Prosecutors still trying to decide if these three white boys will face charges in last month's burning of 9-year-old Joshua Judkins.

How do you accept a child being hurt? How do you accept a child getting 2nd and 3rd degree burns on his body and then for it to be called a prank that went wrong? Why do you have 3 white teenage boys that can pour alcohol on this 9 year old black boy, and his family and his community have to raise Cain to have the police officers bring charges against these 3 white teenagers. Why are Prosecutors still trying to decide if these three white boys will face charges in last month's burning of 9-year-old Joshua Judkins. These teenagers who they say will playing a prank are the ages of 15, 14, and 13. If we reverse this and it was 3 black teenage boys that have done this to a 9 year old white child. These 3 teenagers would be tried as an adult and facing first degree murder charges. Please tell me at a time when police officers seem to be on a high about tasering and arresting youths, why does Hammond, Indiana have to have an outcry from the community to have justice done for the 9 year old black child?
Joshua Judkins, 9, has second- and third-degree burns on much of his body after he was somehow lit on fire while spending time with three older boys. The incident may be investigated as a hate crime.

Now look at this baby, and imagine if he was your child, what do you see, if this was white on white crime or black on black crime, it would be an outrage. Even if this was a prank going wrong, these teenagers set a child on fire, what about arson charges, and is it up to the public to tell the judicial system what charges to file against these teenagers.

It has been stated that this could be investigated as a hate crime, I feel that this is a hate crime. 9 year old Joshua Judkins, while laying around with 2nd and 3rd degree burns on almost of his body, I am sure is not looking at this as something that friends do to each other in playing. Pouring alchol on his back and setting him on fire, I am sure was not a play time event for him. Maybe the 3 teenagers while trying to see what it was like to lynch a black child while they can watch him suffer in the game. I hope and pray that this is not the new game in Indiana nor the rest of the country, in lets get a small child and set them on fire and see what happens.

I was told that the residents of this community did contact the NAACP and they did not return their call, that is a darn shame, is this not the things that the NAACP should still be working on?

This happened last month, has anyone noticed that the crimes against African American People are rarely shown on the major news net-works. CNN has done their 2nd report on black in America, has anyone seen any of these stories? Has anyone see the one where a deaf black man, is in the Dollar General Bathroom, and the police burst in and tasser him.

I keep asking when is the madness going to stop, why are we going back to the days that

Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King was fighting for. Why are we seeing injustices rise against us in such high numbers? I wonder all of the years of slavery and of Jim Crow, when is it going to be black America's turn? No, not that we hold slaves, I honestly do not believe that we black folks have it in us to do the horrific things that were done against us against another human being. Also we are not talking about enslaving anyone. We do not want to enslave, we want to know what it is really like to be free, we would like to know that we are not going to be used as medical Guinea pigs for medicines, that we are not going to be thrown in jail or tasered, that if we are in a public rest room, that we are not going to be peppered sprayed and tasered for taking to long to come out the bathroom.

If America really wants to know what we want, we want good schools for our children, we want them to come out of high school prepared for college, we want them to have healthy food. We want and need for Black History to be taught in the schools not just for a month, but for the year, we need our c hilren as well as the rest of the children to know that black america has contribute a lot to this country, along with the things that are neccessity and the things that are made to make life easier for all people. When you take school trips, why not take the children to a black museum also. We have a rich history, that is being stolen for our youth, not only was it stolen from our youth, it was stolen from the parents of the youth as well. We are a culture that is so rich with so many talents, but are talents are wasted on being incarcerated and being tassered or shot why we now have youngsters in wheel chairs. Instead of all of this money being placed on building new prisons, we take that funding and place it into the schools to educate our children properly.

When injustices are done in our communities as it was to

let us now bring forth the mental healing along with the physical healing and bring these young teenagers to justice, so that we can use this bad experience against this child to make justice equal for all people. Let us not allow this young child's suffering and scarring of physical and mental be in vain. IT IS TIME FOR BLACK AMERICA TO WAKE UP AND DEMAND JUSTICE FOR JOSHUA JUDKINS ALL OVER THESE UNITED STATES AND TO BRING THESE 3 WHITE TEENAGE BOYS TO BE MADE TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE CRIME THAT THEY HAVE COMMITTED AGAINST THIS CHILD.
