I was alerted to this discussion by a member here. Thanks for your support. I've only told a part of Neli's story. I'm waiting on the national news to pick this up before I tell ALL OF IT. It doesn't look like that's going to happen anytime soon because I've contacted several major news networks and have received no responses. I give it until Monday. If no one will talk to me, then I have to continue on this crusade and ALL of Neli's story will be told. Again thanks for your support.
My heart goes out to you and your son. This is the type of situation we all fear for our kids, that a complete misunderstanding can lead to them doing something the law deems a crime, when there was no criminal intent ... Add the race factor, which I do not have to deal with, but does sound like was a key factor, and I really feel for you. Let me know if there is anything I or the other parents here can do.
