The mother of an 8-year-old accused of murdering his father and another Arizona man said today that her son is a good boy who had no problems with his dad.
“He had a very good relationship with his father. …You know, they did everything together. He loved his dad,” Eryn Bloomfield, who shared custody of the boy with her ex-husband, said in an exclusive interview today with “Good Morning America.”
Bloomfield also said that her son was not having trouble at school.
“He’s very outgoing,” Bloomfield said of her son. “He loves animals. He loves to ride his dirt bike, skateboarding, outdoor things.”
The child faces murder charges in the Nov. 5 shooting deaths of his father, Vincent Romero, 29, and Timothy Romans, 39, who was renting a room in the family’s two-story home in St. Johns, Ariz. The boy was living with his father and stepmother.
Police allege that the boy killed both men with a rifle in their home.
Prosecutors sought to dismiss the first-degree murder charge Friday stemming from the death of Romero. Attorneys could not comment on the motion because of a gag order.
In a videotaped police interrogation, the boy confessed to the killings, although he did so without his mother or an attorney present.
Bloomfield, who is not allowed to comment directly on the case or police investigation, said when she watches the tape she hears “a scared little boy, that’s what I hear. Someone who’s afraid of what’s going on.”
Bloomfield, who lives in Mississippi, also said she didn’t see the interrogation video until it was released publicly and shown on the Internet and television.
The 8-year-old, whom ABC is not naming because of his age, is being held in Arizona’s Apache County Juvenile Detention Center in a private cell. Bloomfield, who has moved to Arizona since the shootings, said she visits her son every day.
Bloomfield is allowed to visit him for a half-hour each day and two days a week they are allowed physical visits.
“We sit in a room and he will come and sit on my lap pretty much the whole time, just hold on to me in that half-hour I get,” Bloomfield said. During the other visits, she speaks to her son through a pane of glass.
The boy will be released from the detention center for 48 hours to spend Thanksgiving with his mother. Bloomfield said he has already picked out a movie to watch, “Kung Fu Panda.”
Bloomfield said she wants those hours to be as normal as possible for her frightened son.
“I tell him every day that I love him,” she said. “And I don’t know how much more I can express that, but I definitely plan on doing that, just to let him know I’m here for him and how much I do love him.”
Truly a sad situation. Of course, your Godless Communist Liberals will try and use this as a reason to try and get Guns outlawed. What this story does not mention is the fact that the boy had just gotten spanked by his Step Mother, because of something he did. So, the whole story is not being told here. Something provoked this boy to anger. I refuse to believe that the boy did it for no reason at all. That is a ridiculous assumption. But one that would be made here, if one didn’t know about the punishment part.
This does not, however, excuse this child from what he did. He obviously made a huge bad decision and one that will affect him and his family, for the rest of his life. Also, it does seem that this boys Constitutional rights were violated. One must have an attorney present when being interrogated by police. So, it is likely that this whole case could be tossed out, because this boys rights were violated.
Again, my heart goes out to the families affected by this tragic event. This should be a wake up call to ALL gun owners. If you have Guns and you have young children; keep those guns locked up and away from the kids, even if they’re trained, having your guns out, where kids can get to them, is dangerous.
Of course, being the eternal skeptic that I am; I have to wonder, how do we know that mommy was not in on the killings? How do we know that Mommy didn’t tell the boy to do it? I wonder has the police check out that avenue? Have they given Mommy a lie detector test? It is to wonder.
Oh, and shoo the kids off, I mean, I know my audience here, they see an goat naked and they’re ready to call the EPA, FBI, CIA and anyone else that will listen.
