🚨HEARTBREAKING💔
Parents, raise your children well, especially your sons. Do not normalize violence in the home. Many ab*sive behaviors are learned from what children see and experience while growing up.
This tragedy in North Carolina is a painful reminder.
Lester Jones, 47, rushed to help his 16-year-old daughter after she was allegedly being assaulted by her 17-year-old boyfriend, Keshaun Degraffenreid, around 12:29 a.m. According to police, the teenager had already assaulted and sh*t the girl before Jones arrived.
A father did what many parents would do, he stepped in to protect his child. In the process, he was sh*t multiple times and killed. His daughter survived but was left physically injured and emotionally traumatized.
Now, a family is grieving the loss of a father, while a young girl faces a long road to recovery. A 17-year-old is also facing adult charges, including first-degree m*rder.
A father made the ultimate sacrifice trying to protect his daughter. One act of violence changed multiple lives forever.
