Current research shows that the harmful ingredient that hurts the children is not divorce, but conti ...

Man, teen held in execution-style Newark killings NEWARK - A 28-year-old man and a 15-year-old boy face murder charges in the execution-style killings of three college students and wounding of another in a schoolyard shooting, officials announced yesterday. Authorities said they expected more arrests. While Newark has become accustomed to violence, Saturday night's shootings touched a nerve. The four victims, described by authorities as "good kids" with no criminal records, were planning to attend Delaware State University this fall.
Incensed neighborhood activists were quick to blame Mayor Corey Booker for falling short on his pledge to crack down on street violence. Residents and law enforcement organizations have donated $150,000 to aid the victims' families and to fund a reward. Authorities said they believe robbery was the motive. On Wednesday night, police arrested a 15-year-old boy from Newark. During a news conference yesterday announcing the search for a second suspect, Jose Carranza, 28, Booker got word Carranza wanted to surrender. "I said simply, let's find a spot," Booker ...
