Shaquanda Cotton Needs You...

by Paula Neal Mooney The YBP Guide led me to this Chicago Tribune article by Howard Witt titled "To some in Paris, [Texas] sinister past is back," about the plight of Shaquanda Cotton. As a 14-year-old, Shaquanda Cotton was sent to youth prison with violent offenders for a minor crime -- shoving a hall monitor. "In Texas, a white teenager burns down her family's home and receives probation," writes Witt. "A black one shoves a hall monitor and gets 7 years in prison.

Today the story made the front page of AOL.com . I weep over the evil that is in this present world. Let that be a lesson to others like him. Probably cold comfort for Katie's family, however. I hope they can still somehow, from somewhere from deep within their grieving souls say: "Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him..." Job 13:15 Read the story here.
