Election Time

Tuesday, May 8th is quickly approaching and if you don't know what the date signifies than you're really not paying attention. Listen Up! This post is especially for you. Locally speaking, it's time to select a mayor to serve the citizens of Wilson, NC. It's also time to elect city council representatives for District 1, 2 and 4, Coleman, Burton and Johnson, respectively.

What constitutes child abuse

As far as we're concerned, Child abuse is the physical, sexual or emotional mistreatment or neglect of a child.

In the United States, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Department for Children And Families (DCF) define child maltreatment as any act or series of acts of commission or omission by a parent or other caregiver that results in harm, potential for harm, or threat of harm to a child. Child abuse can occur in a child's home, or in the organizations, schools or communities the child interacts with. There are four major categories of child abuse: neglect, physical abuse, psychological/emotional abuse, and child sexual abuse

Different jurisdictions have developed their own definitions of what constitutes child abuse for the purposes of removing a child from his/her family and/or prosecuting a criminal charge. According to the Journal of Child Abuse and Neglect, child abuse is "any recent act or failure to act on the part of a parent or caretaker which results in death, serious physical or emotional harm, sexual abuse or exploitation, an act or failure to act which presents an imminent risk of serious harm".

IF YOU WITNESS A CHILD BEING ABUSED, HERE'S PRAYING YOU STRENGHT TO DO THE RIGHT THING . . . REPORT IT. MAKE an anonymous call to the proper authorities.

The song lyrics say Bless the beast and the children for in this world they have no voice. They have no choice. Consider both - in this case in particular, THINK of the CHILDREN!

In its heyday, U.S. 301 was a busy, flourishing corridor for business. A person could rent a room at a nice hotel, eat at a good restaurant, buy a car, see a doctor and get a prescription filled, right there on the strip, according to many Wilson residents ...

A Mom Mourns & A Father's Fret = This One Day Neither Will Ever Forget My Baby-Boy is Dead

My Child went to the the store today ... and he never came back home.

My Beautiful Baby-Boy, so jovial, full of energy and a zest for life went to get him a snack from a neighborhood convenient store and loss his life at the hands of somebody who believed he was up to no good. The opposite was never more true.

IN HIS OWN NEIGHBORHOOD, coming home. Back where he belong. IN HIS OWN NEIGHBORHOOD. A gated community, where safety abides, where incidents like this tragedy are not suppose to occur.

My SON ... is not ever coming back home to me. Somebody down the street killed him. He followed him, stalked him down, confronted him, shot him and killed him. Shot him DEAD. On the scene.

MY SON IS DEAD.

MY CHILD WENT TO THE STORE TODAY...
AND NEVER CAME BACK HOME.

The IMAGE of FANATICAL



A zealot racist guised as a neighborhood watch captain who's still free to roam the streets, if he hasn't fled the country already.

Hmmm, wonder what the folks in his neighborhood association are saying about this guy right about now...

COURAGE is getting up, stepping out and speaking against injustice, inequality and disparities that you see everyday in the place you call home.

It takes "Courage" to make an effort to make a difference in the face of those who sit back, kick their feet up, relax and drink their beer and wine while watching the City Council meetings criticizing those who care enough to share and voice their community concerns. A word to the wise in the message below. you need to get it. And here's something you didn't learn at that university you got that degree from college. Use your head for something other than a hatrack or something to keep your ears apart.
