Boot Print on the Back of a Teenager

Adrienne Carey Hurley: Boot Print on the Back of a Teenager

According to an article by his mother in the Minnesota Independent, Keith Smith (17) wasn't allowed to call her while in police custody, was beaten, and was denied medical treatment for the injuries you see in this photo. Excerpt:

To our horror, despite his medical
needs, he was released from the Juvenile Detention Center, into the
darkness of night, alone, without a parent ever having been contacted,
to a city that was unfamiliar to him, by the Ramsey County Juvenile
Division. He was forced to borrow a stranger’s cell phone to call
home. After much confusion about his location, his father found him and
brought him into our hometown hospital for medical treatment. They
treated his multiple wounds, bruises and scrapes, took pictures, wound
measurements and after hearing the story, stated that they would record
the incident as a criminal assault.

It is very interesting for me to read the article. Thank you for it. I like such themes and everything that is connected to them. I definitely want to read a bit more on that blog soon. By the way, pretty good design you have here, but what do you think about changing it once in a few months?

And how about adding some more illustrations? I don’t want to offend anyone, blog is really nice. But as I’ve heard humans acquire information much more efficient when there are some helpful pics.
