Re: “Hear My Plea”
I personally know the Jaroscak family very well and feel like it is completely unfair to judge this situation without knowing the other side to the story. It states in the article that Kareena had a "crush" on Matt Jaroscak. Some teeange girls become obsessed with their crushes. Couldn't it be possible that she made up the "abuse" just to get attention? Matt was called back from his mission to do a paternity test when it was never stated that he had intercourse with her. As a woman, I have to ask myself how you could not know you had sex? Even if you are very niave and come from a very conservative background, you have to know when something like that is happening. It's only my opinon, but it sounds to me like she had sex with Mr. Smith and didn't want to tell her very conservative parents about the pregnancy. I know that neither Matt or David Jaroscak wtih ever do such a thing, even in their hormone-driven teenage years. Paul Jaroscak and his wife are some of the most kind, fair and open-minded individuals I have ever had the pleasure of coming in contact with. As are both Matt and David. Why Kareena and her parents continue to try to drag the Jaroscak family through the mud nearly 11 years later (since the allegded "abuse" began) is beyond me. Let it go and move on with your life! It was a pure tragedy that the poor baby died the way it did. I can understand how a 15 year old girl in her situation would have been very scared, but to not tell anyone about the birth utimately was her fault. I want the Jaroscak famiily to know that there are people out there that support them and stand behind them 100%. I know neither Matt or David are guilty of what they are accused of. It's just a shame that they are being blamed for the instability of this girl.
