Keishawn did not intentionally leave this child in the van...i think he is guilty of felony child neglect but involuntary manslaughter i don't think so.

Shawn, what exactly does "then again look what type of people we are dealing with?" mean? People do make mistakes. May the Lord have mercy on you the next time you make one. I do agree that he should have done a walk through of the van. But we weren't there that day. We don't know what was going on at the time. And the last I checked a sin is a sin is a sin; you'll have to answer for yours one day just like I will just like Keishawn Whitfield will!

I hope and pray that the judge will have mercy on Mr Whitfield and give him another chance. We all fall short sometimes but by God grace and mercy he forgives us and man should too.

I KNOW KEYSHAWN VERY WELL & THIS SITUATION HAS HIS HEART VERY HEAVY.PPL DEAL WITH THINGS DIFFERENTLY & NO ONE CAN JUDGE THE STIUATION. IT IS A SAD SITUATION AND YES I WOULD BE ANGRY IF IT WAS MY CHILD BUT WE ALL HAVE TO UNDERSTAND NOTHING BELONGS TO US AND EVERY HUMAN BEING BELONGS TO GOD AND ITS UP TO HIM WHEN HE CALLS YOU HOME NO MATTER WHO IT IS OR HOW IT HAPPENS.I KNOW EVERYBODY WONT BE ABLE TO HANDLE THAT BUT YOU HAVE TO HAVE A STRONG RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD AND KNOW THE WORD TO UNDERSTAND THIS. AS LONG AS KEYSHAWN ASK GOD FOR FORGIVENESS AND UNDERSTAND WHAT HE DID WAS CARELESS, GOD'S GONNA TAKE CARE OF HIM AND STRENGTHEN THE FAMILY OF THE CHILDS HEART.WHETHER WE WANT TO ACCEPT IT OR NOT IN GODS EYES A MISTAKE IS A MISTAKE WE JUDGE IT ON SCALES. WE HAVE TO STOP TRYING TO DO GOD'S JOB. I PRAY FOR KEYSHAWN, HIS FAMILY, THE BABY'S PARENTS AND FAMILY & THE JUDGE( IT HAS 2 BE HARD FOR HIM 2).BE BLESSED EVERYONE & MUCH LOVE

This is in response to Judgement Day, do you know Keishawn personally? you obviously have to to make that king of accusation that he is always in the club, but whether he is in the club or not should be your, or anyboby elses main concern especially if you do not know him. Keishawn is not a criminal so invoiuntary manslaughter is a bit much. My heart does go out to the Johnson family but throwing Keishawn in jail for 15 years or whatever the charges carry will not bring Andrew back. He is truley sorry for what happened like he said to channel 12 if he could take it back he would. He even tried to revive Andrew and got frustrated and punched thru a window when he couldnt. How many so called criminals would try to revive their victim and get frustrated when they can not? Some are acting like Keishawn is heartless and he's not Andrew has been at that daycare for about 11 months, so daycare providers as well as Keishawn developed a relationship and a love for Andrew also, children that attend the daycare as well as children outside the daycare love Keishawn. He does not have a criminal record, kept this job for 5 years plus, not out involving himself in criminal activities, so we should not make him a criminal like keishawn said "where is my justice" One more thing for the record Keishawn wasnt rushing to get home to go to sleep he was rushing to get the kids out of the van because he didnt want the kids in the van alone too long because he was afraid they might try to get out and possibly run in the street. SO MEDIA GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT.

It is true though...in response to Judegement Day... i seen him some shit of times spotted a at the club having a ball like nothing happened but at the same time maybe he was just trying to releive some stress since he know he was going down for the situation. But NO i wouldnt be partying all ova richmond either if I had these type of charges pending and EVERYONE who know keshawn knows whats going on...its all about making the right decisions!! But hopefully he will just get what he deserves because at the end of the day his recklessness left a child dead. Thats the big picture PEOPLE! A family wont ever see their child again because of him so he needs to get something....

He is human everyone makes mistakes so i guess for every mistake you make you should get everything you deserve right?????????? He only has to prove himself to GOD everyone else is just going off of hear-say

Daily Horoscope for December 11

Scorpio

Take it slowly today otherwise you'll be almost guaranteed to lose your temper and make yourself very unpopular in the process. If someone is annoying you, you won't need any encouragement to start a row because you're looking for outlets for your current ire and irritation. OK, but do your best to direct your anger at the person who deserves it and not at innocent bystanders.
