My name is Anthony Page, Sr I am a single father residing in Logan, Wv my son Anthony Page Jr. walked to Wendy's today with three of his neighborhood friends just before dark.. His friends grandfather which happens to be a West Logan police officer stopped by my home along with a younger gentleman looking for his grandchildren. After informing them that the kids walked to Wendy's and should be on their way home soon. The grandfather and the young man proceeded to Wendy' to pick his grandchildren up and according to the children, After asking him could Anthony have a ride home (which is on the same street) his answer to them was( HE CAN WALK) I'm not putting that black thing in my cruiser. A nine year old kid walking from Wendy's to Charles Street at night in 22 degree weather alone... This is who we hire to protect people? This is a police officer? Are you Kidding me? I'm so disturbed by this, I'm about to explode. People that still think in that manner, don't deserve air to breath let alone a job protecting the public. I'm going as far as I can go with this that's a promise. I ask that every please sign this and please tell your family and friends to as well. We have to stand together to prevent this from happening to someone else. The family and friends of a 9 year old Anthony Page, Jr.

The silence from the Logan Police Department is unacceptable and it proves they are hoping we just go away. Contact the Mayor today and demand a formal investigation into this officer. Post this link on your Facebook page so our neighbors know exactly what happened to my son.

The momentum behind this plea proves that our community will not tolerate this behavior from those sworn to protect us. Email the Logan Police Department today to demand an internal investigation into this officer. Post the link to this petition on your Facebook page to keep the pressure on.

To me this should be some kind of Child Abuse. If we would leave our children out there like that that is what it would be called. But for someone who has took an oath to serve and protect. This is just unethical for anyone much less a Police Officer. I hope you get all the things you accomplish out of this Petition.

This is very disturbing from anyone but from an officer its just not acceptable that our tax dollars are paying his salary to live in the community that he feels cant be diverse...He should be taken off the force immediately!!!!

It appears that there were two offenses: 1) The racist comment is totally unacceptable and 2) a nine year old child was left to walk home in 22 degree weather. This behavior is inappropriate for someone entrusted to serve and protect. I hope justice prevails in this matter.

older black people and minorities we are used to this type of treatment,we have seen this before its nothing new, but a 9 yr old boy, in 2014 should not have to endure the bitter sting of racism.

Anthony please do keep pushing this matter & do NOT give up until it's resolved in some way. Keep speaking the truth & eventually your story will be heard by the right ears & someone will take much needed action. Situations like this make me embarrassed to say that I'm from Logan, WV. Much love!!! Providence, Rhode Island

Officers are paid to protect and serve, This child should been given a ride home or the parent should been called and officer should stayed with the child until his parents came to pick him up. The streets are dangerous this child could have been harmed on his walk home. Sad a man would treat a child in this matter.
