“I’m glad the community spoke up, got this guy off the streets,” said Alpheaus Marcus, a community organizer. Parents need to be more involved with their kids because, at the end of the day, there are predators on the internet, and this could happen again if we don’t keep an eye on what they do online. We want to stop this before it happens to someone else. After being taken to the hospital, the victim got care and was then sent home.
