For those of you who followed the story of Neli Latson of Stafford, Virginia last spring: after 8 1/2 months, he was released from prison on Monday. This morning he is waking up at his new school. Neli, who has a diagnosis of Asperger’s, will receive excellent intervention and support . . . thanks to the many hundreds of hours of hard work that volunteers in our community spent negotiating, wheedling, and praying for this young man.

This is great news. What happened to the uniformed criminals who abused this good man? Will you take them to court?
