Who Murdered My Co Worker’s Cousin?

This is a very tragic story about a co worker’s cousin in a very large and close family. Lets just call my co worker “Jane”.

Apparently there was a party at the Aunt’s house for a bunch of 16 to 18 year old kids. Their was alcohol to which the Aunt had provided along with the kids. Well, This young boy of 16 does not drink, smoke or take drugs. It is a known fact that he was a good kid and was just there to be with his friends. He knew that some of them did drugs but figured that that was their choice. According to (Jane), some of these wonderful friends of his (sarcasm) started putting pills in his soda thinking this was funny. These kids would always ask him if he wanted another soda and then would get it for him. He then after a while started acting as though on drugs and passed out on the couch. No one bothered to check on him – Just letting him sleep it off.

The next morning the aunt (the one who had this party and supervised it)(sarcasm), woke up to find the boy still laying on the couch and his lips were blue. The aunt called 911 and they promptly came out only to find that this young man of 16 was now dead. The autopsy showed that he had consumed several different types of pills.

When asked by (Jane) and her family members to the aunt. “What were you thinking, you are the adult!” “How could you let this happen?” Her reply was, according to (Jane) was almost matter of factly, “It isn’t my fault!” “I couldn’t watch everything that was going on!”

What? Just writing this makes me shake. I could not believe my ears when Jane told me. She had tears in her eyes and a lot of anger.

Well, this happened approx. 3 weeks ago and this is the update. The police are trying to find out which kids gave him the drugs, and when they figure out who they are (of course no one is squealing on them), they will be tried for murder in the 1st degree. The aunt however,  is going to also be charged but only with ” homicide due to neglect”. I could not believe my ears. I am so appalled and dumbfounded at this. She was the adult who is “supposed to be watching and supervising these children!” Well, as you can tell, I totally disagree with this. I feel that she is just to blame if not more for her lack of actions. She was a lousy supervisor and never bothered to checked on this kid who was passed out on her couch. She said she thought he would be ok. If she had checked on him through the night to make sure he was ok, he might have been saved! I honestly believe in my heart,  that she should get life for her actions, or lack of actions.

Write and let me know what you think!
