@TechNinjaTodd Someone who will love my child as a surrogate mom during the day - they will hold them to high standards and will shower them with praise when they deserve it and hugs when they need them.
Ralph Yarl, age 16, knocked on the wrong door in Missouri and was shot.
He went to the door at the wrong home to pick up his younger twin brother and that’s when he was shot, according to police.
CBS affiliate KCTV reports: “The correct address Yarl was attempting to go to was a block away. According to the victim’s Aunt, Faith Spoonmore, the homeowner opened his door and then opened fire on Yarl. The man, whose identity has not been released yet, allegedly took a second shot at Yarl, hitting him in the head again.”
According to KSHB TV: “Yarl was shot by a homeowner after mistakenly arriving at the wrong address — 1100 block of Northeast 115th Street instead of 1100 block of Northeast 115th Terrace.”
The shooting happened April 13th.
The shooter was held by police for 24 hours, pending investigation, but then released.
“I want everyone to know that I am listening,” Kansas City police chief Stacy Graves said at a news conference at Kansas City police headquarters downtown, “and I understand the concern we are receiving from the community.”
“Yarl is the utmost example of how you want a young man to carry himself in this world,” said one of the teen’s longtime teachers to the Kansas City Star. Meara Mitchell, a teacher of Yarl’s for several years, called his shooting “incomprehensible.” She described him Sunday as a “stellar human-being” with a “quiet fortitude.”
KCTV 5 adds: “Yarl is a section leader in his school’s marching band and is said to be a top-base clarinet player in the state of Missouri.”

@kelseybogan@BNBuzz That’s a huge disappointment. I have traveled to @BNBuzz so many times, even though Amazon is way easier. I’ll no longer be doing that.
@betchelorpod Yes, I said this to my friends the other day. I originally thought it was a good thing, but now I think it has to do with control. I think he struggles with girls who don’t fit into his perfect image of what a woman should be.
I called Michigan State home for four of the greatest years of my life.
At no point did I ever feel unsafe. Never.
To see students fleeing on foot in fear of an active shooter on campus is incomprehensible.
I am devastated.
I don't care how much you hate Ted Cruz.
His daughter is not him and she is her own person.
She needs support and the family deserves privacy.
Far too many families know what it's like to have a child attempt suicide or die by it. No one should have to know that pain.
Congrats to the honors students at EMS who were recognized for their academic success, one of the many ways our GB kids excell! #WeAreGB https://t.co/XGne93takN

@TheTayMack @LittleMissFlint@BarackObama@POTUS44 Wow, Mari! Barack Obama AND Taylor Hale?!? I’m super jealous! ❤️🐾 Hope you had fun even without the pic!
It’s PD mania for me this week. I won this book yesterday at the #micip conference out on by #mde, and today I’m in Kent County for the Michigan Leadership Summit, learning about #nwea.
