Assemblywoman Shanique Speight (D-29) of Newark relayed an alarming message on Facebook today.

“Pray over and for your children! Grateful Saturday my baby boy was robbed at gunpoint with 2 guns pointed at his head. Today could have been different for my family. He is alive and I still have my son.

This is traumatizing for him I will make sure he gets the help he needs to get through this. I will not normalize this for him. This is not a life lesson this is traumatizing. Thank you everyone for the phone calls and prayers they are needed.”
