August 2, 201511 yr One of the most disturbing stories I've ever seen... Relatives Allegedly Beat Texas Teen To Abort Pregnancy DALLAS, June 3 (Reuters) - Four members of a Texas family have been arrested on suspicion of beating a 14-year-old relative to induce an abortion two years ago after she had been raped by a member of the family, Dallas police said on Wednesday. Cedric Jones, 27; Sharon Jones, 45; Cecila McDonald, 25; and Lonnell McDonald, 27, were arrested on Tuesday and charged with engaging in organized criminal activity, according to online jail records. The girl was about eight months pregnant when the four beat her for six hours, repeatedly kicking her in the abdomen, police said. The Dallas Morning News said the teenager gave birth to a stillborn baby hours later. The body was thought to have been burned in a charcoal grill and buried at an unknown location, police said. "Several family members took matters into their own hands," Deputy Chief Gil Garza told reporters. Before the beating, police said the family had tried birth control pills and cinnamon tablets to abort the pregnancy, police said. I know this story is about 8 weeks old but I hadn't heard about it or saw anything on it before.
August 2, 201511 yr Why does the phrase, "special place in hell" seem to apply here??? Absolutely disgusting... I am against the death penalty, but if they put these 4 to death, I'd get over it pretty quickly...
August 2, 201511 yr I wonder which one was the daddy, Cedric or Lonnell. It makes me sick to think about what some children go through each day and night.
August 2, 201511 yr Author I wonder which one was the daddy, Cedric or Lonnell. It makes me sick to think about what some children go through each day and night. I think the story says it is another Family member.
August 2, 201511 yr I think the story says it is another Family member. It just says "a" family member so that includes them. I'm pretty sure at this point I wouldn't put it past either of these gentlemen.
August 2, 201511 yr Abortion is legal. No one should have to go through this. "Special place" indeed.
August 2, 201511 yr Author It just says "a" family member so that includes them. I'm pretty sure at this point I wouldn't put it past either of these gentlemen. Robert Cayald, 22, the victim's cousin, was also arrested Tuesday and charged with aggravated sexual assault of a child, police said at a news conference. His bond was set at $25,000.This is the other person, he wasn't involved in the beating.

August 2, 201511 yr :ohbrother: I would think this is the purpose of Planned Parenthood. Planned Parenthood is only mad that they didn't make money off the fetus.
August 2, 201511 yr In one more month she could have given the child up for adoption. Nobody gets hurt, only one person goes to jail, and another couple gets a dream come true.
August 2, 201511 yr In one more month she could have given the child up for adoption. Nobody gets hurt, only one person goes to jail, and another couple gets a dream come true. That's true and a great point. But this is what would end up happening. Adopted parents raise kid till about 5-7 and natural mom goes to court wanting it back and the idiot judge gives kid back to unfit mom. Kids life is ruined and turns out like who knows what.
