Valerie,

25 years old is no kid, this is an adult male. Not sure what happened but a kid not even close.

No need to be insensitive about it. What she meant is that he was very young.

Valerie I understand what you were trying to communicate in your memory of Richard. My baby is older than him so I can see someone who is much older seeing him as a kid. His life was taken as he was just beginning to live it. My condolences to the loved ones of Richard Ramirez, I pray that God will give you peace during this time.

I have a son Richard's age, facts are important but with that said the loss of a child yes a CHILD is devastating. My prayers are with the family, may God bring you the strength and watch over all of you in your time of need.

The reality of living in a hateful world. Not a good area to raise a family. There are so many tools out there without a life wanting to take someone's elses and the worst part..they come dime a dozen.
