We still have work to do
Today's New York Post brought three poignant reminders why youth workers do what we do:
- "Tears flowed like the driving rain yesterday as [7 year old] Nixzmary Brown was laid to rest after a short and brutal life that ended when she was tortured, and finally beaten to death — allegedly by her parents." Article. Her funeral was around the corner from where my parents live in the Lower East Side.
- "A Queens teen yesterday told a jury how he and two pals fatally beat and stabbed an unsuspecting boy as part of a brutal gang initiation." Article.
- "'How do you want to die? Painfully or not?'
"Those were among the last words spoken to 21-year-old Hunter College student Ramona Moore as she lay, burned, beaten, raped and chained on the floor of a filthy, condom-strewn Brooklyn apartment — the helpless sex captive to two reputed Bloods gang members, prosecutors said yesterday." Article.
