she refused to put him in a mental hospital. Bryan brought a lot of joy to his mom, unfortunately, as time passed his disease progressed and ended in this horrible tragedy. RIP my dear friend. I hope Bryan can find peace in God in his lucid moments.
Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI'm well aware that news stories rarely present all relevant information, and they often get something wrong - or often can't tell us something for whatever reason.
The fact is, someone was killed violently. Homicide is a public matter. We're going to comment on it.
There are many well-trained and experienced people who can deal with mental illness. If what you wrote is true, it is a testimony to the hazards of thinking "love" will keep a family member who is mentally ill from doing you harm.
he was raise with his father ,they are sepatate,and wath you people dont knom is that he is skizoprenic but her mother was trying the best with him at home becouse she dont want him to go to a mental institution with out try her best as a mother her love for him make her wait to long to do what she has to do God bless you all
