Hello, Ed, on Dec. 9 I visited a church in South Trenton and observed a man sitting in the back, punching a girl of 10 or 11 three times in her head. Three other men grabbed him and dragged him out of the church. I stayed there throughout the whole incident, and at no time were the police called. I took a picture and I’d like to know what I should do? I think the pastor or men who dragged that man out of the church need to be brought up on charges. The girl was no more than 9 or 10, and I noticed a big knot had formed on her forehead. Please let me know what direction I should go; I don’t want to let this go. If he beats that girl like this in church, I can only imagine what he does at home behind closed doors. And the woman who was sitting beside him, she never opened up her mouth, never said anything. Evidently she’s afraid or she’s being beaten herself.

The Witness

So the police “weren’t called”? Do you have access to a phone? Call them with your story. —Ed. Note
