The boy was gorgeous, dancing, showman even then. I cried based on what could have been if he had been led with loving care by someone who actually saw him as a person not a cash cow. He could have led so many people into their God given destiny if he had been certain of his own. He had talent as did his brothers but he stood out because of an extra dose of charisma which only God could give. We can learn that an early walk with The Lord can keep us from much of the things that come against even precious and innocent children. May God have mercy on his soul! Thanks for the fifty years and hopefully we can learn from the good, the bad and the ugly.
