Police in New Jersey have arrested Breanna Beacham of Willingboro after she allegedly murdered her own mother. The details of this developing story are still coming to the public in bits and pieces, but according to arresting documents, the 32-year-old has been charged in association with the murder -- which took place on Monday. Fox News 29 reports that police responded to a residence in Willingboro on a call that an assault was in progress. When they arrived, it was already too late. Fifty-seven-year-old Kim Beacham-Hanson was found unresponsive at the scene. She had been bludgeoned to death, and her daughter was immediately taken in to police custody. Breanna Beacham has been charged with first-degree murder, possession of a weapon for unlawful purpose and unlawful possession of a weapon -- all three felony charges. At this time, the motive for the murder is unknown.
Another post is going viral on Reddit's AITA, and this time people are a little are divided on whether or not the author of the post is in the wrong. One thing has been gathered from the story, however, and that's that OP's wife was a cheater who is now sitting with the consequences of her actions.
The author of the post shared with Reddit users that he's been married to his wife for six years, sharing a five-year-old son between the two of them. However, he'd just learned two weeks ago that he isn't the actual father of the five-year-old boy. He had suspicions, and after secretly getting a paternity test, he found out that his suspicions were true, which meant that his wife indeed cheated on him a year into their marriage.
"I immediately confronted my wife and called her a wh*re in my anger and many other names, she started crying and explained that she hid it because she didn't want to break our happy family of 3," the man wrote.
He decided he wanted to divorce his unfaithful wife and separate himself from this "happy family of three," that was based on lies and infidelity. However, his wife demanded that he not ruin their family "over some DNA," as if that was the weight of the issue. In the post OP wrote that he doesn't want any contact with her or her child, as he is not the boy's father. Now his soon-to-be ex wife and her sister are harassing him and demanding that he play a role in the boy's life because he's the only father he's ever known.
Reality check
If the post's author is being truthful, it doesn't seem as though his soon-to-be ex is very remorseful about what she'd done in the first place. Afterall, she not only hid that she'd cheated on the man for five years, but she also callously passed off another man's son as his. She didn't seem to care about his right to make any choices in any of this for half a decade, and now that she's been caught and outed, she's reducing the entire ordeal as "some DNA" as if OP is overreacting by drawing hard boundaries. That child is not his son, and what was done to him is not only morally wrong, but is also criminal.
Redditors are slightly divided over whether or not the author of the post is in the right for abandoning the child along with his wife. While most agree that a divorce is probably necessary, it's also tragic that the child could suffer the loss of the only father he's known while being completely innocent of any wrongdoing. It's true that it isn't the child's fault that he was conceived outside of his parents' marriage, but it's also not appropriate for this man to be expected to foot the bill for another man's child after he was deceived and trapped by his cheating wife to do so.
What do you think? Is OP the AH in this situation? Or is the wife getting exactly what she deserves?
