(By Doctor Boyce) Hi Readers,
I am going to be on ABC News today at 3:30 pm EST giving financial advice if you want to watch. The show is called "Good Money." Also, as we move forward from the Heather Ellis Case, I want to ask for your support on the case of Walter Currie Jr, a 14-year old African American male who was set on fire by one of his white classmates.
Walter's mother asked for our help in dealing with the police, who she claims have threatened retaliation if she speaks out on what happened to her son.
Also, according to his mother, Walter has been put in a classroom separate from the other students, since his teachers claim that his appearance would be disturbing to the other children (he is badly burned on his face and down his body).
This boy is in serious psychological pain and I want to help him.

I will gather more information and share a plan of action with you in the future. Walter lives in Pine Bluff, Missouri, about 50 miles away from Heather Ellis. I am beginning to think that Southeast Missouri is as bad as the deep south.
My team is investigating the Walter Currie case right now and I will be in touch soon with more details. Until that time, I humbly request that you share Walter's story with everyone you know and also join our coalition to pursue justice. Lawyers are especially welcome, since we consistently run into legal issues and can really use the extra man and woman power. If you have the desire and willingness to be involved (not only attorneys, but anyone), please send me an email describing your availability/skill set and we will include you on the team.
Until then, never be afraid and never tolerate ignorance. Life is too short to be weak.

Dr. Boyce
