Boy, 12, kills man who attacked his mom - Yahoo! News

this news is from 2006:

FORT WASHINGTON, Md. (AP) - A year after being set on fire by her estranged husband, survivor Yvette Cade is joining a program to fight domestic violence through churches across the region.

Project Safe Sunday is in its fourth year of an effort to involve clergy in encouraging victims to report abuse and leave violent homes. The program, founded by Debra Williams in 2003 after she lost her sister in a domestic violence slaying, also urges abusers to seek help.

"One year later, I am here as a witness, a survivor and a soldier on the battlefield for Christ," Cade, 33, told a congregation of more than 300 on Sunday at Fort Foote Baptist Church. "Stop the domestic violence. Please."

Cade was attacked in September 2005, three weeks after a judge dismissed a protective order against her estranged husband, Roger B. Hargrave. She suffered severe burns to her face, neck and torso when Hargrave doused her with gasoline at the store where she worked in Clinton. Hargrave was convicted of attempted murder and sentenced to life in prison.

Prince George's County has had the highest number of domestic violence cases in Maryland for the past five years, according to statistics from the Maryland Network Against Domestic Violence. Last year, the 5,085 cases from Prince George's County accounted for more than 21 percent of the state's domestic violence cases.Burn Victim Fights Domestic Violence Through Churches

So what exactly is in the water down there, why is this county always reporting such high domestic violence.


Poor lil boy. This must be traumatic for him.
I hope they are not too harsh on him, after all he was protecting his mom.
Its just unfortunate it turned tragic like this.
