I have checked and found that the vandals were 5 adults and 1 juvenile. The names of juveniles are not allowed to be published but there is no reason that the 5 adults and a report of the incident should not have been reported in the papers naming the adults and omitting the juvenile. Letters to the editor may be sent by email to the papers questioning why this was not published. If we flood them with this type of inquiry I feel sure they can’t ignore it.

The church, organized in 1831, was no longer active but remained a place of meditation and solitude for many persons. Due to this ongoing vandalism certain persons determined to do a "watch" and teenagers were witnessed damaging the church, including the breaking of the old church windows. All this was reported to the Sheriff's Office. Several persons were Arraigned on August 6 and this will be continued on Aug. 22 at the Weakley County Courthouse. (None of this was published in the court records of the newspaper, as normally happens.) Many are concerned that this will be glossed over DUE to the HIGH profile of some of the parents. (Conservative estimates of the damage are over $6,000.) It is hoped that justice will be served. We have all done stupid things but we usually have to pay the price, for being stupid.

Here is my response....RESPONSIBILITY.....is the name of the game. Too much irresponsibility has been bread into the younger generation of today. Additionally, a call in to the WCMT morning call in show from 8:00 to 9:00, should be considered. That number is 731-588-1410. With the exception of the juvenile, everything else is public information, that can be obtained from law enforcement records.
