Howard Timblin (L), and Edward Timblin, (R)
Jamestown, NY - Just after midnight Tuesday morning, a 68-year-old woman was left outside the Jamestown Police Station and had to make her way up the curb and steps on her own. A simple task made difficult because she is physically disabled — walking with the aid of a walker and using an oxygen tank.
Apparently, the woman’s husband, Howard Timblin, dropped her off after their son Edward Timblin threw her out of the home the three shared.
Howard Timblin Jr., 70, and Edward Timblin, 45, are charged with endangering the welfare of a physically disabled person. I’m not sure that husband and son are the proper terms to be using here because that usually implies care and concern, Taking a cue from Howard’s shirt which says “The Beast is Back”, I’ll use “beast” instead.
On Monday evening, police were called to a verbal domestic dispute at the home between her and both beasts. The woman told them elder beast and junior beast were harassing and mistreating her. Officers did what they could to difuse the situation and left.
Some time after the police left, both beasts allegedly told the woman she was no longer welcome there. Junior beast, Edward, who fancies himself the master of the domain, evicted his mother. At which time the elder beast, Howard, promptly loaded her into the car and drove to the police station.
Around 12:30 Tuesday morning, a Jamestown officer saw Howard dump her off unceremoniously in front of the station and leave. After she was checked out by paramedics, officers returned her to her home.
During interviews with the not-so-loving suspects at the house, it was determined that the mother couldn’t care for herself. That resulted in endangerment charges. Although they both beasts received the same charge, different actions by each led to the charges and imply different degrees of criminality.
Elder beast Howard was released to the custody of the Chautauqua County Department of Probation and beast Edward was sent to the county jail under a $1,000 bail.
A neighbor reported that the woman had complained in the past about the treatment from the beasts and he encouraged her to call authorities. The woman had said she was afraid of junior beast and didn’t know what he was going to do. The neighbor figures that last night she finally had had enough.
The Jamestown Police Department’s domestic violence program, Project Crossroads, is working to find a new home for the victim. Beast-free.

I thought is was a felony to abuse the disabled, it is here in FL, and if that isn’t abuse what is.. Hope the old geiser keels over and the young beast sits in jail to cool his jets.

Sons who disrespect their mothers in this way are usually raised badly. Whether Mom coddled him and allowed him to walk all over her since day 1, or whether he learned how to disrespect Mommy by watching Daddy, that woman should have left this situation long before she became disabled.
If she had, maybe her son would have turned out a better human.
Either way, it is a pity isn’t it?

Just a side comment, I like how one man is wearing an awesomely lame t-shirt and the other is shirt-less. Maybe that’s the only shirt in the house and it was dad’s turn.

Though I’m certain they’ll find her a safe place to live, I hope her twilight years aren’t full of loneliness & regret (for not leaving elder in her prime, and for having birthed such a shit for a son).
Poor lady.

Sounds awful but it is really a good system. I didnt realize you could do that with old people too!!

I’m going to give a perspective on this story that I am sure isn’t going to be popular with many of the other bloggers here… Here goes.
Many families are disfuntional and some are HORRIBLY DISFUNCTIONAL. From looking at the pictures of pops and sonny boy (no shirt on), they don’t look like the wine and cheese crowd at their local country club. So, if I was to guess I would tend to think this is one seriously messed up family. Total train wreck.
In my opinion, based on the comments so far, everyone is thinking that Ma is just the sweetest old bird in the whole world who happens to be disabled and these two “beasts” are the worst two human beings on the planet… Maybe we base this assumption on the snippet that a neighbor said that the old lady complained to them that father and son were mean to her. I have seen my share of disfunctional families, and it is common for family members to complain to anyone who might give them support - even when they are equally to blame for their situation and are equally as nasty to the others they complain about.
May I suggest that it is possible that Mommy might be the nastiest, cruelest most nightmarish mom on the block? If that is true, maybe Pops and sonny boy want her out of their life? Would it be worse if they just bailed and moved away?
I am not trying to justify here that they did the right thing. These two guys appear to be scumbags. But, there usually are two sides to every story. And, I ask you to please reply considering that what I am suggesting might be true -that she might be a nightmare to deal with. They clearly do not look like they have the money to put mom in a home, so what alternatives to they have? Trying to get her in a state-run home seems like the proper alternative.
I guess the bottom line with me here is that this story doesn’t seem so bad. It doesn’t look like the beat her, tortured her, etc… It looks like a disfunctional and probably uneducated family where two out of the three voted one of them out of the family. I would be surprised if the cops endangerment charges stick. Pop dropped her off at the police station - not the middle of forest.
Your thoughts…

Aug 20, 2008 at 10:07 pm -How come every time I saw the word beast in this story I read breast?
Example,
….On Monday evening, police were called to a verbal domestic dispute at the home between her and both breasts……
Or,
….Some time after the police left, both breasts allegedly told the woman she was no longer welcome there. Junior breast, Edward, who fancies himself the master of the domain, evicted his mother. At which time the elder breast, Howard, promptly loaded her into the car and drove to the police station.
See what I mean?? The elder breast was driving a car? The junior breast handing out the walking papers?
Anyway, terrible thing to be old and disabled and booted out on the streets. Assmunchers!!
But I got a good laugh….:)

Only the two breasts in this story are only about six-foot high and when they get really indignant, they squirt milk on themselves and the police officers. The officers politely wipe their faces, nod sympathetically, and ask another question.

Aug 21, 2008 at 9:22 am -ScotchyScotch, after reading he story for the first time I got to the end and thought “stupid wankers-fucking egits-rot in hell for abusing your mother”. Then I read your opinion and now I’m thinking she was like Clint Eastwoods mother in Every Which Way But Loose. Tobacco spitting, cursing, middle finger pointing and all that!
Either way they should not have treated her the way they did.

I am praying to God that they will find her a good place to live. the son and dad can jump the shark for all i care. i am 45 and in a nursing home myself, bedridden and go to dialysis 3 days a week by ambulance. my husband left me when i was in a coma seven years ago and he brought me home from the hospital and left, moved to orlando from alabama to shack up with his new online girlfriend, we lost the house, car, no child support. my middle son won a full football ride to college and he would take is gf to the games. my son started for five years and i was never able to go not even to one game. he even bought jerseys with his number on them for him and his gf and she had the nerve to wear it to the games. can you imagine how i feel? i just wish my son would of said to her please don’t wear that jersey again, your not my mom. but it’s ok i still love him very much and i dont hold it against him. he has always been the peacemaker in the family. my oldest son and i graduated college together with honors and he has his masters in history and teaches and my youngest son is in the sea food restaurant business. i am so proud of all of them. i feel sorry for their dad my ex husband because he is not saved and Jesus is coming back very soon and when the Rapture happens the Bible says who is left on earth will be frightened and the nashing of teeth. because it is going to be so bad to deal with.

And wtf is up with the husband? Did he just not care or maybe he was afraid of his own son? Ah, I don’t care if he was. He should have gotten a gun and told his ’son’ you are not going to treat my wife like that.
