Dear Editor:

I was very upset after reading last week’s article Protest after sex offender awarded custody to think that, while this family is trying to get this child back to Baker County, you and Todd Ferreira would take this opportunity to make this lady (Rita Crews) look like a bad person for not paying a funeral bill.

Everybody owes somebody.

The article should have pointed out that it’s a shame no one but a handful of the approximately 26,000 people in Baker County showed up at the courthouse to protest for this poor child. Not one elected official has stood up for this family.

Shame on you all!

I assure you that if I wasn’t disabled, I would be the first one to hold a sign reading “Judge Phyllis Rosier — what were you thinking?”
