16 YEAR OLD GIRL ATTACKED WITH A BASEBALL BAT AND STABBED
Teen girl gravely injured in Far South Side attack (UPDATED STORY)
A 16-year-old Far South Side girl authorities said was attacked by baseball bat and knife-wielding females as she sat in her sister's parked car Saturday afternoon is expected to survive a serious stab wound to her back.
Andrea Thomas, 16, was saved by surgeons at Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn after being stabbed in the back on the 10200 block of South Carpenter Street about 2:30 p.m., a Chicago police source said.
Family members said Thomas was with her older sister, Teresa, two blocks from home in a Chevrolet Malibu, when she was attacked in a dispute stemming from a prior romantic relationship of her sister's.
"It didn't have anything to do with her," said Thomas' uncle, Samuel Philson. "She never had trouble with anybody and we don't know why they'd stab her."
Three females, one of them a woman in her 20s, smashed the parked car with baseball bats, the police source said. When Thomas, who attends Carver Military Academy, got out of the car to confront them, she was beaten and stabbed in the back, the source said. One of the females was in police custody, the source added.
Detectives searched for evidence around the battered Malibu, which had a shattered windshield and rear window.
Philson said the stab wound cut one of Thomas's arteries.
Ricky Thomas, 17, said his sister is a good student who loves basketball and dances in a crew called "Paranoia."
"They say she's gonna make it," he said, "I was real scared she wouldn't." http://www.chicagobreakingnews.com/

MAN CAUSES EX-GIRLFRIEND TO LOSE SIGHT IN RIGHT EYE (this is very gruesome)
CINCINNATI -- Police arrested a man accused of causing a woman to lose her eye during a fight early Thursday at a downtown restaurant.
Mark Teremi More
Officers said Mark Teremi threw a cocktail glass at his ex-girlfriend during an altercation around 1:50 a.m. at Bootsy's, and the glass shattered, causing serious facial injuries and seriously injuring one of her eyeballs.
A witness said the woman, identified as Erin Callen, initially believed she had a bloody nose and went into a restroom, where she discovered the injury to her right eye.
The glass also injured her right eyelid and the bridge of her nose.
A police officer told News 5 he had never seen anything like what happened despite many years on the force.
Callen's father told News 5 that his daughter had permanently lost sight in the injured eye, and she would undergo emergency surgery to remove the injured eyeball in hopes of saving it and preventing damage to the sight in her other eye.

The 27-year-old Teremi was charged with felonious assault and taken into police custody, where he remains on $250,000 bond.http://www.wlwt.com

MAN CHASES HIS WIFE AND TWO YOUNG SONS
A man chased his wife and two young sons down a Paterson, N.J., street Saturday, shooting them and killing one of the boys before he was fatally shot by an off-duty cop, police and witnesses said.
The gunfire erupted about 9a.m. when Edelmiro Gonzalez, 54, approached his wife, Johanna Gonzalez, 31 - whom he had been separated from for three years - at her mother's home, where she had just dropped off their kids, said Paterson Police Detective Ron Humphrey, according to The Record of Bergen County.
The father shot their 7-year-old son, Adrian, and chased his other son, Edryn, 11, down the driveway and shot him in the neck, Humphrey said.
After shooting the boys, Gonzalez turned to his wife and chased her down Madison St., where he shot her once in the shoulder, said Humphrey.
An off-duty officer, Lt. Washington Griffin, was picking up breakfast with his own young son at a nearby McDonald's drive-thru when he heard "multiple shots" and confronted Gonzalez, police and witnesses said.
Griffin identified himself as an officer and told Gonzalez to put down the gun, cops and witnesses said.
"He told him to stop," Will Hayes told The Record. "The guy didn't, and that's when he shot him."
Griffin fired twice, hitting Gonzalez in the head and in his right leg, Humphrey said.
Cops found two pistols on Gonzalez, a .45 and a smaller caliber gun, Humphrey said.
Gonzalez was taken to the hospital and later pronounced dead, police said.
His wife and his older son, Edryn, were hospitalized in critical condition. Adrian was pronounced dead at the scene, police said.
Some neighbors who witnessed the grisly shooting rushed to help.
Michael Espinosa and his wife, Loretta, heard the shots and saw one boy facedown on the pavement and the other boy with blood gushing from his neck, the couple said.
"When we saw the two children, we weren't ready for that," Michael Espinosa told The Record.
The couple ran toward the wounded children with paper towels, putting pressure on the older brother's neck wound, Espinosa said.
"Not the kids," Espinosa said. "I'll never get over the kids.

THE AFTER MATH OF CHILDHOOD SEXUAL ABUSE (by Dennis Thompson Jr.)
People who were sexually abused as children may have issues with sexual dysfunction and self-destructive behavior when they get older.
Sexual abuse leaves many scars, creating feelings of guilt, anger, and fear that haunt survivors throughout their lives. Adults who have undergone sexual abuse as children commonly experience depression and insomnia. High levels of anxiety in these adults can result in self-destructive behaviors, such as alcoholism or drug abuse, anxiety attacks, and situation-specific anxiety disorders.
The damage extends to the sexual abuse survivor's sense of their own sexuality. Many survivors also have trouble pursuing adult relationships and enjoying sex as an adult. The abuse can color a person's sexuality, preventing the survivor from pursuing a healthy sex life with a loving partner.
Sexual Abuse and Sexual Behaviors
In general, childhood sexual abuse survivors tend to either pursue sex recklessly as adults or to forgo sex completely, says Stephen L. Braveman, MA, a licensed marriage and family therapist in Monterey, Calif., and the western regional representative of the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors, and Therapists. "They typically wind up with splitting behavior, where things become very black and white," he says. "Either they are very sexually active, or they shut down sexually." www.everydayhealth.com

Sweet Dreams 4
I remember back in June of 94,I was married to my 2nd abusive husband and pregnant with my now 14 year old son.Nicole Brown Simpson had been murdered.This sent a real chill down my spine.I can remember thinking,now her kids are left without a mother..But,I still remained in my abusive marriage for a little while longer.However,I did separate from him before my son was born.Of course this was not our first seperation.....ya,know the victim most always goes back to her abuser..You know the drill...'I'M Sorry' it won't happen again...Anyway on to Clue #3 CONTROLLING BEHAVIOR...The abuser wants to know your every move...if you arrive home late from an appointment or work,the abuser will become angry and accuse you of seeing someone else.The abuser at this point is very irrational.Trying to defend your actions or trying to reason with the abuser at this point can be very exhausting, to say the least.The abuser will want to control everything from what you wear,to where you go, to whom you talk too.Are you starting to wake up?Well,THERE'S EVEN MORE...AND IT GETS MORE SERIOUS AS WE GO ALONG...
SWEET DREAMS-THREE'S A CROWD
I can remember having the very misguided feeling of being special and ooh so loved,because my husband was so insanely jealous.I was foolish and naive enough to think that this was cute.I was 17,the first time I got married...of course,it was against my adopted parents better judgement.But,you already know...that of course, I did not listen to them.So many women feel unrealistically flattered by the potential abusers jealousy.WAKE UP! You are headed in a DANGER ZONE! I must also mention that,I have suffered from depression my whole life..So,of course this added to my insecurities and acceptance of allowing myself to be a victim time and time again for years..I must say when my 21 yr. old daughter started dating her soon to be abuser..I could do something that,I could not do each time I met one of my future abusers..It was if I had some kind of a built in radar..something that I did not have concerning my abusive relationships.He may as well have been wearing a label because I could see right through him.He absolutely,terrified me.I tried over and over again to warn my daughter to no avail.She stayed in the relationship.I could tell exactly when she was starting to see the REAL person that she too quickly became involved with..Which brings me to #2)QUICK INVOLVEMENT! That Worldwind Wanna Be Romance.The potential abuser comes on strong "You are the only one for me" or "you are the only person that I can trust or talk to"..Many abusers propose in less than six months.Potential abusers will often put pressure on their victims for commitment...to the point that the victim may feel guilty if they want to slow down the relationship.This is yet another important clue..PAY ATTENTION! If these two very important clues are not enough Believe me THERE ARE MORE!

Sweet Dreams Too
First,I would like to say the feelings of hopelessness and just sheer low self esteem can cause a woman to feel so worthless,that she feels somehow it is her fault that her partner is abusive to her.These feelings are Totally Untrue.Please,Please do not listen to these negative feelings.If you have a trusted family member or friend..Please confide in them and let them be a strong source of support.You CAN NOT CHANGE HIM! You are waisting valuable time,if you try.I know that I felt for years, like it was my fault..I thought 'It must be my fault,if I keep attracting these kinds of guys".If you do not have a friend or family member,talk to your family doctor.If this is not an option call 1-800-559-safe.I know that a lot of women stay in the relationship because of finances and their children or both.Especially today,in these hard economic times.It can be difficult.But,your life is priceless..just remember that.If you have young children,they desperately need you.For those of you that would like to know what to look for, as far as WARNING SIGNS..TO VIOLENT ABUSIVE BEHAVIOR..# 1)EXTREME JEALOUSY! He will tell you especially in the beginning of your relationship,that his jealousy is because he loves you so much..you are the best thing that has ever happened to him.He doesn't want lose you.WATCH OUT!
SWEET DREAMS (The beginning of this blog)
This blog is dedicated to women survivors of domestic violence.I was a victim of domestic violence for years.It is behind me now but,it recently touched my 21 year old daughter's life.All of the signs were there and I saw them and I desperately tried to warn her about them.But,of course she would not listen to me.Her ex-boyfriend recently set our house on fire as we were sleeping.The Lord awoke my daughter in time for her to alert us all(my husband & my two teenaged sons)we were able to escape without harm and our house was not very badly damaged.I have since installed a home security system.We all are still terrified because he was never arrested for the aggravated arson.The police did not have prove that he did it.Even though he posted a photo of himself,posing with a lighter burning,on a social network.My daughter has a 2yr. protection order against him.He violated it with telephone calls,he was arrested for this and he does have to go to court for it.In my blog I will list telltale signs of a potentially abusive person.I hope that I can help someone out there avoid becoming a victim of domestic violence.
MANHUNT IN PEORIA (published ALLVOICES) by me win59
On Tuesday Morning November 16th,my husband and I awoke to the startling news of two inmates escaping from the Peoria County Jail sometime between Monday 8:00pm and Tuesday 6:30am. James Fuller 44 and Aaron Cook 28 had managed to escape from the roof.The two had tied sheets together to lower themselves from the rooftop of the jail.(it was like something out of a movie) Fuller had been digging his escape thru the roof for well over a year.Aaron Cook had been in jail since March for breaking the arm of a 3 year old girl.James Fuller an unemployed felon,already convicted of armed robbery and rape was accused of attacking the same woman twice(I & my husband remember reading about the attack in our local newspaper)He is described as a very scary character.Police warned the public that Fuller is to be CONSIDERED DANGEROUS.But,what really made this very scary for me personally,was the fact that he was tracked down to the very neighborhood in which I live.Aaron Cook was captured several hours after the two escaped.He was found hiding in the basement of a residence and two people were arrested for obstructing justice.But,Fuller was still at large.Just blocks away,Fuller broke into a resident's home,tied him up and robbed him,taking a vehicle and a cell phone.Around 7:00 pm he reportedly left the stolen vehicle in a High School parking lot(he was in my area now).The police tracked the cell phone to an area that is like 2 blocks from my house! I was a paranoid mess and I can imagine the fear his victims must have felt upon the news of his escape.He was out there somewhere the entire night.Police finally captured him in a vacant house,where he reportedly surrendered without a struggle(he had left my area).It is reported that Serial Rapist James Fuller 6'3 and 225 lbs. was a patient at Zellers Mental Health Center(now closed down) 20 years ago,when he overpowered a worker and escaped(he was 24 yrs. old) he was at large for 5 days.He was a sixteen year old basketball star when he was first charged with rape,it is reported.But,thanks to the Peoria Police Department and local authority's James Fuller Serial Rapist and Man Of Terror is back behind bars!
