innocentjester.livejournal.comIjust found out that one of the kids I work with at the church is in the hospital because someone shot him in both of his legs. He is a good kid, rough around the edges, but a good kid. He was supposed to go and live with his aunt in Atlanta because a neighborhood gang was trying to recrute him, I guess he came back for some reason, and honestly, the chruch was standing between him and them. So some one shot him, as far as I know he is doing ok and he doens't look like he is going to loose his legs, he is heavily medicated and talking about how hungry he is.
I'm just sick anout it, he was trying so hard to do the right thing and get out of that mess and some coward shot him. I'm so angry right now I can't sit straight. In my line of work I have seen some crasy things, hell even I have been shot as before.... but its always worse when you know them.
We had to deal with the other little boy in our group getting his arm caught in a faulity laundry mat drier, and having it ripped off. he only recently came back to church, he seems happy all things considered. It just pains me to see these good kids stuck in bad neighborhoods where the changes of them getting hurt are so high...
I'm just sick...
