Girl, 17, charged in stabbing death of boyfriend

MOUNT VERNON - A pregnant teen girl is accused of stabbing and killing her boyfriend at a home on S. Columbus Avenue yesterday, police said.

Brittany Myers, 17, of White Plains has been charged with felony first-degree manslaughter in the death of her longtime boyfriend, Tiquan Maddox, 23, of Millington Street in Mount Vernon, Police Commissioner David Chong said.

Police responded to 275 S. Columbus Ave. around 6:30 last night.

"They found a male on the living room floor suffering from a single stab wound to the upper chest," Chong said. Maddox was taken to Mount Vernon Hospital, where he later died.

Chong said Myers is five months pregnant with his child and may be a runaway from a group home in White Plains.

"It appears to be a tragic, tragic example of domestic violence," Chong said.

Police are still investigating the events that led up to the stabbing, and they believe they have recovered the kitchen knife used in the attack.

My Two Cents-

When I was a teenager... stuff like this just didn't happen!

Why are children killing.. being killed... abusing and being abused by the thousands today?

Things that make you go hmmm ...

All I can say .. is that in my opinion... our government got involved and decided how parents were to raise their children.. they decided that if you gave your kid a slap on the rear you were an abusive parent..

Then they decided to diagnose "childhood" with all kinds of letters and labels.. so now our children just.. growing up ..doing what we did.. as our grandparents did .. is now some kind of mental disease and needs to be treated with some drug or another..

Alternatively.. the good people from child services (tongue in cheek) decide the child needs to be removed from the home... god help the parent that can't afford a steak dinner every nite.. or one who leaves a cup in the sink!!

Well good people of America.. wake up ... this is the result of our Government watching over us raising our children.... if you don't believe me .. take a look at this blogs past posts then think.. was it like this when you grew up? Then think.. hmmm what's the difference.. then follow the money .. straight to Title IV Federal funding!
