...system to realize that "family" means more than just blood and race relations. Let's not allow technicalities to endanger this young boy's life. I'm sure Latrena Pixley was a victim of abuse and needs healing, but not at Cornilous' expense. It's obvious Pixley remains an unfit mother. WENDY LAM Carlsbad, Calif...
