LOCAL 4 NEWS AT 11 STARTS NOW. A
CALL FOR JUSTICE IN DETROIT
AFTER A FIVE YEAR OLD BOY DIES
IN A CASE OF ABUSE, FAMILY
MEMBERS GATHERED TONIGHT IN THE
CITY’S EAST SIDE TO REMEMBER
ETHAN BELCHER. HE’S THE VICTIM
KILLED IN WHAT PROSECUTORS ARE
CALLING A CASE OF CHILD ABUSE.
JACQUELINE FRANCIS WAS AT
TONIGHT’S VIGIL. SHE JOINS US
NOW WITH MORE ON WHAT WAS AN
EMOTIONAL NIGHT, JACQUELINE.
PAMELA SO MUCH HAS HAPPENED IN
THE TWO WEEKS SINCE ETHAN’S
DEATH FROM HIS MOM AND STEPDAD
BEING CHARGED WITH MURDER AND
TORTURE TO LAWMAKERS MAKING
NOISE IN LANSING FIGHTING FOR
BETTER PROTECTION OF CHILDREN.
BUT TONIGHT WAS THE FIRST TIME
THE FAMILY REALLY GOT A CHANCE
TO BEGIN GRIEVING. I DON’T KNOW
WHAT WITH MY GRANDDAD, THE YOUNG
BOY’S DEATH THAT HAS OUTRAGED SO
MANY FIVE YEAR OLD ETHAN BELCHER
DIED TWO WEEKS AGO. HIS MOM AND
STEPDAD ARE CHARGED IN HIS
MURDER, ACCUSED OF CHILD ABUSE
AND TORTURE. HASN’T EVEN BEEN
LAID TO REST. YEAH WE HAVEN’T
GOT TO DO THAT. YEAH, WE HAVEN’T
HAD OUR CLOSURE YET, EITHER. SO
IT’S SO HARD EVEN YOU KNOW TO
WAIT FOR THAT CLOSURE. FOR
ETHAN’S AUNT. PART OF THAT
CLOSURE WAS HOLDING A VIGIL
OUTSIDE THE DETROIT HOME WHERE
IT HAPPENED. PROSECUTORS SAY THE
PARENTS WOULD BEAT ETHAN AND HIS
SIBLINGS AND FORCED THEM TO STAY
IN THE BASEMENT FILLED WITH
SEWAGE. THERE WAS NO SITTING
SILENT ON THIS THAT WE COULDN’T
SIT DOWN AND WE’RE NOT GOING TO
BE SILENT AND UNCLES NOW SETTING
OUT TO MAKE STRANGE AFTER SAYING
THEY REPORTED THE ABUSE TO CPS
INTO POLICE MORE THAN A YEAR AGO
, DESPITE AN INVESTIGATION, THE
KIDS REMAINED IN THE HOME. LOVED
ONES, ENDING THE VIGIL WITH A
PROMISE YOU WILL ALWAYS LIVE IN
ALL OF OUR HEARTS. FOREVER. AND
WE WILL ALL FIGHT FOR YOU TO
HAVE CHANGED FOR ALL KIDS. NO
OTHER CHILD HAS TO BE ABUSED. GO
THROUGH WHAT YOU WENT THROUGH.
NO CHILD DESERVES THAT. WE WILL
FIGHT FOR CHANGE SO ALL CHILDREN
COULD BE SAFE IN THEIR OWN
HOMES. BLESS YOU, ETHAN. IT WAS
JUST THIS PAST WEEK THAT STATE
LAWMAKERS JOINED THE FAMILY IN
CALLING FOR CHANGE. IN THE WAKE
OF THIS TRAGEDY, YOU CAN FIND
OUR COVERAGE ON THAT AND MORE ON

MILITARY SHOOT DOWN OF A
SUSPECTED CHINESE SPY BALLOON, A
US FIGHTER JET FIRED A MISSILE

THE ATLANTIC NEAR THE SOUTH
CAROLINA COAST. PRESIDENT BIDEN
SAYS HE MADE THE CALL TO TAKE
THE BALLOON DOWN. IT WAS FIRST
SPOTTED FLYING OVER MONTANA DAYS

MINISTRY SAYS OFFICIALS
EXPRESSED STRONG DISSATISFACTION
AND PROTESTS AGAINST THE U. S
USE OF FORCE. CHINA MAINTAINS
THE AIRSHIP WAS FOR CIVILIAN USE

TO RECOVER KEY ELEMENTS OF THE
BALLOON AND WILL THEN COORDINATE

INTELLIGENCE AUTHORITIES TO
ANALYZE WHAT WAS FOUND. TIME NOW
