Lashaun Armstrong, age 10, is the sole survivor of a family of four children that drowned yesterday.
Lashanda Armstrong (25) drove her mini-van (in which where her four children, Lashaun (10), Landon Pierre (5), Lance Pierre (2) and Lainaina (11 months old)) into New York's Hudson River last night after Lashanda was victim of a domestic incident between herself and her husband (and father of the three youngest) Jean Pierre. Lashaun got out through the mini-van's window and ran to get help. Unfortunately, it was too late.
Four lives lost... Obviously, this was a far too drastic move on the mother's behalf, but this just shows that domestic violence is a growing problem in our society that has to be dealt with.

An abuse victim came to speak to Algonquin students on April 14th, telling them that if they are in an abusive relationship, that they should get help and get out of the relationship.
The speaker had spent years an abusive relationship for years and now suffers from brain damage because of it.
