Rampant Abuse and Murders of Children

[HairOfTheDog]

I read this story in the local paper the other day, Jeesus, WTF is wrong with people?

^ Phoebe's parents: John Jonchuck and Michelle Kerr

This guy, John Jonchuck, believes that he found Jesus recently and that God is talking to him, from what I gather. He also reportedly has a kind of Jeckyl and Hyde personality. He has 5 violent domestic assault arrests on his record; each time the victim declined to press charges (he assaulted Phoebe's mom and his own mom).

Maybe in the process of the justice system determining whether to lock him up in a psychiatric facility or instead in prison, we'll learn about his motive for killing his daughter.

Phoebe's mom, Michelle Kerr, doesn't sound like much of a winner herself, MS-afflicted or not. JMO. But, I'm sorry for her loss. She also has a criminal record. She hadn't seen John and Phoebe since Christmas Eve and said her recent engagement put a strain on her relationship with Jonchuck.

The Department of Child Services is investigating previous visits and how this might have been prevented; they had an open case file on Jonchuck.

Jonchuck's custody lawyer saw him about 12 hours before he killed his daughter. He asked her to translate a Swedish bible, then he told her it didn't matter if she filed custody paperwork and that he was going to church. After he left, the lawyer called authorities who found him at the Catholic church meeting with a priest. A deputy interviewed Jonchuck and Phoebe there and concluded that Jonchuck was no threat to himself or others. That was a couple of hours before he was chased by an officer for speeding the wrong way down the freeway and then stopped and threw his daughter off the bridge.

Jonchuck told a judge that he didn't need a lawyer and that he'd leave it up to God. He'll be back in court on Monday.
