UGH
Whilst doing my morning DIGG from my Google Updates...I came across this little pearler
Woman described as devoted to daughter
UNION-TRIBUNE STAFF WRITERSMay 27, 2008SCRIPPS RANCH – Rebecca “Becky” D'Aoust appeared to be a devoted mother to her youngest daughter.
D'Aoust would hurry to the girl's basketball practice straight from work, and even though she might be late, she made sure to be there, a coach said yesterday.
“She'd come in dressed very nice, in her work clothes,” said Linda Jones, a coach for a Scripps Ranch basketball team that D'Aoust's daughter played on. “So you could see how she wanted to be there for her daughter.”
D'Aoust died yesterday, a day after she was hit in the head with a hammer or some other blunt object in her home.
Her 14-year-old daughter is being held in Juvenile Hall on suspicion of murder.
Police believe D'Aoust, 56, was the victim of a violent outburst by the girl Sunday morning.
The death has shaken neighbors and brought tears to the eyes of friends close to the D'Aoust family.
“It's horrible what has happened to this family,” said neighbor Lori Erlenbach. “They were a good, close family. That's all that needs to be said right now.”
Neighbor Arthur Moreau, who earlier said he would be acting as the D'Aoust family spokesman, hung up on a reporter yesterday when asked to talk about the D'Aousts.
Officers were called to the home on Canyon Lake Drive near Pinetree Drive just before 9 a.m. and found Becky D'Aoust on the kitchen floor with a serious head injury.
Her husband, James, and an older daughter were sleeping at the home during the attack. Another daughter was away at school.
Lt. Kevin Rooney, a San Diego police homicide detective, said police will present evidence by tomorrow afternoon to the District Attorney's Office, which will decide whether the girl should be charged as a juvenile or an adult.
Rooney said police still don't know what sparked the attack and has declined to release the identity of the daughter because she is a minor. She was known to some former classmates at Miramar Ranch Elementary School as a shy girl who kept a small circle of friends.
“She wasn't a loner but she was someone who didn't try to make a lot friends,” said Janny Jones, a former schoolmate and the daughter of Linda Jones.
Linda Jones said that during the time she coached D'Aoust's daughter in basketball three years ago the girl appeared to be insecure.
“She'd sometimes stand away from the other girls, hang on the edge of the group,” Jones said.
There was never anything to suggest tension between mother and daughter, Jones said. The two appeared happy when they were together, she said.
Becky D'Aoust worked as a counselor at Spreckels Elementary School in the San Diego neighborhood of University City, according to the school's Web site. James D'Aoust is a project manager with the San Diego Supercomputer Center at the University of California San Diego.
Becky D'Aoust was selected for the San Diego Unified School District's “Super Service Commendation Award” in January 2007.
She was known for her work as an adviser to Spreckels' student council. The school's Web site describes a student council anti-litter project that D'Aoust coordinated. Under the program, students who made extra efforts to pick up litter received a discount at the school store.
A former Spreckels first-grade teacher remembered D'Aoust as being friendly and fluent in Spanish, always willing to translate.
“She was extremely helpful to me,” said Doris Bennison of Rancho Peñasquitos.
Staff writer Jose Luis Jiménez and researcher Beth Wood contributed to this report.
But its the 76 (at this point comments) that are appalling....
And at just 14 years of age she is going to be TRIED as an Adult
Of course she must have been adopted...Don't you know all Adoptees have Murder in their Heart
GRRRR Watch Out I'm adopted and I'm coming to get you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :P :P :P
Absurdity....that being adopted = being a murderer. A Biological child can also snap, usually when drugs are involved and commit horrific acts
And here is is written over on this site with speculation and comments from people who *know* the family that she's adopted.
Why is it that everyone immediately says,
- its because she was adopted,
- she was adopted you know,
- well its to be expected - after all she was adopted
Why don't they say , you know she was very unhappy, you know she was on drugs, etc...why is the FIRST condemnation pointed to being adopted ?
Adoptees are NOT a different breed you know, we don't have murder in our hearts and in fact there are MORE news stories about Adoptive Parents killing/abusing their Adopted Child than there are of Adoptees killing their Parents
If everyone is so damn frightened of adoptees becoming little monster murderers then STOP ADOPTING !!
