Mother Jailed For Sending Kids to Wrong School District



"An Ohio mother of two was sentenced to 10 days in jail and placed on three years probation after sending her kids to a school district in which they did not live. Kelly Williams-Bolar was sentenced by Judge Patricia Cosgrove on Tuesday and will begin serving her sentence immediately.

The jury deliberated for seven hours and the courtroom was packed as the sentence was handed down. She was convicted on two counts of tampering with court records after registering her two girls as living with Williams Bolar's father when they actually lived with her. The family lived in the housing projects in Akron, Ohio, and the father’s address was in nearby Copley Township.

Additionally, Williams-Bolar’s father, Edward L. Williams, was charged with a fourth-degree felony of grand theft, in which he and his daughter are charged with defrauding the school system for two years of educational services for their girls. The court determined that sending their children to the wrong school was worth $30,500 in tuition." Read More

Chicago Bouncers: Win Tickets To See Amel Larrieux In Concert!



"SoulBounce is proud to announce a new partnership with The Shrine in Chicago, and to kick off this musical relationship we're giving away a pair of tickets to see Amel Larrieux on Friday, January 7th. Amel will grace the stage as part of their Good Friday series and perform hits from her Groove Theory days and her beloved solo jams. Mrs. Larrieux is a joy to see live and if you're lucky she'll bring her baby girls with her, too, and her oldest, Sky, will perform.

Derrion Albert



so my thoughts are...i luv how "they" (media and others) are acting as if crime and violence in Chicago is new. I remember hearing about how dangerous it was when i was a little girl. but what i luv most is how now that it has national attention "they" want to be o so concerned and put their best foot foward. for what?! to put a couple of misguided children in prision...which they were prolly already headed to neway. that "concern" is gonna last for all of a month. until the next tragedy happens to divert our attention and then just as quick as they came "they" will be gone. that little boy will still be dead. the security on the block will be gone. more strict rules will be put in place for the youth in that community but it will prolly make them feel more like the criminals than the victims. none of the proper avenues will be taken to really make this young boys death benefical to the upliftment of his community becuz the truth "they" could give a shit less.
