(via What happened to Quawan “Bobby” Charles)

It's been two weeks since 15-year-old Quawan "Bobby" Charles disappeared from his father's Baldwin home in St. Mary Parish and 10 days since officers discovered his body in the rural Iberia Parish village of Loreauville. Little information has been released by law enforcement in the case, which gained widespread attention after Bobby's family released a graphic image they say was taken while confirming the teen's identity to authorities.

Image transcription under the cut

On October 30, 2020, a 15 year old black boy named Quawan Charles “Bobby” was found lynched near Loreauville, Louisiana. His face was mutilated and unrecognizable like another Emmit Till. He was last seen with a white peer and that peer’s guardian without the consent of Charles’ guardians. The Baldwin Police Department could have saved his life, but instead they did nothing, and they continue to refuse to be cooperative with his family. The Charles family just want answers. They just want to know what happened to their baby boy.

PLEASE LEARN ABOUT QUAWAN CHARLES. PLEASE SPREAD AWARENESS ABOUT THIS. PLEASE STOP SHARING THE GRAPHIC PHOTOS.

TW// death, antiblack murder, emmit till imagery, hate crimes

black people, be careful, people are spreading images of a Quawan Charles, a 15yo black child who was brutally murdered. Extremely graphic images of his corpse, along with the corpse of Emmit Till, are being spread around due to what started as a informational post. At least on tiktok, people are using it as a jump scare and using him as a meme. please be safe, and stay vigilant. I know you’re tired.

Also to add, if you happen to see a donation link from his family, the first image you will see is his corpse, so please keep this in mind if you wish to donate.

Quawan “Bobby” Charles was murdered

15-year-old Quawan went missing and was found days later in a sugarcane field in Iberia Parish. When his body was retrieved he had a large knot on his head and body appeared to be disfigured.

After the family reported Quawan missing to the local police department, they did not issue an Amber-alert which is usually standard once a child is missing more than 24-hr hours. There hasn’t been an autopsy report as of yet and the family believes they are not receiving the media coverage the case deserves. I’m no detective, I’m no news reporter, I’m no journalist, I am a person who happens to be a mother who has a heart with hopes that with me sharing Quawan’s story justice will soon be served.

I hate hearing stories like this and hate sharing stories like this even more. I like to think if the shoe was on the other foot what would I want to be done. The most I can do currently is share his story and pray that peace and justice come to Charles’ family.

Black children go missing way too often in America. About 14% of US children are black, but black children account for more than a third of missing child cases. It’s easy to scroll past these types of stories and pretend it didn’t happen but it did happen and you can help make a difference by sharing his story and educating yourself on things that are happening across America to black children and adults.

[ace-with--a-mace]

Every single fucking day I and many other black people wake up hating being black in America. We can't do anything in this country without being too suspicious or too threatening or looking too violent or 'scaring' people or 'attacking' people.

⚠️Rant ig, cut it off so you dont need to read it if you dont wanna⚠️

We can't breathe, can't sleep, can't play with water guns, cant jog, can't buy stuff, can't walk by certain towns, can't party, can't play music, can't come home from subway, can't exist, can't play outside, can't walk home from work, can't go to target, can't play with our children outside on our property, can't be at the wrong place at the wrong time, cant walk into our own homes, cant get legally and respectfully pulled over, can't use our cellphones, can't eat bread, can't play with nerf guns, can't enjoy being children without having to please other people just so we can hope of coming home safe, can't wear hoodies, can't shop without being checked and scanned for theft, can't participate in certain paid activities because people assume you're broke, can't get proper recognition in media, can't talk about our struggles without being dismissed as too soft or too angry, can't get icecream, can't tell people what is and isn't racist, can't be taken seriously, can't get justice, can't do anything. When will all the fucking can'ts end?? It's so exhausting, our presence alone could 'justify' our murders. Elijah McClain, Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, Trayvon Martin, Quawan Charles, Tamir Rice, Stephon Clark, Gabriella Navirez, Brandon Bernard, and so many more people who should be alive today. We fight countless hours, days, weeks, months, even years on end and never receive a sliver of justice and yet nothing happens because nobody takes us seriously and they selfishly live in the lie that everything and everyone is equal in 2020, when thats far from the truth. Black Lives fucking Matter, and if you don't support BLM or support blue lives matter or support Trump then get the fuck off my page.

A little bit about Quawan “Bobby” Charles’ Lynching

So, I was reading around and doing research of sundown towns for a paper I’m writing and I found out about 15 year old Quawan “Bobby” Charles who lived in Acadiana, Louisiana. He went missing on October 30 and was found dead in a creek (which is questionable because he couldn’t swim). His body was mutilated and he doesn’t look the same as he was when he was alive. When his mother started to get worried about him not responding to multiple missed phone calls, interactions with police were brushed off until 3 days later.

Although there is an extremely high chance this was racially motivated, the police have not ruled anything nor has a call about the reason of death been made. His family is raising money in a GoFundMe to conduct their own autopsy, as the church community of St. Mary’s release the reports of the first autopsy. If you do plan to donate, keep in mind that a photo of his body (along with Emmett Till’s) is on the front page.

Protests are being organized for the police to actually DO something and arrest/find his killers. Please share and do some more reading into this information, and let the people in charge know that we will not let this stand.

Quawan charles was found lynched November second. As you can see in the picture text to him is a black and white picture of Emmett Till. That's what they are comparing his murder too. The parent asked the police to make an amber alert and they said "no worries he's probably at a football game" he was taken from his house by a friend and thier parent w/o his parents knowing. The family wants a independent autopsy done to find out what actually happened.

So this isn't going to be a usual post about K-pop my next post is going to be about K-pop because I did promise that I will tell you guys who I'm voting for for the mama awards but this is more on a serious topic. We're going to be discussing what the two links are and what they're going to be used for and how you can help both these causes. We're going to start with the second link since that's going to be easier to explain. If you don't already know what's going on in Nigeria there is this group called an anti robbery group. Also known as SARS. SARS is a corrupt group that is killing its own people,, and very unjust ways that don't speak for what they were created for. The second link is a petition that you can sign to help end SARS for good I will continue to make these type of posts every now and then to update you on different stories that's going on in the real world and also give you different links on different things I know . The next post I'll be posting is actually going to be a link to an article explaining more detail with SARS is since I cant give a very detailed explanation. Please spread awareness so we can stop this corrupt organization for good. The first link is going to be an article explaining the Quawan Charles situation. If you don't know what's happening then I would suggest clicking the link to get a detailed story and probably how you can help I'll probably be posting more links in a little while so make sure you keep on the lookout for those if you want to learn more. On the petitions you could either donate $3 to the causes or share the links. Also on the petitions you're required to put your postal code your email and your name and also where you're located. Now I did this as well I put in a fake postal code and a fake area that I'm in just in case something happens never give you information out online. I could give you guys some examples if I had screenshots of the screen I'm talking about but if you decide to sign a petition you will see the screen. Please help these people and spread awareness about the situations. depending on my mood I might switch back to my regular content or I may continue updating you guys on different things like this. Stay safe and make sure your social distance and quarantine yourself while this covid-19 is still on the loose. Have a nice day.

RE: #QuawanCharles Please stop with the stereotypical jokes about people of color, people within the #LGBTQIA+ community, and #BLM even if you have no harmful intentions and consider yourself an #ally. If you don’t belong to the race or community, it is offensive to make a joke about it. The image below is what we currently see when someone makes a lighthearted ‘off-colored’ joke.. This just isn’t the time. I don’t think there ever was an appropriate time but this certainly is not the time.

What Happened to Quawan 'Bobby' Charles?

[officialtat]

On October 30th of this year, a 15 year old, beautiful, black boy named Quawan Charles “Bobby” went missing. And was found lynched on November 2nd near Loreauville, Louisiana. I can’t even bring myself to show how mutilated his face had become. How unrecognizable like another #EmmitTill. He was last seen with a peer and that peer’s guardian without consent of Charles’ guardians. The Baldwin Police Department continue to refuse to be cooperative with his family. The Charles’ family just want answers. To know what happened to their baby boy. #JUSTICEFORQUAWAN https://www.instagram.com/p/CHefIjBgnwy/?igshid=65zpw5tee7cn
