CDF Cradle to Prison Pipeline® Initiative Slideshow

When I first heard the story yesterday of Noelle Washington being killed along with her nine month old son and her best friend's three year old daughter, it stopped me in my tracks. I couldn't believe it. I could not leave the house until I saw a picture of Noelle, her son, and the little girl. I cried over this story of tragedy, I cried for her family, the litte girl's family and for our city. My immediate thought was "Who does this?" Who honestly kills a teenager, an infant, and a toddler with no thought of human life in a single moment? It has to be someone who is heartless and who is cold to any emotions or feelings.

My heart goes out to all the families involved in tragic act. I pray that someone is arrested for this crime. The families and the community will need that closure but it will be a long time to heal from the hurt, the pain, the anger, and the thought of what might have been had Noelle moved on to Nashville, moved on with her life.

There is a song, sung by gospel artist Yolanda Adams, "What About the Children?" How fitting for Noelle, for Anthony, for Sharailyn.

Be Blessed
