Jennifer Petkov Accused of PPO Violation, Creating More Facebook Taunts

DETROIT (WJBK) - Jennifer and Scott Petkov were back in court Wednesday, accused of violating the PPO that prohibits contact with little Kathleen Edward.

It's alleged Jennifer appeared within site of Kathleen and made Facebook postings about Kathleen, including using a photo of her and her family as her profile picture.

At her arraignment, Petkov pleaded not guilty. If found guilty, she could be sentenced to up to 93 days in the Wayne County Jail and fined up to $500, but her attorney says Petkov isn't responsible for the postings.

"The allegation was that there's some contact on Facebook.  The Petkovs, neither of them, are accessing Facebook. They have someone who's hijacked those pages, and those are things that we're going to address in court," said attorney Scott Weinberg.

Kathleen's family doesn't buy it, recently showing FOX 2 a posting they believe was from Jennifer Petkov  saying, "U thought the passed 4+ years were bad you havent seen nothing yet!"

It was, of course, on Facebook that one year ago the bad blood boiled over between Jennifer and Kathleen's grandmother, Rebecca Rose.

You'll remember Jennifer posted a photo of Kathleen's dead mother in the arms of the grim reaper and of Kathleen with a skull and crossbones. When FOX 2's Ron Savage asked her why, Jennifer Petkov was far from apologetic.

"Because it burns Rebecca Rose [experative] raw for me to make fun of her dead daughter on that page," she said.

A much more subdued Jennifer Petkov left court on this day. They next hearing is set for December 20th.
