    really sad wow i hope that girl can live a normal life after going through something so terrible.

  • Dangerous House

    I THINK i once heard a teenage girl on that porch shouting “why did you kill my baby”

    (It seemed that they had a baby together and the guys did’nt want to deal with it)

    A balance of emunah, thinking positively, and being aware of yr surroundings is the way to go

  • trust your intuition

    I used to live on that side of the block and for some reason I always felt uncomfortable walking past that house alone (something seemed fishy). I always crossed the street as an extra safety measure (and I’m not generally paranoid) lesson: always trust your intuition.

  • president st

    that place is known as the cage house! for years girls are scared to pass that house. The Blacks that live there are all so wild & unsupervised. Thank G-d they are cracking down on them.

  • ther

    horrific. where are this girl’s parents, weren’t they searching for her? Can someone make sure that she gets therapy? She needs that, and she needs some real TLC

  • maybe

    just my imagination. doesn’t this dude look a lot like a version of the perp in the pic from the child abduction thingy the other day? Except, this pic has a beard

  • retarted

    There was a dog Howling….for days from that house.
    I shined flashlight…and saw curtains peeking, had no idea. Wow. Frighting. i live behind house

  • CHRes

    Really hope the girl will be ok in every way.

    Strangely enough, I too always hurried past that house and felt it was an uncomfortable and ominous place. It does pay to listen to your instincts.

    Let’s just hope that due to imprisonment there will be failures to pay mortgage and the house will be sold on action to nice Jewish family.

    ive had problems with these guys b4. the one on the right to be exact. a few years ago i was was walkin down that block with 2 of my friends, we were no older then 15, when he threw a bottle of orange juice at us. hit me and spilled over all of us. he then ran into that house with the white fence and his mother or some woman there said it wasent him so we got the cops involved they interrogated it out of him and they gave him a warning. thats all.

    so u can see where these type of criminals start, you have to do something about the small stuff in order to stop the big stuff from happening.

    we cannot ignore these small remarks that young teenagers shout out or throw at you. there is no limit wher there is no boundaries. especially for these kids.

  • cooooooooo cooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!
