Seven-year-old Kathleen Edwards had recently lost her mother to Huntington's Disease, a disease that slowly takes over control of the body and the mind.
Kathleen now has it, too.
Kathleen also had recently begun being cyber-bullied by a 33-year old neighbor, Jennifer Petkov.
Petkov addmitted to Detriot News Reporters that she had added several harmful pictures to her Facebook page. One showed Kathleen with her eyes closed and tounge hanging out with a pair of crossbones beneath it.
Another photo showed Kathleens mother, being cradeled by the Grim Reaper.
When Petkov was asked why she did such a thing, she responded, "Personal satisfaction."
On Halloween, Petkov and her husband decorated their pick-up truck as a hearse with a coffin strapped to the top. They intentionally drove back and forth past the Edwards home that night so they would see.
Petkov and her husband made a public apology for their doings and removed the decorations from their pick-up.
The Edward family now has a restraining order against the Petkovs and are receiving a lot of care through family and friends on behalf of their daughters disease without a cure and the loss of their mother/wife.
