BE PATIENT (true story)

J'explique said:
I was watching Forensic Files a couple hours ago. A father was accused of killing her 9 year old daughter. The girl's mother was suspiciously disappeared years before the killing.

Meanwhile, the father was in a relationship with his new girlfriend whom his daughter did not like. One day, the father called the cops fearing that his daughter was kidnapped from his house on way to school. The police went out looking for her, but no lead tips available, even tips from the neighbors. That changed the focus of this story from an unknown assailant to her father. The police had her father's vehicles towed away for investigating.

They secretly planted a GPS device on his trucks. It won't take long (in the span of 4 days) when the father drove about 65 miles in a vast forest, and then go back through his hometown to nearby empty area. Know what he did? He felt that his daughter's first grave was not deep enough so he had to move the body 65 miles to another location - her second grave - but the GPS has tracked his every move and precisely counted time... It revealed that the father has spent 44 minutes digging up for his daughter's new grave 65 miles away from home. That's obvious.

The police finally got a lead and recovered the body from the grave. The physical evidences were there and went through extensive testings to confirm who was the killer. It turned out to be his father. The duct tape on her body and hair matched the ones he had at home, it also matched the tire tracks to his own truck at the graveyard, and plastic bags from the same place at his house. That was the final puzzle piece. The father plead not guilty but he was found guilty for first degree murder. He got 56 years behind the bars, that is not enough in my opinion. Back to the start, where was the girl's mother? The mother's brother felt that she was killed, too. Her body is probably somewhere under the foundation. The father worked on the foundation when he killed the girl's mother, I suppose.

Why?

He was very obsessed with his then girlfriend - now ex-girlfriend, way too obsessed. He acted like his ex was much more important than his own daughter's life. Remember the girl and the ex did not get along, so it might be the factor. He was crazy over his ex, so he went on killing a dear young life. I don't understand him, not at all. When his ex found out that he was in jail, he proposed to her, she feared for her life. She changed the locks and do everything to be safe from him.

Really sad story. Real sad.

That's how urban legends usually are... stories to either inspire others, scare others, or to make others rethink the way they do things.

For instance, the story of a woman who was drugged by someone offering cheap perfume... it didn't happen, but it does point out that it's important not to talk to strangers that approach you like that. If it was a stranger with a legitimate booth and a license to promote and/or sell in a mall where there are hundreds of people around you, then it's likely to be safe. However, if a stranger in the middle of a parking lot where no one can see you... obviously is just like a stranger trying to offer candy to kiddies.

So, this story didn't happen... but it does teach people the philosophy of being patient.

I already checked it out and get it that the story is fiction. I just thought it was true because a friend sent that to me. But I am not embarrass over it. But as long as the story have a good lesson in it. Then it worth reading about it. We all make mistakes.

Don't feel bad. At least, you learned your lesson.

That's one common denominator of urban legends... stories are passed around by friends or friend of a friend. Many stories begin with "This is a true story that happened to my friend's cousin's daughter's friend." This is a typical "friend of a friend" beginning of many urban legend stories and passing these stories along can be bothersome for many others. While it may sound like a true story, it's usually best to look it up online from a legitimate source before passing it along. If it can't be proven as true, but still sounds good as an inspirational story... then pass it along and include a note that it's only intended to inspire others, not to gossip that it's "a true story".

You're probably better off just not passing it along since people can probably see it as a true story. When they find out it's not true, it makes you look bad for being the one to pass along this false story.

I had that problem with a friend of mine who kept sending me these emails. A couple times, I told her to stop... but she wouldn't listen because she felt that these emails should be shared with everyone else. Sadly, some of her friends were gullible enough to keep believing those stories and they passed it along. One of them was about Madalyn Murray O'Hair, a well-known atheist. She was attempting to cancel 7th Heaven because it was a religious show and religion should not be promoted on television. Of course, Madalyn's name was spelled wrong and it didn't make sense since Madalyn died in 1995 and 7th Heaven started in 1996. My friend sent this email to over 30 people including everyone's name (which should have been kept private). So, I simply replied to everyone with a link to a website pointing out that the story was fake. She got mad at me and stopped sending me those emails. I later found out that others were starting to get upset because they were duped into believing these false stories. They told her to stop as well. She finally learned her lesson. :)

Thanks for you for your caring and understanding. I learn a valuable lesson in my errors. But I do agree about the 7th heaven story that started in 1996. I love that show. It such a shame it wen off the air for their final seasons last year. I sure would love to see them come back one day. :)

BE PATIENT!

This is a true story which happened in the States. A man came out of his home to admire his new truck.

To his puzzlement, his three-year-old son was happily hammering dents into the shiny paint.

The man ran to his son, knocked him away, hammered the little boy's hands into pulp as punishment.

When the father calmed down, he rushed his son to the hospital. Although the doctor tried desperately to save the crushed bones, he finally had to amputate the fingers from both the boy's hands.

When the boy woke up from the surgery & saw his bandaged stubs, he innocently said, " Daddy, I'm sorry about your truck." Then he asked, "but when are my fingers going to grow back?"

The father went home & committed suicide.

Think about the story the next time u see someone spill milk at a dinner table or hear a baby crying. Think first before u lose your patience with someone u love. Trucks can be repaired. Broken bones & hurt feelings often can't.

Too often we fail to recognise the difference between the person and the performance.

People make mistakes. We are allowed to make mistakes. But the actions we take while in a rage will haunt us forever.

Pause and ponder. Think before you act. Be patient. Understand & love.

Those heartbreaking story :tears:

No matter either it´s true or untrue story but it´s good education for everyone to judge whether it´s wake up call or not... its about parents´ patience toward their children. Good Thread, GarnetTigerMom.

To me, it´s not wake up call but mainly worst and selfish what the father did is end his life to aviod from tell his son the truth and also more worst is end his life without know how much his son need and love him. It´s an extreme and coward what he did to aviod from tell his child the truth. It make me :barf:

Sorry when I see different as you all here. I find very disgusit what that father did... If you disagree with me then is welcome...

We made a lot of mistakes but it doesn´t mean that we end our life.
 
:cool:

Nah, I don't disagree with you at all, I always like to hear other people's feelings and opinions to be share with me and learn lot more. I agree with you that it was a terrible thing and cowardly thing that the father did to his own son, if he told the truth to his son from the start then just maybe he would have not ended his life that way and leave behind a child. A child needs his and her parents around. I know some kids that grew up with out either one parents and it was hard and emoitonally sad for them. :cool:
 
Nah, I don't disagree with you Liebling, actually I agree with what you stated above, you're right, parents shouldn't be doing this to any of their children no matter what they did....

Exactly and patience has nothing to do with it. If you are beating your child then you have issues that are more deep rooted than patience.

To me, it really doesn't matter whether it's true or not, the point is, it may or may not happen and this is a wake-up call in case some of us may lose our temper...


Thank you for posting this story up anyways :)...
