Three high school nominees for Homecoming King decided that no matter which one of them won, they would give the crown to a young man with special needs. This was no prank or way to embarrass him. It was an honor for a beloved junior named Scotty Maloney, who has Williams Syndrome, a neurological disorder that inhibits learning and speech. Homecoming night he got a lot of that loving back–and wild cheering along with a standing ovation.

It’s good to be reminded that there are young people that have compassion within them..Diane
I believe there are more young people who have compassion than not. They just don’t tend to get as many articles written about them. I wonder what would happen if they did.

What a wonderful show of caring displayed by the youth… this does give me hope for the future…
I believe that caring is closer to the norm than not. Sadly, so are fear and the feeling of powerlessness. If we can empower those who care, I believe the world would improve in many wonderful ways.
