Lost Innocence...


It saddens my heart to have heard of the death of a four year old boy, victim to a car hijacking in the city of Johannesburg (Gauteng) in South Africa.  Taegrin Morris, pictured above as a toddler, was caught in the straps of the seat belt he was wearing when his mother and siblings managed to escape from the car.  He was then subsequently dragged for several kilometers according to news reports.  He later succumbed to his injuries and his little body found near the abandoned vehicle.

In a separate incident, a five year old toddler who was also in the vehicle with her father when it was hijacked, was found a few days later unharmed.

This breaks my heart...what must be going through the mind of this little boys mother!  The pain and anguish of knowing that your little boy met with such a painful death!!!! It's unimaginable to most mother's yet it is this mother's reality today.  What pain this little boy had to endure in those last moments before his death.  Community members, who are tired of inefficient police services are now wanting to take matters into their own hands!

My prayer is that the mother and family of Taegrin Morris would find peace and comfort which, in my mind, can only come from God.

RIP Taegrin...
