Mason, with the curly blond mop and hazel eyes, was only 16-months-old when he died in a hit and run accident. On August 30th, the Roten family was driving in Walkertown, North Carolina, when a black Chevy Impala crossed the center lane into the path of their truck. Mason’s dad swerved to miss the impending head-on collision. The truck truck flipped and hit a tree, which fell on the their vehicle, crushing little Mason.
An Elkin High School alumni made and installed a bench near the playground at the Elkin Municipal Park. Each week Mason and his brother would play at the playground. Heather, Mason’s mom said, “They had a blast down here… He was just a joyful little boy.” The bench meant so much to the family and was engraved with Bible verses and crosses to memorialize their happy baby.
The bench vanished from the park because of the religious emblems on city property. Follow more of the story on page two.
People wake up read the Bible return to GOD and pray.
Shameful!
The city was wrong for doing this THE PEOPLE THERE SHOULD VOTE OUT ALL THE CITY COUNCIL AND GET ONLY CONSERVATIVE CHURCH GOING WHITE PEOPLE TO SERVE AND PUT THE BENCH BACK IT WAS GRANDFATHERED IN TIME FOR WAR ?
A sad commentary on today!
So wrong!
May our Dear Lord’s wrath curse all those responsible from this day forward.
So sorry
TODDLER’S MEMORIAL BENCH REMOVED FOR BIBLE VERSES
“The bench does have Religious symbols and Scripture in its
design which NO other bench in our park currently has.”

Once again, some intolerant hater has removed a memorial, dedicated to innocents, because of a Bible verse and a few crosses. Mason Roten’s young life was commemorated on this park bench after he lost his life in a hit and run accident. The bench had been placed right near the playground where Mason and his brother would come and play. Those who made the bench and installed it, said they got approval from parks and recreation to place it at the park.
Roten was shocked, saying sadly, “One day we come down here with this beautiful bench and tears of joy and now it’s being taken away as if we haven’t been through enough already. I just could not believe that they would take something away from my precious little baby like that.”
In Elkin we have an approval process for any bench to be added to our municipal park that is for a publicmemorial. This bench was added last Saturday without prior knowledge or approval. It was also installed on top of another memorial in the park. The bench was first noticed on Monday morning and was removed due to not being first approved by our recreation and parks director.
The bench does have religious symbols and scripture in its design which no other bench in our park currently has.
It is a beautiful bench and we are currently working to find another more suitable location for the bench which is in memory of a young child. Our Town Board will be discussing the matter at its next meeting to be held on December 14th. at 7 pm.

OUTRAGEOUS: Obama Targets Heroic Iraqi NUN, Denies US Visa for This Despicable Reason
So – OBAMA – the same man who rewards HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of real ILLEGAL immigrants with goodies galore has the audacity to accuse a Catholic nun of trying to deceive him
Insanity, what happened to freedom if religion.
By what right.
