I was disturbed to read Maurice Possley’s story on the anguish of the 7-year-old’s mother regarding her son being held in the killing of young Ryan Harris (Page 1, Aug. 13).

True, it is a very sad story. The pain and confusion that the woman feels must be incredible. But let us not forget that a young girl was brutally murdered for riding a bicycle.

Ryan Harris will never have the opportunity again to ride a bike, play with her friends or hug her mother.

The fact that we lose sight of the victims and the voids left in their absence from the world and concentrate on how hard it must be to be brought to a police station for alleged involvement in a homicide is ridiculous.
