More Focus on the Parents
RECEIVED Tue., July 3, 2007
Dear Editor,
The Austin Chronicle seems more concerned with the poor reportage of the Austin Police Department and trying to convince the public that the murder [of David Morales] had nothing to do with race or the Juneteenth celebrations [“The Morales Murder: Misreported worldwide,” News, June 29]. I'm not buying that at all. What I really want to know is where were the parents of this 2-year-old? What was a 2-year-old doing after dark in a parking lot? My kid would be in bed or an arm's reach away. I believe there should be much more focus on the parents. If they were doing their job as parents, this murder never would have happened.
