The Google News van was in my internet neighborhood again. This time it is from Evergreen, Washington.
As much as politicians and many others today do not like MSM, their purpose is made known, time after time. I just do not trust talking points or news that argues constantly to "get someone". Just the news, please.
If you read my book, you know my skepticism towards media is based on personal experience, but we need the media.
These reporters followed up. Kudos to them.
A $50 million case settlement, two people in jail one dead child/student, and two survivors are the topics of this story, in Beyond the Broadcast. A newspaper reporter followed the story for six years.
*It is yesterday's news which the reporters hope has an impact today.*
Will this story make you angry, righteously?
Will it inspire you?
Who? What? Where? Why? How?
The questions are the same in any suspicious death.
Should death by starvation be any different?
Listen to the report. The publication date of the YT video is today, November 11, 2026. The child died per news on November 27, 2020.

This is a follow up story to one first covered by the station in 2020.
Justice moves at a snail's pace.
Were schools open in 2020 in Washington?
Who paid out the large settlement in 2026?
You know how people today say that if they were alive in Jesus's time, they would have recognized him? Would we?

Neighbors built a memorial. Could they have helped before death?

Did IDEA help this child or his siblings?
Who will manage the settlement?
Any questions on mandated reporting?
Who were the usual suspects of trusted adults?
The saddest part is, he died like many other children. Google pulled up many names of children who have died from starvation in our first world nation. It was not due to famine.
How many people ignored, covered their ears, played dumb?
Evil hates children. Pray. Pay attention. Act.
Not every weapon wielded against children is a gun or a knife.
In child assault prevention:
How much is your brother worth?
Do we need another law, more accountability, or open hearts?
From the Teacher's Desk with more questions to ponder because I do not have all the answers. I do know there must be laws, though, addressing abuse and the many forms it takes.
Stay tuned.
