     I believe that something’s are almost impossible to put to words, and the loss of a child is one of those things.  Our community is still reeling over the loss of 8 year old Hiawayi Robinson; the little girl that didn't have the opportunity to make it to her ninth birthday party. 

     We (this community) look at her pictures and we see our child smiling back at us; our little girl with attitude, charm, innocence, and beauty.

      Now we’re all looking for answers from the Prichard Police Department and they in turn are silent.  It’s as if the case has gone cold before it even got started.  Why aren't the streets talking?  It talks any other time!  Why now is it silent? 

     Case in point; why did Hiawayi leave her home to go to a cousin’s house to get money from her Dad?  Why didn't he (her Dad) go take the money to her; where she was -at the time?  She was an eight year old child!  Plus, who was she going to the store with and who gave her the four dollars?  Did the Cops secure the money from the till just-in-case the ones were still in the store; a valuable piece of evidence may I add (if they did their job). 

     What I’d really like to know; “Is the father a suspect in this case?”  In light of recent events with these Father’s (Donald C. Spirit and Timothy Roy Jones Jr.) killing their children; I’d say it wouldn't be far-fetched to label him one; a suspect.  Who else knew she wanted to go to the store and get some candy?  Hum! Was there an insurance policy on Hiawayi and who benefits; sometimes it’s easier just to follow the money?

      I saw on the news where the Police department raided his (her father) home and the home of his current girlfriend but was it enough?  I’ll tell you what!  I don’t believe in this drug deal gone wrong theory.  No drug dealer is going to purposefully bring that much heat and attention to their activities by killing an eight year old child. 

     But wait!  Is it just me or has the Mother been acting sort of odd?  I don’t recall one time during any of her interviews or time on camera that she actually asked for the killer to be caught or asked for justice for her child.

     I’m just saying and if I’m wrong can someone please correct me.  I just feel like I want to see some anger from her.  Her child was murdered and most of the time I see her on the news smiling.  I would be screaming for justice on the rooftop of my house for my child and nobody would be able to shut me up.  How can she obtain such joy and peace inside after such a tragedy?

     There are answers out there people but I believe the cops need to do a better job to find them.  I also believe that some of you can probably help; awaken these silent streets!  We need justice for Hiawayi.

     This is your girl, Lady PJ, much love and peace.
