    Default How a black boy who grew up in a crime ridden area changed his life

    Elizabeth Price is well used to answering the door of her smart Kensington townhouse to all sorts of people. Delivery drivers, door-to-door salesmen, Jehovah’s Witnesses — they’ve all regularly graced her elegant doorstep. More unusual, however, was the 17-year-old boy who rang the intercom one warm spring afternoon four years ago. He introduced himself as Reggie Nelson, and explained that he lived on an East End council estate and simply wanted some advice about how he too could one day live in a wealthy area like this. Many of us, faced with a similarly unexpected visitor, would probably find an excuse to shut the door as quickly as possible — suspecting some sort of scam or possible attempted robbery.

    Of course, in many parts of the US, he would have been shot for his audacity.

    This can't be a real story. The government assures me that people won't help out folks without a gun to their heads.
    If you believe that man is good, there is no need for government. If you believe that man is bad, you dare not create one.

    I didn't read the link, but I'm guessing he tied her up, then raped her, then ransacked the house and found all her money and jewels and everything like that.

    Or by the police before he got to her elegant doorstep. Maybe in his own apartment or while on the job.

    You Quim, you basically spelled it out by calling him a 'black boy'. How 'old' was the 'boy'?
