Some individuals of Fannin County are upset with what they see as injustices and are making a trip from Fannin County to Austin.
“It’s mainly just a ride to make people aware of what’s going on in Fannin County.” said Jerry Harris, the father of Jennifer Harris-Holman, of Bonham who was found dead back in 2002, floating in the Red River east of Denison. Thirteen years later, no arrests have been made. “There’s never been a break in the case and there have been numerous mistakes in that case from the beginning. Then there’s a case of Jack Morris, who went missing six or seven years ago. Mrs. Brewer went missing and never a trace of her.”
Teresa Morris said that while it started with the injustices in Fannin County, they have teamed with a group that benefits kids.
“We’re headed to the state representatives office.” said Morris. “If you look at the Texas penal codes, there’s four of them that state that a parent can discipline a child. One of them even stipulates that a state agency cannot step in unless it is unreasonable. Fannin County posted an article that listed spanking is abuse. There are people in Fannin County that have been prosecuted for spanking their kids. And that’s just not right.”
The group is staying in Van Alstyne tonight and hope to arrive in Austin next Monday.
