A Michigan woman is facing multiple charges for allegedly fishing and stalking her own daughter.

Authorities say Kendra Licari sent thousands of hateful and harassing messages to her daughter and her daughter’s boyfriend.

David Barberi is the Isabella County District Attorney. He says the woman started sending the messages in early 2021 and the number of messages sent is in the tens of thousands.

“We received tens of thousands of text messages, whether they were just for his daughter or for some of his daughter’s friends,” Barberi said. ABC News. “And, you know, the digital footprint was just crazy.”

The messages continued even after her daughter whistled

Licari’s daughter and her boyfriend’s parents reported the harassment to authorities, but she continued to text even after her identity was discovered. Licari allegedly used software that made the harassing texts appear to come from her daughter’s classmates.

“Even when we realized it wasn’t a child, we didn’t expect it to be a parent,” said William Chilman, superintendent of Beal City Public Schools. “When they informed us later in the spring that they suspected it might have been her, it was a shock to all of us, I think everyone involved.”

Mom faces four crimes

When confronted, Licari admitted she was behind the text message but did not provide a reason for her behavior.

Licari currently faces four counts, each of which could result in several years in prison.

Midland’s John Pratt Mosaic House

Just outside Midland is the childhood home of talented artist John Pratt. The house is adorned with shimmering pieces of shattered glass, porcelain and mirrored tiles that create a window into Pratt’s creative soul.

Pratt suffered from mental illness and as part of his recovery, decorated the outside walls of the house with murals which, in the words of This site“represented his illness, his newfound joie de vivre and his convictions on tolerance and unconditional love”.

Since his death, the house has been owned and maintained by Creative 360 which offers guided tours of the premises. Our thanks to Ashley Cottrell who provided the photos below.
