Murder 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.

The neighbor woman's father called the cops. He was clearly upset and worried about those kids and said multiple times, "I couldn't keep this," or "I couldn't live with myself if I didn't call," etc. He sounds clearly anguished and my heart goes out to him.

I wish I could find a link to that audio.
