Family of Boy, 13, Wants Another Look at Death Investigation

Robert Taylor III, 13, was an eighth-grader at Bartow's Woodland Middle School when he was shot and killed in Cartersville in what police called an accidental shooting involving another boy, 14.

 

The family of a local boy killed a few days after Christmas two years ago is asking the Bartow County Sheriff's Office to take another look at what authorities determined was an accidental shooting.

Robert Harvell Taylor III, 13, then an eighth-grader at Bartow County Schools' Woodland Middle in Euharlee, died Dec. 29, 2010, at a friend's Freedom Drive home in Cartersville's Oakland Heights area, the Rome News-Tribune reported.

Sheriff Clark Millsap at the time said Taylor, whose family and friends described him as a quiet, sweet boy with a love of baseball, was killed as the result of an accidental gunshot involving another young boy, whose name was not released, according to the Atlanta-Journal Constitution.

"We believe this was an accidental shooting, as we have from Day 1," Sgt. Jonathan Rogers told Cartersville Patch. "In the investigating officer's opinion, no charges were warranted because there was no criminal intention."

Nearly two years after her son's death, Taylor's mother is requesting authorities re-open the case and investigate further. As a result, the district attorney's office in September lodged charges against the other boy, who was 14 at the time, but the case will be prosecuted in the juvenile court system, Rogers said.

"I want that boy to be charge[d] as an adult," Veronica Taylor told Cartersville Patch. "He made an adult decision to go and get that gun and he acted as an adult who knew and used guns and knew the consequences of pointing a gun in my son's face."

In an online petition, Veronica Taylor is gathering signatures to request local, state and federal authorities "fully investigate" her son's killing, which she says "could have been a crime of passion," and alleged "gross" negligence by the owner of the shotgun used in the shooting.

"The truth is there was a full investigation," Rogers said, adding that a group of law enforcement officials worked on the case, which is no longer under investigation by the sheriff's office.

But Taylor's mother isn't satisfied.

"I want the gun owner charged with negligent homicide...," she added. "We are living a nightmare.... We only want the truth about what happened the day our son was killed and we still do not know."

Rogers said investigators felt the circumstances of the case didn't meet the threshold for criminal negligence charges.

"We consider all the circumstances—if the kids are young, left by themselves with a gun in a common area, that would be totally negligent," he added. "We consider the age of the children. Every case is different."

I knew OF both families from various youth activities and I can't believe what I just read. Normally Brande/Patch is legit local reporting but this is uncalled for. I have kept an eye on this (Facebook/word of mouth/etc..) since the beginning and Patch is right about one thing: Something doesn't add up! There was some strange actions on the victim's family's side of things too.

The whole thing is just terrible for all involved and us as a community. I'm not trying to offend here and I 100% sympathize with Ms. Taylor but the WRONG thing to do is to turn this into a witch-hunt I think.

sugar valley cowboy. what strange actions are you talking about. A mother and Father who loved their son, who is now dead at the hands of another? One day they have a child the next day they don't and NOTHING was done about it!!! One day you have a son playing baseball the next day your picking out funeral clothes, casket and headstone and paying doctor bills all at the expence of the parents. Obviously you have never lost a child!!!! I have!!! I'll show you some strange behavior too!!!!

It was a terrible accident...but I know the other boy's family and I know it was an accident. I grieve for the death of the handsome young man. However, I can't help wondering, "What if your boy had held the weapon and been on the other end of this horrific event? Their pain wouldn't have caused them to try to ruin your lives. They are forgiving people. What good will you accomplish with the slandering you've done in Cartersville? Will your son return? Would he be proud of your crucifiction of his best friend? Are you trying to push the boy who's alive to suicide or will running a good family out of town be enough? The boy who's alive has been struggling to deal with his part in the death of his best friend. He suffers every day as do his parents and their parents. The investigators got it right the first time. It was an accident. Hating, slandering, stalking...all ungodly and unproductive, cancerous.

There is nothing wrong with wanting answers when a loved one dies unexpectedly. The family of the deceased 13 year old deserves another full investigation for full closure on this matter. Evidently something is not adding up or the family would not want further probing into the matter. And if nothing is amiss, then the family of the 14 year old, should agree and fully support an ongoing investigation. Robert Taylor's parents deserve whatever closure they need from this terrible tragedy.

I agree. But at what expense? We are talking about 2 kids here right? One of them had life taken from them too soon, but the other boy is also forced to live with it. I doubt this helps. Again, not slamming anybody here. It's disturbing to see a tragedy like this in the community where you live, but the facts are there were TWO tragedies...

2 tragedies....OMG! That boy has never told our family he was sorry for taking my son's life...HE LIVES while my son is 6 feet under! This is in no way a WITCH HUNT! There are many things that the public does not know about what happened that day...we didn't find evidence until months later and took it to the sheriff's office and they did nothing! You have no idea what you are talking about. I want JUSTICE for ROB...he did not deserve what is going on...I have evidence for EVERYTHING I SAY! Strange actions by my family? Well I guess you might think that not knowing the evidence that we have, also why don't you ask the other family why they refused to tell us what happend, in their words, the day my son was killed...yes...we are grieving...out of our minds with it at time...walk in my shoes for one day and you might just might get to know a little of what we deal with on a daily basis!

By the way wanting answers and a 2nd look isn't all she wants. Read the article again: she wants severe charges brought. THAT is what will give her peace? Give me a break! She deserves answers, no doubt, and EVERYONE should support that. But this all still sounds like a witch hunt against a kid that's 14. Get real folks.

One more thing, that boy is not 14 anymore....and my boy was 13, where is the sympathy for him? Now that he's gone you don't care about him!! Well he Existed, HE LIVED AND HIS LIFE WAS TAKEN AWAY BECAUSE OF STUPID THINGS GOING ON AND THAT BOY NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR HIS ACTIONS...

I agree: 2 tragedies. But let's add tradgedy number 3....threatening the family of the other boy; terrible threats. And spreading all sorts of untruths so that other people shun them and treat them all as lepers. Ms. Taylor, they're good people too. Your son knew that. I ask God to change your heart, to help nyou to heal and forgive. No conspiracy.....an awful, terrible accident. You stone them with your words.

PLEASE>> My son was also 13 and killed by his friend.. and guess what. the boy was charged with negligence homicide. they said that it should be this way in any case where as someone dies by the hand of someone else and it was not ment to happen.. like thsi, drunk drivers, ect...We won and we haven't sued the family... Have you lost a child???????????? Because if you did you would know MONEY will never bring back what you had.. Idiot.. just stating my opinion...Any ways and you do not have to win in a court to sue the home owners insurance.. if it happened on there land or house there insurance is responsible.. I kniw it has only been a yr since my son got killed and people all the time tell me to sue this person or that.. I don't want money.. we just wanted justice served..

I know little robs family, personally, and little rob was like one of my own, and for these folks that say she has other motives, other than justice for her son, should have shame on them. His sweet life was taken too soon, due to negligence, she deserves answers and closure, as anyone whose family member was killed. So until you all truly know the story, check yourselves, and your comments.

Wow. This is a public article with a comment section attached to it right?

Ms. Taylor, understand that I'm not attacking you. I just don't understand. I can't imagine what your going through and I wish for peace for you too. So it sounds like you are wanting the boy punished and that will give you peace. Right? If so what punishment is too little or too much? And yes, IMO there are 2 victims. Your son is by far the most heartbreaking victim. I'm not disputing that. The other boy was 14. Doesn't matter what he is now. 14 years old and going through all this. I can't imagine that either.

Kristy. Stop jumping on everyone. You're right, we don't know the "facts". Care to enlighten us ignorant people so we can stop guessing?

I am Mrs. Taylor! 14 years old and read his twitter page...doesn't seem to be going through much at all...he was at a party 2 weeks after he killed my son...he was asking his mother in front of me to go skiing with his girlfriend 4 or 5 days after my son was killed...sorry if I can't remember the exact day as I was out of my mind with grief, but I will never forget him asking that in front of me, and in a church! You don't know what is going on, I pray for that boy all the time! I pray God willl work on him to tell the truth about what happened! I pray for peace for us all! Don't make me look like you want, you know nothing about me or my family and how this has destroyed us all! Kristy....jump all you want...they get what they give!

This is what people should understand, kids don't think like us Adults. same with the boys who were with my son, when he was killed the one who shot him was in jail. and the other one who was there the day of his funeral asked his grandma if he could go hang out with his friends when he was done there. And this boy was only 13 he tried saving my son.. he did the CPR he called 911. and only a week later was good enough to go hang with his friends.. I still wake up to this nightmare and it was a yr ago...

If I couldn't get the truth from law enforcement and court, I couldn't say I wouldn't consider another court. Truth about what happened to your child is way more important than money. This mother has only stated she wants the truth to come out. I have not read any where that had indicated that she is going to sue. No dollar amount is worth the life of your child, but the truth as to what happened is worth taking it to any court you can. Their is never any peace after your child dies. NONE. If the mother finds out what really happened then maybe she can find some way to grieve. Prayers for answers, peace, strength, and comfort. C.F.

MRS Taylor, I knew OF the families from time out at the rec dept. actually, I only know of the two husbands since they coached. You're hearing me all wrong here. I 100% agree with Kell5's post. You need peace. I am simply trying to understand how it will come from this. I can't imagine being in your shoes but I doubt that anything they did to the boy (can't even remember his name honestly) would bring me peace.

GMF- you're post is what makes this sound like an angry mob. I get it. The boy did wrong. Just keep in mind that he was 14 and is still a minor. There's a right way and a wrong way to handle it. Labeling him as some murderer and saying that you don't see how he lives with himself is downright cruel and possibly illegal too. Act like an adult. Until there is a verdict we are still an "innocent until proven guilty country" right?

My nephew was shot and killed by his roomate 2 years ago. My family will never be the same and nothing brings comfort to the situation you just somehow manage to continue life but in a different way. It is a shame that the only representation a murder victim has is the DA who is also there to represent the murderer as well. You better believe that the DA is most concerned with no distroying the life of the boy who pulled the trigger. God be with the Taylor family.

@ Mrs. Taylor, I will pray for you every single day from now on. Your loss is unimaginable. I hope you get all the answers you seek but your peace is only going to come from God and that's why I'll pray for you and your family. I will pray for the other boy as well, because if he IS devastated by the results of his actions in your son losing his life, he needs prayer. And if he ISN'T devastated by the results of his actions in your son losing his life, he most definitely needs prayer. Much. But I straight-up absolutely understand you wanting justice for your son. That's the least the authorities can do...make sure you get it.

Ms. Taylor when my son was shot in the back of his head with a .22 rifle the cops said he did it to himself. there were 10 people there. Loaded guns sat by the back door of this home. the children 11-15 yrs. old were left unsupervised. My son got shot in the back of his head. The d.a. and cops refuse to charge anyone but my son and he got the death sentence. When I started getting publicity of my son's case. the parents of the child that I believe shot my son made up funny names like "sugarvalleycowboy" and commented on the articles. they did not know that I could click on the fake name and it brought me right to their facebook page. Do not let these comments get to you. Someone is REALLY trying to rattle your cage. Do not let them win. You have over 35,000 of us grieving mothers right by your side. We are praying for you and holding you up threw the worst grief anyone can suffer, the loss of our child!! God Bless You!!

The original post makes sense still though. Heard through the grapevine (Taylor's bought a house in my neighborhood) that the insurance company did pay them. The money is irrelevant. You all are right about that. But what means is that the insurance company settled due to finding no criminal action by either law enforcement or from their own investigation. I'm told by my friend at State Farm that the beneficiaries of that settlement are required to sign a release stating that they didn't dispute the findings and wouldn't go after the insurance company for more down the road. She tells me that this is a practice at all insurance companies nationwide and it's designed to protect themselves - understandable. Now I don't know what insurance company settled or anything like that, but I have heard that there was a settlement. Doesn't that mean that the Taylor's have already signed a legal document stating that they agreed with the insurance company's findings (and by default the law enforcement investigation's too since its part of the insurance company's investigation) that it was accidental? Why flip on that now? If they find that there was criminal activity wouldn't the insurance company take it back?

I'm a homeowner and this aspect of this story is one that I can relate to. Not debating their pain or anything like that! They deserve answers and eventually as much peace as they can have. Just wondering if anyone knows the answers to this for my own understanding. Thanks!

The insurance company paid ONLY so they wouldn't have to pay a larger sum of money if sued...documents are signed stating that IF wrong doing was found than the insurance company could not be sued for more money....had nothing to do with guilty or not...how can a case be closed in less than 24 hours and investigated fully?...the answer is..IT CAN'T

Donna- thanks for thinking my name is funny. Just happens to be the road I live on. Just so you know I don't really know that much about either family and haven't seen them since they played ball at the rec. Little Rob was one of my favorite players to watch before our games. One of the hardest working kids I've seen and I think he was playing up an age group.

My family has lived here for generations so I'm close with the community and feel like we are shaken by this tragedy. I have a son their age. I can't imagine how I'd feel. I think that the only thing that would make me happy would be to have my son back. Nothing else would give me peace. Regardless of guilt, destroying another child's life isn't going to help. Not debating what he "deserves", but it does nothing. How can it?

Also, for the record, my original post wasn't for any of you. It was toward whatever Cartersville patch writer wrote this. It seems extremely biased and doesn't make an attempt at viewing the issues from BOTH of the involved parties. I call that a witch hunt.

As I sit here reading the comments about the Taylor family it makes me SICK to think that yall would even suggest that they are doing this for money!! YES, I do know the family YES, I am close to the family and ALL they are asking for is ANSWERS... How can the Bartow Sheriff's Office close a shooting/murder investigation in 24 hours? How can the shotgun be cleaned and put away and not sent to be tested? How was the shotgun left where this 13 year old could get to it? Was it in a locked cabinet? If so, how did he gain access to the shotgun? And these are MY QUESTIONS NOT those of the Taylor Family?How can anyone say that the shooter is suffering? Asking to go to a party... Asking if he can go sking with his girlfriend? Yeah that really sounds like he is suffering! The Taylor's were not allowed to view their son in his casket because their son's face had been blown off from a shotgun blast! Now tell me who is suffering! There has NEVER been any mention of money!!

Was that before or after he was running around with the other kids or when he was asking his mom in front of my mom if he could go to a party when the memorial was over? He didn't shed one tear while I, Rob's MOM, was there, I had to leave early because I was so upset with the way he was acting, not normal....running, playing. It was a twilight zone for me...I am not looking for REVENGE...as for Vengence, that is in God's hands...I have no doubt about that...But am I so wrong to want MAN'S JUSTICE?

No, Mrs. Taylor, I am not speaking of the memorial, I am speaking of the candle light vigil, I believe the day after it happened. He was crying like a baby. And you came at the end and hugged him. He cried on your shoulder and told you he was sorry. I was standing there, as were many others, and watched. I am sorry for the loss you have suffered. I understand you want answers and I hope you find them. But I also hope you find forgiveness, as well.

Rob was an outstanding young man who was always welcome at my house and his death touched my family deeply. His loss was a loss not just for his family but a loss for his friends and the community as a whole.
And to those who are casting any negative accusations about the motives of Rob's family I say this: If you don't have any facts to back up what you say just shut up! If you ever met Rob then his character told you all you needed to know about his family and upbringing.

All I ever heard was that this was an accidental shooting with no malice, forethought or neglect and I find it troubling that the family does not think that BCSO performed a full impartial investigation into the death of Rob. Until I read the comments in this article, I had never heard any accusations of murder (a death resulting from malice with aforethought) or criminal negligence.

It seems like there are too many deaths in this county which are not fully investigated and/or "fully reported" on by the journalists of our community. I feel that any accidental death or any un-natural death that does not result in criminal prosecution should result in a public inquest by the coroner or a magistrate along with an official published report in the official newspaper of record (e.g. like the county/city does with a bid, an official notice or a foreclosure notice, etc.) so that there is never a question of impropriety or unanswered issues, accusations or responsibility.

While I cannot appreciate the depth of loss that his family endures I can emphasize with their outrage that they think a full investigation was not performed and I insist that a full open investigation should be performed with a public hearing to settle any outstanding issues and answer any remaining questions.

I definitely wasn't there, but I am also not the one saying that it HAD to happen a certain way. It IS possible to shoot someone in the face without looking - anything is possible. Freak accidents happen every single day. I say you are either bold or stupid because you are ACCUSING a juvenile of intentionally murdering his friend without knowing all of the facts. Or have you been called in as a consultant to the DA on the case?

Sorry, I didn't realize you were a forensic scientist AND an expert marksman. Guess there's no need for the boy to go to court after all. Sounds like you've already solved the case. (that was very sarcastic, by the way)

I am truely sorry that Rob's family is hurting. I also believe in my heart....they just want someone to PAY even if it is an accident. I can't even imagine what the other child is going through. How can a moment go by....that he doesn't live this nightmare everyday. I know death treats were made by the Taylor family toward the other family out of grief. Let GOD handle this...not man. Would Lil Rob really want his best friend treated this way? My prayer is the Taylor family will be able to let God handle this.

Mrs. Edwards, this is Lil Rob's dad. I am responding to your comments about the other family. First of all there were never any death threats made towards them, that is one way that they go around Bartow county getting sympathy is by slandering us! My family is the victims in the tragedy not them! They can see their son everyday unlike us because of their negligence!!! That is the problem here ..... some of you guys believe that they are the victims! Second, they were not best friends! If you guys had to walk in our shoes then you would know how it feels to lose a son and then be vilified by the public!!!!the bottom line is that their negligence caused the death of our son!!!! But NO ONE HAS BEEN HELD ACCOUNTABLE!!!! We are not asking for anyone's sympathy! WE ARE ASKING FOR JUSTICE FOR OUR SON.... ROBERT HARVELL TAYLOR III!!!!!!

I guess I better just leave this conversation alone before it gets to the point that someone {Diane Edwards and others} with NO IDEA of what is really being asked for here gets their feelings hurt!! Robert and Veronica don't need this crap with people making assumptions of what they are asking for, or not! Their son was killed by a gun that was left unattended and unlocked!!

Robert HARVELL TAYLOR III was a son! A brother! A grandson! A nephew! A cousin! A uncle! A friend to many!! He lived life with all of his heart!!! He loved family! GOD! Baseball! And friends!!! My son lived!!! He had dreams and goals!!! This is what no one wants to acknowledge, MY SON LIVED!!!! HE HAD A VOICE!!!! All of that was taken away on December 29th 2010!!!! We, Lil Rob's parents, want JUSTICE FOR LIL ROB!!!! What parent wouldn't? For you the public to judge us for that is insane!!!! If you were in our shoes you would want the same thing!!!! It blows my mind that everyone knows who did it but tell us we are wrong for wanting JUSTICE!!!! It is equally mind blowing that we are vilified for wanting justice! While they, the other family, get sympathy from the public!!! MY SON DIED!!!! BUT NO ONE HAS BEEN HELD ACCOUNTABLE!!!!! THAT IS THE ONLY ISSUE THAT WE ARE ASKING FOR.........JUSTICE!!!! JUSTICE FOR ROBERT HARVELL TAYLOR III!!!!!! BIG ROB

This is Lil Rob's dad. My son had barely seen the other boy in a year and they had not been hanging out together! That is where you guys get lost!!!! The bottom line is my son went to their house and never returned!!!!! No one was held accountable and you guys think we are wrong because we want justice for our son!!!! Our son that died while at their house!!!! No one should have to bury their child after they go and spend the night at a friend's house!!! It is so easy to sit back and have opinions and judge others when it did not happen to you!!!!! Until you walk in my shoes maybe you should keep your opinions to yourself!!! But if you can't do that have enough guts to put your real name beside your opinion!!! Do not hide behind nicknames!!!!!! Signed Big Rob

First saw this yesterday and was shocked at what I was reading so I finally decided to speak up after this comment. Why in the world would it be required to put real names beside our opinions? Some may, but I would imagine that some, like me, don't want to be tongue lashed like many of you have done if they don't agree. I saw your interview on youtube. It raised a lot of questions for me. How are you guys going to say on video that the boys were friends for years, but on here say that they weren't? I can't recall ever seeing one without the other. I also don't get what you are even doing. It seems to me that you are seeking justice through the courts, but why the articles/comments here? Why be on TV? To inform the public? That's how it seems, then I read here what you have written, and you do everything but provide any "facts" that we don't have. The public isn't vilifying you, they sympathize with you. But they also don't understand, and that's normal considering you haven't provided anything to inform them. As someone who has a child who knew both boys (you actually recruited my son for all stars), I hurt deeply for you, while at the same time I think its disgusting to VILLIFY the other boy in public. You all really thought it was a good idea to quote from the transcripts of a 14 year old boy's statement? That plus your son's tragic death means that I now have 2 reasons to be sad.

I am sorry your soul is so wounded. I never want to hurt or make little of your feelings. It just seems like you see this other child as a grown up. Children are children. They do not think....I honestly do not think it was premeditated. It was a horrible accident which neither family will never be able to forget. My heart goes out to the pain you and your family are going through. I have lost someone. It does not go away. Making someone pay for it will not give anyone peace. I know.

Thanks for the invite, Michelle, but I'm not a fan of guns. I'm not a gun owner because of a bad experience I had when I was younger, not very different from the situation we are discussing. Perhaps that's why I am so quick to say that anything can happen & anything is possible.
You're exactly right- my whole point was that the family needs the facts. They do deserve that. And it's not anyone else's place to feed their minds with all these theories and ideas about what happened when we have absolutely NO clue. What if you are completely wrong and that boy didn't do it on purpose? What if you are completely wrong about him and it really was a complete freak accident but you're (not just you personally, really referring to everyone jumping to conclusions) assisting with making this boy's life miserable? He is still living here, you know. He has to face his peers and other faces of THIS community every day. And if Little Rob was shot as you say, I can't imagine having to deal with that as an adult, much less a 14 year old. I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy. Nothing the Taylors could do to him could even compare to that.
On the other hand, if the Taylors are right, then the HARD, INDISPUTABLE evidence will prove it - if they have it. If that is the case, then it should be appropriately handled through the juvenile court, not in the court of public opinion. If you really want this to be just about Little Rob, concentrate on the life he did have & the great person he was.

You guys are right, he does get to walk around his peers! My son does not get that privilge! Let's stick to the facts.... he went up stairs got the gun, came down shot it, and then took it back up stairs and put it away! Those are the facts!!!! For you to tell me that a 14 year old did not know right from wrong about that is just plain stupid!!! He knew that it was wrong to have the gun in the first place much less point it at another human being!!! It is so funny you guys know where we live! What we drive! And in your posts you call us by name! But you guys say your opinions hiding behind nicknames!!!! The bottom line is our son died due to negligence and we want justice!!!

And the real kicker is...... you actually continuously tell us how bad the other family has it!!! Oh poor family.....their son is alive!! I saw him at Relay for life.....he was smiling, cutting up, and having a grand ole time!!! His mother was laughing and having a great time!

you are right about being 14 and knowing right from wrong.. And the sad part about all of this is when my son was killed . his friend said he did it and that he was just messing with my son. there other friend was there also.. and told us what happened.. they still closed off the scene and took the gun as evidence, and did all kinds of reports. and they took the boy to jail. he was charged with negligence. he sat in juvi for 30 some days. he was given some sort of punishment.. It still hurts my heart and I have to live with out my son everyday. but this boy should be held accountable to his actions some how. he chose to pick that gun up. he had a choice.. if he would of did something else he would of been punished right???? but because he is only a kid then it is okay that he suffer the rest of his life.. Kids tend to put trauma aside as we don't. I still don't see how no charges were found god be with you and all of us who understand where you are coming from.. the truth will come out, it always does.

What if the situation was turned around? How would you feel and react?
Yes I have lost a child. It has taken a long time to come to terms with it. I would hate for you to make some of the mistakes that I have made. The love for your son will never leave... I believe our children would not want us to be so torn up. They loved us and want only the best for us.

There is NO hate here for the shooter, He knew what he was doing he has reached the age of accountability, in other words he KNEW what the result would be if he pulled the trigger to that PUMPED LOADED UNSECURED Shotgun!! This famiy is just asking for answers and justice for their son and I would be the same way, as I am sure that others would as well!! Those of you that think that this is some sort of revenge you are WRONG!! Maybe you need to ask yourselves... would you want answers after a less than 24 hour investigation? Would you speak for your child that can't speak for themselves because they are dead from a shotgun blast to their face?

As far as your question concerning what if it had happened the other way? That is funny, that sounds familar, that is what clark millisaps asked me when he told me to my face that negligence started when the boy decided to go up stairs and get the gun! He told me that to my face after he said that if he could prove negligence he would take them into custody! When i reminded him that he had already said that negligence started when the boy made a grown up decision to go get the gun!!! So to answer your question .... we will never know what we would feel because our son is the one that died not theirs! We taught our son to never play with guns!!! We taught our son that their is always a consequence for your actions!!!! Maybe someone should have taught the other boy that!
How can it be a accident when he had to go get the gun, bring it downstairs, shoot it, and then take it back upstairs? If you think about it by putting it up he knew what he did was wrong! He was old enough to know right from wrong! He made a grown up decision! But now everyone wants to treat him like child! You can have both!! If you want to make adult decisions you have to be held accountable like a adult! Big Rob

I dont run in the right circles because if this would have happened to the high society of Bartow county we would not be discussing this because the boy would already be in custody and charged!! Ordinary Joes in Bartow county dont get the same investigations as the higb society of Bartow county!!!! In this county it is the good ole boy system and I do not know the right people! That is why it is so sad, because I do not have the right connections my son is just a political football!!! Political football was a quote!!!!

Big Rob, why are names of people posting so important to you? Why so hostile about it? I do have one really big question for you: specifically what "justice" needs to happen for you and your family to have peace? Will it really? In all sincerity, I agree with Ms. Edwards. You want justice, not your son. Remember that he's in paradise right now. If you're doing this for him, I don't think he is concerned at all about justice. I can't imagine that justice, no matter what it may be, will ever make you feel the slightest bit better. If you trust in God's justice, then you shouldn't NEED man's justice. It doesn't make sense to trust in God in one hand, and campaign against a child with no PROVEN facts in the other. Not judging you, just want peace for you.

You don't know my son, we do....our son would have wanted the truth to be known, not the lies that are going around. You say no proven facts...sorry hun, I have lots of PROVEN FACTS...there are some things I can't talk about...but know that we wouldn't have been fighting this hard for this long if we didn't have ON PAPER, PROVEN FACTS..EVIDENCE LEFT BY OUR SON. We are in no way stupid....my son's autopsy report speaks volumes by itself without anything else..understand that we are bitter....bitter against the BCSO and the powers that be for not answering our questions and treating us like criminals from the beginning and shutting us out of everything, not to mention the fact that they patroled my house regularly in the months after Rob was killed...we did nothing wrong, we never spoke about harming the other family at all but people believe their lies...Bitter..yes...the whole situation was handled in a way that gave us pause and made us thing there was more going on...then we found the PROOF...This is about TRUTH AND JUSTICE UNDER THE LAW, LITTLE ROB DESERVED A FULL INVESTIGATION..PERIOD.

I understand your bitterness but this sounds like something way deeper than wanting "man's justice". If you have legitimate facts, it seems unrealistic to believe that nothing has happened. You didn't answer my question of what justice specifically would truly allow you to have peace. I don't think it exists. It strikes me as odd that the other family is silent, yet you say they are spreading lies (i figure to have as much credibility as anyone else on here) If your battle is with BCSO and the DA's office is taking a look, then why are you still publicly humiliating a kid? It says to me that you're not after legal justice, you're just spewing hate toward a child, which is what people have a problem with. Take your "facts" and get your "justice" instead of leading this "God blessed" crusade, lying and manipulating your way to"man's justice". Are you really so overcome with hate (bitterness) that you cant see that? I pray for you, and apparantely I need pray more for them too. This is heartbreaking...

what is heart breaking is that you will never understand, us as parents who went tru it do. That is why we have a justice system for.. Right?? to get justice.. and no this will not bring peace to her family. I know I went tru the same thing a yr ago.. but to know that justice was served will help in the healing process.. None of us know all of the facts and until they are out no one should be judging what is right and what is wrong.. And if this kid would of went in to a school and shot it up then we would not all be calling him a kid would we... nope everyone would want him tried as a adult and put away for life.. one child is just as bad a million...

Saying "if this kid would of went in to a school and shot it up then we would not all be calling him a kid would we... nope everyone would want him tried as a adult and put away for life" is like saying "I would be a millionaire if I was born as Steve Jobs, so that means I can go buy a million dollar house, a boat, and a Ferrari." That's not what this kid did, so that's irrelevant. Going into a school and blowing people away is a deliberate and premeditated act. This boy is apparently being charged with involuntary, meaning it wasn't deliberate. You can't possibly equate him with a terrorist!

It is so easy to hide behind your nickname and say whatever you think, but would it be if others could see you for who really are? As for the evidence, unless you are a detective, DA, or a lawyer evidence to my son's case is really none of your business! As far as the boy....child as you put it? At the age of 14 he knew right from wrong! He made adult choices when he chose to go get the gun! He chose to take it down stairs! He chose to use it! He chose to take it back upstairs! All of those were adult choices!!!! You can not make adult decisions but then when you have to answer for your choices say he was only child!!

What would I say in public? I would like to think that if I heard someone saying the things you are saying about a child I would do the same. Is that not what we are supposed to do? Keep in mind that as of right now, he is still innocent until proven guilty. You say differently based off of secret facts that you have. You're right, obviously I don't know. None of us do and you sure haven't filledanyone in. So if you're not sharing, then why push all this media attention? That is what I was asking. Maybe I didn't say it right. Sorry, but this all reads to me that you want him charged and tried with as much possible, publicly humiliate him, throw him in jail for life, then allow God to cast him into hell. Thats what you want? thats what you mean when you say "man's justice for our son"? if im wrong please correct me but you havent said or implied anything but that. What am I supposed to think when I read all of this? I'm not on anyone's side here. If the other family were the ones doing the same I would tell them the same. And mrs Taylor, your interview and your words here don't match. I've said my peace so ill leave the conversation now. Again, it's just heartbreaking...

My son had spent the night over at their house many times in the previous years. There had never been any incidents until that day. But it only takes on time for something like this to happen!

Veronica and Rob, I am so sorry that there are so many faceless cowards in the community that have SO MUCH to say. It breaks my heart to read these pathetic statements of how you are wrong in your feelings. These people are so sympathetic to the person that pulled the trigger. For the Taylors, please do not read anything further and let it fuel you and make you think that you have to DEFEND yourself. It is just not worth it! There is nothing to discuss with this caliber of people that thinks you are wrong in your hurt pain or "hatred". I tell you though these negative comments toward the Taylors are not the majority in this county. Sometimes you just have to turn the other cheek and allow HIM to be in control of all things. What these cruel people say means absolutely NOTHING at the end of the day. They just think that they have made a stand for the day and have to go back to their sad life of posting hurtful things on various subjects because that is all they have. These people and their opinions MEAN NOTHING!

Ms Landry, I have to respectfully disagree with you on this. None of us "faceless cowards" are saying the Taylors are wrong for wanting answers. Any parent would want that. However, we are simply saying that there is a right way and a wrong way to find those answers. Publicly slandering and accusing a CHILD of intentionally killing his friend, IS NOT the right way - especially if you are trying to let GOD control the issue. (I do believe it is in the Bible that he without sin shall cast the first stone) And please keep in mind that this child you are slandering is STILL in this county! He is a citizen, and he has rights, also, whether you like it or not. Additionally, since you're a pollster of the county, not sure which "majority" you're speaking of, but the majority of those I have heard speak of it/post of it wish the Taylors could find their answers and find peace without wreaking havoc on this boy and his family. In fact, the people that I know whom REALLY KNOW this boy all believe there is no way that he would have done it intentionally and they know the remorse he feels and has displayed. The Taylors are the only ones that think differently. They are not wrong for hurting, but spreading hatred is wrong - again, especially if you are bringing God into the mix. But I do agree with you on one part - our opinions (including yours) mean nothing. Only the judge will decide, and that's the only opinion (besides God's) that matters.

It does say in the bible the he without sin shall cast the first stone...why do you think that applies to me and not you? Are you not casting stones also? Yes, you are. I will continue to PUBLICLY DEMAND FOR THE TRUTH AND JUSTICE FOR MY SON, LITTLE ROB. It matters not how you or anyone else feels...we have done this because nothing else we did got us the answers to questions ANY parent would have if in our shoes..and you are not in our shoes..I care less for majority or not..as I would be considered a MINORITY in this county..maybe that's why I've been treated the way I have and my son? No matter..as far as slandering this child? NOT..who are you anyway? His step-dad, uncle, grandpa, granny? Can't be slander if you can prove everything you say like I can..how about you, can you, I think not, as you are putting words in my mouth? ..I wish to find peace too, and sorry but if it means that this boy has to face the responsibility and consequences for his actions...his actions that negligently took the life of a child..then so be it...if it was your child what would you do? You can't say, because you can't possibly know unless it happens to you..you are the one spreading hatred..not us. We want to know what happened the day our son died. PERIOD. We want negligence acknowledged and punished under the law..don't care how you feel about it. TRUTH AND JUSTICE FOR ROB

No, Veronica. I am not his stepdad, uncle, grandpa, or grandma. I am of no relation. But, I do know them somewhat. Enough to know the kind of people they are, & enough to know that they aren't the horrible people that some on here are painting them out to be. I am not judging you. I am not saying you are a horrible person, & I am definitely not the one saying that you are going to face the judgement of God for what you have done/are doing. You are right, majority or minority doesn't determine anything here. Truth of the matter is, you aren't going to listen to any advice from anyone unless it is what you want to hear or if it supports your crusade. However, I urge you, for your own sake & that of your son's legacy, to consider your actions before you act. As of now, everyone remembers Rob for the person he was. Funny, outgoing, courageous, encouraging are just a very few words I have heard mentioned to describe him. He was a wonderful young man. Let him be remembered by that legacy HE built and not by his parents pursuing a very public legal crucifixion of his friend. Rob & Veronica, it is not my intention to offend you. It has only been to offer you another opinion to consider & another point of view to see. Whether or not you consider it is your option and I believe you have made it clear with your responses that you only intend to continue down one path. As I have said before, I only wish you peace, but I'm afraid you aren't going to find it down the road you've chosen.

Mrs. Landry, this is Big Rob. Thank you for your words of encouragement!! I had started to feel mentally drained by the opinions of the faceless cowards... as you called them! Especially when they say we are evil because we want justice for our son!! One even said we were negligent because we let our son go to his house! I mean really? Thank you once again Mrs. Landry people like you give us strength!!!!

I have guns in my home for self defense. My daughter is twelve, and I intend on teaching her how to use it. I will also show her where it is in case of an emergency. Does that make me a negligent parent? I will teach her to leave the situation if possible and defend if necessary. Now, if my child purposely harmed or killed someone with malice, I would understand the need for justice. No fault accidents happen everyday. They are in no way less tragic, but the blame is not as easily assigned. As for God having judgment on the child, even if he had done it on purpose, if he believes in Christ as his savior, he is already forgiven. I think this was an accident. A case of two boys playing with guns. A precious life was lost, but don't let your grief feed your hate. Prayers for both families involved.

Mr. Whitehead,
You can think it was whatever you think it was. I do thank you for your prayers...but don't get the situation twisted...there is NO indication my son ever touched that gun. I do not believe, and I believe it will come out in due time, that my son wasn't playing with the gun. That he never even touched it....I do not have hate...I have a need for the truth and justice under the law. I thank you for your comments and everybody has the right to feel the way they feel. As do we. We are not doing this blind. We have been fighting for the truth for so long now, and I believe the truth will prevail. Yes, let us remember that a precious life was lost, was taken by irresposible actions, made easier to do by more irresponsible actions. His name is ROBERT HARVELL TAYLOR III! He LIVED AND LOVED. HE is why we do this....truth and justice. Call it what you want but again. It is what it is....

Dear bruins, you quote the bible to us? You left out one important part of the bible.....one of GOD's commandments ......GOD'S LAWS!!!!! THOU SHALL NOT KILL!!!!! Wow!! Everyone has opinions but the fact that my son not theirs or yours was killed that day!!!! Everyone, especially the faceless cowards, can have opinions but what if it was your child? Then how would your thoughts change? Everyone says he is a child......THAT DAY HE MADE ADULT CHOICES!!!! ADULT DECISIONS!!!! But now that it is in the public.....he is a child! Mr. Whitehead, I applaud you for educating your daughter about guns!!! Teaching her how to use them and respect them! No that does not make you negligent, but if your kid chose to go upstairs, get your gun, take it downstairs, point it in the direction of a human being, shoot, and then take it back upstairs! Then would you think that there was negligence involved? I know for a fact that my son never touched the gun!!! With that fact how could it be just a tragic accident? The gun did not walk downstairs by it self! The boys were not playing with the gun!!!! So, keeping in mine that your child was not the one that died, how are we supposed to feel? Think? Are supposed to just say oh well and go on with life?

It is so easy for people to tell us, advise us, share their opinion when at the end of the day they do not truly know what they would do or say because it has not happened to their family!!!! So tell me what are we supposed to do while you guys continue to coach from the bleachers!!!!! BIG ROB

a boy of that age KNOWS that guns can kill. I am pretty sure he also knew you do not point a gun at a person unless you plan to shoot. Nothing about this story makes any sense to me. If you didn't plan to shoot your friend WHY would you point a gun at his face. If I were the parent of the dead child, I would want a lot more answers, In fact, the boy who did the shooting should be MADE to talk to the parents of the dead child and explain to them HOW this could happen. There is a whole lot more to this story than what I am hearing here. For the police to all it an accident, just how does some one get killed by accident when a gun is pointed at you. Someone made a decision to go get the gun, someone made a decision to load the gun, someone made a decision to pull the trigger, WHAT about any of this is an accident?.

Neoma, I thought your post was one of the most delusional things I'd ever heard until I clicked your name. I was then shown another article that you commented on that was even more idiotic that this one! You said that the student at Cartersville who was taken advantage of by a teacher, was guilty of flirting with him. What kind of sick and twisted person are you? What do you have against kids? I saw this article on AJC and just HAD to get your insightful opinion:http://www.ajc.com/news/news/girl-5-mauled-by-her-familys-pet-pit-bull/nTNpj/?src=cb_article
I assume that by your logic, pitbulls are known to be violent and she knows better (she's 5 after all) that the girl is to blame. It seems like a natural conclusion after reading your garbage. I'm not even sure that the Taylor's appreciate that "support"!!

James Carswell........delusional....you think asking for answers in the death of your child isn't fair? As to the other article, I think you will find it is an accusation only, and here you already have that teacher judged, and found guilty. Obviously you have never seen HOW the girls in high school act. You are the one who is living in la la land. by the way.........it is very dangerous to assume you know what a person thinks or feels, You don't think that a child of 14 should have to be responsible for his actions obviously, I am the one hoping that YOU DON'T have kids.... I can well imagine what your kids are like. Now go away and leave me alone because this really isn't about me, is it.....

You are correct, the article is an accusation only, which is the exact same as the accidental shooting. Did I miss something? When was the verdict handed down? I'm not really interested with the how the girls in high school act. I was using the other two stories as a comparison. You're right again when you say that it's dangerous to assume to know what a person thinks and feels. For starters, you should take your own advice regarding me, because I DO think a 14 yr old should be held responsible. Since we are on that topic, what do you call your assumptions about the child? No, it isn't about you (whoever Nea is), it's about you obviously talking out of both sides of your mouth. Take your own advice and stop assuming and instead rely on facts (PROVEN facts). THAT is my only request, and not one that is unreasonable. How can you not agree? Actually your post did already...

Accidental shooting? THERE IS nothing accidental about pointing a gun at someone and shooting them.......I stand by my original comments. There was a decision made and carried out, and that boy should be held accountable. We did not get the full story. The parents need answers and they aren't getting any. There was no verdict because it never went anywhere, they never got a day in court, nothing. How could a parent rest when things are handled so irresponsibly. Yes I have kids, five kids, and I can tell you if another kid of the age of 14 shot and killed one of my kids, I would be in the exact same place as these parents, AND I WOULD WANT ANSWERS.

Was he shot in the back of the head and it blew everything away? I am sure that the Taylors know where he was shot from as they have the G.B.I. report and it would tell them from which direction he was shot and from which angle!! So unless you were there I think you need to keep your assumptions and comments to yourself!!

Ms. Jacobson, can you read? I said "You are ASSUMING the boy pointed the gun in Little Rob's face." As in, you are assuming he PURPOSEFULLY pointed the gun in his face. As in holding the gun up and AIMING it in Little Rob's face. Are we clear now? Do you get it, or do I need to say it in a couple of different languages? There is NO PROOF of that from what I have read here. I didn't say anything about WHERE he was shot. In reality, the location of the shot doesn't prove anything.

So you're saying you think they didn't review the autopsy report at all before now? That they wrote it up with their eyes closed, stuck it in an envelope, and the parents are the ONLY ones that have read it? That them receiving it was a new discovery? Again, why I said before. It's impossible for a case to be officially closed within 24 hours. The autopsy report is part of the original investigation. Apparently, the autopsy report doesn't prove any malicious intent, so I guess they did do their job, after all.

Michelle, didn't you just prove Jensen's point as being valid? If I'm understanding you, then your saying that all the experts with their standardized methods are all wrong? It seems to me that they would ALL have to be wrong on purpose-the investigators, photographer, autopsy team...EVERYONE? Jensen's point, and he is free to disagree, is that there is just as likely a chance that it was accidental. Add in the fact all that you described happened and it makes me lean toward the conclusion of accidental. To contradict all of these different government agencies takes facts, not forensics enthusiasts such as ourselves. I think that was his point. In any rate, I still think that in any scenario, this is the wrong way to go about it. Proof is indisputable, not something that you have to sell.

Michelle, have you verified these "facts"? You might need to. You act as if you have read the files or something. I'm almost guaranteeing that you haven't, as I can't imagine that's legal (and shouldn't be if it is). Just exactly how long have you known the Taylor's?

Taylor family, I'm not disagreeing with you but people such as Michelle have no right to be involved. Again, I'm not sure it's even legal, and it's definitely bad morally.

I have never met her, though I have talked to her briefly a couple of times on FB...I have put a lot of information out there and she is a good investigative person, in other words, I believe she has done her homework. James, you say you are not disagreeing with us but that is pretty much what you are doing but that is fine as you have the right to your opinion. But to say Michelle has no right to be involved...well, I have involved anybody and everybody who wants to have an opinion about this....including you. You have the right to your thoughts and opinions as does Michelle. I don't think you are anyone's moral judge, look in the mirror before you judge as God is the only judge. Understand, I am not that boy's judge either. But the justice system failed my son and I mean to make it right, and that boy will have to stand in front of man's judge for his actions and all will be known then. And him and I will stand in front of God Almighty for our sins on this earth...his judgement from God is not my business, but his judgement in front of man's judge is most definately my business and includes my fight for justice for LITTLE ROB!

Mrs. Taylor, you don't think there are laws that exist to prevent slander towards a minor, particularly their transcripts in an open case in juvenile court? Or is it that you don't care? Your answer is confusing. I don't know for a fact if there is or not but I do know that if I go to the doctor and get 800mg of Motrin, even THAT is protected under privacy laws. It stand to reason that the transcripts of an investigation of a child surely is. One more thing: I can assure you that you aren't involving me. This is Cartersille Patch for crying out loud. You claim to support opinion, then get all torn up when one isn't what you want to hear. I doubt that a tenth of Bartow even knows this article exists. I didn't until days after it was posted. I do find your use of God and His word interesting. The bible is meant to be read in some sort of order, not just pull a single sentence out that enables you to do wrong. Mrs Taylor, I have compassion for you and your family. It's a natural human urge that is proof that God is real. If He wasn't then compassion wouldn't have a reason to exist. "Man's" justice is flawed, God says it over and over. It's what separates us from Him. God isn't your sword to attack a child, no matter the circumstance. It seems impossible to understand, but it's true. The way you're going about answers (which you totally deserve) is wrong, both on earth and with God. I'm sorry for your pain and truly hope and pray nothing but the best for your family.

Michelle, you are admitting to taking some "facts" from a source that you have never met and barely talked to, then completely trusting them? Doesn't sound very responsible does it? I re-read the comments. You ripped the "murderer" up pretty bad in the beginning didn't you? After clicking on your name and reading your bio, it appears that you also suffered severe trauma. Since, as you stated, it may very well be an accidental shooting don't you think you and that boy just might have a lot in common (depression, anxiety, etc)? I even saw a post where you were advising people of the "world of litigatious recourse" if the wrong thing was said. Slander only applies once the name is said? Might want to google that one. You seem intelligent and part of you seems to want to do good. I just don't see how both of those can coexist. After hearing how long you and Mrs Taylor have had a relationship (or lack of), it makes me seriously question all the others too. As you well know, PTSD sufferers have a skewed sense of reality that's often incorrect. The Taylors and the boy and his parents all likely have it regardless of how the shooting happened.

To anyone that wants to argue about how long someone has known the Taylor Family is irrelevant.. the facts are that they do know them and they know of Lil Rob's case so that means that they have every right to speak out about it! Maybe someone needs to go stand in traffic with a sign that refers to a young boy being shot and the case being closed within 24 hours by the Sheriff's Office! Then more people will wonder and ask the same questions, Why was the shotgun left where the shooter was able to get to it? Why was it loaded? Why was it already pumped? Where were the parents while this was going on? No other names have been mentioned by anyone, there is a reason for that! All I know is that the Taylor family is entitled to answers to the questions that they have asked that I have asked! Veronica and Rob and the other members of that family deserve answers and I myself will do whatever it takes for them to get the answers that they deserve! There is a LOVE that some of us have for the Taylor family that NOONE will EVER UNDERSTAND! Its truly a shame that some of you think this is just about the person that shot Lil Rob it is about ANSWERS & JUSTICE for Lil Rob! As for the person and his family that shot Lil Rob they are NOT suffering they are NOT grieveing they have went on with their lives, have made accusations against the Taylor family that were proven to be lies! Shame on them and those of you that want this to end.. it will NOT end until the ANSWERS and JUSTICE is served!!

You are right this is a public forum and all opinions can be heard and spoken here. But, and maybe you should think very hard about this? Unless you have walked in my shoes maybe you should not judge us for wanting justice for our son!! What would you do if it had been one of your kids that spent the night at a friends but never came home? How would people judge you for your actions? Honestly I could care less what people think!!! I will continue seeking justice for my son, ROBERT HARVELL TAYLOR III!!!! My son deserved that!!!!!!

Are you serious? First you take us to bible study with the Ezekiel verse and then imply that the boy better have God on his side when his judgement comes? It's pretty easy to see what your intent was in those words. Do yourself a favor: crack that bible back open and see what it has to say about hypocrites, speaking bad of others, and judgement. It may also be worth reading up on how judgement has nothing to do with anyone's feelings besides that person and God. According to the bible, the boy may have repented and been forgiven. If so, that's a wrap. It's gone in God's eyes.

I can think of another culture who uses religious scripture to justify their actions too. (Hint: 9/11)

How many of you put a mask so you can work But can not show your real feelings because your wife and kids are still dealing with PTSD because Their son and brother was murdered! And yes he was murdered! How many of you have a grandchild ask you where their uncle is? How many of your granchildren cry because you tell them he is in heaven? How many of you find out you have grandchidren, nephews,nieces, or cousins on the way and then cry because you know that they will never know their family member because he was murdered?What would you do if it was you walked in my shoes?.My son had no choices! I do know if my son had a choice he would have chose to LIVE! If you are members of the family that killed my son REALLY keep posting! Your son murdered my son! GOD knows the truth! MY SON WAS MURDERED! If I lived in the house with a MURDERER I would be afraid for my own life! If you get away with it once .how hard is it the SECOND TIME? Big Rob

Mr. Carswell, sir maybe you need to read that verse in Matthew 7 about "Judge not lest you be judged!" Sir I am proud to stand with the Taylors and to ask for JUSTICE for Lil Rob! There is NO logical reason that a loaded pump shotgun should have been left where this young man could get to it and KILL Lil Rob. The case that was investigated was closed within 24 hours and it was ruled "accidental" this was NO accident the gun was left where this other child could get to it when it should have been in a locked gun case, so this was NOT an "ACCIDENT" this was NEGLIGENCE! Someone needs to anwer for this whether it be the child that took the life of Lil Rob or his parents and then JUSTICE will be served!!

Until he gets justice we will continue to fight for our son!!!!! He did not deserve to die in such a horrific way because of negligent parents and a boy that murdered my son!!!!!! So yes it is still on going and it will continue until there is justice for my son!!!!

Mr. Taylor, I was addressing Michelle Daniels and I was clearly referring to the comment section of this article on Patch.com being active still. I would have thought it would have been archived by now, since its been up since November. It was more of a comical comment anyway. With all this being said, your response to me directly is completely random since there was absolutely zero relevant content in regards to what I posted. Yes, I understand that this is still going on in your life, and for that I apologize, but perhaps reading a person's comments a little more thoroughly before you respond to them so boldly would prevent this.

When he realized THAT ONCE AGAIN I CAUGHT HIM LYING HE HUNG THE PHONE UP!!!! His department screwed my son's case up since the day it happened!!! SHERRIFF MILLSAPS PLEASE TELL ME WHAT MY 13 YEAR OLD SON EVER DID TO YOU TO CAUSE YOU TO JUST WANT TO BURY HIS CASE WITH HIM? DOES MY SON NOT DESERVE A COMPETENT INVESTIGATOR TO DO A TRUE INVESTIGATION? SHERRIFF MILSAPS YOU WILL HAVE TO ANSWER TO GOD ONE DAY MAYBE YOU WILL TELL THE TRUTH AT THAT TIME!!!!!

HE WAS ELECTED BY THE PEOPLE TO PROTECT AND SERVE!!!! I guess unless you have money or the right last name he does not care what happens to you!!! He and his investigators tried their hardest to bury my son's case!!!! But since they could not do that NOW THEY ARE OBSTRUCTING THE INVESTIGATION!!!!! CLARK HOW DO YOU SLEEP AT NIGHT KNOWING THAT YOU ARE LETTING A MURDERER WALK FREE? Clark how did you serve and protect my son? He lived in your county!!!!

Like I said, I had no clue this comments section was still open, but decided to revisit it to see what Michelle was up to after she and I had some philosophical differences between morals concerning this. But now, I'd kind of like to hear the parts that I'm obviously missing. I'm afraid that without them, it's hard to continue to follow with only portions of one sided information.

This is honestly my last attempt...Mr. Taylor, what I am trying to tell you is that this comments section has been inactive for quite a while. For nearly 2 months no one posted anything, and since then the only people who have commented have been you, your wife, Michelle, and Ms Jacobson. You all seem to be on the same page on your stance. I have also posted a few times in the last several days. Seeing as how this is a public website/article/comment section, I assume that the purpose of your posts is the same as the intentions of the original article which appears to be to inform the community and to raise awareness to the issue so that it is not just some forgotten story. But so far, I seem to be the only one who is outside of the loop here. Actually, I'd imagine that others who might read all of this are lost too. If you are trying to raise awareness, then why are you being so aggressive to anyone who has questions or disagrees? It makes more sense to enlighten the community on what they don't know. Otherwise, what's the point?

Keep in mind that I don't know you or your family or the boy and his family. I can certainly understand that you are in pain and are suffering more than I can imagine. I think that you are right in trying to get answers for questions you may have about your son's unfortunate death. But if you're not going to inform the people who don't understand, then what is the point of venting like this in public?

Ok. Well I guess this is all for nothing then. Seems way easier to just start a Facebook group or meet for lunch if you aren't trying to attract potential supporters. I thought the whole point of going PUBLIC was to inform the PUBLIC. I may have been able to be swayed one way or another, but I'll just quietly watch as I get updates of your latest uninformative ranting. By the way, I'd bet everything that the Sheriff doesn't and hasn't kept up with these posts. The whole theme of your message has changed anyway.

He EXISTED!Something was going on in that house the day my son was murdered and you don't care!!!! WHY!! If it were your son, wouldn't you want to know what and why? All we have ever wanted was our questions answered.I have my son's cell phone, here is the truth folks.my son was begging,begging someone to not do something to him because he wasn't the person that did whatever to that person.begging, aggitated, upset, my son, within a minutes of his killing.begging.clearly upset.my baby boy!.Yes we wanted our questions answered as you would Clark.why have you not considered our son as a person who lived and was loved by so many since he was dead. And that is how it has felt, Rob was dead, forget him, what about the boy, people knew people, who cares about anything, poor kid, he didn't mean to do it, poor kid.that's all you wanted to hear from the beginning.you didn't want the truth,.but I DO.

To all concern I also reposted this on the Bartow County Sheriff's Website only I added the words "WE WILL NOT BE SILENCED" at the end and guess what it was also deleted from the Bartow County Sheriff's Office Website... so my question is what is being hidden? Why did they close the case within 24 hours? Robert Harvell Taylor III was a living breathing human being when his parents let him go to this other home and then he was shot and KILLED by a child with a loaded weapon that was NOT in a safe locked Gun Cabinet. Why was this gun not taken into evidence? How can this be considered an accident within a 24 hour period? Why were NO NEGLIGENCE charges filed against the parents of the child that shot and KILLED Robert Harvell Taylor III? Why was this other child not taken into custody? What is the Sheriff's Office hiding that needs to be known that is being kept in a desk drawer somewhere? Why is this case any different than any other? Why won't the Sheriff Clark Millsap have a decent conversation with the Taylor Family? Why was Mrs. Veronica Taylor put out of the sheriff's office? Why did Sheriff Millsap hang up on Mr. Robert Taylor? Why has Sheriff Millsap said that Mrs.Taylor is bashing him on Facebook? I understand Mr.& Mrs. Taylor's frustration at wanting answers and as a friend of the family I also would like answers as would many others!

Wow! How do you type all that and not understand how me and others don't comprehend? I still don't think that Milsap reads 3 mo old patch.com articles, but since you all write to him directly here, what kind of reception were you expecting?
Ms Jacobson - how exactly do you know that it was closed within 24 hrs? Please someone cite the law that states the firearm had to be in a safe? They didn't take the boy into custody? Seriously? You actually think that the boy wasnt taken to the Sheriff's dept? You ask why the sheriff hung up on mr Taylor or kicked ms Taylor out of his office (btw is that true?) but I have a feeling they can answer those questions for you.
Ms Taylor, Kimberly says the gun was never taken to evidence. But you know for a "fact" that your sons fingerprints werent on it? How are both of you telling the truth?
See how it's not adding up guys? I told you, I'm all ears.

Mr Carswell....I understand your questions...I would prob have the same...it's too bad that we can't prove these things now as their is a BS case pending in Juvinile Court right now...as far as what I have said in the past...I have been saying the same thing since the beginning...that is we had questions that the BCSO and the other family refused to answer!! We rightfully had questions regarding evidence that we found and they blew us off...Our son was dead and they all acted questionalbly which made us ask questions as to why? The case was closed by the morning on of Dec 30th, 2010..I know this because they came to my house and told me..and yes, it is true that the sheriff threw me out of his office and hung up the phone on my husband, you really think we would be saying anything without having direct proof? Please give us more credit than that...so sorry if we cannot prove to you the things you want proven but as I said, with a trial pending we cannot, but the truth will come out, I promise you that, sorry if it's not on your timeline, as it's definately not on mine, as far as the gun, it was taken into evidence, I was told by the investigator that the gun was tested for prints and there was only one partial print found on the gun...ONE...how is that possible if they were "playing with the gun as the boy says"..I was also told by a first responder that the gun was "polished and cleaned and put away when they got on scene..I could say much more...and it will come out, soon.

We finally got the DA to loom at the case and for that reason we can not elaborate any further! My son was MURDERED!!! He did not touch the shotgun! The Sherriff CLARK MILLSAPS has lied to me three different times concerning my son's case!!!! As far as the sherriff reading this public forum.....I know for a fact he is reading it!!! He said as much in our last conversation! I do not know what my son did to deserve thw treatment that the BCSO has given to him and this case!!!!

This is ridiculous. How do you people get away with saying all of this about a KID? I have also seen the posts on topix about this. You say you havent changed your story? But you say the boys werent best friends. Then please explain the words of this post that is on topix:

The Baseball Group | Jan 1, 2011 In our Prayers wrote: Such a tragic end to a young mans life. Rob Jr. was a joy to be around and had so much going for him in life. Parents and family are great support system and he had so much potential for the future with sports and life.

It is such a tragedy, the other young man was Lil-Robs best friend. Two families have been changed forever in a blink of an eye. Please pray for the other family and young man. I had the privilege to train and work with both of these great young men and great baseball players.

Lil-Rob was one of our players and was a great inspiration to his teammates and coaching staff.

Please pray for the Taylor Family they are very hurt.

I want you all to know that Big Rob told me this morning and told me with tears in his eyes and hurt in his heart, that he called the other young man and told him "I love you, and I forgive you".

Please let the healing process continue, rumors are just that rumors. It was a tragic accident.

I love both the young men.

Another inconsistency. And there's no way possible for a case to be closed in 24 hours. A conclusion may have been drawn based on the initial evidence, but it cannot officially be closed that quick. The medical examiner couldnt have finished his work in that time. Any person with good sense knows that. I believe the death certificate has to be finished before it can even be closed. I could be wrong on that part, but i know for a fact it cant be closed in 24 hours.,

Excuse me C Morris, but were you there at the Taylor household when they came and told them that the case was closed? From a post from Veronica Taylor ^ there
"The case was closed by the morning on of Dec 30th, 2010..I know this because they came to my house and told me.". So until you know for a fact that this is not what happened quit with your insinuations that it was "another inconsistency" ! As for the other comments that you are making "about how do people get away with people making all these comments about a "KID" the comments are true and they are FACTS the young man that went and retrieved a loaded shotgun that was under his parents bed! Was that a safe place to leave a loaded shotgun? They were friends not best friends they both played ball and yes were on the same team! The person that made the comment on topix apparently was a coach! Was he there when this MURDER occurred? NO! And yes it was a MURDER!

Again, they drew a conclusion based on statements and evidence. Being officially closed is another matter. They may have said "we're ruling this as accidental" but that doesn't mean the seal is on the case. There are other steps that must be completed.

Good grief, woman! Do you ever just be quiet?

This is Big Rob. I can not believe that we are constantly having to defend our words! Our actions! My son, Robert Harvell Taylor III, had been really close friends but had grown apart in the year and half leading up to my son's MURDER!!!! It is true that 3 days after it happened, while we believed what the family and BCSO was telling us, I did call and say that I forgave him!! But on the day of my son's funeral I called Clark Millsaps and he told me the first lie....that he had been to the scene!!! He later told me that he never went to the scene. But he did tell me that my son never touched the gun! He told me the story that the family was telling did not add up!!! My preacher said that since the family could not tell the truth that they were not welcomed at his church!!! We have found out so much evidence proving that it was a murder since the day the coach posted that post!! My son was MURDERED!! The truth is the truth!! The boy that shot my son knew right from wrong!!! So ask why we tell the truth about that boy and his family? We are the only voice for our son!! We will not stop until we get justice for our son!!!!

Ms Jacobson, YOU weren't there either! You don't know the facts either. You and your post is what I see as wrong and ridiculous! The Taylor's possibly have at least an explanation of why they are so fanatical, but all of the cheerleaders don't. It doesn't seem that half of you even know what you're talking about, but you're just the "bodyguards" for the Taylor family, attacking anyone who dares to question anything. I'm curious, Ms. Jacobson, what is your fondest memory of time you spent with Lil Rob? Good Lord I hope the other family hasn't seen this ridiculous nonsense! If they have, then I hope Kim Jacobson is your real name so that they can sue you for all your worth. I would if I were them and it was my child you all were saying this about. And yes, as I pointed out long ago to Michelle, it is illegal. The boy is a minor. You are adults. You can't talk about him like this according to Georgia Law. It's slander, defamation, libel, cyber-bullying, and harassing at the very least. This is a public, local article/comments. That means both he and his peers may see this. Don't believe me? Heres what my quick internet search pulled up:

When we found the evidence that we have we did take it to the BCSO but they blew it off! For some reason they do not want the case reopened nor do they want the truth to be public knowledge!!!!

That would be justice to me! Let him sit in jail the rest of his life and think about what he did to Lil Rob and Lil Rob's family!

That is where you guys do not listen......the disconnect!! He was not tried or found innocent!! The Sherriff's department closed the case in less than 24 hours and ruled it a accident!!!! We then found evidence that points to the truth.....that my son was murdered!!!! Showed it to the BCSO but they looked the other way!!! Why you ask? That is the million dollar question! Why when we finally got the DA to look at the case file he waited until after the election to make his ruling? There are two charges pending....one a misdemeanor the other a felony!!! We can not divulge the evidence we have at this time but one day we will release all of the evidence that the BARTOW COUNTY SHERRIFF DEPARTMENT, CLARK MILLSAPS, SARGENT Rogers, and the boy and his family have fought for over two years to hide and bury!!!!!!! I hope Mr. Carswell if you were in the same situation you would also fight for JUSTICE for your child!!!!! I know that if I could I would help you anyway I could if the roles were reversed!!!! No family should have to bury their child after they spend the night at a friend's house!!!! Nor should a family have to hear that their son's case is nothing but a POLITICAL FOOTBALL!!!! Not the victim!!! Not a loving son!!!! But a POLITICAL FOOTBALL!!!!!! MY SON WAS MURDERED!!!!!!! I will not rest!! I am my son's voice now!!!!! Hopefully this answers some of your questions.

He can not fight for himself anymore so we are his voice now!!!!! The BCSO, MILLSAPS, AND ROGERS FOR WHATEVER REASON ARE TRYING TO HINDER THE PROSECUTION OF THE PERSON THAT MURDERED MY SON!!!!! Why does a elected official do this to a 13 year old boy's case? Clark what did my son ever do to you? Do you remenber telling me that if you could find negligence you would arrest father and son? Do you remember that Clark? Do you also remember Clark telling me that negligence started when the boy got the shotgun? Clark, I remember!!!! I also remember me pointing out to you that out of your mouth you proved negligence but when i did point that out to you, you said what if it had been your son that had got the gun? Clark, the point is that it was not my son...... my son died!!!!! Clark and Jonathan, what would you do or how different would the investigation be if it had been your child?

.I have my son's cell phone, here is the truth folks.my son was begging,begging someone to not do something to him because he wasn't the person that did whatever to that person.begging, aggitated, upset, my son, within a minutes of his killing.begging.clearly upset.my baby boy!.

To Mr. and Mrs. Taylor, I copied this from your post. I have been following this thread, as a lot of people probably have as well. First I offer my condolences to you and your family, and next, my question to you (both), is this quote correct? Was your son specifically stating that he felt 'threatened by someone'?

Lifelong, this Big Rob, Lil Rob's dad. Thank you for your condolences! There was something going in that house that the public does not know anything about the day my son died! We can not go into any more detail because supposedly his case has been reopened. I did find very troubling text messages on my son's phone!! That is true!!! The content of which I can not elaborate at this time!! I will tell you that when I found the text messages I took them directly to Jonathan Rogers but he just blew me off!!! It was not a accident!!! My son was murdered!!! Sherriff Millsaps, Detective Rogers, and the BCSO have been trying to bury my son's case since day one and now they are trying to obstruct the prosecutor's investigation!!!! I want to know why my son did not get a full investigation? I want to know what my 13 year old son ever did to Sherriff Millsaps to cause him to try and bury his case and then to obstruct the on going investigation? Why Sherriff Millsaps did you not put the boy in jail until the investigation was complete? Why does the prosecutor want to know the relationship between the boy's family and you and Rogers? Why Sherriff Millsaps will you not do what you were elected to do? You took a oath to protect and serve!!! What are you not doing that for the victim's family? You treat the boy's family as if they are the victims and treat us like we are criminals!!!! Why Sherriff Millsaps why? Clark answer my questions!!! Be a man!!!

Big Rob, I believe you. I also understand why you can not specifically address certain things that happened, for legal purposes. I think if a lot of the commenters knew the specifics, which I am only guessing at, I have no first hand knowledge of any evidence, they may be better able to understand your position. If I were in your position I would not stop. And Lil Rob did matter, he mattered a great deal.

Lifelong, if you don't knowand of the specifics, how can you make a call on who you believe? That's the problem with this whole thing. No one knows yet they want to send this kid to the slaughter house. What happens if the specifics show the commenters that it was as originally ruled - an accident?? No one is debating whether or not Lil Rob mattered. No one would dare say he didn't.

Morris, this is Big Rob. Ive thinking about what you said in earlier post where you said we must have been scared off! We will not ever stop until we get justice for our son!!! And as for you wanting the name of our preacher.........you act like he is a horrible person but it is okay for a murderer to walk around free? Wow!!!! You want to villify a man for sticking up for the victim's family............... but to you it is okay for someone to kill someone but continue to walk around free!!!! Never have to be held accountable!!!!! That is what is wrong with society today!!!!! So NO MORRIS WE ARE NOT AND WILL NOT EVER BE SCARED OFF!!!!! OUR SON WAS A WONDERFUL YOUNG MAN!!!! HE DESERVED BETTER!!!!!

Mr. Taylor, I was talking about the slander, defamation, and cyber-bullying comment that Carswell made. I mean, the kid is innocent until proven guilty, right? What if your "evidence" don't add up to those of authority the way you have decided it does? Then he's found innocent. If he's not proven guilty of murder, then it is those on this site that have slandered calling him a murderer that could then be in trouble.

What if it was an accident? What if because of your grief and hurt you are taking circumstantial evidence and twisting it to match your ideas, just to help you place blame? Will you EVER be able to forgive? I don't mean forget, because that will never happen. But if you don't let go of some of the anger and hate inside of you, is that really what you feel your son would want for you? It's not what I would want for my parents, I know that.

I'm subscribed to the email updates and there has been nothing for weeks then my phone is blowing up with email updates! Anyway, once again, Mr. Taylor, you have confused me. I read the new posts and your response leaves me with a couple of questions.
Your statement of "involuntary manslaughter is MURDER!!!!!!". Are you saying that after all this yelling for justice, the boy was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter? Just wondering, since this is the first I've heard of something specific. Most of the time, it's just "the murderer". Where is this coming from? I thought that just a couple weeks ago, your son's case had supposedly been reopened. I feel like I'm missing something, once again.
Secondly, Alimac's posts spoke of slander, threats, and stalking. You all know how I feel about the slander, but I didn't know there was stalking. What was VERY interesting is that you responded with "Stalking......really? Why stalking? Because I go to a Woodland High School varsity baseball practice? Really? So I can not go and watch some if my former players, friends of the family, and friends of my son practice?" Now why in the world would you respond with a specific example? Who said anything about a Woodland H.S. varsity baseball practice? You don't think you are stalking, but you know exactly what Alimac is talking about? And you say everyone else has a guilty conscience??
I told you before, I am REALLY struggling trying to follow this. Please fill in the blanks?

Veronica Taylor

6:48 pm on Friday, March 1, 2013

This is Big Rob again. So to hear what you are saying correctly Alimac........you basically want my family to stay inside and never go out into public again!!!! Because it might upset the other family to see us? That we should never mention our son again or the horrendous mis justice that he suffered and we live daily!!!!! So what you are saying is that we are the criminals for wanting justice? They are the victims for what reason? I am unclear as to how they are the victims in this case!!!! We will not hide anymore!!!! We will not worry if someone else is uncomfortable anymore!!!! We will carry on our son's legacy!!! We will continue to be his voice!!!!! Say what you want think what you want!!!!

The article said that the DA's office filed charges in September. 2 years after the fact. That was 6 months ago. Surely it's over by now right? But you say that you all are WANTING justice. Is it not over or was there a verdict that you don't agree with?

Mr. Carswell, I can fill you in. I know both of the families and have for quite some time. I'll elaborate more later, but I can tell you that not everything you're reading here is true. There's a lot that is being ignored and not mentioned. I've followed this article from the beginning and I'm getting a little tired of sitting back and watching this. I agree with you that it is downright slander. BOTH Lil Rob and the other boy are near and dear to my heart and my kids' hearts. Both sets of parents are actually wonderful people normally. Rob and Veronica have been through a lot and its horrible to see them in pain, but enough is enough! Trust me Mr. Carswell, there is A LOT of real facts that are being intentionally left out on here.

It's like every other page is missing from this story or something! Lol. That being said, I would be careful and use some discretion in what you say. You're going to get bashed pretty good from this crowd. The reason your name is such a big deal is so that you can be publicly shamed. I, for one, would love to hear what you have to say so if you'd rather email I completely understand. I get it that you weren't really talking to me, but just throwing that out there!

No Carswell it is still not over!!!! One of the charges pending is involuntary manslaughter. But no it is very much not over!!!! Oh, by the way, this is Mr. Taylor. One day Carswell I will sit down with you and tell you everything but right now I truly can not!! I was responding to Alimac about the threats and stalking!!!!! We have not ever made a threat towards that family but they go around telling everyone that we are constantly!!!! As far as their claim of stalking and why I brought up the baseball practice? I picked up a family member up from track practice and then stopped off to take a look at baseball practice next thing I know there are certain people saying because I watched a few minutes of practice that I am stalking!!!! Carswell one day I promise to tell you all so that you are not confused!!!! So that you do not have to piece my rebuttals to others together!!!!! But no it is not over!!! No there has not been any threats! And No there is nor ever was any stalking!!

Rob, this is why you can't get anything done. You're too busy setting yourself up for failure! Did you really just announce the charge of involuntary manslaughter for God and everyone to see? Isn't the case still open? In JUVENILLE Court? not to mention a Closed hearing? Who told you anyways? I guess the only people that could have is the prosecutor, but i bet they don't know that you're ruining their case for them if the judge or the other lawyer found out that you're on here telling everyone! Kind of like your post to the Sheriff. Hmmm...I wonder why he wasn't open and receptive to you. It's kind of like someone knocking on your door, you open the door and they kick you in the nuts and expect you to be okay with it. Not to mention the fact that you already told him in that same office while the case was still open that you didn't want them to press any kind of charges. Yeah, I know about that. Strangely enough I didn't even hear it from the other family! I heard it from a deputy after y'all got kicked out of his office for acting a fool. Veronica was right, some of them are pretty nice guys. When he told me, we had a good laugh about it too.

We have stayed home afraid to go out to functions that our son's friends have invited us to because we did not want to run into the other family!! But we will not live in hiding anymore! We are not the criminals and we are tired of that family trying to portray us as the criminals!!! But yes one day Carswell I will fill in all of the blanks for you!!! When this is truly over!!

TT, the words above what I am posting are yours, and since you claim to know that things are being left out why don't you enlighten us? The Taylor family has in NO WAY threatened the other family, the Taylors in NO WAY have stalked the other family,the Taylor family has done nothing but asked for JUSTICE for their son that was MURDERED, do I believe that this is MURDER? YES! Do I consider the other parents negligent?YES! Do I consider myself to be an expert?NO, but I do know that without proof that the Taylor family would NOT ask that the case be reopened! It makes me sick for people to say that the young man that took the life of Lil Rob to say that he is suffering just how is he suffering?

"It was a terrible accident...but I know the other boy's family and I know it was an accident. I grieve for the death of the handsome young man. However, I can't help wondering, "What if your boy had held the weapon and been on the other end of this horrific event? Their pain wouldn't have caused them to try to ruin your lives. They are forgiving people. What good will you accomplish with the slandering you've done in Cartersville? Will your son return? Would he be proud of your crucifiction of his best friend? Are you trying to push the boy who's alive to suicide or will running a good family out of town be enough? The boy who's alive has been struggling to deal with his part in the death of his best friend. He suffers every day as do his parents and their parents. The investigators got it right the first time. It was an accident. Hating, slandering, stalking...all ungodly and unproductive, cancerous."

Alimac, Since you claim to know this was a "terrible accident" why don't you enlighten the rest of the readers since you know so much? Were you there when Lil Rob was MURDERED? If you were then why didn't you try to stop it? Why didn't you call the police? The family that you know is "forgiving?" That is an amazing! People that spread lies like the other family is doing doesn't seem to forgiving to me!! This aggravates me ! Alimac until you want to be honest maybe its best if you say nothing!

Kim, do you have an answer to my questions yet? You got quiet for a while. Refer to my post on Feb 8. The more I read from you the more I'm convinced you didn't even know little rob. You are nothing more than hypocritical hot air who jumped on this bandwagon because you're nothing more than a chameleon. Blending in because you don't have your own identity. We've already established that YOU weren't there either. I keep hearing the claims of lies being spread by the other family and their supporters. So far, nothing here is credible either. All we hear is theoretical "facts" with no backbone to them at all. That's not a fact. And you, of all people, have been so far from believable that its literally funny. Alimac states that she knows the family and has for quite some time. See how when she says that it sounds way more believable than you? You may have known the Taylor family for a long time, but I doubt it. Realize that this is a PUBLIC forum and that it doesn't matter if you like what is being said or not. Like I said before, if you don't want to hear it then it seems way easier for all of you to start a Facebook group or something. What's the purpose of saying all of this publicly if all you do is bash ignorantly? You make some bold public statements Ms Jacobson. Key word: public.

Mr/Mrs Taylor thank you for your offer to explain. The only bad part about that right now is that I've heard that for months. It leads me to question the validity of it all. I mean the case was already closed for 2 years, then got reopened for the last 6 months (I think I have the timeline right). Through all of this, you claim to have these clear cut facts. How is all this possible? It simply doesn't take that long to get pure truths out there. It seems like there may be some sound theories that made someone take a second look, but facts aren't this hard to prove. This looks like a lot of digging trying to make something be there. And if the truth that you say you have is so real, and that's what you're trying to expose, why do you think that the content and tone of your comments on here are the best way to convey your message? Come on guys, you can't possibly believe that. You want public awareness and support right? If so, that means getting attention for the right reasons, not coming off to a stranger like myself as a hurt, broken family who has lost all self control and is lashing out randomly in addition to crucifying a boy who has already been innocent once basically, and hasn't been found guilty legally since the case has been reopened. Personal feelings aside, "supporters" like Ms Jacobson come off as a lynch mob member. Not helping you cause. Consider that.

Still trying to figure it all out!!

I am however friends with Mr.& Mrs. Taylor and as for your assumptions about me they make you look like an ASS!!! You claim that I just jumped on this bandwagon because Iam a "hypocritical hot air" and a "chameleon" I beg to differ with you but then again you wouldnt be man enough to meet me in public and say that to my face! As I have said before people like you are the reason that this county is in the shape its in you talk about people before even knowing them! Have you ever met me Mr.Carswell? I would say not and if you had I must have told you what a jerk you were then too!! Until you can say something honest about me it might just be best if you keep your comments about me to yourself!! As for wanting JUSTICE for Lil Robs murder you are right I will keep fighting for that JUSTICE for Lil Rob!!As for me being a lynch mob member lets get real Im not the one questioning the parents of the MURDERED child!! What don't you understand about that all the facts will come out?? why are you so persistent in having to know everything? Just be patient... oh yeah thats right you don't understand that word!!!

So to be clear: you're saying that you didn't just jump on the bandwagon right? You still ignored my question but ill simplify it for you - Did you ever meet little Rob? Did you even know the Taylor's before the accident? You see, Michelle had very strong opinions and facts too, but if you read above, you'll see that she had never even met the Taylor's at the time she was making her statements. I think you are like that too. You have been told something by someone you don't know and ran with it. It's not like you have any history with any part of the issue and can make an educated statement about it. If you'll notice, I've asked plenty of questions in an attempt to understand it all better. And I think the Taylor's appreciate that. They want public awareness for their cause. They want productive support. You are clearly not doing that. Now they are by default associated with people like you who make ignorant, hateful comments that hinder them. THAT is what I was pointing out. It is perfectly fine for people to ask questions and state opinions. That actually helps their cause! It's called educating the public. But you just can't shut your mouth long enough for it to happen can you? Ever wonder why they have been very active on a public website that now has over 200 comments? To get their story out! Now do us ALL a favor and be slow to open your mouth.

My family is being slandered right now...TT saying we have made terrible threats? Not true...I say prove it! It can't be done because it has never happended. I would say a lot of people on here are talking only about what they heard from others...I am sorry but that other family has never shown us any compassion or empathy that our son was dead. They have never told us they were sorry and from the beginning they have taken up a position that has stunned me...a position that we are the criminals and they are the victims...you see, as soon as my son was dead, there only concern was themselves...They have told people so many lies...and now we hear, from the BCSO, that we are stalking them...untrue again...I feel they are extremely paranoid. Paranoid people generally have something to hide. The truth about what was going on the that house the day my son was killed has not come out, you wonder why it has taken so long. Guess what? So do we..I have come to find out and have proof that the BCSO is and has conspired to hide evidence in this case. Why? I wished I knew, my son didn't matter anymore, he was dead to them. I will continue to fight for the truth....I'm sorry all your questions aren't answered, but neither are mine

Wait a minute. Are you seriously saying that I am the one vilifying you and anyone who supports you? I don't agree with your methods and I feel that the way you broadcast your message is wrong. That doesn't mean that I don't agree with you though. I have asked questions for my own personal understanding. What you are saying is that you could care less how people in the general public think about this? If that is true, then WHY ARE YOU POSTING HERE??? Because you have a right? You do have a right to post here including your opinions of right and wrong. Guess what? So do I. And read the comments all over again and you'll see who is doing the bashing. So I guess that me trying to learn more about what you are screaming about is pointless. So I'll just state my opinion and not care how it makes you feel. I'm seriously respecting the other family right now for the sole reason that they aren't participating in this garbage. Read your comments. You don't need anyone to vilify you. They speak for themselves. It's kind of funny how you and the deputy laughed like old buddies. Isn't his boss the sheriff who is "out to get you"? So which is it? Oh I bet it's one of those deals where when you agree with it, you laugh it up. God help that deputy if you didn't. He'd be getting blasted on here as we speak.
I never said one thing to vilify you. Not one thing.

James...first of all, I was speaking generally when I said all the other people on here are vilifing us. You are taking it much too personally...The funny thing is what those other people are saying about my family. Not all police are corrupt like Sheriff Milsapp, and others involved in hiding evidence in my son's case. It's how I feel. If you feel all this is garbage then why are you still here? You have to understand that we can speak what we have been through and what we believe all day every day, to keep the focus, my son was shot in the face, his memory is being bashed by the other family by telling people they were playing with the gun, my son never touched the gun, that is and will be proven, also the focus on the fact that the boy never showed US any remorse for what happened to Rob, the fact that the other family right after Rob was killed, refused to speak with us, vilifing us to everyone they know. Mr. Carswell, we took it,for quit some time, then we stopped and started getting questions answered, do I rant at times..yes. I am a grieving mother whom misses her son more than llife. My son was a good boy! He was a joker, he loved his family and God. He derserved for his memory to not be twisted by their lies. Think about this.just because we asked them to look into charges the case, do you think they would have done it just to appease us? NO. Little Rob deserved and would have wanted Justice for his death!!

It's not slander because it's true? Turns out your partly right Veronica. BUT both slander and libel fall under defamation.
Defamation- the act of defaming; false or UNJUSTIFIED injury of the good reputation of another, as by slander or libel; calumny: She sued the magazine for defamation of character.

Libel-
1. Law.
a. defamation by written or printed words, pictures, or in any form other than by spoken words or gestures.
b. the act or crime of publishing it.
c. a formal written declaration or statement, as one containing the allegations of a plaintiff or the grounds of a charge.
2. anything that is defamatory or that maliciously or damagingly misrepresents.

Dictionary.com It doesnt take a rocket scientist to figure this one out! Oh and remember that bill GA passed not too long ago that was all in the news? The cyber-bullying one (particularly against minors)? Mr. Carswell posted some links a while back. Read it and you'll see that you don't even have to say the person's name for your comments to be illegal.

How do you figure that you are being slandered against?

So basically if the boy is found guilty of anything less than Murder, then you're in the wrong since you say over and over thats what he is.

You act like someone is picking on you! Everyone and I mean EVERYONE feels horrible for you.I'm far from ignorant on this. All I wanted was for the crucifixion to stop. You can feel whatever I don't care. I have just sat long enough and you know good and well that there's more missing truth than what you're letting on. You know good and well why the other family felt afraid. And you know good and DAMN well that YOU told them to stay away. what are they supposed to do? I'm not asking you to feel sorry for them or anything like that. Don't be. And the reason I'm not giving my name is because I don't want them to know I'm doing this. They have demanded that their friends not put themselves in the middle of it.The last thing they heard from you was to stay away and don't contact you. Now how in the hell are they supposed to show you their sorrow? "That boy" is devastated. You once loved him I know you don't now but don't you dare sit there and act like he's some happy going cold blooded killer! When you say he's at "parties", he's with his youth group that is his ONLY escape. I know because I've got 2 kids in there with him.You've even managed to affect him at school. His math teacher didn't have a problem with him until you spread your hate to her. So she kicked him out of her class because she admitted she couldn't be unbiased. And still I have to come on here as "TT" so they won't get mad at me for sticking up for them. I hope all these comments made you feel better in life.

TT..this is Veronica...Since you want to use names so bad..all but your own...You say the last they heard from us was us telling them to say away? Not true...I have the messages of conversations of myself with Melissa aka Brandy, with me begging her to tell me what happened the day my son was killed...so your lieing..another thing..you say I threatened the boy? I did...I threatened him that I was going to find out the truth about what happened...never anything more than that as I would have been arrested if I had. You want your half truth to be told, then tell it all!! Those people call the cops if we look their way...wouldn't we have been arrested if we had or have done anything criminal? Let's keep the focus TT...This is and always has been about getting the truth about what happened the day Rob was shot in the face!! They, Matt, Melissa and "that boy" have not told the truth...and NO we will not stop until we get it!! Also, JUSTICE under the laws that we live in...there are laws against pointing a gun at someone...it's common sense that the gun was being pointed according to my son's autopsy report. "That boy" has never taken accountability or responsibility for taking Rob's life..at least not to US....you can spout whatever you want about slander and stalking and whatever you want, it matters not to us. We have taken our position since right after Rob died and we will stick with it until we have the information we seek and justice is done. This is about Little Rob's life!

"you say I threatened the boy? I did...I threatened him that I was going to find out the truth about what happened"-Veronica Taylor

So you don't think that following him, seeking him out, then walking straight up to him and saying that is threatening, harassing, or stalking? O I'm sure he felt perfectly safe!!! It's not like some crazed woman that he knows has one hell of a grudge against him just walked up to him and issued a threat. To a 14 year old by the way! Yeah I do think you would have been arrested. I actually begged them to report it. They chose not to. Yeah, that sounds like some cold hearted people huh?

For the love of God, please, please stop!!! This is NOT something that is right in any way to do this on Cartersville freaking patch for everyone to see. Kids are already threatening him at school. Why? Because you're a jerk and a shadow of who your son knew. He is scared to go out in public. Why? Because you and Veronica stared him down the whole time. Last year Veronica even approached him and threatened him. As far as I'm concerned, if ANYTHING happens to him because of these comments, it's your conscience that should take the hit. I'm putting in a request with Brande to get an official copy of this whole article. If the boy decides its more than he can take, I'm sending it to every cop in this county and every news station. You also need to remember that there are 4 members of that family, not just the 3 you're mad at.

Try to get the public on their side? How did you get that out of what I said? I thought I was pretty clear that I was trying to get it OUT of public! Why would they need the public anyway? What can the public do for them? You have used words like "we won't stop until we get justice" and "we will get justice one way or another". To me, that sounds an awful lot like a threat. Someone asked earlier, and you ignored it, what those words mean IF the courts don't rule in your favor? So let's hear it. What does that mean?
I said I'd show the cops and tv if your words and intimidation cause that boy to try to harm himself. And you responded with "We do not care!!!!!" Just to get it all out there, you're saying you could care less what happens to him as long as "justice" has been served. That right? That's what you're saying. My God, you really need help.

Justice aside...as a family we remember Little Rob daily...not just for what happened to him but also for the person he was and still is in our family...he never came in or left a room without saying I Love You...a hug and a kiss on the cheek...he enjoyed playing ball of any kind but baseball was his LOVE...his obsession with popcorn!!...oh how he loved making trips to see his Great-Granny Ross...so many more memories that we have that out shadows anything bad someone can say about my family...Little Rob was and is so very much loved and missed...he had a great life ahead of him...many events that we will never get to experience ...what society needs to understand is WE have a right to remember Little Rob..the good and the bad...and to talk about him to anyone that will listen...We will continue praising him and grieving for the life that was taken him..his family and his friends...he was a 3rd generation Taylor...the bluest of eyes that run in our family ...our family will forever grieve the loss of him and will forever remember the life he lived...that's what is important...we pray for God's guidance and peace...but at the same time we pray for justice for him also...better gun laws to save other families from having to endure this kind of pain that can be prevented!

TT so you want me to know that that there is four family members effected from their family, the other family!!!! Do I need to count how many of Lil Rob's family members that are directly effected by the other family's negligence? Lil Rob's family members loved him and they were loved by him too!!!! He had sisters, neices, cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandparents that live with our loss daily!!!! You want me to have sympathy for the other family? They see their son daily!!!! Their gross negligence is the reason my son is not here!!! He has no voice because of them!!!! I am his voice!!! It is a blatant lie that I asked for no charges!!! That in itself shows that you,tt, have no clue what you are talking about!!! So continue to make your ridiculous claims!!!! I can rebutt them all!!!! Go ahead and try to get the public to treat them as the victim.....that is what they have been trying to do since day one!!! They want us to be treated lime the criminals because we want justice for our son!!!! Tt, you make me sick to my stomach!!!! You are someone that hides behind a false name and gives factless opinions!!!! How would you act if it had been your child? I bet not so damn high and mighty as you do now!!!! Big Rob. I am not afraid to use my real name nor am I afraid of your opinions!!! But atleast get your facts straight!!! You never knew my family and must not have ever knew my son!!!! He is proud that his family is fighting for him!!!!

you know damn well what I meant about the 4 members in that family. And nobody is debating whether your son's death was horrible. Stop trying to make it look that way. But that still doesnt make what youre doing right. You seriously hold it against them for the simple fact that their son is alive? Really?

Haven't checked email in a couple days, but it looks like there has been a lot of activity here! Mr. Taylor, thank you for seeing that I am asking my questions to educate myself, not bash you. But what happened here? I saw the total number of comments is way lower now. As it turns out, my old buddy Michelle's comments are gone. Now debating ethics with her is why I originally commented and the last I heard anything about her was from her friend named Bartow Pride. In my email updates, that person made this post that is now gone: "What the he!!? I just got this boy's family member names in my email. I am OUT. You can't DO THAT! Veronica, I've been supporting the reopening of the case so any evidence you wanted to be looked at could be looked at, but what you just posted here is crazy. I'm out." I am specifically directing this post to Michelle/Bartow Pride. I'd like to know how you think that you can say all that you said (which I bluntly disagreed with) and then say that? Here's the funny thing Michelle, I saved this page as an offline webpage a little while back to read on a flight for a business trip. I do it quite a bit, as I'm not really a book person. The Taylor family wants transparency. So I'll throw in my 2 cents to that cause because its a two way street. I tend to think that you get what ive been saying, at least I hope you do. I'll post a link to that copy of this web page shortly.

Mr/Mrs Taylor and T.T.- while you both have valid points, there were a lot of questions answered. Im going to stay out of thay one! lol. I honestly feel sorry for both families and specifically both boys. Me asking questions gives you an opportunity to raise public awareness. Thanks for seeing that. However, Mrs Taylor, I'm going to respectfully decline your request to leave Mrs Jacobson alone. I don't feel that she is trying to accomplish anything. You are, and I'm trying to, but its comical how I knew what you told me - she became friends AFTER. She has no vested interest just like me. I am at least making an attempt to not be an ignorant supporter of either side. I don't like sheep.

But T.T., you wrote what might be the most disturbing thing on this thread. A teacher, who refused a student? you all want to talk about epidemics and preventable problems in this county? Look no further than that statement! It's horrible that a school teacher, at a public funded high school, would refuse a student under any circumstances. Does anyone know what happened to her? I'd love to know the details of that one! Just trying to wrap my head around it makes me sick!

I can 100% gaurantee you that what I said about the teacher is true. Yes she still works there. She got a verbal warning and nothing more. we all know that the boy goes to woodland. she is a geometry teacher there. its funny that Rob and Veronica don't believe it happened because she said it was because she "couldn't be unbiased and his parents wouldn't even want me teaching him if they knew how close I am to the Taylors". True Story. Sad and Pathetic!!!

Carswell, this is Big Rob. I do see that you are just trying to get answers! Answers that Tt has no clue about!! She said that she goes to church with them so tells all of us that the only information she is getting is from the other family!!! As far as the teacher, this is the first that we have heard of this!!! Which leads me to believe that it is a lie!!!! As are most words that came out of Tt's mouth!!! There has been no threats!!! No stalking!!! Just ignorant people like her that wants to spread lies about us!!!! I never asked for there to be no charges sought after!!!! Blatant lie!!!!! Carswell one day I will be able to tell you everything!!!! I wonder if Tt lets her kids spend the night with the other family? For her to ask what would happen if my son had been the one still alive is so appalling!!! My son is dead because of their negligence!!! Tell you what Tt what would you do if your child was the one dead? Since you sit in the bleachers and try and coach the game!!!! That is in all reality what you are.....a sidelines coach!!!!! But Tt you did not know my son so do not ever talk about him as if you did!!!!! And yes Carswell I do see that you are trying to see the truth with only the bits and pieces that are on this site!!!!

If a teacher had done something like that don't you think the other family would have broadcast it everywhere they could? Kinda like all the lies about threats and stalking? There is no truth just pitiful ways to get sympathy!!!! They want everyone to feel sorry for them!!! Tt if they were so scared of us then why did they move within 5 miles of us after it happened? Why did they put their son in the school where so many of my son's friends attended? But now they want sympathy? They are the criminals folks!!!! They were the negligent parents!!!! We are the ones that lost a amazing son!!!! Because of them!!! Do not lose sight of that folks!!!!!

Goodness gracious in the morning! Mr. Taylor, forgive me, but it seems to me as though it is you and your wife that are turning this charade into so much more than your son's life. The other family has not once made a comment on here spewing hate towards any of you, but that's all you have done. You've reduced yourselves to stating names, and discussing/naming the charges against the boy. Nothing like the smell of a impending lawsuit in the morning!

Carswell, I want to know more about the teacher, also. Please share, tt.

As far as the threats, first off, alls you got to do is read the comments you put on here. There's threats all over the place. Subtle ones, maybe, but still there. You can't just say that you'll make sure their lives are never the same and that you'll never go away then expect noone to think anything about you hanging out at their son's baseball practice. I don't have a genius iq or nothing, but I'm going out on a limb to say that you probably weren't very friendly when you were there, were you?
If your son was as good a kid as you say, then I wouldn't think he'd be proud right now. You say he was a loving child, so shouldn't you be spreading more love than hate to make him proud?

100% agree with you on the teacher. They are public servants, paid by public funding, and have a code of ethics that MUST be followed. As a taxpaying citizen with kids that go to public schools, and another who will soon, this is something that better be unacceptable for the school board. Even comparing it to the Taylor's situation, its horrible that a grown adult public worker, whose ONLY job is to do anything they can to help a child succeed would kick a student out of their class. The student, legally, is not guilty of a crime until a court says otherwise. Even if he were, if the school board allows him to go to school, the teacher can't do this! What other students does this teacher have a problem with? T.T. please tell me that you know this to be fact, and if it is, that this teacher is no longer being counted on to educate OUR kids!!

Here's an idea Mr. Taylor- you and your family obviously want justice for your son, but you also say that justice will make a difference in other kids' lives. The teacher claim, if true, falls into the same main issue here. This county has problems that kids are suffering for. That teacher makes kids suffer when this happens. I doubt that it was just a 1 time thing. Are you against this? I would think that the betterment of kids' lives is a goal you are passionate about. If you knew this claim to be fact, would you speak out against that teacher? It would sell your point to skeptics.

That's like saying you drink moonshine not to get drunk, but because you enjoy the flavor or like to feel the burn. What's the online petition about? Did you just make up the names that signed it so noone else would get involved? You are on here day in and day out screaming that this boy is a murderer and that everyone should be afraid of letting their kids around him, but you don't want noone else to get involved.

But a few posts back, you gave the other family's names. They could be completely wrong for all I know, but where are they public record? Also, do you have a copy or the files?

Understand one thing...this case was closed for almost 2 years, during that time all information was pubic record...during that time we got lots of information, and yes we do have the file with the other families names, not the boy, but the family. We are not the only people that have those files...many newspaper agencies have them and others I will not go into. I spouted their names because all you guys want to use ours!! They are not juviniles....and it is public record. There looks like there will be lots of sueing going on, those people have slandered us since the beginning and we've taken it, hence this and other articles I have had published...this is Veronica, I am tired of being victimized by those people, the sheriff's dept. and all you...This is and always has been about the truth about what happened in that house the day my son was SHOT IN THE FACE! This is about justice under the laws we live in.This is about taking accountability and responsibility for taking a PRECIOUS LIFE! This is about Little Rob..and all you who try to say you know what my son would have wanted, I laugh in your face!! We knew him, we raised him, we knew he would want the truth about what happend to him to be known and we will not rest until it is done. If saying that we wont stop until the truth is revealed and justice is done, if that is threatening, sorry you feel that way but it's no threat, it's a promise. We will adhere to what the courts say, but they haven't spoken yet, but they will.

Mrs. Taylor, back up a second. I'm trying to process what you just posted. You have the files? But they don't have the boy's name? How do the police report and investigation files not have his name? Still don't see how you got them. I'm certain that there's something like HIPPA laws or something. But here is where it gets a little wild for me. You've given them to news agencies? I don't even know what to say to that. I can't speak for others but I called you by your names because you gave them. I still can't get anyone here to tell me where the other family did the same. When you said it earlier it was the first I've seen them. I don't think that even the other family can make the files public because at the end of the day it will ruin and hinder a minor. Am I missing something here?

We have had to find our own evidence because of the horrible job that the BCSO has done!!!! They pick and choose what case they want to work on!!!! You guys are so gung ho on jumping on a teacher but what about a publicly elected sherriff that buries evidence? As far as you Morris, you are nothing but a person that complains about the coaching as you sit back in your recliner watching the game!!!!! You have nothing to lose so you throw your comments around as if they actually mean something!!!! Do us all a favor and stay retired!!!! You are just a sad person that has nothing better to do but comment on things that you have no knowledge of!!!! Carswell asks questions to be better informed!!! You on the other hand Morris just vomit at the mouth!!! Morris, if it had been your child that had been MURDERED would you still be so liberal with your opinions?

You have said something about text messages. Is that what you mean when you say you've had to find your own evidence? Is that all you've uncovered that differs from the investigation? I'm just thinking that there is some criteria that makes evidence useable or unusable. Don't have a clue what determines which, but I know it exists.

For the record, if you were wronged because of a lack of investigation by the authorities, then yes, I'm completely in agreement. Same situation as the teacher. If the teacher situation is real, you're going to speak out against the teacher? That's honorable of you.

Well, at least two of us are getting a good laugh right now. Why is it that since I point out your inconsistencies in your "theory" then I'm considered vomiting at the mouth? If I wasn't vomiting at the mouth, where would I be vomiting from? I digress...

Do you have a dictionary handy? Because if so, you may want to look at the definitions of involuntary manslaughter and murder, then compare them. If that boy is found guilty of involuntary manslaughter, then that's not the same as murder and you might just find yourself knee-deep in some chicken poop. Involuntary means not on purpose, murder is on purpose. If the evidence shows involuntary to those of legal authority, then you better get yourself a shovel for that poop.

Here's what I'm getting at Mr Taylor,how did you get the file? Also, overall it sounds like you're more mad at BCSO than you are at the boy and his family. I guess that makes sense, since they were pretty much powerless then and certainly are now. I'm just saying that if I broke the speed limit today, but the authorities didn't do anything to me, then what am I supposed to do? Write myself a speeding ticket? How about 2 1/2 years later? See what I mean? Yeah if you believe you've been wronged, be mad at who you feel didn't hold him accountable. But whipping him isn't going to make any difference. He can't punish himself is all I'm trying to say.

But as far as everything you say Morris....you really are just trying to start shit. But we've waded through so much shit these last 2 years yours is laughable. Say what you want sir...again, this is about a boy whom took a life, my son's life, and has never shown us any remorse or compassion or even empathy. He and his family took a position from the beginning that got us here today. I believe if he had shown us some compassion and remorse then we would never had questioned anything and then we wouldn't have found those infamous txt messages on our son's phone, messages that prove there was much more going on then that boy said....i find myself trying to make you understand why we are at the place we are at but I don't know why....you really aren't that important in the whole sceme of things, but with everybody bashing us for wanting to know what happened to our child is just something out of the twilight zone....but, it won't stop us, we will see this to the end, no matter the outcome.

I am working to get Rob's story all over America, I believe my son's civil right's were violated by the Sheriff's dept. Those people have slandered us all over town since right after my son was killed. There is a big story here and there are lots of people interested....Rob will be remembered for who he was not the lies that have been told about him playing with the gun! I will not let my son's memory be maligned by those people any longer...you may not understand, but those records were public and once they are then they are open records..as far as the boys name, they had it blacked out on the reports I have...We are the victims in this case not them, I worry not about ruining that boy...he has taken no responsibility for his actions, too bad his parents didn't teach him he needed to take responsibility for his actions in life, he took a life, he needs to take accountability and if you people don't see that then so sorry and I hope you are never in our shoes, since you dont know what you would do, I promise you, unless you walk in our shoes, do not judge our path. That's what you all are doing is judging us without knowing what we know, just remember, my son was the victim, not that boy!

Well of course I'm assuming that! What other files could there have been? Still don't think it was public information and don't know how you got them. Tell you what, if the files are public, then how might I get a copy? If they are public and have been for 2 years, why won't you tell us what's in them? According to you, it shouldn't matter since its been public for years now. Do you really not see that this contradicts itself?

"I worry not about ruining that boy...he has taken no responsibility for his actions, too bad his parents didn't teach him he needed to take responsibility for his actions in life"

FINALLY some truth! You know you're doing everything you can to ruin him and you don't care. Theres nothing he can do that will make you feel better! See why they don't feel safe? Because you know you aren't going to get what you think you want at the end of the case and then what happens? It's funny they get such a bad rep for supposedly treating you so bad. for YEARS, everytime i saw them, your son was right there with them. Don't forget that side of the story.

Carswell, this is Big Rob. In due time you as will everyone know the evidence that we have had to fight, dig, and uncover!We have fought against the BCSO every step of the way!They have tried to bury my son's case right beside him! Carswell, you have been the only one on this public thread that has been about learning the truth as we have been about getting it out thereYou will have to have a little patience as we have for almost 3 years!We have had to fight for every scrap of evidence we have and at this moment we can not let it be known! We have had to rebuke people like Morris and Tt! They are just people sitting in the stands trying to coach the game from the bleachers! Until they walk a day in our shoes they are and always were nobodies that feel they can say what they want!Unless you can tell me what you would do if it was your child that had died then shut up!Carswell, I will let you know when I can!As far as Tt and her allegations of threats, stalking, and such!If any of that was true I promise you that Millsaps would have already put us in jail! As far as the teacher, I believe that was another tatic to get sympathy!!As far as Morris and Tt, you guys are sad people that have nothing better but punish a family that lost a great son!Punish them for wanting justice for their son! Tt and Morris, I hope you feel good about yourself!Morris, go to school and get your law degree.....do you really think that you can take anything from us that has not already been taken?

Yeah I understand what you're saying, but it doesn't make sense. Here's why: if everything is public, then what's the point of it being secret? I would assume that it's because you want to guard it until you're ready to use it. But the thing is, that shouldn't make it have more of an impact. Secret or not, facts are indisputable. It's as simple as that. They can't be argued because they are 100% truth. So if that's the case, then why do you need the timing? Holding your cards close to the vest is smart because you don't know what the other person has and you don't want them to be able to counter it, which effectively cancels out what you have. But he thing is, if you have all the truth, then what can cancel that out? I would think that after over 2 years, that cat and mouse strategy would be long gone and that you would just smack everyone down with the truth that cannot be argued. I'm taking a shot in the dark here that you didn't get all of your info from the police investigation. So again, how did you get it? If its not able to be used in court then there's no point in hiding it. If it can, then isn't now the time? Once a verdict is handed down, that's it. It's over because of double jeopardy right? That should further let you know that you're being strategic for nothing. That's why I question how you got it. If it were admissible in a trial, I think you would have used it for your one shot. Doesn't make sense.

The case is finally on going!!! So with that being said that is why we can not divulge anything we have to the public right now!!!! We have fought tooth and nail to get to the point we are now!!! We fought against public opinion and publically elected officials!!!! We have had to rebuke people like Morris and Tt every turn we have made!!!!! In given time we will release what we know to the public!!!! But know this our son was MURDERED!!!!! He stood no chance!!!! We will not give up till the truth is known!!! Call that a threat or not!!! It does not matter!!! If the family was truly afraid of us they would not have moved less than 5 miles from us!!!!! If they were afraid of us they would not have put their son in the school where all of my son's friends attended!!!! Sue us!!!!! You can not take any more from us!!!! I lost my namesake because a I allowed him to spend the night at their house!!!! Take your best shot!!!! Sue us!!!! We will not stop!!!! You will get you questions answered when we can!!!!! Big Rob

The case is going on right now? So where is it at? 6 months ago, the article says that charges were made. Surely it's in court by now. And if the case is going on right now you are getting what you wanted. Why are we still talking about the last 2 years when the ball has been rolling for the last 6 months? I'd think that instead of being so upset, you would be loving life right now because you're getting what you fought so hard for!

Brande, when you wrote this article, you didn't use any of the names of the other family. Not the boy. Not the parents. Why didn't you? I guess what I'm asking is if you wanted to, could you have?

Veronica, you just twist it however you want don't you?

Is it not true that she was more than happy and wiling to meet with you to explain EVERYTHING, yet YOU were the one to CANCEL? I know about those messages too. she called me and she was so glad talk to you. I told her it was a bad idea to go unprotected, but she wouldn't hear of it, and said she had someone else going with her. She was willing to take a risk to help you find some peace and to try to resolve all of this!! BUT YOU CANCELED! Truth is they have been more than willing to come to you, but you have pushed them away. They requested the meeting you guys had at the church days after it happened. You want to talk about what happened in that house that day? Lets finish the day shall we? Go ahead Veronica, tell them what happened that made the boy and his family so afraid. Next tell everyone about how at the memorial on the field you were crying hugging him saying "it's okay baby. It was an accident." Yeah, he didn't act normal but thats called shock.

TT, since you seem to have so much information why don't you clue me into what the hell your talking about then you say for me to tell then what happend that made the boy and his family so afraid? What did make them so afraid? WE DON'T OWN GUNS LIKE THEY DO!!! Let's finish the day my son was killed shall we? You tell me since you seem to know everything, I'm thinking I'm talking to Matt or Melissa anyway since you know things only they would know, and yes, I can rebut them all, will I? Don't know yet but this is getting interesting for me..As far as me hugging the boy at the memorial, yep, I did, I also believed their lies at that time. It was because of the position they and the police took after which was to not tell us what happend, because of that we are here today....we had to search and investigate and our son is soooooo proud that we are not giving up!! He would have hated for people to think he was STUPID enough to play with a gun, especially since I had just talked to him, 3 days before, about guns. I made him and his best friend, NOT THAT BOY, promise me that if they were in a room and someone brought a gun out that they would leave the room!!! He promised....There is so many things that you all don't know. But to you TT...say what you want. We want justice under the laws we live in, we want the truth to be known and nothing you can do will stop this media blast that we have going on....it's going to go on even bigger than the patch!!

Oh Veronica, you can be assured that you are not talking to either of those two. Trust me, I'm not a big enough person to show you the patience that they show you. Yeah, over the course of 2 1/2 years they have shared some with their friends. I told you before, I know you! You act like you haven't been spouting off for going on 3 years then say I sure do know a lot? Do you even comprehend the English language anymore? But no, I'm not either of them, and if I was my words would sound much more severe.

Rob, you were there too remember? I even overheard you say that he "had to live life for Rob too now" and "I want us to heal together". That's not second-hand info right there. I heard it while I was waiting in line to hug you. There's so much more that it would take hours to type it all. Bottom line is: they didn't vilify you, YOU villified you. YOU shut them out, not the other way around. Neither you nor Big Rob just "look their way" and YOU KNOW IT! You stare him down to intimidate him, you WANT him to fear you! I change my name, again, because the other family have been adamant about not smearing your name throughout the public.

Oh, and the ONLY reason you weren't arrested when you first threatened the boy, was once again, because the other family didn't want you to be. They requested that you only be told to leave them alone.

By the way, I don't go to their church. My kids are in the youth group there. I'm not trying to make the public have pity on them. I don't want the public to hate you. I tried to get it out of public. If youre hell bent on doing it though, tell the whole story. Funny part is that even as of yesterday when i saw them dropping "the boy" off for youth, I asked them if they were mad at you. I figured they'd say yes. Nope. They both said they loved you. I don't understand it after all this, but they have never said anything otherwise. Now go ahead and rebut me and carry on with your public crucifixion. I'm done.

TT...Those people have villified us by telling people they fear for there lives!! We have stated over and over again that we would never physically hurt any of them in any way!!! One of the Ten Commandments is Thou Shall Not Kill....we would do NOTHING to hamper us getting to be with our son again. We are not violent people and want nothing but what the justice system says....I am soooooo tired of those people telling people we have threatened them, that we are stalking them because they see us at a baseball field, like we have no right to be at one now that Rob is dead! We have stayed away from functions because of them and their perceptions, well no more. We will try to go on with our lives and baseball has always been a big part and it will be again, we will not stay away and sorry if they don't like it...I think it's funny that you think they have so much power over the BCSO, oops, sorry, I forgot they are friends with the Sheriff and Rogers, so what, if I had threatened the boy like you say, I would have been arrested, my exact words to that boy was, " ***** I know you are lieing about what happened to Rob. I am going to find out the truth and prove you are lieing." That is is exact words I used, the threat was to expose the truth. If they could have had me arrested they would have as the cops showed up to my house after..they don't have as much power as you seem to think. The BSCO would arrest me on anything they could get about now, they wouldn't shy away from it.

I beg to differ. If I was the subject matter of which you speak on here, then I would feel threatened. I can't imagine walking out of my house without looking over my shoulder. If you feel this much hate towards them that you would make all of these comments, then how easy is it going to be for you to snap?

I've served in war. I've seen good men do some bad things to people they love as a result of their mental status after being in war. If you hate these people this much, do you really expect anyone to believe that you would do nothing to them if given even half the chance? I don't blame them one bit.

No one said they have power over the BCSO, but you. However, if they are the ones reporting the incident, they have the right to voice what they want the outcome to be. Just as you feel you have the right to voice your opinion of what you want the outcome to be for this boy.

If you want to be around baseball, go to another field. You want us to believe that you aren't stalking him/them, then why, out of all the hundreds of baseball fields around here, do you make the conscience choice to go to the ONE field that boy is at? You mean to tell me that you and your son don't know anyone else that plays baseball anywhere else? Truth is, you're looking for trouble. You're looking to intimidate and hurt, just like you are here with these comments.

How hard does that make you laugh in my face?

Morris...we will not go to another field, why should we? My husband coached several of those boys and we know them and their families. We want to see our boys play ball...why should we have to stay away just because the kid just got on the team? We did nothing wrong and are not trying to start anything but trying to start to live our lives again. We have stayed away from our boys for this long because of how it would make those people feel and it's not fair that my husband has to continue to be punished by having to stay away from the boys he coached!! All we did was send our son to their house, he never came home. So tired of people like you whom see us as the vilians...we have done nothing to those people. NOTHING. We will no longer hide away from our community, a community my son was deaply involved in, hence the naming of a baseball field after him! So think what you want, we will go to the games...the only thing we tried to "start" was finding out the truth as to what happend...Keeping the Focus: This is about Little Rob, this is about exposing corruption and lies, this is about justice under the laws we live in, ths is about better child access prevention laws so people will be held accountable if someone get's their loaded gun in their house and uses it to harm or kill themselves or someone else, this is about ACCOUNTABILITY AND RESPONSIBILITY. This is about ROBERT HARVELL TAYLOR III!! NO JUSTICE NO PEACE!! Say what you will sir...it is what it is. Sincerely, Veronica

Well actually there were 2 memorials for Little Rob...first was the candle light vigil (which was also on his ballfield )that his dad was not at because he had a mental breakdown the night he lost his son and spent a few days away...second..yes the memorial for his life was spent sharing his life with all that knew him... Yes family members spoke to the "other" family...but it was after that that the family found out there was more going on in that house than was being said...

But after that, what exactly did the family do or say again? And I'm sure that you're aware that rumors were flying all over the place for about the first 6 months or so, so keep in mind that half of what was heard by anyone was probably at least partly incorrect. I'm not talking about what happened in the house. I wasn't there. No one else was. I'm asking what the family did after that memorial that deserved all this? Rob and Veronica deserve better than this trash here too, quite frankly.

Yes, there was a meeting set up to talk....BUT I am the one that told Veronica to cancel because her emotions were not ready at the time to be face to face to Melissa...and when she was ready to talk with her...Melissa wanted to do it in front of her therapist and we were also given the excuse that that "boy" wasn't ready to tell about what happen that day so Melissa was going to sit down and talk about what he could...this was over a year after it happen...

back up a second. You cancelled the meeting because Veronica wasn't emotionally ready for it. I can see that. But why the tone when the "boy" is in the same situation? Has no one considered the ammount of shock and im sure PTSD that the boy was in? That lasts for years sometimes. Just because they are reacting by crying, doesn't mean it hasn't changed them. I think that BOTH families are still suffering from it. Not a doctor, but i think i would be.

Now I'm old and a little slow sometimes, so let me make sure my feeble mind has understood this correctly. Mr. and Mrs. Taylor are on here screaming over and over that they just want to know what happened that day. The mother of the other boy, willingly agrees to meet with Mrs. Taylor to fully explain everything, yet you and your wise counsel advise her to not do it and she listens to you? To make it worse, you advise her not to do it because of her emotions? She lost her son. Do you think those emotions are ever NOT going to be there? Again, I digress. So because Mrs. Taylor cancels due to her emotions, the other mother suggests doing it in front of Mrs.Taylor's therapist, which is where I thought a person should be if they are emotional. Can you please tell me where the other mother went wrong here? Seems to me that she tried more than once and that you have been given opportunities to find the truth, but you would rather have an emotional public hate-fest going on. It's almost as if you people are enjoying this in a sick way. You think all of this is what's going to keep your son's memory alive and not let anyone forget him? You're right, but they'll remember him for all the wrong reasons.

Ok, first off I don't think either family deserve any of this. My only goal here was to get this out of public. Both families have suffered for a long time now. This is not accomplishing anything and is more than boderline criminal. I understand what you want to know. How exactly is any of this or anything thats happened over the last 2 plus years going to accomplish that? The boy has been in therapy at least once a week since this happened. Since all this flared up again, 2-3 times a week. They don't want any of their friends getting on here and sticking up for them, but they really aren't going to be happy with this. I can't keep quiet anymore though. The "boy" has read this article and the comments. Think about that. That's horrible! There may be some legit questions that you all have, but knowing him, I don't think it was some vicious attack. He has always been known to be a gentle giant kid. Now any fears that this child had are now confirmed. He's never been the same, and now he has reason to feel terrified. Again, Rob was a GREAT kid. His parents are awesome people. Same can be said about the other family. This has to stop. How do you think they interpret all this? Maybe that's what you all want though. If so, Congrats. Yeah he is still here. yes his parents get to see him everyday. But he's a zombie. looks fine on the outside, but the inside is so badly beaten. That's not the "murderer" you all make him out to be.

What? How have I been volatile? You came on here asking me questions. I politely answered them, and explained in plain english my feelings and the reason why I'm on here to begin with. If you're talking about the content, I am not the one who dubbed him a murderer. Veronica is the one who said "I worry not about ruining that boy..." Is that easy to type but hard to hear or something? I can't see anything in my post that's volatile. Those things are wrong on human level. Come on now people, OBVIOUSLY, we all know that this is about Little Rob's tragic death. I gaurantee theres not one person on here who doesn't feel horrible that it even happened. It is painful watching your family go through this. Just because I don't say it every sentence, doesnt mean that I've forgotten what this is all about.

But you completely ignored it didn't you? Wow. How do you even do that? You basically said to hell with the other kid, this is all about your nephew. I agree. It is all about your nephew. Know the difference though? Your nephew's soul is better than ever in paradise playing on whatever baseball field heaven has. That's a fact. That other boy's soul? Not nearly as good right now.

TAYLOR set up the meeting with Melissa (the mom)...MRS. TAYLOR. was the one that wanted to sit and speak with Melissa and when that meeting was canceled...Yes it was CANCELED or you could postponed ...when MRS. TAYLOR felt stronger to meet with Melissa...Melissa did not want to sit and talk with MRS. TAYLOR unless it was with Melissa's therapist not Mrs. Taylor's ...IF everything that happened that day the way the "other boy" says...than why not tell the family?...but wait...he gave 3 different stories of what happen that day...3 DIFFERENT STORIES...which meant he had plenty of time to come up with these false stories... You say this does not concern me...THIS IS MY FAMILY...not YOURS..not CARSWELL...not T.T.....MINE...so yes this does concern me...if the "other family" wants to go public with what they think or feel is the truth than I say the other family should...BUT they will get the same bashing that my family is getting...so honestly it's a lose...lose situation....the court gets the final ruling but we will continue the fight for my nephew with more gun awareness...harsher gun laws...Do you know how many CHILDREN in Ga are convicted of INVOLUNTARY MANSLAUGHTER each year?....I don't know the numbers but its a lot ....so why is my nephews case any different?

An old-timer tries to get some sleep and now look at all he misses. Man, you people!

Since you're all on pins and needles to know my 2 cents, I'll oblige you. Mrs. Veronica and Mrs. Heather, I don't think any of these people on here are the parents of the boy. Because if that was my son you was speaking of, I'd have some harsher words for you than Tt does.

Also, you say the other family is the one vilifying you. Can you please direct me to the web sites/social media/whatever method you want to insert here that they are using to sling mud all over your family? If you can't, then I would beg to remind you of what my father told me growing up: The smeller's the feller. To break that down into simpler terms, it's usually the one that screams the loudest that the guiltiest.

I must have missed my calling in life. I should've been a stand-up comedian since I'm provoking so many laughs on here. Maybe after I win a lawsuit or two or three or four, then I can try my hand at that.

Mr. Morris, Yes sir, we are screaming loud, and will continue to do so. Sir, what you fail to understand is the reason this is happening at all. We were lied to by the Police and the family about the details of Rob's death. A lot of things happened withing the time of us finding that their story couldn't possibly be true based on several things, one thing was the autopsy report. I can get into specifics if you would like.Sir, if it were your son we were speaking of would he have taken responsiblity for taking someones life with a pump shotgun, pointing into someones face and firing it? Put yourself in our shoes for just a minute. It's hard to even try to understand the dept of our pain and confusion. If this was just a clear cut accident, then why couldn't anybody give us information? Why? Because they were hiding somethings...I can get into specifics there too, why were they hiding things? Morris, what would you do if it were your son that they told you was dead, shot in the head, they said, stupid kids, playing with a gun, that's what they said, then, you find out son was shot in the face, not back of head, son was sitting, no fingerprints on the gun, txt messages with your son plainly aggitated and upset. What the hell would you do? Let it go? Not care what was happening when your only son is shot in the face? FYI, everything I just said I have said many times before, here and in other forums...it's infor we have had...what would any of you do if you were us? TRUTH JUSTICE

So if things didn't add up, why did you cancel with the other mother? How do you know if they were hiding things if you never gave her the opportunity to tell you? That's what I'm screaming. You say all you've ever wanted was the truth, but when it was right there in front of you for the taking, YOU cancel. If this were my son and I thought there might have been something there that I was missing, I sure as heck wouldn't have canceled. That's on you, not the other family. Truth, my arse. Justice, you mean crucifixion.

But you still didn't answer my other question. Can you please direct me to the web sites/social media/whatever method you want to insert here that they are using to sling mud all over your family? Or is that just a crock of malarky, too?

Morris, do not think the other family is not on here using a false name!!! As far as me going to a baseball field........so you are telling me that I can not and should not go to a Woodland High School varsity baseball practice or game because they might be there? So Im supposed to live my life in hiding because they murdered my son but they may be uncomfortable if i go to a game and sit with some of my players family? Your a hypocrite!!!!! You sit back and judge us!!!! But tell me Morris what would you do if your child had died at the hand of someone that was grossly negligent? I have asked you that question as I have asked others the same but no one has answered me? Do tell bleacher coach tell me what you would do if you walked in my shoes?

You are exactly right. If you know they are there at that particular practice/game, then you should avoid that particular game/practice unless you want to be considered stalking them. Any idiot knows that.

If it was my son, and I didn't feel like things were adding up, I'd go straight to the source and ask. I wouldn't cancel my chance because I might cry. If then I wasn't happy with their explanation, I would take it to the authorities and see how it measures with the evidence. I would not launch a hate campaign. I would not crucify a minor throughout the media.

You're never going to be satisfied with the results.

And I assume you can also prove that they other family is using a fake name. I'm sure it's in that stack of hard evidence you have in your file, right?

Oh TT, Yep, I have been spouting for 2 years hun, Rob has only been gone for 26 mos, not 3 years, I really could care less what any of you people are saying, you see, this is about getting the truth out there, and justice under the laws, whatever that means in the end. It's about making sure that Rob isn't remembered the way those people want him remembered, as someone playing with a gun, nope, not him. He was much better than that, He was a great great kid. He would have wanted the truth, I get messages from his friends all the time, He is missed and he deserved someone to take accountability and responsibility for his HORRID death. Maybe I should tell you all exactly what that autopsy report says and you envision that to be your child, how would you feel then? We keep asking you all how you would feel, put yourselves in our shoes, but all you want to do is to put yourselfves in their postition, no matter how bad you think they have it, trust and believe, our whole family suffers and Big Rob and I suffer the greatest pain imaginable!! We are not trying to do anything to them but finding and getting out the truth, and if that means that boy faces charges then yes. I have infor in that I will always believe my son was murdered. Will it be proven, don't know, but my son's name will be cleared I promise that. We will not stop in our quest for truth and justice under the laws....that's a promise.

I promise you that if it would have been your child you would not be on here allowing people to blast your family for wanting the truth!!! You are right about one thing......your feeble mind only wants to compute what we say!!!!! I have a family member that retired from the army like you, he spend over 30 years in the army and it is so funny how he can see the cover up!!!!

Oh I'm definitely thinking that you don't know who I am. I am friends with the other family but I still don't know what "crap" you say I'm listening to. I'm not their spokesperson. Why would they need a spokesperson? If the other family didn't care about me posting, I'd use my real name. It's not like I'm scared of you or what you will say about me. My identity isn't important at all though. What lies have I spread all over town?? Notice how you are the ones who keep bring up the other family? So why are you so hell bent on talking about them?

Morris, you see how it doesn't add up? Haven't seen Carswell but I would guess that he may too. The meeting was cancelled by the Taylor family. Now we hear screams of wanting answers. The opportunity was there. Actually, and this is my personal opinion here, I think the other family would still talk with them. To the best of my knowledge, the other family hasn't read through these comments for quite a while. How is that offensive to you all? But it keeps growing and I decided that I, ME not THEM, was tired of seeing it and you tell me I'm not involved and to stay out of it. The next minute you think that I am actually part of that family. Well, I'm not. And what do you call all these other people on here? Oh they are all involved? You just had a problem with what I said because you don't agree. That's fine, but just because you don't agree doesn't mean it's not true. Remember Rob and Veronica, I don't have to prove anything. You do.

Very contradictory.... This wasn't a serious statement was it? So the article has been out since Nov. 27. It's March now. Ok now stay with me, this next part is tricky. You see, that was about 3 months ago. So he did read it but it was a while ago. That's how you come up with "for quite some time" because its relative to the age of the article.

Look here, Mr. Taylor, I did answer your question a long time ago. My arthritis won't allow me to keep re-typing the same stuff over and over. You're going to end up with carpal tunnel the way you do it. It's the same thing, over and over. If you don't like what someone says, you start repeating yourself. If you're at a loss of intelligent words, you start repeating yourself.

I think I'm about done posting here. You just want everyone else to keep going so you can keep repeating yourself over and over. There's no use in going round and round in circles, and that's all you want to do. If I wanted to tap dance, I'd go grab my bride and do it. You people aren't going to listen to anyone, even those trying to warn you to keep your mouths shut for your own good, not the good of the other boy. Fine, keep it going. But remember, if anyone feels sorry for the other family, it all thanks to you. I don't even know them, but I feel sorry for them. I don't know you, but I feel sorry for you for losing your son. However, this part you have gone about all wrong. And before you ask, I've already told you what I would do.

If you don't really want the truth, then don't ask for it. If you do, then don't cancel TWICE when you get the opportunity for it. End of story.

I wasn't at any church. Yeah, I did overhear it at the memorial on the baseball field. Not sure why that is hard to understand. Honest question, how much do you remember? Your proud sister Heather posted last night that you suffered a mental breakdown and were away for a few days. I can certainly understand that. But are you sure you have the facts straight? If you do, then there's definitely something strange going on. That would mean that my ears don't work right and they told me something that, strangely enough happened at a church? I said "first hand" because I HEARD IT.

"So continue to hide who you really are!! It shows you are afraid to let the public judge you as you judge us!"
Now thats just plain funny to hear coming from you. You're using the public's "judgement" as a scare tactic now? You mean that same public that you have been preaching is all against you, and that you don't care what they think? How many times are you going to flip-flop on us?

Are you just bored? Trying out a new brain teaser? WTH does this even mean? Ok, I'm seeing that you are reminding me that I'm not a doctor. Got it. Now the reason you brought that up was to dispute my statement about the boy not being a cold blooded killer? If your talking about the cold blooded part, you should have paid better attention in class. I think you are refering to when I said "it's called shock". I'm amazed that I need to explain this to you. Traumatic events often lead to shock. Seriously, don't take my word for it, research it yourself. you'll find that to be true in about 2 minutes. Is this what you have resorted to? Challenging my "medical opinion" (not a doctor) on something so completely obvious? As far as my kids, they haven't spent the night at his house, but I don't feel they are in danger around him and wouldn't be afraid for them to.

How would i feel if it were my kids? How would I know? Did you know before it happened? Thanks for trying to get me to pretend that my kids were dead. That's just great and really strengthens your argument.

Now as I have sit back and read this continous feedback from the three people that can't seem to understand what the Taylor Family is going through and are so "worried about the other family" and what they are going through.. poor them because the Taylor's and myself want answers to the question why was the case closed in just less that 24 hours.. what is being hidden? How would the mother of the MURDERER know what happened inside that house? She was NOT there..had she been do you think she would have allowed her child to take the life of an innocent young man that did NOT deserve to DIE? Why did she want Mrs. Taylor to meet her at her therapist's office why could she not just go to to the sheriff's office and ask for them to provide a room for them to talk? Again I ask what was being hidden? If nothing then why did it have to be with "her" therapist? Oh maybe patient confidentiality? I want JUSTICE for the MURDER of an innocent young man, I want to see negligence charges for the parents leaving the LOADED pump shotgun where it was accessible for this to hapen!Veronica and Rob Taylor are like family to me and I will be here for them and their family until JUSTICE IS SERVED!

Now THAT is quite comical and says a lot.

But now you're going to put the name of the other family's church on trial along with the boy for a simple member voicing their opinion about the case. Can you be any more of a hypocrite yourself????

Now you're saying we'll see and hear everything that you haven't been able to say on an Atlanta news station. So what changed? Or is it just going to be more of the same stuff?

It's a 2 part question that requires either a yes and/or no. No need for a heated discussion. Why does everything have to be confrontational with you people?

Oh please, this is the SOUTH! There isn't a law that you have to have a firearm locked up. Especially a pump shotgun. Maybe a trigger lock on handguns, but not a shotgun. Come on now, the pump shotgun is basically a staple in 95% of the households in this region, just as a refrigerator or a stove. It just is. And if it was left under the bed in the parent's bedroom, then I'd say that's more "concealed" than 90% of the households that have them. I've been in some houses where they're laying out on the front porch as a security system, or propped up in the corner of the living room cause the dad just got done cleaning it after Sunday lunch. You want those kind of laws, you need to head on up north where the government officials play tiddly winks with their constituents, cause it ain't happening here.

Speaking of ignorant comments, No it is not a law in the state of Georgia to have your guns locked up. You can hate it if you want, but that's a fact. The laws are clearly posted online. Find me the one that requires that.

After reading through as many of these comments as I can stomach, I've come to the conclusion that there is a lot of ignorance here. For a group of people who feel so passionate about something, you don't know the legalities of anything at all! You morons are the definition of a double standard. Your preacher does something and its acceptable, but if another does something it's not? You can't say anything about the case on little ole Cartersville patch but you can on Atlanta network TV? I could go on and on... You wanted the other kid charged, he was, and now you think that you should be able to demand what he's charged with? You don't know what you want do you? You definitely don't know what the realistic possibilities are.

Educated and smart? Thanks for the back handed compliment. I'm not, but this doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out. I doubt I'll be up to watch, but I have a question. How does anything that's happened SINCE day 1 have anything to do with anything? The way I see it, legally the only thing that matters is what happened on Day 1. Why would all the days that follow matter to the courts?

What has happened since doesn't matter to the courts. Evidence doesn't change. It was the same the day after it happened as it is today. It doesn't change anything. This is more about vengeance than justice. Plain and simple.

Thursday at 11: Parents: Police botched son’s homicide investigation

Posted: Apr 24, 2013 4:28 PM EDT
Updated: Apr 24, 2013 4:32 PM EDT
By Jeff Chirico - email

ATLANTA (CBS ATLANTA) -
On Thursday night, CBS Atlanta News will expose allegations that a sheriff's department intentionally botched a homicide investigation.

A 13-year-old boy was gunned down two years ago, but police never charged his friend who admitted to firing the gun.

Our investigation finds the lead detective, who is friends with the shooter's family, didn't record interviews with witnesses, examine evidence or hand the case over to prosecutors.

Investigative reporter Jeff Chirico will show you evidence detectives haven't seen and question the elusive sheriff in a Tough Questions investigation, Thursday at 11 p.m. on CBS

Geez, even the Atlanta news station is contradictory! The lead detective didn't examine evidence, yet this stellar reported Jeff Chirico is going to show us evidence that the detectives haven't seen. So which is it? Is this evidence that was never presented to the detective (the parent's fault), or did he review the evidence and simply determine is wasn't submissible or didn't prove anything more than the determination of an accident (him doing his job)? And you say you just want justice served. That's a bunch of bull malarky. The boy is being charged. Whether it happened then or now, it's happening. You're getting your wish. The fact that you keep going with it proves that you are just being vengeful at this point. He's facing (or has faced - still haven't gotten the answer to that question) the courts and a judge for what he did. Grieve, but let go of the vengeance already. I'm going to watch tonight, but I already can tell this is going to be extremely biased. Can't WAIT to hear the other family's reaction on there tonight also!

So basically, you have gotten a shock jockey reporter who doesn't really give a crap about any of this and just wants ratings to do this GREAT story. I think this makes your credibility go down even further. Congrats. It's definitely not going to be unbiased seeing as how phrases like "gunned down" are being used. The news networks are the most unreliable source of info anyway! They couldn't even get simple facts straight on a bombing in Boston that had thousands of witnesses and cameras. Is the other family going to be on there? Don't tell me he came to BARTOW county, talked to you guys, chased down our "elusive sheriff", and then headed back without talking to them. If they aren't on there, I call BS on all of this. And again, what's the point anyway? It sounds like he's going to tell us about what happened AFTER the accident, which as several have stated, is completely irrelevant. I'm gonna have to set the DVR for this one!

I have had just about enough of these people that come on here and constantly QUESTION Mr Rob and Mrs Veronica Taylor and the rest of us that are here to support for them in wanting JUSTICE! If y'all were any further shoved up the sheriff's tail it could not be more obvious!! Apparently, some of you think this is a joke with some of the smart ass comments that you have made, but I find NO humor in anything that y'all are posting!! Mr and Mrs. Taylor have the proof and if you listened real well tonight you would have heard that Detective Jonathon Rodgers admitted that he DID NOT call anyone in for a taped interview!! Sheriff Millsap closed the door in the face of the television crew AFTER REFUSING TO GIVE an ON CAMERA interview!! Sort of shows to some of us that he knows he did WRONG!!! You can all talk crap on here but none of you have the class of a piss ant!! If you want more info go get it yourself and let those of us that want JUSTICE for Robert Harvell Taylor III get that!! Oh and if this is not to your understanding..... you just got told!!!

Dry wit? Where was the other family's statement? Is it in a different video online or something? Please say there is, otherwise your "huge surprise of new evidence" was pointless and meaningless. If this is the case, you not only didn't show ANYTHING that you haven't been ranting on here for months, but you probably further hurt your chance for "justice". That video was cruel and downright despicable, and shows what truly pathetic people you are.

Crickets? It was your show! You've been going on and on about it forever now, and once it happens, you say nothing. I think you already know you royally screwed up.

Those have been mentioned here. Facebook friendships? Haha. That's the hard-hitting part? See all these holes in the idea that this was some brand new controversial evidence?

Don't get mad at me for calling a spade a spade here. I'm not bashing you, and its my opinion based off of your past postings. Admit it, you want them to suffer and you want to be in the spotlight. I think you're lying through your teeth and know that you f'd up. What was your plan exactly? Let me make sure I understand here. You basically drug a kid on trial still through the streets, bashed all of the prosecution including the DA prosecutor and law enforcement, and you think that that idiot from CBS is going to hold them accountable and force them to do something? Funny. So basically, every single person in the case now all really feel bad for the boy and are pissed at you. Let me know how that works out for ya.

Prove him wrong? That makes no sense. First of all he's an idiot who didn't even care about proving your story. He just listened to you. How do I know? Read what you all have been writing on here for months it's the same stuff. Second and most important, the burden of proof is on YOU and the court of public opinion doesn't count. I'm talking about real court. Now that "proof" is what you have to convince the prosecution, judge, and his lawyer of. So I guess I'll ask again how in the world smearing them all over the news helped? I bet they are going to be very willing to listen to what you have to say now! This case was closed and then they reopened it? If you pissed em off bad enough they could just say the investigation was right, there is no new real evidence, and re close it. And JEFF CHIRICO is going to stop that from happening? He'll be lucky if he's not getting sued for all he's worth. So how is this gonna play out?

Well, I have been reading all the posts here over the past months and I watched the TV report. Here is my take for what it is worth. I saw no new evidence presented in the report that has not already been discussed here. However what I did see is that the other young man has been charged in juvenile court. You keep saying you want justice. Well, let the system play itself out. Why do you keep going on and on about wanting justice? He is in the justice system. Let's see what happens! I know this was tragic and cannot even begin to imagine the grief and loss you feel. But at some point you are going to have to accept that nothing you do can bring your son back. What you are doing now is trying to ease your pain and frustration and grief. If you are Christians, which I am assuming from the church comments here, the Rob does not care about justice in this matter. He is with the Lord and has forgiven the other the young man completely.

Bill Martin

8:17 am on Saturday, April 27, 2013

To continue, if you are Christians, you also have to have the mind of Christ in this matter. Take a look at his example on the cross. Was he screaming for justice at those who had just nailed him to the cross, placed a crown of thorns on his head and whipped him beyond recognition? No. He asked his Father to forgive them. Forgiving this young man who did this terrible thing does not mean you let him walk away with no punishment. It does not mean you no longer hurt or grieve. But it does mean that you move on and trust that the ultimate Judge will do all things well and take care of the matter as He deems best. It also means you let Him take care of those who investigated the case. Nothing escapes His notice. He has not forgotten you either.

As for the crickets you heard yesterday, Mr. Big Rob, it was probably the creaking wheels in my head trying to understand how this newscast proved anything. I mean great day in the morning time, you didn't give one lick of new evidence that hasn't been seen! It was nothing more than a glamorized summary of the crap you've said on here! I figured it would be that way, but I watched mainly because I wanted to see what the other family had to say, but I never heard it mentioned that them or their lawyer (which sadly isn't me, I'm waiting for the slander/libel case) were contacted at all, that they refused to comment, nothing, which leads me to believe the contact was never even attempted! Instead there are pictures of the young man with only his face blurred out. Speaking of, the boys weren't even good friends? Picking a picture of the two of them together smiling and having a good time really supports that statement. I'm sure you are real proud of yourself based on your postings since the piece was shown, but I think it just showed you as 2 people full of hate. He's being charged, that's your justice. Quit your hatefulness and just let him be.

Thank you, Mr. Martin. Finally someone with some sense! To add to that, remember that everyone will be judged, even those doing their own judgement. Being a "victim" doesn't give anyone an excuse to spew hate. My granny taught me that as a wee-little lad.

That whole thing by Jeff Cheerio, or whatever his name is, is nothing but a pile of bull malarkey. In my opinion, you lost more support than you gained. You'll still have a few loud mouths like Mrs. Jacobson, but no one worth anything. In the end you made yourselves look vengeful and hateful, publicly slaughtering this young man. And when you woke up today, nothing's changed, nothing's gained, and you're still in the same situation.

Had the case been **fully investigated** in the beginning, these back and forths would not be taking place now. I don't know whether it was an accident or not, but the District Attorney's office saw fit to make an accusation and send it to the Court for disposition. May all involved find peace in this life

For starters I don't know you or your wife, so the name you use on here doesn't mean a thing to me. It has nothing to do with the names. Its about what is said and if there are allegations, then are they proving it. That's all I'm looking at when I'm reading discussions on the internet. Speaking of these weird names, wouldn't it be easier to make your own account so that "Rob" isn't posting as Veronica Taylor? The step-father was very open i thought. That link is a public Facebook.

The only part I don't agree with is how you are being a maniac who is attacking a kid. That's really how it comes across. New evidence? Come on now...you are joking right? You are saying that you have evidence that you can 100 percent prove that you are holding back? Why would that make sense? The trial in going on now, so isn't it a now or never for your evidence? You ever heard of double jeopardy? After it's over your evidence isn't worth anything! And as someone who has been on both sides of a lawsuit, civil and criminal have nothing to do with each other.

Goodness gracious alive. You people twist and turn everything. I've been doing some reading, and I read the link of which I assume the stepfather of the boy posted above to the Sheriff's Facebook page. I didn't see anything wrong with his post there. He even states that he doesn't have a problem with anyone having an opinion, but there is a right and wrong way to express it. He doesn't threaten, he just simply states that if you attack his son, then he will pursue it. The man is protecting his son. No one can blame him for that, just as no one blames you all for wanting answers. I've said it before though, what you want goes beyond answers. You want revenge, but no amount of revenge is going to make you feel better. No where have I seen them vilifying you. They don't attack your supporters. If I'm wrong and they have, then please provide me with that link as I asked for a long time ago but have yet to receive. If you are speaking of the comment he made about the slanderous postings on the boy's Facebook account, then you're crazier than a bessie bug. If someone posted that on MY son's page, I wouldn't bother with a warning of any kind, I can promise you that much!

Also, please just stop already with this "wait and see" and "the evidence will all come out" and "one day the world will know" malarky. If you had it, then you would've already shown it. It would've caused the boy to have more serious charges pressed against him, and he would be facing more serious charges than involuntary. Wait, let me guess...the DA is now in on the conspiracy, right? Somehow they got to them too? Did they have a 5th cousin that went to elementary school with them? I bet the DA is friends with a relative of theirs on Facebook, aren't they? Ridiculous. Just utterly ridiculous.

So who was it meant for? This is public. And thank you, I will say what I want. You say they threaten whoever has an opinion, but if someone disagrees with you, you tell them you don't want to hear it and it doesn't mean a thing. A little hypocritical, aren't you? And when someone asks you tough questions, you ignore them and start becoming repetitious with your "it'll all come out soon" bull.

By the way, I have several hobbies. Hobbies that I'm very good at and enjoy very much. Thank you for your concern, though. I appreciate your thoughtfulness. Maybe you can come golfing or needle pointing with me one day.

Did this case go to trial, and was there an outcome? I don't need to know the outcome, just want to know if the legal proceedings in a court of law have been completed?

According to the news crap, it hasn't been finished, but who knows. I figure that we'll know something one way or the other by the tone of the family on here. No matter what happens, they aren't going to be happy with the outcome. You can bet your bottom dollar on that.
