Question

i seriously need your help. i dont care who you are.

i just found out that one of my friends has had a very hard past.

his parents were chopped up by someone with an ax in their own home in the middle of the night.

my friend was 8 years old and walked in in the morning. he saw what they looked like chopped up.

i dont know very much about this.. but i want to read an article about it.

HELP ME FIND ONE PLEASE.

here's what i know:

they weren't living in america at the time.

it was on a saturday night.

my friend is now 14.. so this happened in 2002 or so.

i know that my friend has 2 little sisters and 1 older sister.

their last name is staley. (im almost positive)

please help me.!

and dont leave crude and sarcastic comments. this is for real.

ps: i also know for sure that they have no idea who it was that chopped them up. they are still trying to figure that out. but because it didnt happen in USA its kinda hard.

my friend's family are the nicest people i know. im dead serious. they are so kind and funny and charming. i dont know why anyone would do this.

Answer 1

look it up on the internet.

and let your friend know that you know.  

Answer 2

I would search on google using keywords like "2002" "murdered" "axe" "staley"

Good luck.

If you can't find anything ask your friend if they have the newspaper artical.

Answer 3

After you settle down, google everything you can put together about this, then later, gently ask your friend when the time is right.

I have friends with tragic things in their pasts.  The thing to do is be a true friend to them now.  Their job is to make a good life now, and so do not be afraid or treat them strangely.  Just be a friend to them, and be as natural as possible.  If you are natural, the story may come out, but please remember it is not really your business.  If your friend eventually wants to share it, you will learn more.

Through this, you may learn what it is to be a friend in the truest sense...

Answer 4

If you know the city/country that it happened in, google their local newspaper, maybe it was on the news. If your friend is opening to talking about maybe they will tell you the details but it also may still be very hard on them and they don't want ppl to know what had happened to their parents. It's a very private and personal decision to tell someone something like that. Give them time and get to know them really well before searching for everything that happened. They have their reasons for not talking about and don't ever force them to, you might lose a friendship over it if you push it.

Answer 5

Wow...oh man I hope this isn't real, just for the sake of your friends. That's awful.

I don't have an article for you, but I may be able to help your emotions a little bit...

First.

Take a nice, deep, breath, and calm down. This happened some years ago, so there really isn't anything you can do about that part. And that is okay.

All right, so don't treat your friends differently in obvious ways. With things like this, it's best to just be considerate and not go off talking about ax murders and bloody deaths and all. You know, just be nice, but not all sympathetic and stuff. Be there for them when they need it.

Just breathe. What happened has happened, and it'll all be okay now.

(For your article, look up on Google or something with all the relating words you know: Staley, 2002, axe murder...try to find out specifics, like the complete date, country etc.)

Answer 6

What good is knowing?
