So back in September a young girl at the age of 15 was brutally beaten in a suburb park in broad daylight. Literally 1:00pm. Laura Szendrei was the young and beautiful teenage girls name. As a shock to the community in our small town many people stopped and paid their respects to the memorial outside the park. So personally not knowing the young lady however having many friends on facebook in common I though that I should pay my respects because no parent should have to burry their own child especially at such a young age the young teen, Laura did not get to expirience much out of life.
My friend Jessica, or as I refer to her as "jimmy" said when she heard about the brutal beating of the young teen "what a waste of raising a child." now some people think thats a little harsh to say however I couldnt agree with her much more. As a young mother myself I would be appauled and disgusted knowing this had happened to my child. Not to mention it was only a few weeks into the school year so her parents unfortunately spent money on new clothes and school supplies. Regardless you can not put a price on love or your childeren.
The young teen was a sports player I heard she played soccer. That can be an expensive sport, so for someone to take the young girls life is just dispicable.
I was so sure that this case was going to turn into a "cold case file" but like I said we live in a small suburb. So with the amount of tips that were sent out and the dedication of her parents and the community but lets not forget the most important people who dedicated their time, The North Delta police department the person that killed her was arrested on February 22nd 2010. When I heard that I was so happy for her parents to have some sort of closure. However at what cost? Knowing the killer isnt going to bring their beloved daughter back. It will never fufill the empty hole in their heart that is not coming home to seeing their daughters smile, or going to her game, seeing her report card and finally finish raising their child.
I was personally shocked when I found out the person who killed her was my age, I was even more shocked to know he went to my school and way more shocked to know he was the kid that sat in my grade nine or 10 english class I dont really remember. The kid that I graduated with.
Now in my opinion the young man who was little and looked like a pretty decent kid had done something like this, now I am not one to judge others because I too myself am not perfect but I think that this kid can never make up for what he has done. He can never make his life better and he deserves to deal with this heavy burden hannging over him the rest of his life.
They are saying that he was a juvenile at the time so his name can not be released and I respect that however he had a late birthday and anyone with morals knows that killing someone or even if on accident beating up someone and a girl by the way is just wrong. Morally wrong.
I write this blog to let the public know, not that I am a big name blogger that this tragedy that has been put upon my town and the Szendrei family has been solved and to always remember these words to live by, "you cant judge a book by its cover" and one of my own phrases I just made up right now "The person may be caught, but that wont bring back the emptyness their family and friends will have forever in their hearts"
I would like to extend my sarrow to the Szendrei family for all that they have had to go through since the fall, and my heart and sympathy are with you.
love kristy xox
