'Devil of Detroit St' mother who harassed terminally ill girl has lost custody of her children

The mother who admitted to taunting a seven-year-old girl who is suffering from a degenerative illness has lost custody of her two children.

<snip>

Petkov's eight-year-old daughter and five-year-old son have now been placed with their father until further notice.

The children's father had filed for the emergency hearing to gain custody immediately after the story broke.

The woman dubbed the Devil of Detroit Street is accused of attempting to run down another neighbour with her car.

Tana Boling claims she was forced to run for her life as Petkov purposefully drove at her at speed while she was trying to cross the street - to visit Kathleen's grandmother Rebecca Rose...

1. nice. those poor kids. i hope that woman gets some jailtime.

[sufrommich]

2. Yay! nt

[47of74]

3. This woman needs a long stay in a mental institution

[bluestateguy]

4. Of course. I should have known.

Nobody can criticize bad behavior anymore. There must always be some disease, disorder or syndrome that excuses it.

[Warpy]

5. Bad behavior is talking with your mouth full

Outrageous behavior like this requires an evaluation.

Yeah, she might just be a raving asshole. Then again, there might be something else going on, something that can be fixed.

Oh well, I guess it's just easier to throw people into prison than check things out.

[freebrew]

6. Right. "something that can be fixed."

lobotomy?

[Warpy]

7. Think substance abuse rehab, brain tumor removal

psychiatric drugs, intensive counseling. It would be good to give her an evaluation, at the very least, even if it is just to confirm she's an asshole.

Oh, right, it's cheaper and easier to throw her into jail.

[sufrommich]

8. "Oh, right, it's cheaper and easier to throw her into jail."

She tried to run over one of her neighbors. I'm pretty sure that's illegal.

10. but st ronnie got rid of those places

because he said all the residents were faking it and just to leftist to make it on their own. So, we got all the nut cases out on the street, getting married, pissing in shrubbery, driving fast while trying to run down folks and it's better to pay a private prison company 54K a year than to treat mental illness.

Jeez, I gotta stop reading stories like this and making comments, it's making me NUTZ>

14. What was even more disgusting was her defiant

pride in her actions during a tv interview. She even said she'd do it again and was glad that she "burned the grandmother's ass" (the girl's grandmother is her caretaker, since her mother died of the very disease that is now killing the poor girl). It was only after the publicity caused people to shun and harass HER and her husband that they backed down and "apologized." The ONLY thing she's sorry for is having it get out to the public.

[Warpy]

17. I knew someone years ago who was very much like that

and completely lost inhibition when it came to lashing out at everybody around her.

She was dead a year later from Creutzfelt-Jakob.

She needs that evaluation. If it turns out she's just your ordinary garden variety asshole, then prison awaits.

9. This woman reminds me of a nutcase neighbor I was acquainted with years ago.

When I realized she had obsessive delusions & jealous feelings about other neighbors, I got weary of being around her so I started distancing myself from her. Then she turned her feelings of inadequacies on me & started trying to make my life miserable.

Her son grew up thinking that other kids didn't like him & targeted him, but that was not the case at all. It was his mother who passed along thoughts of imaginary persecution to him.

I don't like witch hunts, but it seems like the healthy thing for the kids to take them away from this horrid mother & give them a better chance with the father.

[DiverDave]

12. Is the son O.K.?

I hope he is, growing up with a lunatic is painful

[pacalo]

13. I don't have any contact with them anymore to hear the latest details

but I think he's either going to a trade school or has a job. I see him out in the yard every once in awhile when I drive past their house & he still seems "slow".

That poor guy, when he used to come to my house to play with my two sons, he just couldn't seem to connect to anyone else. I heard him say, "You're so stupid, (his name)" to himself when he fell off his skateboard.

A negative parent could be very dangerous to a child's developing self-esteem.

[applegrove]

11. Thank heavens the father stepped in. What a creep.

[Barack_America]

15. That's what I thought.

Unfortunately, she also has children with the current husband who helped her carry out many of her attacks.

[applegrove]

16. Okay. I threw up a bit in my mouth.

18. As the sage said,...

Why in the world are we here,
Surely not to live in pain and fear,
Why on earth are you there,
When you're ev'rywhere,
Come and get your share.

19. I hope this puts an end to it once and for all, so that little girl and her

family can have some peace.
