Teen charged with killing his mother and sisters

What went wrong in this young man’s life that he would possibly commit such a heinous act? Anthony Tyrone Terrell Jr., a 17-year-old from Lawenceville, Georgia, is being charged with the fatal shooting of his mother — who was a sheriff’s deputy along with his two little sisters, ages 11 and 4. Our first thought was if the teen had used his mother’s gun, but the story reports that is currently undetermined.

Anthony Tyrone Terrell Jr. was charged with murder in the shooting deaths at the family home near Lawrenceville, where the bodies were found late Thursday, said police spokeswoman Illana Spellman. She identified the victims as Gwinnett County Sheriff’s Deputy Joy Deleston, 39, and her two daughters, Micaiah, 11, and Jelani, 4.

The motive for the killings was still under investigation, Spellman said.

Terrell was taken to jail in neighboring DeKalb County to avoid any potential conflict because Deleston worked for Gwinnett County, Spellman said. He is being held without bail.

    This is the saddest thing I’ve heard in a long time. With all the crime that goes on in the city that I live in (Memphis) This has bothered me the most in since New Year’s Day when a mother left her two children at home to party on New Years Day and they were killed when the apartment was set on fire. How can this child kill his own mother and his two baby sisters? It’s a mystery to me and I know and millions of people that heard heard about this tragedy. This makes me so sad that things like this happen. I pray for that family who lost not one but three family members that have to be buried. I also pray for that child who commited this crime. He will have to live with this for the rest of his life if he can handle what he has done. That poor woman killed in the prime of her life and those beautiful little girl that didn’ get a chance to experience life for very long at all. God rest their souls.

    i feel sorry for anthony jr and the little girls but not for joy antuan deleston. i met joy when my 19 year old son, also by anthony sr, was three. joy was a very fake and selfish evil ****. she tried to always keep our sons from knowing one another. she was an avid practitioner of withcraft and voodoo and was from kingston jamaica and eluded to that influencing her in doing so to, as she believed, get what she wanted. I encouraged our sons to have a bond. you all did not see the evil vicious downright abusive joy that i am certain a lot of people will say they have. eventually anth jr will break and tell the real scoop on his deranged mother who was not a mother. she belittled him practiced voodoo around him put him down and then there is the aspect of the terrell side always trying to dictate that false side of who they thought him to be. she threw those kids off on him as well. she purposely went aster men with money to become impregnated by and as soon as she could collect up on thousands of child support from to support the comfortable lifestyle she wanted. she was a real evil hearted b**** and she claimed my son would grow up to become a thug. well he is a kind real man who works 6 days a week and now hers is a murderer. i feel sorry for anthony jr because he took violence, not discipline, but violence from this **** and he felt unwanted and unloved and he was right. what goes around comes around. the terrell family in ashburn and valdosta ga are always putting other black people down and stressing their so called legacy now they have one. excluding these poor children and even anth jr i say good riddins to a real voodoo evel ***** one less **** in this world

    M. Johnson,

    You have issues. Your mistake, the family is not from Kingston. People close to them know that. I don’t now you or your family and really don’t care to know.

    I’m sure Joy had a reason for disliking you and Anthony Sr., well, I don’t care for him either. He really loves his son, hasn’t visited him yet. Joy had a reason to try an instill discipline in her son and daughters. Your don’t know the real truth about Joy, Anthony and her relationships. This is not about relationships, this is about kids going bad. Until this World figures out how to correct that, we will continue to have situations like this and people like you. Your comments are yours, I know Joy well, the good and the bad and as for voodoo, we don’t play that. May God heal you.

    This is so sad a very bad situation. A son who took his two sister’s life along with his mother and all you (Melissa Johnson) can do is be cruel n rude that shows no respect for the family or Juvenile. You must see this is not about you or your son this is about a family that has been destroyed for reasons unknown not for you to get revenge. Joy is dead what does your comments matter, personally you should be ashamed of yourself bringing all of that garbage out in the public over her death: that is what is wrong with people in this world today NO RESPECT.

    Well, I will be the better one here and give my condolences to Joy’s family along with Juvenile during their loss of three wonderful people no matter what the faults were they were all wonderful. My prayers are to the families along with the son whom had for some reason found himself to do wrong.

    May God Bless you all

    Ms. Johnson,and I do use the term Ms. loosely, please get a life and please end you 20 years of harassing my family. If you believe that the Terrell family is so bad; why do you continue to call? Why not just leave us alone? You are a disgrace. You have no idea what it is like to be a real woman. Maybe one day you will understand that you are the one who has and always will continue to drive a wedge between your son and his alleged father. Also, before you call someone a breeder, think about the number of children you have and the number of babydaddys you have. If these numbers are equal or anywhere in the ballpark of being equal, then you should consider yourself a breeder as well. As far a Joy practicing Voodoo, you and I both know that this is false. And for the Jamaica bit, there you go spreading lies. We all know that this untrue. Read up on your history and the people of South Carolina, then you may understand Joy’s accent as well as those belonging to her family members. Joy was not perfect, none us are, especially not you, but have some class show some respect. She was good mother and a good person. And the next time, you tell lies on my family expect legal repercussion. Also, look up the word slander and remember it is legal. Get a life. There is a new generation of Terrells.

    Ms. Johnson, It appears to me that you are envious of Joy for the person that she was. I am going to pray for you because you are a very selfish person. I guess you cannot stand up to her standards so you feel the need to tear her down even in her death. Your need to check yourself because you are the wicked one. Also be careful of how YOU treat people and what YOU say because the same trap that you try to set for someone else may be the same trap hole that you set for yourself. As for Joy being from Jamaica, educate yourself. Please make sure that the next time you make a public comment that you get your thought together. You sound like a scatter brain. God Bless you.

    My name is Elenor Tisley and my daughter brought this to my attention. In response to Melissa, my firm hired her seven years ago as a paralegal and currently she is an executive paralegal.I witnessed profane and disturbing phone calls from Ms. Deleston to Melissa, who dismissed this behavior as the norm for Ms. Deleston. Consequently,I contacted the midtown authorities to cease the calls. I will bring this to Melissa’s attention. I find the behavior of Andre’s family appalling and inexcusable. I find Melissa evidently in love with her husband and three other children and too submerged to be concerned with the relatives who abandoned a young man I respect and admire, as well. All of these children are innocent and let all of us keep this in mind. Apparently, there is something very wrong in this equation. I am only stating what I witnessed and will corroborate what I witnessed in any court. Moreover, Andre is a young gentleman we all adore. Thank you.

    Hi, this is Melissa and I do have a reply to Terrell cousin- perhaps Eugene and Josephine’s son. I do not call the Terrell’s. I tried many occasions to have a relationship between Andre and Anthony, Sr. and his wife tried as well. There are many people who feel as I do and as far as I am concerned, the only decent Terrells are Eugene and Josephine and Anthony’s wife. Joy tried to deliberately destroy my life and that of Andre’s and there is no empathy from here.What happened to her, she purposed it for us and it back fired. It was Joy who was intimidated by me and Joy was a very extremely insecure woman who attacked us out of shear envy, as she did other women. Also, you know nothing of my other children because I have only disclosed that since this happened. I have a beautiful relationship with a man who shares the DNA of my other three. I feel that Andre had all rights to know Anthony and I hate to admit, Anthony is not a man. He is a coward who told me out of his own mouth that he could not handle his mommy’s

    disapproval and it was only based upon race because Anthony and I talked about it and he could not handle. I did what I could for my son and he is a wonderful man now and certainly, by all accounts, Anthony missed out on. When he did call, he whimpered that his wife asked him to and he stood Andre up. All he talked about was a Lexxus and the Terrel dynasty. All Andre wanted was to know him and Anthony Jr. Now we discovered that Ms. Graham has two there sons fathered by Anthony and I implore any biological sibling of Andre’s to have a loving relationship with Andre. Whether or not you all like it, they all have the same dna and they have that right. I have been in love with my soul mate, my husband since we met and I do not entertain the thought of any romantic feelings for Anthony. Anthony is married and so am I. I have a lot of gratitude towards the woman who married him because she thought of my son when you all did not. I am taking him to visit Eugene and Josephine Flower because they are the nicest people and always have been receptive of Andre. I owe no apology to a woman who tried to hurt my child and me relentlessly and mercilessly. Your opinion I respect because you feel that way and can; likewise. Pardon, but Anthony and his mother bragged that Andre would end up in prison and they denied Andre? Certainly is ironic how things have turned out. What goes around comes around and the third law of physics: what goes up must come down. defend yours, dear, and respect that I defend mine. My life is jovial and really just begun since this occurred. The Pharaoh’s son was taken and he was brought to his knees. My son is a child of God and what goes around comes around. Let me reiterate: now Anthony’s name is infamous and Andre did grow up to be a thug, as his funky Geraldine and bisexual Anthony foretold, yet not as they expected. He said, “I am a thug, mom, a true hero under God”

    Had Andre been subjected to the “TERRELLS” he would not be the wonderful man be has become and in retrospect, it was best, for Andre’s sake. When a person drinks and drives and kills himself, often people say, “He shouldn’t have been drinking”. Hence, Joy shouldn’t have tried to destroy our lives. I didn’t, just as Mary said, hate Joy. She said, “Melissa, Joy hated you”. No, know your facts. I never cared if Anthony jr was in Andre’s life and I encouraged it. Joy was jealous of Andre and I. The girls, they didn’t ask for that, but neither did the Pharaoh’s son. That was their parent’s doing evil that came back on them. This was a culmination of geraldine, amos, marvin, anthony sr, and joy. Note: little letters for very little people who now get to feel the grief they put out. the universe has risen up to meet my son and he is awesome! I never lifted a finger of revenge and we suffered a lot. This is justice. This is what that evil little c*** purposed for us and it came back on her and funky geraldine and gay anthony who is a coward. Watch your thoughts, they become your words; watch your words, they become your actions; watch your actions, they become your habits, they become your character; watch your character, it becomes your destiny” You don’t work voodoo on my child and I and brag to lots of people that you did so, you don’t deny your child in his face at four years old and maliciously tell him many times that he’s not your little boy and that your son is Anthony Terrell, jr, you don’t wish for our demise and tell people that Andre will grow up to be a thug or in prison and if you do so, remember that my son Jesus
    has a hand on and you reap what you sew! Mark Dye, Mr. and Mrs. John Dye of Ashburn, he met Andre and could not believe what a nice man Andre grew up to become. I will say the truth as it is and if you have a contempt with that, oh well!! This is America: SUE ME!!! I will avenge then and file a motion/petition in civil court for back pay in child support, the support I could have ascertained from doing so with the $1. sup. to get Anth’s bank records and show that puny 178. he complained about all those years: he falsified to child support that his only income was at VCI! Honey, please: know YOUR facts, dear. I wasn’t like Joy: I didn’t take child support out IMMEDIATELY and have the father ARRESTED and call the media! I could have taken revenge and Andre said ” mom, God takes care of us. I don’t want that man’s money! All I wanted was to know him and you tried mom. I know who I am” Many women would have taken court action and bled Anthony for any monetary recourse they could!! I did Anth a favor, dear, because I knew that one day, they would reap it all back and frankly, I am an elated woman today!!! Free at last, free at last; god almighty, free at last. Well, the c*** is frying with sparky momentarily and I toasted a glass of wine! With the b**** went all grief they inflicted on us and all hexes with her!!! Hind sight truly is 20/20. anthony did not deserve to know Andre and the one he was biased against and down right CRUEL towards because he suffers from a self inferiority complex, that son grew up the complete opposite of anything any of these bastards anticipated would. Worse, they bragged to everyone they knew that he would never amount to anything. They one he was partial to, triple homicide. Anth jr will tell all. What is in the dark will come to light. I am elated!!!!!!!!! I have a beautiful soul mate who loves Andre and I, a beautiful home, beautiful children, a great career, and Joy has been eradicated from my life forever and can never hurt us again. I defied the odds and for the years of grief we had to endure, it is fading finally. Now the TERRELLS, the terrell “real men” who hit their women and deny their children, the ones who forgot they were black and once they got a little something as Eugene said, “looked down on others”, primarily fellow black people! Black people in Ashburn can not say it, are too close to home to admit it, so I can and I am not intimidated to do so! All you offended “TERRELLS”: take your black arms and SMELL YOURSELVES!! If I am an idiot, as cousin implicated me as, YOU ALL PUT THE ‘i” IN THE WORD!!! IT IS HARD ENOUGH FOR AFRICAN AMERICAN PEOPLE LIVING IN ASHBURN TO CONTEND WITH RACISM I WITNESSED AS A CHILD THEN TO HAVE TO TAKE YOUR S*** THAT, MUST EVEN A WHITE PERSON REMIND YOU, SMELLS LIKE EVERYONE ELSE’S!!!!!! The first words from Anth to me: “Do you know who I am?” Now I can honestly say that what you are not is a decent man and what you are is feminine little b**** who, also, is a COWARD! Now everyone in America knows that attached to your name is murderer! I think, yes, by all means, JUSTICE HAS BEEN SERVED…. PHARAOH! Since you wouldn’t spit on Andre and since he is too genteel, heedful of not doing to you what you did to him, since he can’t kiss his own ass, I SAY FOR, yes, “MY LITTLE BOY” : KISS HIS ASS!! You should be grand at it because you Terrells’ have always been good at kissing racist people’s and selling out your own! GOOD BYE AND GOOD RIDDINS!!!!!!

    Good morning to everyone. Last evening, ny son, Andre, and I talked for a rather long time. We talked and I cried to him and he was there for me. I did not work today . He was so exhausted because he worked til ten last night and we had a long talk and he left a little late. His boss, the owner, is this way, “It’s ok mam.” He worked for this man when he obtained his work permit at 14 and six months later, he worked for two years at Taco Bell, and then this man offered him three dollars more and he has been so good to Andre. He told me that he regrets never having children, that Andre reminds him of himself when he was young, but his mother died. All along, people kind like this man were put in our lives. I believe that. The initial few weeks at Taco Bell, Andre wanted to quit. He came home on break and I said “I didn’t raise you to quit like this. You are not quitting this job.” He recently, well, not last night but a few weeks ago, told me he knows now why I was like that. I wanted him to face his problems and not to retreat. Last night was a time in which, like wise, I had to do also. I want to take this time to apologize for the angry words. Andre is the only person who lived through what we lived through and the one person I trust. I know that when he exemplifies love to even those who have been mean to him, it is because I taught him to be. If I apologize, it is going to be, perhaps, to “Terrell cousin”, a moment of jovial for him. But I do apologize because Andre wants me to be the way I raised him. Oh my gosh, this is such a painful time for me. When I initially found out what happened to Joy, I felt years of the mean manner in which we but in particular, Andre, was treated go back around. Nevertheless, if it did, Andre said, I raised him to not respond to it. The first couple of nights, I grieved because I could not really sleep and it is a sad thing either way. I almost lost Andre a year and half ago in a car accident and the things that occurred with Joy, well she did really try to have me lose Andre. Anthony knows what happened, as well as Geraldine. Whether or not they are all sorry, just like Andre said last night, doesn’t matter because if they aren’t it isn’t going to change anything and he said, “mom, I don’t want to be the way they were to us. I know it hurts, but you have to let this go, mom. Who cares what these people think of us? I know who I am and how do you think I feel? I was beaten with a curtain rod by ms branch and i didn’t think i’d ever see you again but i even have to forgive her. you have to forgive them and you have to let it all go.” Andre is who he is because I raised him to be that way and every time something bad happened that really was just really brutal, I would tell him to pray and to forgive. I am not going to talk about anything further about what happened to us but they all know. There is no point in going through it and reliving it. I know that I would never want anyone to go through any of what we did, but also like Andre exclaimed, he reminded me that I had reminded him that everything we went through- we would not be who we are had we not. I apologize to the Terrell family. It is or what makes me so angry is that all of it was a waste. I wish that the woman Anthony did marry, Stephanie, I believe is her name, I wish to her that it would have worked out. She will never know how profoundly grateful I am that she honestly was kind to Andre. She thought of my son and was the only person who ever did. She, without reservation and without care of what any of them said, tried to intervene to begin a relationship between them. Andre wanted to know Anthony and he remembered little Anthony and he honestly wanted to be in his life. The grief and the trauma Andre and I went through together, it was cruel but the only reason I did not break is Andre and Jesus. Even if I feel that way about people reaping, I would have told Andre’ leave it alone” and he knows that because he told me. When Andre and I came here, we had $150 a box of pictures and a few items and a few clothes. We came on a bus. I always made a promise to Jesus that if I ever met a girl who was sent in my life to repay god for the people god had miraculously sometimes put in my life to help us, that that would be my time to be there for her. Often times, we lived , you know, in a room before we got our first apartment. Some people would take your money and then want more and just bad people, you know. When I met a young girl, she has lived with us almost three years, I knew she was sent in my life to repay this debt to god. That is why all I can accept from her is her to be safe and take care of school and her job. Andre walks her to and from work in between his shifts. She is like my daughter and she is part of who we are now. I can’t imagine life without her. We were blessed to have her come into our lives. If there is any punishment or pay back, it is that you all really wasted knowing who Andre is. Anthony jr and all of his brothers could have had a relationship. I wanted that. Andre told me last night that he never blamed me. He said his father tried to imply it was my fault and he said that he tried to respect him because he tried to do what I taught him. Andre is who he is because I raised him to be. It angers me the way my son was treated and I would never wish that on no one. When I have seen him take on a brotherly role to a kid who he says reminds him of himself, to take his money and buy that child a gift, it makes me acutely appreciative of who Andre has become. Just this morning, I was getting my daughter’s bottle and noticed that we have plenty of food, but I will never complain that Andre has less than half a peanut butter and jelly sandwich in the fridge. The reason he does this is because Andre wastes no food. Andre wastes nothing and holds onto everything. He took Japanese from the fourth grade until the eighth grade in a program in which he earned one of his high school foreign languages. They had a trip planned for Japan and really reasonably priced but 9/11 happened and that next summer it was canceled. He and Sarry have saved for a trip this forthcoming summer to Japan. Other than that, when he gets paid, he saves. He doesn’t party. He is very frugal. He works six days of the week and he is pretty serious. When he was younger and if he did something I felt he was getting beside himself coming on, I took him once to a shelter to remind him that we should be grateful. He cleaned and so forth, we did, and it was a reminder. Although I am grateful that Anth was able to give little anth a great deal, Andre only wanted to know you and the time in which my son sat down and sobbed, couldn’t even speak, but put his face in his hands and sobbed was when you stood him up. After everything Andre went through, I really would have rather you just have left him alone. For you to somehow blame me was double painful and baffling! I had my soul mate in my life. I was not entertaining romantic thoughts of you. It was like a slap in Andre’s face and that is the breaking point that I grew very bitter. I held him and sat there and all I could do was cry for him and rub his back. I told him finally ” Andre just forgive him and let it go. You know who you are and Jesus holds you and he loves you. Just let it go baby” It is ironic that most of last night Andre held me. He is 6 feet and 165 and he told me what I had told him and I cried til I could not cry anymore. I want to apologize because even if Joy was really mean to us and they all know why I say that, I grieve in my heart for her and I wouldn’t in my heart wish it on anyone, not even my worst enemy and it is not for me to point out if anything came around. If it did Jesus is who I owe to stay out of it and Jesus watched over us and he made Andre really the man he is. I feel 99 and people think I am Andre’s sister. Mark dye says I haven’t changed and I was able to see Herman Mackey briefly and he said “you look the same with your chubby cheeks” but I feel so “old”. I see the maturity in Andre that of a 45 year old man. Andre held me and he told me that it is time to let it go. He said he let it go a long time ago. I didn’t raise him by myself. God was there and I owe a debt to Jesus for eternity. Whether or not any of you feel sorry or not, I apologize. I want The wife of Anthony to know that there are no words to tell her how much I SOOOO appreciate that no matter what anyone thought or may have said, she thought of my son and that will always be engraved in my heart- forever. Every person in this situation knows the truth. For her to think of Andre and she could have just not, it was something that I as Andre’s mother and being that no one had ever thought of HIM- it means so very much in my life for always.

    I just want to reiterate to her that her kindness will never as long as I may live be forgotten. She thought of my son and was nice to him on the phone and she honestly was the first and last person to have acknowledged Andre. That means so much when you’ve had so little. There is a lady, Linda, who she works at the Target here in Sandy Springs and a few weeks ago, she stopped me and she asked,”do you know what you have in that child?” I am so humbled when someone pays us a compliment but I almost cried because I would not dare say this to her, but it is every moment of every day that I thank god for him. I know so deeply what i was given in andre and he is my hero. Everyone tells me things like this. One of the older gentlemen who works with him said to me also a few weeks ago, “Your son, he is such a nice boy” i said “oh thank you” but then I almost cried because it was everything bad that also made everything good. If Andre had not suffered, perhaps he would not be so kind to others. He genuinely cares for everyone and that is who I recognize Stephanie as even as I will never meet her. Andre thinks of other people before he thinks of himself and he is truly my hero. I regret that none of you knew this. And I tell you this. He would have adored little Anth. They played at that daycare all day I was told together and no one else. Andre would have been there for his brother no matter what.

    I did not get to finish so I want to just say that I am sorry. I was seventeen when he was born and you, Anth, you asked “what the hell can you give him? Well, I told you, love. Andre said that is all he needed and really that is all he wanted from you. I am never looking back after today and I am not going to watch the news for a long time or read about any of this and I just want to say that I am sorry. I am really in my heart sorry for all of this pure waste; all of it. I care for little Anth in my heart and how could I not? He was part of you and Andre and he was the cutest little boy. I can’t even really absorb all of this right now. I just want to let it all go. So I have said what is in my heart and I am very sorry that you all never knew Andre. He really is a wonderful man today.

    I was taught that once words leave your mouth they can never be taken back. In reviewing these posts they have taken place over two weeks. I am guessing that you have gotten out all of your anger and frustration and now that the entire world can read your story….Keep in mind that there are three sides to a story your side, the people that you are talking about and THE TRUTH! Joy’s Chapter is closed because of her unfortunate demise…so her story can never be told. I amazes me that all these people did such horrible things to you and you make it seems like you were so innocent and striving for perfection in your life-but yet you very FIRST posting torn down a mother and her children like a true disciple of lucifer.
    I think you need to seek consul because you are dealing with some major issues. You need to keep in mind that you still have children that someone/something can take away from you at a moments notice. How would you feel if all your children were taken from you in a split second…..and you were left all alone? Please take notice that I did not say you were taken….I said YOU WERE LEFT BEHIND TO DEAL WITH THAT. Dying is the easy part living is the hard part.

    Praying that you get your heart and soul right!

    I am very close to Melissa and everyone who knows her and the Terrells know that they are evil and ruthless people who did horrible acts to Andre, who I have known since he was two years old. Melissa can hold her head high because Joy tried to get her son taken from her, evicted from her home, and I stood and watched as Anthony and his family treated Andre in the most cruel way you can think of! Melissa is forgiving but I stand by our convictions that they all are reaping what they have sewn! The Bible does say forgive but it also says that those who do evil acts reap it back! These animals are being treated back what they gave and Andre and Melissa can hold their heads high! I think of how cruel these animals were to an innocent little boy and a beautiful mother who I consider my sister! My family and I are not white, we are not, then, prejudiced.These These animals are an insult to MY race! Melissa and her husband are holding a party tonight and she told me her comment. Before I leave , I want to tell the world that this woman has raised a very fine young man and the day will come when his biological father will need him and I would not spit on him if I were Andre! Melissa graduated school on her own and is not in need of no one. Joy was jealous of Melissa and attacked MY car and tried to have me arrested! But I aint the one! I am black and I would kick that ugly little b****’s a**! Melissa and Andre have the final say because you all got exactly what you put out to Andre and her back! I witnessed the barbaric way you hipocrits acted and you deserve everything that you feel! I say GOOD!! Melissa’s husband is gorgeous and to be more honest, what the f*** she saw in a b**** that looks like Anthony and I had to tell her’girl, that man is a fag!” whatever! Her husband is 6′3″ and gorgeous! He loves Andre and her, real love, and I can’t even imagine looking to long at the fag who resembles s***! If it looks like s*** it is s***! Take your little country a**es back to the boonies! Andre doesn’t need you, Melissa doesn’t, and you may just need Andre! God didn’t make this happen! YOU ALL made this happen! So enjoy but now the little runt, hoe with THREE babies by THREE different jokers who didn’t want her ugly a** is gone bye bye!!! Nobody had anything to say when I saw your country asses treating them the way you did but when some s*** comes back three times worse in your faces, you can’t handle it! I am telling her TONIGHT “Girl, enjoy your beautiful home, your beautiful family, and let them pigs roll in the s*** that they created!” Pray for yourselves! By the way, I work in mental health in Chadwick county now and Melissa is strong, georgeous, and a wonderful woman! You all need some therapy and church treating alittle boy your own blood that way! Had enough? I don’t wanna know what might next happen in “the oreo mental FAMILY”!

    Thanks Carla and I want to to speak for Melissa. I do not intend to tit for tat. Anthony, you are a punk and one man’s trash is another man’s treasure. Thank you because I have always told Andre that I am a real man and anytime this exceptional kid wants to take on my last name no hesitation from me. I would not declare Melissa as anything mental. I would say as Andre probably will agree she is emotional. Her family and yours ought to be ashamed of yourselves and since she wouldn’t curse her mother I took the phone four years ago and someone needed to say it. I have witnessed to pain she has gone through and it was a long time it took me too understand why she pushed me the hell away. You are a punk and your family are despicable to even call yourselves so called christians. You pushed a 17 year old girl with your six month old baby off your mother’s steps and into the streets and told her to walk at night. You have no self respect. Melissa and Andre are good hearted and should have never been treated that way. I regret she said all she did openly but I support her and Andre. Since she did, I speak up for her anyday. I am 44 years old and I would never have treated a child the way you all did and then you call yourself a man. Let someone try to take one of your nieces because the father wanted to duck child support and let that child be abused in fostercare and let the father stand up in his face and tell him he isn’t the father and he has another son. Let’s see how well you would fair in that case. No, man. You aint no damn man. Melissa aint the one who’s son killed her and that speaks for who the psycho is. Andre is a man and I consider him my son.

    anthony sounds like a little bitch. he was obviously put on this earth to be a demon and kill. so his mom was in to voodoo. it doesnt matter if she was in to crafting. Nothing gives anyone the right to take anothers life. PATHETIC describes this deliquent and rest the souls of the young and innocent. MAN F*** ANTHONY, even if hes selibate.

    My name is Andre. I know my mom has had her say and I am not speaking out about this other than here where I see she commented. My mother is emotional but the reason why is because of what happened to her and to me. I have seen a difference in this past week in her. She is back to being the happy mom I know. For a while, she went into herself and I was worried. I think she was rethinking the past. Joy was very mean to both of us for just being us. I feel really sorry for the kids and for my brother but I don’t have really any for Joy. She attacked my mom and my mom really didn’t do a thing to her. I fault Anthony Terrell Sr for not being a man and he means nothing to me. His family means nothing to me. My mother is beautiful inside and out and I am grateful to see her back. Aaron is like a dad to me. Even if he weren’t, I don’t need anyone but Jesus and my mom. My mom raised me to be the young man I am and I carry myself with respect because I respect myself. My mom raised me to stand up and be a man. She raised me to love people regardless of their status and where they are from. She raised me to pray and each day I walk out that door, I pray. I will never treat my child the way these people treated me. No matter what has happened, Anthony Jr. is still my blood and he wrote me. I am writing him back. He did say he wants to see me and I will go see him. I will never discuss what he and I discuss with no one and I do not want to discuss what has happened with him. There’s not much I can do for him and it sucks that we can’t hang out, but at least I can get to know him. I am a man because my mother raised me to be and I remember all of these people telling her in front of me that she couldn’t. I think my mom underestimates herself because I get my strength from Jesus, true, but secondly, I learned it from her. I don’t know of any woman stronger than my mom and I can’t think of any man weaker than Anthony Terrell Sr. My mom gave me love that could equal more than a big family and she taught me so much about life. I am proud of who I am and I am proud of her and I ashamed of these other people. That doesn’t mean that I am bitter. I am just ashamed. She is happy today and I am grateful. As far as we are concerned, it is over. And as for my brother NO ONE WOULD LET ME KNOW, I think I can get to know him now, absent IGNORANCE. This is Andre. I am a thug. I’m a true hero under God. I owe it all to my mom and I can’t be her hero because she’s my hero first. Peace.

IT IS BY THE GRACE OF GOD THAT YOU HAVE WHAT YOU HAVE. IT IS NOT FOR YOU TO JUDGE, LET GOD DO THAT. I PRAY FOR YOUR HEART BECAUSE IT NEEDS TO HEAL. I PRAY THAT THE HATRED THAT YOU HAVE FOR JOY DID NOT EFFECT YOUR CHILDREN BECAUSE THESE THINGS DO IN A WAY AND WE DONT EVEN KNOW IT. YOU KEEP MENTIONING GOD ALOT IN YOUR WRITINGS BUT I’M NOT READING WORDS OF A GOD FEARING WOMAN. THESE WORDS ARE OF ONE WHO CONDEMS THE DEAD AND SPEAK VENGENSE, THAT BELONGS TO THE LORD. THE LORD WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU IN WHAT HE SEES FIT FOR YOUR DEEDS, LIKE THE ONES YOU’VE COMMENTED ABOUT WITH JOY. THE SAME EYE FOR A EYE, YOU WROTE ABOUT WILL BE YOURS TO COME AND WHEN IT PASS. THE WORDS WE WILL READ WILL BE THOSE PEOPLE WHO SAID THAT YOU WERE WRONG FOR WHAT YOU SAID. THEY MAY EVEN LAUGH AT YOU BECAUSE YOU CAUSED YOUR FATE TO BE SOMETHING JUST AS HAINUS.

    PLEASE!! Probably a Deleston relative! I KNEW Joy when we went to VSU and our boyfriends were in the same fraternity and I was trying to get to know her until I walked in on her half naked up on my boyfriend! I kicked both of them to the curve and Joy and I never spoke again. Then she got into it with a sgt she worked with as a detention officer because she was sleeping with the woman’s husband ! That woman left her job but I would’ve stayed. Joy was not pretty and she did wear a lot of makeup and had a big booty so she threw it men. I read an article where a guy we went to VSU together with said guys had to have a good excuse to their girlfriends for talking to Joy. That is true because she tried to feed their egos and sleep with them. No one was jealous of Joy. Girls were just leery of her and there’s a difference. And who is her brother to talk about Juvenile when HE’S IN PRISON FOR SMOKING UP HIS BABY’s MONEY UP ON CRACK? Yeah, on crack and that’s why he’s in prison! The only people who loved Joy were guys getting it and then they’d act like they never did! Herpes was going around and the word was Joy was spreading it. I don’t know if that was true but everyone looked to her first! At least she got smarter and went after men with money instead of broke men. Give her that. I just read another woman’s comment that her husband was a trooper and screwed Joy and broke up their marriage AND She said he told her that Joy did anal! She was nasty and that’s all men loved about her. I agree with Sabrina. He probably had to go through the back door cause the front door was worn out! Nobody was jealous of Joy and yeah I saw “Riff” on you tube. She wasn’t acting. I agree. She acted that way when she was confronted for trying to sleep with a girl’s man. She tried to fight me in my own room! The girl was nasty and dirty like those of us who knew her knew and you all need to get a grip! You should keep your mouths shut if you don’t want to hear what we all know!

    If you read this you all, that’s Joy’s cousin trying to jone and can’t say s*** because She slept with my man and she was a w**** who asked for what she got! There aint nothing else to say you’re right because she earned it back like yall are telling. I sure as hell wasn’t jealous and like this Pam said, we weren’t jealous, leery and she wasn’t anything to be jealous of! You’re just mad because the b**** is DEAD and you can’t cherry coat the truth like all them are telling.SO WHAT if the b**** is dead! She was a home wrecker! And she wasn’t a good mother because if she was she wouldn’t be sleeeping and creepin around in front of her kids! She would have been respected by her son so he OBVIOUSLY didn’t think that much of her and he MURDERED the bitch! So you are so full of s*** now that you are fronted! You may as well take YOUR A** the hell on because a lot of people have a lot to say about THE TRAMP with her trifling a** three babies by three different men who didn’t want her lose ass! Her son killed her and he didn’t have to smoke his two little sisters so that tells what kind of mother she WASN’T!! NOW!

    A friend of mine told me about this forum and I could not believe that was he was saying was true. when I heard about this story, my heart dropped. Anybody with a heart, soul and a concious would feel sorry for this lady and her family. I was very dissapointed to read the information that I just read is just uncanny. Im a man true in nature and from what I have read is that these women talking all this s*** about what this woman did to them. Did you ever take time out to blame your man?. What about yourself, what did you look like at that time? so many women forget what they’re suppose to do when it comes to keeping your man; not keeping yourselves up, fat, and those f*** attitudes. Then most of you want to blame that woman out there that keeps herself up, the kind of s** we want to see.lol you make me laugh, you heartless b****. Your steel the same B*** you was a long time ago and thats sad. If you have a man now he’s cheating thats a given. To the brother (Bowd8) man keep putting it out like your doing, we all need God and thats the truth. Ladies and I use the term loosely, if you have’nt moved on by now then you want ever. Maybe thats what your punishment is, Is to live the rest of your sad lives wandering if you could have been her. I’ve got to tell other people to check this out. This s*** is unbeleaveable jealous B***, jealous b***. LOL

    There are many women out there who blame the other woman for losing their men but this is the first time I have ever read such disgusting hate, bitterness, and cowardness. It seems to me that it isnt Joy you hate for what she may or may not have done, you hate yourself because you couldnt save your relationships. Whatever problems you were having started way before Joy entered the picture. You have to hate yourself to write these things about a deceased woman who not only was a victim of a brutal crime with her two daughters but who also happens to be someone’s child. I dont wish to get into an angry war of words but this is really an embarrassing and shameful image of women scorned. You women couldnt have possibly moved forward because obviously you never left the past in the past. And now you will forever be left with these unresolved issues because the person you needed to close those chapters with is gone. I hope that all of you with these unresolved issues with Joy get some real help whether it is professionally or spiritually because if you dont the same evil spirit that possessed you to write these word will forever haunt you. There are many people who are gonna do things to you that are dissapointing to one degree or another. Are you gonna write hateful words about them as each one of them meets their end? Even though you have shown that you have no respect for yourselves by airing your dirty laundry on the internet at least show some respect to her mother who not only had to bury her child and her grandchildren but never did anything to harm you.

    I just want to say to all the people reading this, my cousin is the one posting these comments in retaliation to all the comments made truthful about Joy Deleston, who I couldn’t stand and if any one wants to tell more truths about her, keep coming because everyone who knew Joy knows that nobody was jealous of her. They know she was an evil little b**** and I personally couldn’t stand her. Yeah, we got into it because he happens to have a lot of her ways and got mad because people have something to say about her then he smarted his fat mouth off on me so I say say what you feel. That’s why I busted his fat mouth. Joy was a real w**** and a real b**** and he can’t stop people from saying the truth. Nobody was jealous of the b**** and people don’t give a damn that she’s gone. The only ones they feel sorry for are the kids. They suffered because they had a crazy mother who used them man to get money and s*** and her son knew she was a whore. She used him and he knew it! Joy always tried to stalk these guys who didn’t want her and I told her one day she wouldn’t be talking s*** bout taking these men. She didn’t look good. She just took it in every hole and most guys wouldn’t say no to that. She always was insecure and tried to get men who had women because she thought that s*** was funny man. Most of the women looked a hell of a lot better than her fat a** and I don’t mean “phatt” man. Joy had a big mouth, a nasty attitude, and was a stanking whoe who nobody she tried to f with liked and I say anyone who wants to talk the truth bout the stank little whoe, hey speak the truth.

She wasn’t pretty and she had to use sex to get men and that’s why she had three babies by three different guys who all ditched her a** and ducked her didn’t want her! She was ugly inside and out and was PSYCHOTIC!!! Nobody stalks Juvenile and his wife like she did and call themselves normal! Get real!! Joy had so many D in her no wonder a man said he had to put in her a to get a feel!! THREE BABIES BY THREE GUYS AND SHE STALKED JUVENILE!! SHE WAS A DESPERATE WHORE!!!

Those Terrell boys all they can do is beat up on women like they grew up watching their drunk daddy do and they think they are better than other black folks but at the end of the day they know thay aint s*** just like their daddy so called daddy anyway. Yeah, they like to beat up on the ugly desperate women they beat around who can’t get a good brother down in the dirty south. Dwaynelynn is really bi polar and has bad mood swings and he told us he was gonna get on here and start in his multiple personality side to get even with ya’ll who didn’t like Joy. Keep on preaching the gospel truth cause she looked like s*** and she was a ho. Bye. Dwaynelynn, you need to get out of your white boy personality. You forgot, as always Terrells do, you are not white! YOU ARE BLACK! ACCEPT YOU ARE BLACK JUST LIKE THE REST OF US BLACK PEOPLE! STOP TRYING TO BE WHITE!

    Marc that is so true so a sweet sensitive gay Dwaynelynn is all bent out of shape that people don’t care what he feels and tell the reality while he still is in third person trying to be white! Nobody gives a damn what he thinks and he needs to go take his gay little toothpick and get another fag to smoke it! I had heard those guys were on the down low as it is!! Real sweet boys they are! Joy was a disgusting woman who let any guy who she met near about it stick it in her and was half naked up on mine! Most women looked better than that whoe and IT WAS just that she was such a dirty nasty w**** that men did her! NOTICE !!!! They all disappeared on her! Juvenile said she harassed his family til no end. She had ISSUES! She called him non stop and threatened extortion and she threatened to go to the media all the time. She stalked him relentlessly and he said it. WE didn’t say it! Nobody cares what Dwaynelynn’s little sensitive multiple personality thinks! That uncle Tom!

    I don’t think anyone who had to deal with this Joy sleeping with their man are the ones on trial for how they looked or what they did or did not do. Besides the guy I just read from said they looked better than this woman. It seems like she was a real Jezebel so instead of telling them to look at the Bible, maybe you need to read the story of the harlot who was lose. The Bible says you reap what you sew so looks like she did and it doesn’t say that afterwards there’s nothing anyone can really say but she reaped it. She sounds like a real slut.

    O.K. AFTER READING THE NEW AND THE OLD MESSAGES. IT CAN BE CONCLUDED THAT (1). THESE PEOPLE ARNT WRAPPED TO TIGHT. (2). THERE’ ALOT OF PAIN STILL HARVESTED. AND (3). GOD IS NOT IN YOUR LIVES LIKE HE NEEDS TO BE. ALL OF YOUR REMARKS ARE THOSE OF INMATURE CHILDREN. COMMING FROM A MAN, I WENT INTO THE AJC AND LOOKED UP STORIES ON THIS SITUATION. I SAW PICTURES OF JOY DELESTON AND HER KIDS. THERE WAS ALSO THE SHORT MOVIES THAT SHE WAS INVOLVED IN. IT LOOKED TO ME, THAT THIS WOMAN WAS PUTTING OUT HER BEST EFFORTS TO BE HER OWN PERSON. I GUESS YOU CAN SAY THAT MAYBE SHE MOVED ON WITH HER LIFE. I KNOW THAT ALL OF THOSE COMMENTS THAT ARE BAD ABOVE THIS ONE ARE FROM WOMEN. I CAN TELL THESE TYPES OF WOMEN WHEN I SEE THEM. THEY ARE THE ONE THAT GET MESSED OVER BY A MAN, AND BLAME THEMSELVES LIKE THESE WOMEN ON HERE. LADIES, ITS NOT YOUR FAULT. ITS NOT HER FAULT. YOU DONT LOOK ANY BETTER MAKING COMMENTS AS YOUR ARE BECAUSE WE ALL SEE RIGHT THROUGH THEM. THE PICTURES I SAW I GUESS THEY WERE RECENT. THAT WOMAN WAS BEAUTIFUL AND SHAPELY. I SEE NOW THAT YOU ALL WERE JEALOUS OF THIS WOMAN BECAUSE WE ( MEN ) LIKE THAT. LADIES KEEP LOOKING YOU’LL FIND A ME THE WANT SOMETHING LIKE YOU, WHAT EVER THAT IS AND IM NOT SAYING THAT BAD. IF YOUR A REAL WOMAN POST THAT PICTURE SO WE ALL CAN SEE WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE IF YOUR NOT SCARED. VERY EASY TO HIDE BEHIND WORDS.

    Hi. This is Melissa. My son admitted he left a comment and I reviewed it today while I am working from home and I see so many different responses. People have a constitutional right to agree and disagree. I do not condone what little Anthony has been accused of. I feel my life has been purged of grief and I feel no more. I feel that it is unfortunate, under these circumstances, that my son can forge a new relationship with his blood brother. Nevertheless, that is what little Anthony and Andre have both conveyed they want. I will have nothing to do with the interference of this, as it should have been supported by the adults all of this time. Any justified anger which I had has been purged also and frankly, this is a new chapter in my life and that of my son’s. In terms of anyone’s appearance, that is really irrelevant, but I am very secure with my appearance. I weigh 140 and am 38C 25 38 and I power walk 5.2 miles 4 days a week and I do weights thereafter. I am very, very pretty and I have a very nice body for my ONE man. I have gotten better with three more children and I love the way I look and feel. I also love who I am inside and I do not compare myself to no one. I am beyond blessed with Andre and my other children. I have a man who is from Jesus but if he were take us for granted, I would not say a word. I would merely cease to be in his life. As far as Anthony Terrell, Sr., he was my first love and my friend. I loved him deeper than the ocean but that was a very long time ago. I believe that he must have a beautiful wife, who had the decency and womanhood to try to do the morally right thing by initiating my son and her husband a relationship. In retrospect, though, I understand that had that been, my son would possibly not have grown into the decent real man he has. I am totally in love with my first adult love and he keeps me satisfied everyday. Joy was evil to my son and I and we have every right to feel the way we have. However, I feels that is eradicated now. I have forgiven Joy and now I will support Andre in his sincere quest to support his blood brother. He, nor I, will never speak about little Anthony ever again and especially will not disclose anything conveyed between any of us. I have informed him that he needs to only discuss anything pertaining to what happened with his attorney, as being that I am a paralegal, the ramifications can be dire if he does not. I will not discuss any of his family with him and I will stay out of his relationship with Andre. I do not feel it is tactful for people to bash Joy but I am not doing so. Therefore, I wanted to just reply to all who are, with this. Let it go. I feel sorry for the Terrells in that they forfeited Andre because certainly, by all means, it was their loss. Andre is such a blessing and reward. He is so just unbelievable. He has a spirit from Jesus and he is truly ordained by Him. I have everything to be grateful for and I made the right choice in having and keeping my son when I was barely seventeen years of age. He does bring me flowers and he is so loving and affectionate. Yet, in an age in which some men are afraid to express that, he is proud to exhibit it. He is of such substance and inner strength; so exceptional. He truly is and that means more than the home we live in, the man in my life, the money of this life. It surpasses anything I could have dreamed of as my reward. Some people go through life not even knowing what it feels like to be rewarded from Jesus for doing what you knew in your heart was only right. There was nothing wrong in loving his father and I loved from my soul so there could have only been honesty and purity in that. There was no black nor white in my heart and all I saw was my friend and a person who had so much to give in life. That was who I saw him as then. Then, there is no reason to be upset and now I was given someone in my adult life who is not only handsome, but is perfect for me and spiritually discerned by Jesus. I have more in my life than I could ever have imagined and I am speechless as to how grateful I am inside. I feel very truly sorry that Andre was not given he and little Anthony’s birth right to have the bond they deserved because if they had, perhaps this would not have happened. I do not think about what has occurred. I think about if Anthony Sr is going to stand up for his son or neglect him with shame? I think about, regardless the circumstances, is little Anthony cold and sad? Does he have someone to talk and be there for him, regardless what brought him there? He is only, after all, barely seventeen. I consider how I would feel if it were my son there and how I would want him to be treated, less ill treated. There is nothing which could ever make me turn my back on my son. Jesus is the same. I hope, then, that Anthony, Sr. stands up to the occasion by not forsaking his son in his time of need, so that also Jesus may not forsake him one day in his. I will not view anything else in respect to little Anthony and I am sickened by some. I do not judge him and I feel very sad for him. So sad. I feel it is all a pure waste. That is my conclusion of the matter.

    To MR.00 JACKSON Nobody gives a damn what your loony a** thinks and everyone knows Joy was a slut who was ugly and she is DEAD! She aint NEVER coming back and I looked a hundred times better than her! ANYBODY DID! Secondly, sounds like you’re jealous of Melissa and have some kind of complex with knowing you have kinfolks who kill little sisters and their own mother! I did my research and Melissa and Andre are in a photo in a picture about their story and she is beautiful! Looks like Joy probably was very jealous of her and I saw her when she and Andre were 15 years younger and she looks even better today. You are a mental case who can’t stand the FACT that your kin just is a murderer!! Sounds like Melissa and Andre are fine and I KNEW what a w**** Joy was and she was far from pretty. She wore think makeup to cover up acne, she had a huge forehaed, ugly skin, and she was MANLY!!! Nobody cares about you cause you’re a disgruntled shame faced relative who can’t stop the truth about Joy! Her son killed her!! He killed two little girls and he is never getting out and he SHAMED YOUR FAMILY’S SO CALLED NAME!! Stop hating!! Nobody cares about Joy’s w**** a** being dead especially women who she tried to sleep with their men> You need to be praying for yourself cause your whole family sounds as loony as you are and especially ashamed to be black! I am proud to wear black skin and so I hear you all are ashamed of being black! It must be awful knowing where ever you go people know you have a triple murderer in your genes! Melissa’s son didn’t pump bullets in her and two other children! Melissa, if you get back on her, read this! These people are her relatives and they are as crazy as she was. They are full of s*** and other black people see them for who they are! They can’t say anything about you and your son and I agree with every one else. They got their own s*** back in their faces! You seem to have a wonderful life and they have to live with this for the rest of yours! And, she had a crack head for a brother! Dwayne was locked up for spending his childrens money on crack! He’s in Satellite Prison camp in SC for crack! This loony relative is so full of shit, insecure, and ignorant!! He’ jealous of you and your son and the fact that the world knows the truth that Joy was an ugly w**** and got what was coming!! It raelly must be awful for these people to walk in public with EVERYONE looking at them for who they are!!

    I want to say that Pamela, you misspelled some words. Did you know Mellissa? I have a friend she worked with at Equifax who talked to me about this and it is really complex altogether. She was her supervisor in 1997 I think she said. She said that this woman was absolutely beautiful and was very nice. It seems that there are some people who need to investigate the entire family of this boy who did this. He must be mental and I am wondering what kind of up bringing he had. It doesn’t appear too good, especially that he killed three people in the home and I think that the mother appears to have been so self serving. A lot of women, especially married, are coming forward and indicating that they had quarrels with her about their husbands. Doesn’t seem as if she was a very moral woman. This man clearly is jealous of Mellissa but I am interested in knowing more about her. I am going to try to have my co worker get in touch with her now and I think she should tell her side. It seems as if she is a charming woman from what I was informed. Mr. “Jackson”, you seem as if you need to read the Bible and you seem very angry and jealous. You need to direct your anger towards this young man and humble yourself, as you are making yourself appear very not all there. You don’t have any other options.

    I met Melisa when I was a room mate of Anthony’s and we were at VSC. My wife and I we live in Atlanta now and I work in upper management for Target. For a while I stayed in touch with her and Andre, roughly up until she had her third baby and they bought a house in Roswell I think. I knew Joy and I won’t say too much about her for other than she pulled a gun on my friend and I told Anthony he needed to get the hell away from her. Then again, he was too irresponsible about the dogs he let s*** all in our apartment and wouldn’t pay his share of the bills. He cared more about the dogs than his own babies. I saw Melissa cry the first night I met her but I stayed up all night getting to know her. The truth, in my opinion, Anthony was a dog and didn’t deserve the girl. Joy tried to do stuff to other people and she really wasn’t that good looking. Melisa had a nice attitude. She was really sweet and innocent. I saw her last and she made us a whole meal and just said she wanted to cook us something. I love my wife but I mean this in another way. I cared a lot about Melisa and Andre and she did a great job raising that kid. Melisa was really beautiful and was a beautiful person too. I don’t know how looks matter right now but Joy didn’t have anything on Melisa and that was the reason Joy always tried to fight. I saw this go on and it was like a soap opera. Anthony was just a dog. Melisa was a real person who should be proud of Andre and herself. I’ve been thinking about them and I hope you’ll call us if you’ve got our number. I didn’t even know Aaron’s last name and I tried to get back with you and Andre but the number was no good. It was Sprint and said it was someone else’s number when we called. Anthony was a dead beat and you raised Andre better than a lot of brothers I’ve seen raised by a whole big family. Haters, Melisa. Haters! You didn’t even look like you had one kid last I saw and none of that matters anyway. You keep yourself safe and Andre. Take care. Warren.

    My brother works with a Lt. Anthony Terrell at VSP..I think this dude has been the only person at this prison who can beat up on his wife and keep his job.I heard he was gay, but is on the DL,sounds like he needs to come out the closet and be real man about his sexuality.

    Joy was not into no voodoo and all the negetive stuff i read from the one lady.Whatever feeling she had, she had the right to have those feelings.
    It’s one thing satan told the truth about and that is he was walking to and fro the earth seeking who he might devour. Well he got to use someone, so that’s what he did.
    Also the bible says in the last day’s mother will be against daughters and sons against fathers. etc! the bible states donot be alarm for these things MUST happen before the end is too come. It’s a sick thing for anyone to voice such hostility on anyone that has been slaughted like that. The heart is no good. However, however theirs a God that knows it all, and he will take care of this matter. The bible also states beware to what you do to the little ones. Jesus loves us all.
