Fiction writer John H. Richardson must be on Crump’s speed dial.

http://www.esquire.com/features/americans-2012/trayvon-martin-1212

TRAYVON
Lost in all the horrible politics surrounding his death is the story of a boy. Before he became yet another flash point in America’s painful and never-ending racial drama, Trayvon Martin was just a normal teenager. Here, at last, is the story of what was lost on that February night.

By John H. Richardson on November 13, 2012

I should have been there to protect him

No, you should have been there to teach him right from wrong but instead you taught him to be a gangsta just like you. BTW, Daddy, I caught your "Burn this ____ down!" video and what's the initiation for the Bloods these days?

I feel bad for the family. What an awful holiday season for them. The family didn’t do anything wrong and yet they are punished with no son anymore. Sad story for all.

Better to take him down the street for an ice cream than to pick him off the street in a body bag................

She could have been the Godliest woman on the planet,
but her son needed a Father.

Couldn’t they at least find two different people??

This is a novella, not a documentary.

But somehow the godly lady passes even her role up to... a grandmother?

Out of frying pan into fire?

If the family in the story is the same as the real family... not so certain about that

OPRAH magazine probably has more readership

Yeah, that’s part of “the culture” I suppose.
My comment wasn’t on the “Godliness” of the mother, in particular, but of the absolute necessity of the father’s role.

The deal with the “grandmother” is usually due to a perverse incentive in the law where the “grandmother” assumes guardianship in order to increase her benefit check.

My guess is never!!

Little Mieky’s mom didn’t know big Mikey’s mom as evidenced from the tee shirt debacle.

I think she’d make a good faith attempt to get some kind of responsible men into her son’s life... even if hubby did walk out. If she cared about the Lord like she is being depicted to.
