We did not see any girls or women but there were 6 black boys and one man moving the furniture into the house. Karen stopped one of the boys and asked...if they were the new neighbors or just the moving crew.The boy said His Dad had bought the house and the family was moving in today. He has 5 brothers. Their mom had been killed in a car crash two months ago just after they had bought the house. The boys were aged 14 to 18. They were new to the area and were anxious, with trepidation, to begin.

He thought his attempt to enter the place could either go really well or very badly. He stood below the camera for several.
