What our world is coming to is sickness! Sexual abuse is everywhere. The person that posted the first post needs to hear what I halft to say! All preditors likes to be around there prey!! Mary Kate Laterno sound familiar? HELLO!!!!!! I was an abused victim. Example: my preditor was an outstanding member in St.Clair county as well as in the christian comunity. Owned his own business and always chose to be around kids. My life experience is one no child needs to go through. We called him uncle how was I to go tell my parents what I was going through because fear that they would not believe me.(like u in this case) You know what they would have been just like you! A disgrace for parenting. I was 5 years old my first memory of the abuse. Terrified! When I turned 18 I went to DA before it was all over with,the nightmares of the abuse I had to look into the sad and damaged little girls eyes from 4 to 12 and wished I could have took there sorrow! I felt guilt if only I knew it would have been ok if I told.8 counting me this man has abused for decades. If my children came to me and told me this had happened to them I wouldnt doubt them. when i had my little girl i knew then i did the right thing. I didnt just save her from that one man but saved many! Comments like what u said is why there was 8 in ten years! there was more but statue of limitations had ran out. My prayers is with you and your family because preditors are all around you!May even call them uncle aunt teacher pastor minister mom dad. they dont stop because u trust them. They stop when u stop them.

why does there need to be a National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day? Shouldn't it be HIV/AIDS Day? Why divide it? The disease does not divide.

Many teachers do not commit such an act. That child lived with that teacher. Teachers have to pay for background checks. Maybe we need to start strapping down on the truancy laws and putting parent's in jail for not making their students go to school. People need to know the whole, true story before you go assuming that the teacher have sexual relations with someone else's child.

Both OF YALL CAN SHOW SOME RESPECT BECAUSE SHE HAS NEVER BEEN A BAD MOTHER TO EITHER ONE OF HER KIDS. SHE IS A SINGLE MOTHER DOING HER BEST JUST TO MAKE IT. IF YOU PUT YOURSELF IN HER SHOES THAN YOU WOULD HAVE ALOT MORE RESPECT ON WHAT YOU. ARTAVIUS IS NOT A BAD CHILD ITS THE FRIENDS AROUND THAT INFLUENCE HIM. THE BIRMINGHAM TEENAGE BOY'S LIFE REVOLVES AROUND GANGS VIOLENCE AND GUNS AND THAT'S A LIFE YOU CANT ESCAPE WHEN YOU HAVE THOSE INFLUENCES AROUND YOU. 95% OF TEENAGE BOYS IN BIRMINGHAM ALABAMA ARE IN GANGS AND MOST VIOLENT ACTIVITIES. AND THATS SOMETHING MOTHER LIKE RAMONA UNDERWOOD CANT KEEP ARTAVIUS AWAY FROM IF IT IS AROUND HIM BY HIS OWN CHOICE.

Artavius IS A GOOD BOY INSIDE AND I FEEL THAT THE LOST OF HIS FATHER TRIGGERED THIS BEHAVIOR OUT OF HIM. I LOVE MY COUSIN and i want to make all this go away becuz he is not this Monster Everyone saying he is. I love you Artavius Keep your head up God will help you through this.

This is a shame. Two of the young men were cousins of a friend of mine. To Ms. Underwood, just because your son says yes sir and yes mam, does not mean he is good. Why did you not know where this teenager was at 3:30 in the morning,. A lot of this I blame on the parents who are not raising their children. Do you know where your child is? That is the question. As long as we continue to ket our yiung men run the sstreets like packs of dogs the problem will continue. Another generation of young african american men lost. When will we lkearn. Our youngsters are either in jail or in the grave. Wake up.

The Acker family appears to be having some problems!

I am tired of those thugs mothers getting on TV saying how schocked they are that their son is bad. She knew long time ago that he was bad. she should get charged with something. Back in the day parents were respondseable for what their kids did. if your kid broke in on someone the parent would beat the child all the way to the place of the crime make them give back what they took and make them apologise.then make them do what it took to make that person right. because children were a refelction of their parents.so they would try to raise them with respect and manners and keep them respectable.
