Her son was kicked out of every school and she moved to Maine to try to give him a fresh start. I can’t tell you how often I’ve seen desperate parents desperate to figure out something because no one knows where to direct them. Or if care is available they can’t afford it because insurance denies and there is no where else to turn.

She wasn’t the mom injecting heroin and ODing in front of the one kid. She wasn’t the dad who had never even met his son although he clearly knew his child existed. She tried giving herself and her son a fresh start.

A fresh start by inviting the monster friends over? She failed to protect her son.

It was mom’s pot that they stole.

Clearly other family dynamics at play.

Ames says Lukas was kicked out of “every school system” in Massachusetts before they moved to Maine.

In the days leading up to the murder, Ames says Lukas, who had also been kicked out of school in Maine, wanted to visit his two friends in Massachusetts but instead Kimberly decided to bring them to Maine.

“Kimberly did everything she could do,” she says. “If she hadn’t gone down to get Smith and Severance I don’t think this would have ever happened. You can’t blame her she was trying to do something. Lukas was isolated. He had nothing going on in his life.”
