New York Mom Accused Of Attempted Murder Intentionally Ran Over Teen Suspected Of Bullying Her Son, Cops Say

Published

A New York mother allegedly ran over a 15-year-old boy twice in an attempt to get even with him for bullying and robbing her son, prosecutors said.

On Oct. 7, officials claim an angry Jennifer Nelson, 35, drove her car into the parking lot of a Dunkin’ Donuts across from William Floyd High School in Mastic Beach and was wielding a knife and small bat when she confronted a group of teenagers, the New York Post reported…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

The 15-year-old victim in the case tried to walk away and made his way into a parking lot, but Nelson got back into her vehicle and started following the teen, officials said.

Nelson allegedly slammed into the boy with her vehicle, knocking him to the ground, and then “proceeded to drive over the victim, up onto a curb, reversed, drove over the victim again,” authorities said.

The teenager suffered multiple fractures to his pelvis, six fractured ribs, a punctured lung and “numerous bruises and abrasions,” the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office said.

In an alleged attempt to throw cops off her trail, Nelson tried to trade in her leased 2020 Honda Passport the same night, prosecutors said.

Suffolk County District Attorney Raymond Tierney said the mother “thought she could take the law into her own hands to kill a 15-year-old in the process.” He added, “Citizens cannot take the law into their own hands, and should instead work with law enforcement and my office to seek justice in every case.”

Nelson believed the boy had earlier bullied and robbed her son, prosecutors said. Officials, however, pointed out two teenagers were later arrested in connection with the robbery of the student, and the victim she hit was not one of them.

Meanwhile, Nelson’s attorney, Paul D’Emilia, told the New York Post that the D.A.’s version of the incident was “unfortunate and misleading” and claimed prosecutors were trying to “conflate two separate events that day as one continuous occurrence.” READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

D’Emilia stated Nelson got a “frantic telephone call from her son” that he was “being bullied and physically assaulted in the parking lot” outside of the high school.

When the concerned mother got there, she found her son “shoeless and surrounded by tormentors,” he said.

Nelson claimed she fended off her son’s attackers and then drove to both the junior high school and senior high school to report the incident and try and retrieve her son’s sneakers.

From there, D’Emilia said Nelson hit the teen almost two hours later when she was driving her son home.

The defense lawyer said, “A group of males were running through the streets, and one of the young men received injuries after striking Ms. Nelson’s car. Ms. Nelson did not see nor recognize the young man who was injured.”

Nelson claimed she was “completely taken by surprise” and did not see the teen running toward her car and the victim “ran off after the incident.”

She was arraigned on Feb. 6 and charged with second-degree attempted murder, first-degree assault, first-degree reckless endangerment, and one count of leaving the scene of an accident that resulted in serious physical injury.

How The People of Ara-Ekiti Committed Mass Suicide To Avoid Enslavement in 1855

Published

on

By

The mass suicide was initiated by the leader of Ara town, Alara Elejofi, who (with the help of his first son) destroyed his properties, killed his family and himself. Many other households in the town replicated this act, and when the Ibadan army arrived with their wide array of weaponry, they turned back at the gory sight of dead bodies that littered the town…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

Earlier, the people of Ara had rebelled against their former Alara (ruler) because of his bad governance and the grevious offences he had committed against his townspeople. He was exiled. It was during his exile that Chief Elejofi took over the rulership of the town.

The exiled Alara was not willing to let go of his throne and thus sought help from Ibadan. His request was granted because Ibadan, which as at then was gradually filling the vacuum created by the fall of Oyo, was hungry for towns to shove under its administration. The Ibadan army had just returned from an expedition in Ijebu-Ere and with their help, the deposed Alara returned to Ara and was fearfully accepted.

Shortly after Ibadan restored the deposed Alara of Ara, its army attacked Ikoro, another town in Ekiti, because they prevented Ibadan army from foraging on their crops, and also because there were rumours that Ikoro was planning to attack the Ibadan army.

During the attack on Ikoro, some other towns in Ekiti, including Ara-Ekiti, tried to defended Ikoro. The restored Alara prevented his townspeople from joining the fight against Ibadan, hence another unrest ensued in the town. Ibadan eventually defeated Ikoro and went ahead to punish the towns that helped Ikoro during the war, including Ara. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

During this period, Chief Elejofi had again taken over the rulership of Ara and held on to it for some months before it eventually crumbled due to starvation, and to avoid being enslaved by Ibadan, the people of Ara-Ekiti committed an unprecedented mass suicide. This incident is quite similar to the mass suicide of Igbo slaves off the U.S. coast in 1803.

The town of Ara was left deserted for many years before some of its exiled descendants returned home. Ara suicide remains one of the most disturbing chapters in the history of Ekiti and the entire Yoruba land.

According to the court documents, the District Attorney’s Office agreed to reduce her sentence at 45 years if she pleaded guilty. Investigators revealed that the 5-year-old child, Mercedes, suffered weeks of extreme physical abuse that left her with cuts and bruises and caused her to lose large chunks of hair and several toenails.

Both the mother and her boyfriend abused the child for three weeks after she asked him to help discipline the girl. She claimed he forced her daughter to put dog fe-es in her mouth as he screamed at her. The mother also said that her boyfriend stuffed a sock soaked in ur-ne into the girl’s mouth and then pulled it out so aggressively that two of her teeth fell out, officials have said.

During an interview with investigators, the mother also said that her boyfriend repeatedly struck Mercedes with belts and his hands, which were covered with rings. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>
