In honor of Black History Month I’m profiling one African-American MP every day on this blog for the month of February. Today’s case is Stephen Christopher Beard, a fourteen-year-old boy who disappeared from Baltimore, Maryland on June 2, 2001.
He had a guardian at the time of his disappearance, and I wonder how well he was being guarded, since it says he liked to go to local nightclubs.
I wonder if he is still alive. It sounds like he knew how to take care of himself, so I’m hoping. It’s been close to twenty years now.

How does a 14 year old in care go to nightclubs and just vanish !
Where were the child protective authorities that were meant to check on him and his carers?
This is a unrelated to your post but I’ve noticed that some of the old links are broken since the re-design of the website. I’m not sure how much control you have of link structure ( or if it’s hosted on a CMS platform) but it would be helpful to redirect old links to the new location.

Yeah, I would like to get the links redirected but I don’t know how.
If you need some help with this, I would be glad to give some advice/pointers. It’s important bc I think there’s many existing links scattered across the internet that point to the old URLs…
