Quote:
TRENTON, Mich. - Her family says 7-year-old Kathleen Edward is in the final stages of a degenerative brain disorder diagnosed as Huntington's Disease - the same disease which killed her mother, Laura, when she was only 24.

A neighbor who is feuding with the family admitted to posting grim depictions of Laura and Kathleen on Facebook, and also has a coffin hitched to a pick-up truck in front of the house - which the neighbor says is for a halloween decoration.

One photo depicts Laura in the arms of the grim reaper, while the other features Kathleen's face above a set of crossbones.

Police responded to the public feud Thursday, but no arrests were made.

A rally for Kathleen Edward has been planned for Saturday, Oct. 23 from 3 p.m. - 8:30 p.m. at Haas Park in Trenton.

The invitation reads: She has been tormented by sadistic neighbors. Please come and join us in showing Kathleen there are good people that care.

I was laughing at how trashy the neighbors were. Pretty funny. Laughing

But yeah, this shouldn't qualify as news. What's most damning is we don't know why the neighbors are rubbing it in their faces. Most likely there was a feud between the deceased mother that continued even after her death.

'take it or leave it' Laughing

'it's Halloween people, we're going to decorate!' Laughing

There certainly are trashy people out there. Good thing this neighbor was embarrassed publicly for her disgraceful behavior.

Does anyone know if there's an online charity for the girl? I didn't see one.
