Earl Smith - 1995

The prosecution knew that all air was pushed out of this 9 year old boy, but their trouble were that the only witnesses were troubled children none would believe in court.

The result was that the gross negligence a staff member inflicted on Earl Smith resulted in a 18-month suspended sentence and 100 hours of community service.

That is not fair to either the relatives of the boy and of course Earl Smith himself.

May he rest in peace.
