Chances are extremely high that dad ANTHONY GUGLIELMO was very abusive. Why?
1) He was custodial, and studies show that abusive fathers are far more likely to pursue (and succeed at getting) child custody than non-abusive fathers.
2) The 14-year-old told the police TWO YEARS AGO that he was physically abusive. CPS did nothing. (Big surprise)
3) The girl had run away from the home of her custodial father before.
4) The vast majority of children who kill parents have been severely abused.
But despite all this, you still have the gaggle of clueless idiots saying what a "good guy" he was. Honestly folks, you have no idea....

Port Chester slaying: Girl, 14, called police on dad two years ago; intruder story in doubt
11:23 PM, Sep. 12, 2011
PORT CHESTER — The 14-year-old girl who is a suspect in her father's killing told the cops two years ago that he was physically abusing her.
"It was handed over to (child protective services)," Police Chief Joseph Krzeminski said Monday. "I don't know where it went."
There was no arrest.
In May of last year, the girl's parents reported her missing. She was quickly found at an aunt's home, Krzeminski said.
While the girl remains a suspect in Anthony Guglielmo's weekend stabbing death, police have not ruled out others being involved.
"There could be any number of suspects," the chief said.
The girl called 911 just before 5:30 a.m. Sunday and reported that an intruder had entered through a window at 235 Mortimer St. and stabbed her father.
Police arrived at the three-family home moments later and found Guglielmo in a pool of blood, dead from a stab wound to the chest. A window screen was cut and a garbage can was under the window, but police suspect a break-in may have been staged.
Upstairs neighbors Irene Roldan and Juan Vasquez said Monday that they were awakened by a loud crash shortly after 5 a.m. Sunday and, moments later, heard the girl screaming on what they believe was the 911 call.
"She was screaming, 'Oh my God! My father is dying!' " Roldan said. And Vasquez said he heard the girl say, "Someone is here."
They rushed downstairs and knocked on the door. The girl asked who it was but couldn't open the door, so they ran around to the back and looked into the kitchen.
"She was still screaming on the phone," Roldan said, and then the police arrived.
After their initial conversation with the girl, police waited to interview her further until her mother arrived because she could not be questioned without a parent or guardian present, Krzeminski said.
The mother, Peggy Guglielmo, 46, was there while the girl was interviewed by detectives at police headquarters.
The chief described the girl as "calm" but "distressed."
She was allowed to leave with her mother and remains with her. No arrests have been made.
Andrew Quinn, a lawyer who was representing the girl, declined to comment Monday night.
Krzeminski said the girl's 911 call was "inconsistent" with the reality of the killing.
"Without saying so, she indicated that this was something that had just happened," the chief said. "When we got there, it was determined it was something that happened a couple hours before."
Krzeminski said police believe Guglielmo was killed two to four hours before they arrived, or between 1:30 and 3:30 a.m.
A kitchen knife believed to be the weapon used in the killing was found in a room next to the one where the body was found, facedown, on the floor, the chief said.
A blood trail between the rooms — the girl's bedroom and the living room — was visible. Inside the bedroom was a stuffed bear and a video game system, and a mattress with no linen.
Another neighbor, Alice Quinlan of Birch Street, said she also heard a loud crashing noise but thought it was about 3:40 a.m.
Roldan said Guglielmo and his daughter moved into the house only about eight months ago, so she didn't know them well. But she struggled to think the girl could have killed her father.
"She's a little girl," Roldan said. "I hope she didn't do anything like that."
Denis McConway, a part-owner of the house, said Guglielmo had done plumbing work for him in the past. He described Guglielmo as a "hard-working, easygoing, genuine good guy."
"I don't know what went wrong," McConway said. "They had a very loving relationship."
Asked whether the father and daughter had a history of hostility, the chief cited the July 2009 call, to a previous residence, when she reported the abuse.
The teen has been attending an "alternative" school separate from the Port Chester school system, the chief said. He was uncertain whether she was there for behavioral or other reasons.
"I would assume there's some issue, but I'm not sure what it is," he said.
Guglielmo had custody of his daughter following the couple's divorce about 10 years ago.
The girl has maintained a "positive" relationship with her mother, Krzeminski said.
Reached by phone Monday, Peggy Guglielmo declined to comment.
Police do not suspect the mother had any involvement in the homicide.
