Willingboro, the Village that has become a Beacon of Hope

6th grader Ka'nyah Knight

In the early evening of November 19th 2019, 6th grader Ka'Nyah Knight went missing. No Amber Alert, nor major news station coverage. Just plain old local Police, yet Willingboro's finest men in blue letting the village know one of their children went missing. Lo and behold they may not be Burlington County Times, or your major TV station, but your local Facebook Groups such Boro Pride Community & Political Forum, The Real Boro Pride Discussion, Group: your Local TV station Boro TV, and your local News site via Facebook Blacklinenews.com @Black Willingboro was in full play. Search parties were immediately formed, and went to work in helping our fellow villagers find their child by helping our finest men in Blue of the Willingboro Police department with the  search. Although she was found by these fine dedicated men of Willingboro's police force, it was a village's resiliency to come together for the sake of our own that bought hope back to the village. Willingboro is Village Strong Baby!!!!!

We must take this as a learning lesson to teach our children to be aware of their surroundings. Tell them, no walking with ear buds and or talking on the phone; to be aware of their surroundings, and to walk home in groups; to look out for one another, for they are each other keepers. And to the Adults every child in this Village of Willingboro is our responsibility, let's start acting like it! Let's start being at those bus stops, walk home routes, hell sit outside and watch our children return home. remember their faces so you'll know who haven't seen return home. We are a Village!!
