Christine Belford was shot dead in a Delaware courthouse by her former father-in-law, Thomas Matusiewicz. David Matusiewicz, Belford’s ex-husband and father of their three children, had previously had his parental rights terminated after kidnapping the children and taking them to Nicaragua.

Documents hint at wider conspiracy in Delaware courthouse shooting, on Philly.com.

    Margo, I am so sorry you are in this situation. Unfortunately, DNA does have a great deal to do with sociopathy and s does environment and seems like your son got a double whammy.

    I too have a psychopathic son, who is in prison for murder and by age 15 (puberty) he was already starting too be dangerous, by 20 he was iin prison for murder.

    I don’t think you are bad or crazy for considering giving up custody of your 13 yr old to protect your younger son, your husband and yourself. It sounds to me like you have considered this with a reasonable head.

    You’ve found a wonderful resource here at LoveFraud, there are quite a few of us here who have psychopathic offspring that we have had to distance ourselves from, you ARE NOT ALONE.

    Again, welcome to Love Fraud. God bless.

    Margo12, I am sorry to read of your experiences and you found a great place of knowledge, learning, and recovery.

    My eldest son was diagnosed Borderline Personality Disorder Cluster B and is a sociopath. OxD is spot-on that genetics can play a role in how someone pans out. You DO sound as if you’ve given serious and pragmatic thought to your safety, your 5-year-old’s safety, and that of your husband. It is not an “easy” choice to distance ouselves from a disordered child, but it can be done without anger.

    Welcome to LoveFraud, and I encourage you to keep reading, keep posting, and base your decisions upon what will be best for you, your family, and your eldest son.

    Brightest blessings

    Pray for my Grandchildren love fraud friends. This just terrified me reading this so glad you survived this horrible ordeal Imtmr74, I am glad you are starting to deal with all of this. No contact is the best for sure.
    Margo12,
    I think it is for the best too for all of you to let your husband have custody. As hard as it will be on you it will probably be a lot safer.

    Well, here is another child given to an ex convict father who murdered him, in spite of the mother telling the court the father was a violent man.

    Judge ordered father to keep custody of his sons just 4 months before ‘he killed his 9-year-old with a hatchet’

    A judge ruled a father should keep custody of his two sons just four months before the man killed one of the boys with a hatchet as he slept on the couch, it has emerged.

    Phillip Raymond Hernandez, 36, was arrested on Tuesday night after allegedly murdering his nine-year-old son, Matthew Hernandez, as the boy’s great-grandmother looked on helplessly.

    The horrific killing at the family’s home in South Natomas, California came just four months after a judge ruled the boys should stay in his custody as their mother battled to have them back.

    Hernandez was granted custody of the Matthew and his now-12-year-old brother in 2009 despite a startling history of violence and arrests and their mother claiming he was a dangerous man.

    Confession: Sandra Inman told police is was her idea to lure her daughter-in-law into a car

    Plot: Sandra Inman said it was her idea to lure her daughter-in-law into a car where she was killed

    A newly unsealed confession reveals a woman told authorities she helped hide the body of her son’s estranged wife in a septic tank after he accidentally strangled her to death with zip-ties.

    Sandra Inman, 47, who was sentenced to at least 15 years in prison for her part in the killing of 25-year-old Summer Inman in Logan, Ohio, made the confession to an investigator in 2011.

    She claimed that she wanted to see her three grandchildren more so she and her husband and son forced her daughter-in-law into a car to discuss the issue.

    When Liane Leedom put up the article about Dr. Amy Castillo’s warning the judge her x would kill the kids, and he DID kill the children on the first unsupervised visit just to SPITE his x wife, I thought “oh, that must be so RARE” but it isn’t really “rate” it is inn fact fairly common if you watch the news for such events. Breaks my heart too. We must have CHILDREN’s RIGHTS not parents “rights”
