The 'Real' March Madness
March is filled with Madness!
I’m not referring to the madness we all so adore watching the greatest and brightest college teams scour up and down the court at a chance to take first place in the NCAA basketball tournament. The madness I speak of is one that is not so pleasant . . . and is one that unfortunately goes unnoticed and becomes news… at the final hour. What March Madness am I referring to? you wonder. . . The madness that was splashed across our television screens and radio airwaves about how on March 4th, 38-year-old Latez Cornell Cooper drove to the home of his estranged wife in Largo, Maryland and shot his wife, shot and killed his wife’s sister, and shot and killed himself. The March Madness I speak of is how on March 5th, Stephen Grant confessed to strangling, dismembering and placing portions of his wife’s, Tara Grant’s body in a wooded area near their home in Michigan. The police found a torso in the couple’s garage believing it to be that of Tara’s. The March Madness I speak of is how on March 15th, 19-year old Tynesha Stewart, a Texas A&M student who’s boyfriend, Timothy Wayne Shepherd, strangled, dismembered and burned her body on a patio grill down to merely nothing. The March Madness I remember is how on Tuesday, March 27th, the police were searching for a motive in the deaths of four young children who’s remains were found in the family’s townhouse in Frederick, Maryland, along with the hanged body of their father, Pedro Rodriguez, and a missing mother. When asked if police believed their father killed them, the Frederick police spokesman replied “You’ve got four dead people, and a guy that hung himself. That leads you to one possibility.”
What March Madness? The real March Madness. The madness of how women are dying. The madness of how our children are dying. The madness and pace at which Domestic Violence is on the rise.
These four horrible, horrible, horrible incidents only touch the surface of a reality that is so often not talked about or quite frankly ignored. Last week, I presented the “Hushed Side of Domestic Violence” in which I discussed the need for us to speak up and speak out. Just imagine the change to these victims’ lives if only their news could have become ‘news’ before they were all brutally slain. Why does it take this ‘madness’ to get the attention of our media, to make the 11:00 news. Wouldn’t it be more noble to report about a survivor; then a slain victim.
This year’s March Madness is marked not only by a favorite pastime; but by the legacy of the victims whose names and stories deserve to be remembered.
