This comment of the day comes from Sherrie, who wrote in about Alicia Wheeler. She said:
This story really hurts me to my heart. I taught her two oldest girls for two years. I’ve seen them come to school late, sometimes hungry. I’ve braided their hair. I saw sadness in their mother’s eyes, pleading for help as she pushed her son in a stroller. She really tried to do whatever she could for those children, to protect them at all costs… but who could protect her?
