Thanks r231, ive bn unbanned.

Scrypt:
I may be wrong, forgive me. Nevertheless, I am yet to understand why this thread is yet to see front page.

Sile12, can you help me understand why? .

It is really depressing beholding threads of picayune discussions such as Basketmouth's car, Tonto Dikeh's Pant, Davido's girlfriend make front page, while poignant threads such as this stay on the sidelines, agape with wonder as to when a MOD will be wise enough to let NLers see the beauty here, yet unseen.

The photo was found at a moving sale in Charlotte, accompanied by a document detailing the sale of John for $1,500. Let's hope he had a good home. What makes this picture scary is the fact that such human trafficking was once a fact of life in America.

161. A Tearful-Abandoned 12-Year-Old Girl Challenges Pope In Front Of 30,000 Crowd.


What a heart felt and passionate way to end a seven day visit to the Phillippines in Asia Continent as Pope Francis was touched by a question put forward by a 12 year-old girl at the Catholic University where over 30,000 attended Giyzelle Palomer the girl who had been a destitute and was later offered a shelter by a church-run community had been welcoming the Pope to the university, but went down in tears as she boldly asked her emotional question.

“Many children get involved in drugs and prostitution.
Why does God allow these things to happen to us? The
children are not guilty of anything.” The Pope was so deeply amazed and touched, full of emotion that he abardoned his already prepared speech just to attend to the girl in her native spannish dialet. Deeply moved, the Pope said: “She is the only one who has put forward a question for which there is
no answer and she was not even able to express it in words but rather in tears.” (2015)

163. George Stinney Jr became the youngest person to be
executed in the US in the 20th century when he was sent to the electric chair in 1944 at age 14, but more than 70 years after his death, his conviction has been overturned due to speedy and improper investigation and lack of evidence.

Stinney, an African-American youth from South Carolina, was convicted in a two-hour trial of the first degree murder of two pre-teen white girls: 11- year-old Betty June Binnicker, and 8-year-old Mary Emma Thames. However, no physical evidence existed in the case, and the sole evidence against Stinney was the circumstantial fact that the girls had spoken with stinney and his sister shortly before their murder, and the testimony of three police officers that Stinney had confessed that he committed the murder. He was executed by electric chair. Since Stinney's conviction and execution, the question of his guilt, the validity of his confession, and the judicial process leading to his execution have been criticized as "suspicious at best and a miscarriage of justice at worst. When he was executed in 1944, Stinney was so short he had to sit on a phone book so he would fit on theelectric chair and one of the electrodes was too big for his leg.
