15K Candles to Honor Scotty McMillan
On November - 7 - 2014
EDITOR’S NOTE: The details of this case are graphic and may be upsetting for some readers.
Thousands of people lit candles at 7 p.m. Friday to remember Scotty McMillan, the 3-year-old Philadelphia-area boy who prosecutors said was tortured and killed by his mother’s boyfriend. “How could you do that to a 3-year-old boy?” asked Jeff Messantonio, of Norristown, Pa., who started the Facebook page calling for people to simultaneously light candles, wherever they are, to “light the way to heaven” for Scotty. More than 16,000 people joined the event and honored the Chester County boy, who investigators said had already died before arriving at a local hospital Tuesday night. READ MORE HERE
