The Story of a 6-year-old Angel

A child in charge of `6 babies'
In the chaos that was Causeway Boulevard, this group
of refugees stood out:
a 6-year-old boy walking down
the road, holding a 5-month-old, surrounded
by five
toddlers who followed him around as if he were their leader.


They were holding hands. Three of the children were about
2, and one was
wearing only diapers. A 3-year-old girl, who
wore colorful barrettes on the
ends of her braids, had her
14-month-old brother in tow. The 6-year-old spoke

for all of them, and he told rescuers his name was
Deamonte Love.
