| Sad moment for Dae'Anna a day after shooting |
It is heartbreaking not only that a 4 year old child was inside the car when Philando Castille was murdered, but is is even more devastating to listen to Dae'Anna's young voice as she bravely tried to console her mother with assurance not to worry since she is there for her. No young child should be placed in such a position in which they have to play a role as a parent to their mother or father. But, in the real world, this is the life many children face where they must grow up much sooner than expected. Incidentally, one has to wonder how could a cop be so heartless as to shoot inside a car in such close proximity to a young child. This action is simply an example of the overall attitude of so many towards a minority child - they don't care! But even more troubling and unacceptable is how this young child had to deal with even more tribulations by watching her mother's arrest which meant that now they would not be able to comfort each other in such a time of distress. Hopefully, someone will step-up-to-the-plate and ensure that Dae'Anna obtains well-needed counselling since seeing such a horrific incident as she did will remain with her for the rest of her life.
