Letter: Village failed child

“It takes a village to raise a child.” That’s what they say. It’s on letterhead, logos, pins, and posters, and emblazoned as the theme of conferences.

Yet, one more time, ashamedly, we must admit that a child’s village has failed him.

Where was Karreon Walker-Franks’ village? Is Child and Family Services a part of that village? How about his school district? Are they? His teachers? His neighbors? What part of the village is ilani casino?

It seems that a child must first survive his village so that he can be raised.
