Trenton MI

myFOXDetroit.com Staff - Her family says 7-year-old Kathleen Edward is in the final stages of a degenerative brain disorder diagnosed as Huntington's Disease - the same disease which killed her mother, Laura Edward, when she was only 24.

Neighbors Jennifer and Scott Petkov, who have been feuding with the family, admitted to posting grim depictions of Laura and Kathleen on Facebook. One photo depicts Laura in the arms of the grim reaper, while the other features Kathleen's face as part of a "skull and crossbones."

The couple hitched a coffin to a pick-up truck in front of the house, which they say is nothing more than a Halloween decoration.

The big question: why would someone do this? Jennifer Petkov says "because it burns Rebecca Rose's ass raw." Police tell Ron Savage they have been called to this street before, dealing with long-standing "family-feud" issues.

A member of Kathleen's family says the bad blood started about two-years ago after the two families had a falling out over a birthday party at the Rose house. At the party, kids were using a "bounce-house" and playing games in the front yard. The source says that Jennifer Petkov texted someone in the Rose family, asking if her kids could come to the event. A response to the text did not come quickly enough and it angered Jennifer. According to the Rose family, she's been harassing them ever since.

A rally for Kathleen Edward has been planned for Saturday, Oct. 23 from 3 p.m. - 8:30 p.m. at Elizabeth Park in Trenton. Search the terms "We Love You Kathleen" on Facebook or CLICK HERE FOR INFORMATION.

The invitation reads: "She has been tormented by sadistic neighbors. Please come and join us in showing Kathleen there are good people that care."

Just what the fuck is wrong with these people??? Watch the video on the link, you can see how much of a hateful bitch she is. She said that her mother and the little girl must be the devil because of what they have and they seem to have deserved it.

I'm sorry to say this, but these assholes deserves to be shot.

Exactly. No one seems to care about the innocent girl's feelings in all of this. Shame on the adults.
 
I think there should be times when the police would be able to request the person they come in contact with should have a psychiatric evaluation.

That woman has a serious mental/emotional issue going on. When those issues become public issues someone should be able to intervene.
 
seriously...jennifer petkov just got mad over a txt msg and the Roses not coming to b-day party?! Lame. She needs mental help.
 
why isn't this woman in jail? she's such a bitter person

That's what I want to know. I've read the story elsewhere and I'm appalled by her behavior. I can't believe this woman.
 
Well that only 3 miles from where I live.

It sound fun story. No one tell truth in this story now:roll:. It sound like they try get attention.

She maybe have mental issues from her face expression. Kind remind me of my devil StepAunt.


I do feel bad for that girl. We should focus on other kids that have same problem like this.
 
What a horrid horrid excuse for a human being. I really hope Karma bites her in the ass.
 
Looks like she ain't done yet...........

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 her former neighbor Jennifer Petkov, 33, and her husband, Scott Petkov, 30, who still lives on her block. 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 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.

Rose is a neighbor of the Petkovs' in the 200 block of Detroit Street, although a judge forced Jennifer Petkov to move in February after she was sentenced to 18 months probation for an assault and battery charge. Jennifer Petkov was initially charged with felonious driving and reckless driving after allegedly trying to run over a neighbor's friend with her car as she was crossing the street in October 2010.

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.

Jennifer Petkov first made national news after she posted photos of Rose’s daughter and granddaughter on Facebook. The doctored images were of Laura being embraced by the grim reaper and Kathleen in a skull and cross bones.

Rose told Patch she believes Jennifer Petkov started her negative behavior over an unanswered text invitation to a birthday party.

“It’s not a damn neighborhood dispute,” Rose said. "I don’t do anything to these people. Sometimes I might get pissed and say things I probably should not have said, but it’s after they say things to me.”

Rose said she plans to hold a candlelight vigil for her daughter Friday night on Detroit Street.

Trenton Police Chief William Lilienthal could not be reached for comment Friday afternoon.

What goes around, comes around. I feel so sorry for the little girl that is having to put up with this harassment in her own neighborhood as well as on Facebook.

If I were the judge I would have ordered the woman to undergo counseling and to shut down her Facebook account and to have no contact with the girl until further notice.

Absolutely unbelievable. I am thinking once the woman is caught out in public at the right time and place, she will have a 'Come to Jesus' meeting with an angry mob.

When that story broke - I, as well as others, pressured Petkov's compnay into firing him. Said we would advertise malicious advertisements against them if they continued to employ him.

So do I. I can't believe that woman either. I heard about this story quite a while ago. I think the woman has a serious personality disorder and that it may be difficult to treat.
