There is something terribly wrong with the world today. A horrible news happened in Colorado USA to a 52-year-old woman who was murdered by her own 15-year-old daughter Tess Damm who was assisted by her live-in boyfriend Bryan Grove, 17. The victim, Linda Damm, was first stranggled by her daughter's boyfriend before she was stabbed to death and left for almost a month in the trunk of a car. Tess, her boyfriend and another friend twice tried to bury the body but failed because they thought the grave they dug was just too shallow, so they hurled the body back into the trunk. In the meantime, while the dead body was left to decompose in the car's trunk, the three teens partied and used Linda's debit card to do what kids their age want to do. A neighbor of the Damms told the police that Tess and Bryon hated Linda who was an alcoholic and had recently lost her job. The neighbor further said that the family had a very difficult life. The three teens were arrested and jailed without bail and they will be tried for murder, conspiracy, etc. as adults. For more details of the story, read it by using the link

rarity, I will add your blog link to my blog as well. Please be informed that I'm boy actually, not a girl. lol, So you may be have to change the link name as Inhair Studio (A boy Blog) :)
In the world today, we all realize that regret is in the last part. I was so sad what happen to the news that she killed her own mother, a mother that the one who take care of her,until she grow up.But in return she just killed her mother without realizing the sacrifices spent of her mother. In hope that the justice will reveal..
What she have done is not good. Even though our mothers has a lot of failures with us we should always bear in mind that she is the one who gave us life. Nobody is perfect in this world, we have a lot of imperfections. So, whether we like our mothers or not we have to respect her. I think all of us know what is the fourth commandment..... HONOR YOUR MOTHER AND FATHER.
I was so shocked as I was reading the story. Regardless of what's happening, unless your mother was attacking you, there is absolutely nothing that justifies the stabbing of one's mother, or anyone for that matter. I can't imagine a daughter killing her own mother. To actually be heartless and desperate enough to kill her own mother...The person who birthed her and raised her.. Being a daughter myself, I will never ever do that to my own mother because I owe her my life. She sacrificed for nine months just to deliver me into this wonderful world.
WHAT IS HAPPENING TO OUR YOUTHS TODAY? with our generation today youths are very active, curious and adventurous. They make actions without thinking what will be its consequences. Its a reality that sometimes we get mad to our mother because of too much nagging and etc but not to the extent of killing our own mother. How could such a child be so blind that it was enough to kill her mother who truly loves her?
what wrong with the people today..people are acting like animals..who kills people so easy...Tess should not kill her own mother.even her mother has a lot of failures towards her, she still dont have the right to get the life of her mother..It is Only God who has the right to get our lives..even to our own life, we still dont have the right to get it..:[
but that failure will serve as a guide to her to follow the right path../way..Hope this incedent will serve as a lesson to all the daughters/sons, that they should always respect their parents and all their elders.
I think there is a problem between both the parents and the mother and we still dont know the reason why?? The worst thing happened is a 15 year old girl murdered her own mother and with the assistant of her boyfriend. I really feel so bad despite of being a daughter stab here mother to death. A mother, what ever you feel so agry with your mother still shes your mother by words or by deeds. She is the one who gave us life. We are not here if they are not here!! But regret is in the last part according to eleanor's Comment i agree with that. Justice will prevail.

Daryl A. Aquino said:
The fourth commandment states that " Honor your father and mother".
I know all of us are very familiar with this statement. It tell us to love, respect, care, and honor our parents. We honor them for bringing us life here on earth. As siblings, we do also responsible for them.
In the CNN news about killing her own mother, I don't think so that the daughter's conscience will not stop her. Even how bad your mother is, still the respect is there. NO matter what happen, she is still her mother. Despite of all the failures of her mother, love should remain.If there are problems why not talk on the issues and reconcile with it or ask for help to other people. She should not kill her mother. I don't think that there is justice to kill her mother. Regrets is not enough, her mother already died. She could no longer brought the life that once shared to her.
For those who accompanied Tess, It's just like they kill there own mother. What they have done is really terrible and dont know if there is still forgiveness waiting for them. I really don't know what it is in the minds of these teenagers why commit such crime.
As a son of my mom, I will always love her no matter what happens.
weew!that story was really unbelievable!...
i cant imagine a daughter killed her own mother...let's say she's not really the one who actually kill her mother, but what she did still be considered that she is really guilty!
i admit that there are times i got mad to my mother, but i never had an idea like killing her just because of that small conflicts!
even if our parents keep on nagging us especially our mother, we should still continually love them...because what they did is for our own good...and besides, they are our parents they are the reason why we are here...whatever and whoever they are we should still love and respect them...
FOR THE PARENTS:
when u discipline your children dont make it in a way that ur children will not respect u anymore...say it in a nice way so that ur children will understand your point and that they will be able to realize their mistakes...and ofcourse be a good model to ur children...because children most likely imitate what their parents do...and be responsible",)
FOR THE CHILDREN:
love ur parents for who they are",)and try to understand that what they are doing is for your own good",)and have respect to one another...don't engage in any vices that will cause your life to be miserable!that's all",)...Good day
Cases like these are very sad especially when our mothers are involved. I disagree on what Tess has done to her mother. If I were in her place, I will not do the same no matter how much she hurt me.... coz i love my mom so much...tess did not realize what her mom do when she still a baby,what are the sacrifices her mom face..without our mom we are not living in this world today...they are the one gives us life to survive in this world,and to be a better one..God knows how our mother important to as in everyday living,
so what ever our mom do that can hurt us.
the love is still there, because our mom is our comfort till the end.....
SHOCKING..i can't imagine that a young girl can kill her own mother..it is so sad to know that many of our youth today don't respect and disobeyed thier own parents.for me,the failures of her mother is not enough reason for her to kill her mother.i think tess and her boyfriend used drugs,because for me,drugs can really affect our mind.some drug users out there are not aware of what they're doing.as a daugther it is our responsility to obey and respect our mother.our mother is the one who give us life,she sacrifices everything just to raise us well...
As the world of today evolves, there are also some changes that would happen in the minds of the people and often times, the changes affects most of the young adults. Without the proper knowledge of the consequences of their decision might bring, they sometimes decide impulsively. And having the wrong set of friends might add up to it. As i read the story, i wa shocked to know that some children can do this to their own mother. Whats' happening with the youth of today? Maybe its because of bad vices and bad friendd that had made a 15-year old daughter do this to her own mother. I think at this moment she had realize her mistake but it is too late cos it will never bring her mother back. Haven's she realize that a parent, specifically a mother will always stand by her side no matter what happen? That family is forever and having a boyfrien could only last for months or if she's lucky, maybe would last for years. but now its too late for her to realize her mistake and she needs to suffer the consequences brought by the stupid decision she made. Too bad she has the wrong set of friends and the wrong type of guy as her boyfriend....
all teens are now wild and very agresive...they usually rush things...they don't want to think ...even it's bad or good..some are very liberated...others are involved in illegal actions...some are taking prohibited drugs and that can cause actions that are unnecessary...that's what had happened to that 15 year old lady together with her boyfriend and a friend..they did not think about their future...it it's so sad when you see and hear that teenagers now a days are misleading their life and distroy their own future...it's so sad also that you can easily kill the person who love and take good care of you from the very start...i can feel that her mother suffered much from the very start because they are poor...that girl is really bad..i think she needs more care and love..she needs to understand that life is full of pain and trials...and it needs patiaence inorder for us to understand life...i hope this incedent will give lessons...lokk what's the result if you make such things...so think widely and wisely...
for me the mother is always drunk and violent that's why her daughter killed her. but if i were in her place i will not kill my mom because eventhough my mom is hits me and is a drunkard i have no right to kill her beause she's still my mother and there's nothing i can do or say to repay all she did and it is in the 10 Commandments that we should honour our mother and father.
Terrible....! How unkind daughter Tess was! She has no mercy! Eventhough her mother was like that, I mean, not that responsible enough as a mother should be, she has no right to do that and it shouldn't be done 'coz for all we know, no one is perfect. Each one has weaknesses of their own. And if she has any hatred or misunderstanding with her mom, she should be the first one to do a move to make things clear instead of living all that problems behind. All chaose would not end up through quarrels or just by fighting against one another. All they have to do is just to relax, be calm and try to listen each side with open mind and open heart so that it would be so easy for them to accept ones fault. 'Coz for as long as human are beings, no one is exempted with problems. And those problems we have in life serve as trials and stepping stone to find a better us, a better person. And what kind of boyfriend she has? I tell you, he doesn't love Tess. Why? It's because if he really does, he wouldn't think or wish any bad doings that would put Tess and her mother in danger. If you love someone, you'll accept and respect all those persons near to your lover's heart. And sometimes, we shouldn't be carried by our emotions. Sometimes, we need to weigh everything like who is more important? A mother who brought you in this world, who will always be there for you no matter what will happen, and will always love you for the rest of your life or a disrespectful boyfriend? What a shame for Tess! She haven't thought of that realization! You know folks, we should always use our head instead of heart. In fact, head has been put upper than our heart for us to use it first.
the news was a very horrible thing for me.imagine a 15-year old daughter killed her own mother,it was such a satanic act.many people today are acting differently through the influence of evil things.such things control our mind and emotion.i can't imagine how a daughter done a very henious crime to the person who gave life to her.i hope there will be no more crimes like this because these are things that adds to the sinfulness of the world.i'm sure GOD is very upset with his people
This is really the most terrible news ive ever heard all my life. In our world today there are so much crime that is happening everyday, everyhour, but this one is the most unbelievable that could happen. But now i must admit that this could also happen. The only thing or reason why this matter happened is clearly because of illegal drugs, and maybe because of so........much hatred that she felt. all ica say is that this girl is really in sane, she's out of her mind at all.
I was so sad and shocked of what had happened while reading the story. I can't imagine a daughter killing her own mother She don't even think that her mother is the one who raised her, take good care of her, a mother who knows everything. Even though our parents has a lot of failures, we should respect it,support everything and especially love her because not all mothers are perfect. We should bear in mind that our mother is the one who gave us life.
For me the girl made the wrong decision to kill her mother.. she has no right to do that.she dont even realized that her mother do everything just for her, her mom raised her.even though her mother is not perfect but still its not a good reason to kill her mom...
I feel sorry when I was reading the story about the mother named Linda Damm who was killed by her daungter and her daughter's boyfriend. If I am Tess, I will not kill my mother for the reason of she is very angry beacause her mother always drunk.We as a daughter we dont have a right to kill our paernts. We have a big right to gve them a suggestion of what they are doing of their life.

what the hell is happening in the world today!
i am so damn lucky because i have my mom, brothers and sister. i love my mom above all, because she did a lot for me. she never leave me nor forsake me.. ov cors like other mom they never leave their respective child. without our mom we are not here, without them we're nothing, so whatever faults, whatever mistake they did/going ot do, we cannot easily conclude that they are nothing at all.
for instance, a 15 year old girl killed her mom, with her bf and herbf's friend. why? her mom got mistake for only 1 year, how about the 14 years of getting no mistake. she only got few mistake over many years of their life.
we should love our mom, no matter how bad their attitudes are.
in the news, i was so shocked. God! that was satan worked.
may God continue to bless every family in the world.
parents must love their children for them to give love in return, to them and to others..
I must admit that today there are lots of unbelievable crimes. Different kinds of crime is existing because of poverty, illegal drugs, and so much more. These are the people who doesn't have faith and fear on God..
Like the news i have read, very unbeleivable but true enough to admit that the world is not safe anymore even the person closest to us can hurt us. I was so sad hearing the incident, this person will sacrifice for the rest of her life. She will suffer all the consequences that is fitted to the crime she committed. No matter how bad or cruel our mother is, we dont have the right to end her life because she is the one who gave us life in this world.
The news is not quite shocking to me. Due to almost the same story that happened a couple of years ago, with my cousin and his father.
Tess Damm, also a victim of her always drunk mother. It was mentioned that her mother became violent, maybe does not treat her well and maybe not doing her duty as a mother. We cant actually blame her for what happen, because an effect cannot start without the cause. Maybe of much pain and anger inside Tess has been keeping for so long. Sometimes things that are too much to handle would actually come to a point where it explodes,and having different outcomes, in the case of Tess was rather beyond ANY excuse, truly unexcusable, that was killing her mother.
Her mother has also her share of faults. We really dont know what actually happened in the family, since her mother is dead, we are only hearing one side of the story. Although, what her daughter has done is unaccptable. Linda probably, also of the same emotions as Tess, cannot take it anymore, no job-no income, having trouble with her daughter plus her 15-yr-old daughter is having a live-in partner. But i guess that is just how it is to be, it could have ended in a peaceful way, but then again we dont know.
The only mistake that made Tess Damm and her boyfriend got the bigger side of "who's fault is it", is that they spend her mom's debit card and went partying and as if they crime they committed was just the right thing to do. So sad but its true.
Family problems are very normal in each and every family, that differ in degree, but one things for sure if you have faith in God and knows how to communicate with each other then no matter how big the problem is, it can be solved.
In the case of treating Tess Damm an adult in the trial, well.., she's only fifteen yrs old, then again lets leave it to the people behind giving this treatment for they know what to do. As to her boyfriend, he deserves it. He is the doer of the killing part.
But then again we cant judge their motives, everyone deserves a fair trial. Let us then pray for the soul of Linda Damm and enlightenment of the people behind the crime.
This was really an unfortunate event and it could have all been avoided if they both learned to understand and cared for one another. What they lack was communication or the means to correspond to one another. I believe the mother may have experienced regret, frustration, depression, hate over something. What ever the cause for her behavior made her daughter go mad. The daughter lack one huge thing to do for her mother and that is support. She didn’t even bother to know or help her mother. Instead she used murder as a solution. She didn’t love her mother at all, because if she did it would have been different. If I was in her shoes I would done everything to help my mom. Whatever the problem it is and if it’s in my capabilities through thick or thin I’ll be there for her. That’s a proof of my love for my mother! I agree with most of you guys here on how parents and children should learn to respect and value each other. What ever the circumstances may be you only have each other till the end.
The daughter and her live-in partner are guilty beyond reasonable doubt. No amount of reasoning can justify murder. If I were Tess, I woudn't do such act like murder even though my mom is a stupid alcoholic, because the law of God and law of man prohibits murder. There are many ways to solve family problems. I would suggest an alcoholic rehabilitation for the mother of Tess, rather than killing her

The story was so painful, shocking and tremendously horrible! i really cant imagine one way or another of a daughter doing this to her mom.I dont even consider their culture as a "factor" on whatever evil the daughter, her boyfriend and their friend had done. In our society, especially in the Philippines, ive also seen and heard in the news paper and television of parents killing their children. But the causes were usually of psychological illness. I even hate watching those news cause it hurts! not only because I pity them but for God's sake!!! R people becoming cannibals???!!Every year has become a milestone away..so do the faith of the society..How about another decade to come???Thinking bout all these makes me tremble in horror!!!
I think what the news impells us is for us to be awaken! to be aware! to begin to stop for a moment and reflect..who are we? what is our purpose on earth? Because if we dont, we are so blinded with evil in the society that we wont recognize what is wrong or right...
ciao!
As I was reading the story I was shocked what the daughter had done to his mother. I could not imagine the face of the girl killing her own mother who give him birth, do sacrifices, and sufferings just to give her good life, though sometimes they commit mistakes that we usually misinterpret we don’t still have the right to fight back against them nor kill them.
Most of us doesn’t see or fell the importance of our parents now days because they are still there, but time will come that we will be able to realize how important our parents if they are already gone.
The story was terribly horrific...!!!!i was really shock about a 15-year old daughter who murdered her own mother..that thing was really unbelievable..!!!i can't imagine a child killing her own mother who gave birth to us,who suffered for about nine months for carrying us in her womb,who fed us,who took care of us when we were still a baby,who worried for us everytime we were not in thier side,etc....
In the case of Linda and Tess Damm,i have many predictions why it resulted that kind of terrible killing...first,i think they have a huge misunderstanding that they were not able to discuss and talk thier problem seriously..second,i think the mother was showing her daughter a brutalistic way of raising a child..third,maybe Tess damm just had a hurtful feeling with her mother..But,in that cases,theres no rightful reason to kill her own mother..that was really a mortal sin..
Now,she had no right to say sorry because what she did was really unforgiven...and she deserves to pay her own sin and live a miserable life in jail...

This is the most dreadful and the most terrible story i've read. i could not imagine that there is someone in this world who can afford to kill his or her loved one for the sake of what she or he feel. for tess, she hated her mother for being irrresponsible parent, an angry, raging, functional alcoholic and violent person, but i don't think this can be a basis that she can already do what she wants being unruly and unrespectful to her mother and to kill Linda her mother with her live-in boyfriend. she didnt even gave her mother a chance to fix or to resolve their problems. there is always a better way to solve things like this and that is through conversation, speak what have to say and tell the people around you how you feel towards them whether you like them or not so that they'll know what to do and what not to do. the other thing that i learned here is that we all should be careful what will come out in our mouth or what are we going to say coz this might lead us to trouble.
this event could be realization for us that we have to be responsible for our own actions, let no one affect you, or influence you to be a bad person, be strong and never loose hope, know what and who are your main concern. for me, what ever mistakes that my parents have done, i have to accept it, understand them and and learn to forgive them, coz i dont have any right to hurt them in any means. always respect them and love them before any other people, because they are the only ones who will love you with all their heart and accept you no matter what happens.they are the ones who can forgive us without any duobt no matter how big is our fault.

The story was weird and very disturbing.A 15 yr. old girl killing her own mother and with her Boyfriend and a friend.it really was twisted. they acted like beast killing with out pitty. people have become more and more violent there must be a need for decipline and faith in the Lord.
OH My GOD!! What is the worl comming to?!, there is just too much violence in the world today that children turn on their parents and killing them.. the story was really horrible and twisted. i hope those three will burn in hell for killing and innocent woman. they unforgivable.They Act like animals and must be locked up in cages for their crimes.
my comment for that story was in that case it is not easy to have that in your family you shloud have a good communication and how you will handle your family proprely...do let your children do as what tess did to her mom...guide your chlidren in a good way....

After reading the story I feel sad and shocked of what she did to her own mother. Even if our mother have a lots of failure we should think first that she is the one who gave us life to live in this world and our mother had sacrifice for us to give us a good future and to give our needs.We should repect our mother even if he made failures because no one is perfect in this world.We should think first of what we do it may be a good or bad because regret id in the last. She was the only woman that she hate her mother very much,I'm afraid to lost my mother even if you hate her you must think that she always be your mother and you can't change it anymore and don't kill your mother because it's a sin.

Base on the story that i had read.I don't believe that a child killed her own mother.Our mother sacrificed for nine months in order for us to be delivered and to show as the beauty of the world. For me i will not do the same with her for I'm afraid to lost my mother and I really love my mother.She dont think that even if our mother get angry or scolded us it doesn't mean that our mother dont love us. We have no right to kill a person for God is only the most powerful and who give us life and created us.We are not perfect but we nust accept it.

for me! Im not happy because she killed her mother, she did not respect her mother and give love. We can say that love your mother as you love your self. Our mother sacrificed for nine months just to deliver me into this world.
catherine T.
this story cannot bring good to me because she did not love her mother that's why she killed her mother. She did not respect her mother,we say that " love your mother as you love your self". Our mother sacrificed for nine months just to deliver in this world,but she return just to her mother without realizing the sacrificed spent of her mother.

when i read tha whole story i can't beleived what the girl done to her mother just for the seek of what she wants. She did not realizes how much her mother cares for her and loved her so much,but regret will come out in the end.
One of the most important person of our life is the one who give us life and it is our mother. We dont have the right to get them out of the world because they are the one make us alive and they are the one who care on us since birth. Whatever our mother had done to us,still they have the right do it. Wether we like it or not they are still our mother forever..so love your mother than anyone else.

The story is so sad and such a random situation. There is no such thing important in our life aside from our parents and we should love them. But on this story, it is so iritating for us,as a readers because the daughter did killing her own mother and it such a stupid thing to did cause parents should be love and care, whoever and whatever they are.

The news was really terrible... I cant believe she killed her own mother... maybe there's something wrong with her because even how bad your mother is, still you will accept and love her for being your mother, she is the one who gave you life and cared for you when you are still a baby...maybe the girl lacks love and affection from her family that's why she did that... but what she just did is unforgivable...e
