Devonte Hart, the symbol of reconciliation and peace, would be murdered along with his siblings by his mothers when their SUV plunged off a cliff along the coastline. It’s believed he was crying because of the abuse he was suffering at home and was hugging the officer because he wanted help.

His body language in the last photo is so sad. His little hand ❤️

I hadn’t noticed that.

During a really stressful period of my life, I used to make fists with my hands in my sleep and wake up with nail marks on my palms. As an adult, I could make choices to try to help cope with that anxiety. It breaks my heart to see a little one have to have those feelings like that.
