On August 23rd, 2014, a Saturday, Nizzear Rodrigues celebrated his 13th birthday. Sunday, August 24th, 2014, something unspeakable happened. When a member of his family went to wake him, he was found dead. During the course of the night, a coward crept into his bedroom and shot him in the head. What makes this more disturbing is that he may not have been a target!
The person arrested is a teenager. He's young enough not to be able to buy alcohol but old enough to get the death penalty.
Time to make some changes people! Start with appropriate mandatory conflict resolution classes at all grade levels. Make 'em mandatory to pass, as important as the placement tests.
Even better would be classes on how to make good decision levels with the same qualifications...
Pray for the family, folks. Pray for them as they have to get ready to bury their child. If you can donate to the burial cost, ever better. PLEASE, regardless, teach your children about the permanent consequences of bad decisions.
