Physical and/or emotional abuse of people and animals is always a difficult situation to comprehend. Disturbing acts such as extreme neglect that leads to illness, undernourishment, extreme emotional discomfort, and death is even more incomprehensible when done by someone entrusted to teach our children.

Josie, the sweet little yorkie, looked unrecognizable as a dog when she was rescued. We’re thankful that someone reported to authorities what they saw inside this teacher’s home. We’re heartbroken that despite best life saving efforts, Josie was unable to survive her trauma.

The Mr. Mo Project wanted desperately to bring her into our program and give her the caring and love she so deserved. After her death, our focus shifted to ensuring #JusticeForJosie, and being her voice to bring her abuser to justice. We still need stronger laws with stiffer animal cruelty penalties across our nation. Hearing that Josie’s abuser was suspended with pay from her teaching job is at least a step in the right direction.

If you can attend the next court hearing to support Josie and be her voice, the new court date is March 26, 2019.

Here are the latest details posted on the North Carolina Judicial Branch’s website:
