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.
America use to be based on Religious Freedom, God Bless America and In God we Trust. Now it’s Don’t hurt the Muslims or any others feelings, don’t step on there toes. I can’t wait to get a New President, and new Senators and Represenatives so Prayer and God will be put back into our Society. If I was a member of the Roten Family I would do everything I could to see that the Mayor and all of the city counsel loses there jobs come next election.
What I Would fight someone over this.this is America and if you atheists or god haters don’t like it GET OUT
How dare they do that man .. thats just WRONG!
And good people stand in silence and let things like this happen !!!!!!!!
Take your silly excuses and get down on your knees and pray for forgiveness, hiding behind such a silly rule speaks volumnes about how dumb you are.
Because it’s not politically correct to even think much less say anything about Jesus, the cross , the bible. Now if that was just a ordinary bench , no problem
That is crazy
Sandra Doran Moses Vona it isn’t near his body it is at a park they played in .
yeah! walk around the cemetery and see the things that are put on grave sites! There are people out there so full of hate and trying to stop everyone from doing things that no one had a problem with before all of the sudden we can not having verse’s or cross’s so cruel to the memorial away
Considering it is on top of ANOTHER memorial…. We really gonna complain about it being moved? They can Permanently install it nearby in a manner that will ensure it cannot be removed again.
