The weight of this process is heavy and there are many nights where I wonder if the system hears us at all. I am staying focused on the reality of these permanent injuries while we wait for any word on the next hearing.

The days have been long and exhausting but I am still here pushing for Malachi. We are creeping toward our first hundred signatures and I need you to help me get there now. Please post this link to your social media so he does not disappear into the background.

The path forward feels heavy and the exhaustion is setting in. We are almost at two hundred and fifty signatures and that milestone is necessary for us to be taken seriously. Please keep pushing because we cannot afford to let this momentum fade now.

This young man and his mother have worked tirelessly to over come the grave harm done by this man. I beg of you to please let not there hard work and suffering be in vain.
Please hold this man in custody if a retrial must happen and do not release him to the general population while awaiting retrial. He was found guilty once and should not be released while waiting for further court attention. This was a deliberate and brutal crime to a small child.
Child abuse is absolutely inexcusable and this vile excuse for a human being should be made to serve his full sentence. Frankly, 9 years is not enough to make up for the life time of trauma this poor child will endure.
ATTENTION !! JUSTICE FOR MALACHI !! Malachi needs your support !! As you know my son was burned by his father when he was 2 yrs old !! His father was convicted of felony child abuses !! His case is being overturned on a technicality ! I know if you all can be in court to show your support Please make sure Dante Roberson (docket#H55115) stays convicted of hurting and burning Malachi !
Do NOT release Dante Roberson for the abuse he inflicted on his son at age 2. He is still affected by it today mentally, emotionally and physically. Prayers for Malachi Roberson!
His crime deserves the entire sentence. Possibly more.
Please protect the children and communities of America by keeping this criminal detained for the maximum amount of time.
