Laurel Bay Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 Doesn't matter about family background, it comes down to a choice. Some learn by example, but still they know it is wrong. Some do out of just plain meaness. Regardless, something very wrong with people who want to do wrong, and derive pleasure from it. Link to post Share on other sites

PauldingPeach Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 This is just horrible! I hope that these people are caught soon and severely punished. They all need to be charged with attempted murder, including the girl! If he dies, heaven forbid, they should all be charged with murder with the harshest of punishments. Every single one of them. Many prayers go out to the family and friends of this young man. I almost lost my child once, I know how difficult it is to watch your child lay there helpless and fighting for their life because of someone elses stupidity. Link to post Share on other sites

Jonger Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 (edited) I know Donald's mom and grandma. I've also met Donald (AKA Shakey) a few times in the past. His grandma told me about what all happened earlier. She said that they took him off his ventilator yesterday. She said that he was in and out of consciousness, but he seemd to recognize them. They don't really know how he's going to be at this point. She was also a little upset that those pictures of him in his hospital bed were leaked to Fox5. Keep him and his family in your thoughts.

That is interesting that she is upset that those pics were shown. If i listened to the report online correctly they said that those pics were shared by the fam. I totally understand why she is upset but crazy how stuff gets turned around. I have totally been torn up about this for the past couple of days. Everyone involved has been in my prayers. Please keep us posted with Donald's state of health. Let me know if I can be of any help. Link to post Share on other sites

I recorded that segment of the news, let me look at it again! I think... wait.... it said "The Family shared these photos" so who was the one at the Hospital with the camera and you will know who "LEAKED" the photos. I hope he is going to be OK.

Not much signs of improvement but every little step helps. Maybe he will have some recollection of what happened and be able to give some leads to those sick bas****s.

Catch22 Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 I just wonder How the Police knew he was there?? What was the Police doing there, if they did not know already, that he was there? You understand what I'm saying?? I have asked this question a couple of times already and no one seems to understand what I'm saying. I'm just amazed that he was found before a train came through, The Good Lord was with him this time!! Link to post Share on other sites
TMKONA29M Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 (edited) Someone must have gotten scared and called the police. The way I see it they all better be getting scared right about now.

She told me that the other grandma is the one who gave them the photos. The grandma I know and Donald's mom didn't know anything about it. They didn't like that she did it without at least talking to his mom first. I just wonder How the Police knew he was there?? What was the Police doing there, if they did not know already, that he was there? From what I understood, the operator of a passing train saw his body and called the police. They're lucky that they saw him or he could have been there much longer. Edited March 14, 2007 by Jonger Link to post Share on other sites
flowers in bloom Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 The family members who shared the story and pictures, thought they were doing the right thing, to gain attention to the story, and maybe someone would come forward and say they saw something. The mother was notified that the news had been called. I think it was a good idea in many ways, the more prayers, and the more support from people, the better. The more people know at this point, with some exceptions, the better. These who did this crime, will talk, and somone will listen, and seeing Donald, on tv news just might be enough for them to be convicted enough to come forward. Link to post Share on other sites

Purple Rider Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 My thoughts and prayers go out to this family. The things that people will do because of the opposite sex has always boggled my mind! Things like this have been going on forever The girl is is an assessory before the fact. They should nab the girl, put her in jail and "pressure" her into giving names and locations of the others involved. When they are caught, the judge should make the bond sooooooooooo high that it's almost impossible to bond out or better yet...not give them bond because they "may be flight risk". Also, if there is a group or "gang" of kids running around Paulding County beating people up the police need to be given the names of these people to get them off the streets .

critty Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 I was told this morning that he (Donald "Shakey") is awake. I assume they will be checking in the next day or two to discover what extent his injuries are and how they have affected him. Please continue to pray. I will be visiting the hospital tomorrow and taking the donations to the family.\ Link to post Share on other sites
izabellazmom Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 Critty~ Are you still collecting? About what time and where will you be tonight to meet people? Glad to hear that Donald is conscious and that he maybe heading to the road of recovery. Any news on the sickos that did this horrible crime? What will it have to take to get the people that they think did this in custody? I am a little confused on this because nothing has been said. Not even that the girl is in custody or being investigated. If any one knows anything and can post without invading on the families privacy please do. Still praying for all involved.
