A Sheboygan, Wis. man has been accused of stomping a pet tropical fish to death.

The fish stomping occurred during a dispute with his girlfriend. Anastacio Molina Jr, 40, now faces charges of disorderly conduct and criminal damage to property. Hmmm no animal cruelty?

A call came into the police station at about 5:30 pm Tuesday stating that Molina was destroying the house. This was the second time that the police had been to the house that day. Five hours earlier they’d arrived as a result of verbal dispute that occurred when Molina ordered his girlfriend to move out of the home.

Upon arrival at the house, the remains of the pet fish, an Oscar, were on the sidewalk. The 12 year old son of Molina’s girlfriend had told police that Molina had taken it out of it’s tank and stomped it to death. He then went on to break a stereo and a picture window.

Molina had a prior conviction for child abuse so these misdemenor charges have penalty enhancers added to them. he could face up to four years in prison and a possible $11,000 in fines.

It seems that we keep hearing more and more often about people having problems with drugs, alcohol and even Pain Killer Addiction, don’t we? I don’t know if the problem is becoming worse, or if people are just being more open about the fact that they have a problem and the fact that they’ve gone to rehab to get help.

What do you think?

Certainly the stars seem to be more open about going to rehab these days!

If you, or someone that you know, has a problem with alcohol, drugs or appears to be addicted to pain killers you might want to visit the Sunset Malibu rehab facility.

The residential alcohol rehab and drug treatment center is located just outside of Los Angeles. The facility specializes in substance abuse treatments, alcohol detox, and pain killer treatment, as well as combination problems including eating disorders and depression.

Sunset Malibu is a well known treatment center where those in need of treatment for addiction problems can go and stay in a lovely private location.

Visit the website to get more information about their traditional and non-traditional treatment methods, and to view photos of the accommodations and facilities.

If you’ve discovered that your child has problems with drugs, alcohol or troubling behavioral problems, or if someone you know has a child that fits that description you might be interested in visiting the Echo Malibu website where they have a teen drug rehab program.

It’s administered by well educated and trained staff who care about improving the lives of the kids in their care.

I wouldn’t want to have to put my child in a rehab facility but if he had a problem that could be treated I would certainly want to help him. Please visit the Echo Malibu site if you are struggling with a decision to help a troubled adolescent.

A Bulgarian woman who killed her son was released from prison because of terminal cancer. She then went home and killed her husband.

The woman had been sentenced to 15 years in jail for killing her 29-year-old son with a garden hoe in April 2005 while he was sleeping. However, last month, authorities judging her to be in the final stages of cancer let her go home to pass away in peace with her husband at her side. Unfortunately things must have gone terribly wrong once she was home because that was where she stabbed her husband in the throat with a knife.

“It was established she was in the last stage of cancer, she had it all over her body,” said a spokeswoman for the Bourgas regional police. They had presumed she was feeling bad and that she would treat herself and rest. Little did they know that she would become aggressive and end up killing her husband.

The woman, 57 years of age at the time of her second murder, was from a village in eastern Bulgaria and she has been taken into custody again and is awaiting a new trial.

Even in jail her aggression towards her family continues, she’s threatened that, if she is released again, she will kill her second son as well.

I kind of feel sorry for the woman. I know that cancer can change a persons personality, particularly when it affects the brain, but I bet there were some deep seated feelings of hurt and resentment that set off her murdering spree. Perhaps she’d been an abused wife and mother before becoming ill with cancer?
