Get involved to stop abuse
Thank you for a very informative newspaper. At age 80, I moved to Chattanooga due to health issues. Never in my life have I observed the tragic number of child abuse deaths. Is it culture, poverty, a lack of education or a lack of love?
Please, dear people, note it, do what you can about it, pray about it. When drugs, alcohol and neglect are in the daily life of someone you know, be a part of correcting these issues before the tragedies happen. Think. Do. Be active. Stop these child deaths.

Let’s be beacons for new refugees
In December 1620, nearly 100 men, women and children arrived at Plymouth Rock. They called themselves Pilgrims. For them, America was a refuge from religious despotism in England.
Inexperienced as they were in living from the land, if not for Squanto and the Wampanoags, death would have been their end. The Puritans and Catholics soon followed, eager to found their own religious havens.
