In Cleveland, Texas last December an 11 year-old girl was raped by up to 19 men and boys ranging from middle school age to age 27. The town has become divided over this crime and some question the girl’s alleged behavior. She is eleven.

The crime came to light as the video of sex acts began to circulate around the school and one of the girls’ classmates shared it with an administrator. I first learned of this tragedy this morning while reviewing the latest headlines on my phone. 

I never thought that I would see the movie A Time to Kill play out in real life… When I first saw that movie, something inside me changed. I would be willing to assist in some justice…perhaps I will check on flights…
