Grandmother of Girl Taunted on Facebook Charged With Disorderly Conduct

After gaining national attention over the last two years including becoming the focus of an episode of Dr. Phil, a feud on Detroit Street in Trenton involving the grandmother of a recently deceased young girl and Jennifer Petkov has resurfaced.

After several months of quiet, the feud on Detroit Street has started up once again. Rebecca Rose, whose granddaughter became known across the country after being taunted on Facebook in 2010, was charged with disorderly conduct June 6. Kathleen Edward, Rose's granddaughter, died Jan. 11 after a long battle with Huntington's disease. Rose is charged with misdemeanor disorderly conduct after Jennifer Petkov complained to Trenton Police that Rose made a disparaging remark toward her on the afternoon of May 9. A pretrial is scheduled for Rose on July 5 and a jury trial is set for Aug. 17 at the 33rd District Court in Woodhaven. The feud has resurfaced several times since Detroit Street first became national news after Rose's neighbor, Jennifer…

Kathleen Edward Inspired People from Around the Nation

Grandmother thanks "everyone for their love and their support” after 9-year-old girl dies from complications of Huntington's disease.

A little girl whose story touched more people in two years than others have in a lifetime, Kathleen Kelly Jade Edward, died in Wyandotte due to complications of Huntington’s disease Wednesday, Jan. 11, 2012. She was 9 years old. Kathleen’s battle with Huntington’s disease inspired thousands of people who showered her with gifts, good wishes, vacations and prayers. Kathleen spent most of her life fighting the disease, making it difficult for her to be involved in sports. Instead, she enjoyed reading and listening to her iPod. “A friend bought her an iPod and she loved it,” Kathleen’s grandmother Rebecca Rose said. “She would just play songs for hours.” Born on Nov. 5, 2002 in Wyandotte, MI, Kathleen also liked riding her bike, when her …
