Sick: The Rebecca Rose – Jennifer Petkov rift still continues

This is a sick and very sad situation; and as much as I am tempted to point the finger directly at Petkov — I cannot.

The Story:

Rebecca Rose, the grandmother of a terminally ill child who gained attention after a neighbor harassed her on Facebook last year, told Trenton police on Thursday that she’s still being targeted.

“I’m done. This is my life … this is my dead daughter, my handicapped daughter who can’t even sit outside without (being called) a retard…this is my life,” Rebecca Rose told Trenton Patch on Friday.

Rose, a grandmother of a terminally ill 7-year-old girl, spoke out Friday about what she told police is constant harassment aimed at her and her granddaughter that has been going on for years.

The harassment, she said, is coming from Facebook posts, attributed to a handle that appears to be associated with her former neighbor Jennifer Petkov, 33. Jennifer Petkov made national news last year after she taunted the dying girl on Facebook.

Rose said the most recent incident was Thursday, also via Facebook, and just one day before the anniversary of the girl’s mother’s death.

Both the girl, Kathleen Edward, and her late mother, Laura Edward, were diagnosed with Huntington’s disease. Laura died from the disease on June 17, 2009.

Rose filed the latest complaint with Trenton police Thursday, after she said she received several messages on her Facebook page from a Facebook user claiming to be the Petkovs at about 9:30 p.m.

Rose was “crying and extremely upset,” according to the report, and told police that the constant harassment had been going on for years.

Facebook documents Rose gave to Trenton police showed comments allegedly attributed to the neighbors stating:

“Detroit St. Party, When that kid dies, cause boys and girls it’s to happen.”

“Dead and gone, only a few more hours till party time, I’m going to visit a grave and take a piss.”

Rose told police, who then confirmed, that she has served Personal Protection Orders against Scott and Jennifer Petkov. The Personal Protection Orders stated that there is to be no communication to Rose, according to police.

Police said they tried to obtain a written witness statement from Rose, but while she was writing she stated, “I can’t take it anymore” and ran out of the Trenton Police Department crying.

Police tagged the six Facebook documents they received from Rose as evidence.

Rose told Trenton Patch she wants the harassment to stop for the sake of her dying grandchild. She said she wants her remaining days to be peaceful.

“Doctors say Kathleen might not live another year,” Rose said. “She has seizures and is in a wheelchair.”

She also wants the harassment to stop because she said she is tired of her life consisting of harassing comments and hateful language toward her and her daughter.

When I originally covered this story originally in October of 2010, I was very sickened and disgusted by what I read and I am very glad that this woman got justice for what she did do. That was then and this, is now.

As much as I would want to point the finger directly to Jennifer Petkov; I cannot. Allow me to explain why. This could very well be a third party that is doing this to attempt and sir up more trouble, either for the Rose family or for Petkov herself. On Facebook, it is extremely easy to create a bogus account and go on doing what this person or persons are doing to Mrs. Rose.  My heart does break for this woman; and for her granddaughter who is dying of a dreadful disease. However, someone; namely the Trenton police, if that is where Jennifer Petkov is actually still living, need to get to this woman and ask her, if she is the person actually doing this and possibly even pull a warrant to search her computer and see if it is actually her.

If it is found that Jennifer Petkov is actually not involved at all with this incident; then the Trenton Police and the FBI need to get together and work with Facebook to find out just who is behind this sort of demented stupidity.

One thing that really struck me as very unfair is this here:

Jennifer Petkov no longer lives at the house on Detroit Street, but Rose said she has seen her several times since the judge ordered her away from the house.

You see this right here, is a classic case of shoddy journalism. Where has Rose seen the woman? In Trenton? Driving by her house? or what? Because the accusation is here, that Petkov is still coming around her house; and I have yet to see proof of that at all. Just Rose’s word, who is say that Rose is not just lying about this whole thing for attention? Why were not the actual messages released to the media?

Anyhow, Again, this is a very sad situation and I hope that the Trenton police can finally get to the bottom of it quickly and if it is proven to be true, the people involved can be stopped, so this family finally get some peace.

Jennifer Petkov, the gift that keeps on giving

This silly woman just cannot stay out of trouble, can she? 🙄

Here’s the video and the interview with the woman that Jennifer Petkov supposedly hit:

…and now the story:

TRENTON, Mich. – For the past few days, people haven’t been focused of Jennifer Petkov and that awful Facebook page. They’ve been focused on Kathleen Edward and showing her all of the support possible. However, it now appears Petkov’s alleged bad behavior has her right back in the spotlight and this time she could end up in jail.

“Last summer, she threatened me. Told me she was going to kill me,” said Tana Boling.

[….]

Petkov’s been charged with assault with a dangerous weapon and reckless driving. Her family put up ten-percent of her $75,000 bond to get her out of jail. This time they weren’t willing to talk to the cameras, but instead of telling us that themselves, they called the cops to be their messengers.

Petkov’s lawyer tells FOX 2 this whole incident was blown way out of proportion and that the Petkovs have surveillance footage to prove it. He believes the footage will be enough to convince the prosecutor to drop the charges.

While he was not willing to show the video to FOX 2, Petkov family friend Jarred Hurd says he’s seen it.

“I think they have over-exaggerated a lot on it,” said Hurd. “The other neighbors make it out to seem like they’re horrible. They are not horrible people.”

Oh, they are not horrible people; Jennifer Petkov is just a dizzy blond —- who cannot drive worth a crap, right? 🙄 Good job lady!  Anyhow, as it says above, they have security footage. So, it looks like Kim Worthy will have her hands full with this woman.  What strikes me is; that the “family” actually fronted the cash to bail her of jail? Family? What family? Anyone know the skinny on that? Why would any sane family member want to bail out some half psycho woman like this?

Also, not that it matters, but…. Petkov. What nationality is that last name? German? Polish? Jewish? Anyone? Just wondering.

I also want to say the following, First off, I will keep the comments section open here; but if it turns into a threatening comments fest, I will shut the comments section down. I am not in the mood to have to weed through 50 comments to nuke the bad ones and approve the good ones. You all know how to act here. If you don’t — read the god damned rules, again, please.

Secondly, I am not out to get rich on anything or anyone… But folks, I am a full time writer and blogger, and any and all help I get, helps me out greatly. I am not some rich dude, with more money than common sense. I am one of many Michigan folk; without a job. I just happen to have some Christian parents, who aren’t heartless people and they let me live here. If you are in the same boat, and cannot afford it, then don’t worry about it. But if you have to to spare, then please, by all means…. Hit the tip jar:

Remember the Saga of the little girl Kathleen Edward that I have blogged about on here? Well, it is not over yet. Looks like Jennifer Petkov is still running her mouth, when the cameras are not around, of course.

Anyhow, here is the video of the story which comes via Fox 2 News right here in Detroit:

The Story, which is basically a rehash, but that new info from the parents in the video is new:

Since this story first made air, the Petkov’s have apologized, the Facebook posts removed, the coffin dismantled and the truck has been repainted. Thousands have watched the story online in places as far away as Japan, Europe and Australia. The backlash against the Petkov’s resulted in an egged-house, people ordering delivery pizza and thousands of messages on Facebook speaking out against the hateful act perpetrated by the couple.

The support for Kathleen on the other hand has been overwhelming for the Kathleen’s father Robert Edward and grandmother Becky Rose. Hans Masing of Tree Town Toys in Ann Arbor has raised more than $9,000 for a shopping spree for Kathleen. Dozens of people have made private donations. Whole Facebook sites have been created in support of the Kathleen.

Tuesday Kathleen’s father and grandmother came to the station and answered some of those questions so many of us want to know. Why the nastiness all started and how the Edwards do not believe Jennifer Petkov’s aplogy was sincere.

Also, this wasn’t first time the Edwards and the Petkov’s have gotten into a dispute. Problems so bad, Kathleen and her grandmother both have a personal protection orders against both of the Petkov’s. When asked how the neighbors could solve the problem, Kathleen’s grandmother says the only way to solve the problem between them would be for one of them to move, but the Edwards say they’re not going anywhere.

By the way, if you go look, the rally that was going to be held in Haas Park, is now going to be held in Elisabeth Park in Trenton, Michigan. Which, by the way, is a huge park down in Trenton, Michigan. There are supposed to be over nine thousand people there —- Nine Thousand?!?! Hell, that’s over half of downriver —-and that’s not not even counting the goats!  😉 😛 😆 I kid I kid. 😛  But that is a big number of people for a rally for a little girl. Which shows the world, that we are not all evil people around these parts.
