NZPA Atlanta The mother of one of Atlanta’s 25 murdered and missing young blacks has challenged the Federal Bureau of Investigation to arrest any parent the bureau feels is responsible for one of the deaths or to acknowledge an “error in judgment” within 24 hours. An F. 8.1. agent, Mike Twibell, told reporters after addressing a civic group in Macon, Georgia, on Tuesday, “Some of these kids were killed by their parents.” “As parents and relative.' of 25 young Americans eithe murdered or missing in At lanta for more than 2 months, we stand united an
dedicated to let Almighty God alone be our judge,” said Camille Bell, mother of a nine-year-old victim, Yusef Bell, and head of .the Committee to Stop Children’s Murders. If the arrests did not take place within 24 hours, she said, “we ask that you personally inform the nation of this error in judgement and miscommunication.” The committee includes many parents, of the 23 young blacks murdered in Atlanta since July, 1979. Two black youths are missing. No arrests have been made, and a special police task force is handling the inquiry.
