Mohler on Moore: Hypocrisy on Display
By 2samuel127 | November 17, 2017
"We also understand a particular responsibility to defend the defenseless and to speak up for those who need that defense, and we must make very clear that predatory sexual behavior, especially predatory sexual behavior addressed to a child, to a minor, is absolutely heinous, reprehensible, and cannot be accepted by any morally sane society. Even in our sexually confused age, we should be thankful for the fact that there is at least enough residual moral sense in the American people that they understand that any contact by an adult male with a minor female, or for that matter you could even change the genders, it's absolutely wrong, immoral, and unacceptable. So we should at least state that about the charges right up front: If indeed the allegations are true, they are genuinely, morally devastating and they should be politically devastating as well."
-Dr. Albert Mohler, Speaking on the public charges against Roy Moore on "The Briefing" 11-13-2017
Audio recording of the above quote:

Mohler also appeared on CNN to speak about the Moore scandal. Below is the audio from an interview of Mohler by Don Lemon of CNN. You can watch the video here.

Will Rogers summarized my feelings on politicians quite well when he said, "About all I can say for the United States Senate is that it opens with a prayer and closes with an investigation."
This article is not about Roy Moore. I am no fan of his. I believe he did what numerous women have said he did. My opinion is Moore should not be a United States Senator. My opinion is that a majority of those currently holding the office of United States Senators should likewise not be Senators.
This article is about Albert Mohler, a man who, in my opinion, is one of the biggest hypocrites in the Southern Baptist denomination, a denomination rife with hypocritical pastors. (My apologies to the honest men serving with integrity as pastors in the Southern Baptist denomination; I know there are many of you.)
Don Lemon interviews Albert Mohler regarding the charges against Roy Moore.
Most of the time Mohler talks a good game. He was spot on when he wrote about the sexual abuse scandal at Penn State. I also agree with what Mohler said about the Roy Moore scandal. But his words ring empty when we witness how his great moral platitudes go out the window when dealing with C.J. Mahaney.
Mahaney is a close friend of Mohler's and has donated over $200,000 to Southern Seminary, the institution Mohler is President of. Mahaney's donations were from his personal account as well as the Sovereign Grace denomination's account and Covenant Life Church's account. Mahaney used to be Chairman of Sovereign Grace Ministries and senior pastor at Covenant Life Church.
Mahaney presided over the denomination when a class action lawsuit was filed against the Sovereign Grace denomination, Covenant Life Church, Covenant Life School, Sovereign Grace Church of Fairfax, C.J. Mahaney, Gary Ricucci, David Hinders, Louis Gallo, Frank Ecelbarger, John Loftness, Grant Layman, Lawrence Tomczak, Mark Mullery and Vince Hinders for a conspiracy to cover up the sexual abuse of children. The lawsuit was dismissed because of Statute of Limitation issues, not on the merit of the charges. In fact several men from the denomination have served or are serving prison sentences for sexual abuse. You can read the actual lawsuit charges here, but be warned – some of the charges are quite graphic.
Albert Mohler voiced strong words of righteous judgment against Penn State and now Roy Moore. For C.J. Mahaney he had no such similar denouncement, rather he has faithfully supported his friend and continued to share the conference stage with him at the Together for the Gospel conferences, even making a tastless joke about what he found on the internet about Mahaney when he was introducing him at the 2016 conference.
https://thouarttheman.org/wp-content/uploads/Mohler-intro-of-Mahaney-at-T4G-2016.mp3
It took Mohler less than a week to publicly condemn Roy Moore. He maintained his silence for approximately two years on C.J. Mahaney. When he, along with Mark Dever and Ligon Duncan finally published a statement on the scandal it was factually incorrect and was supportive of Mahaney.
Now read Mohler's statement on the C.J. Mahaney/Sovereign Grace sexual abuse scandal:
STATEMENT FROM MARK DEVER, LIGON DUNCAN, and ALBERT MOHLER
We are friends who have been brought together for the gospel. Over the last several months, we have wanted to speak publicly to the issues that have related to our friend C. J. Mahaney. A Maryland judge's recent action to dismiss a lawsuit against Sovereign Grace Ministries offers us the first opportunity, and responsibility, to speak to this issue. We could not speak to the issues involved so long as they were raised only in the context of an action in the civil courts. We have never made a public comment with regard to claims and counter-claims in a civil lawsuit, and we will not violate that principle now.
Claims presented in a civil lawsuit seeking financial compensation are beyond the ability of the public to render judgment. Often, such claims are even beyond the ability of a court to deliberate. To comment on such claims is irresponsible, since no one apart from the court and the parties directly involved has any ability to evaluate the claims presented. If the filing of civil litigation against a Christian ministry or leader is in itself reason for separation and a rush to judgment, no ministry or minister is safe from destruction at any time. Furthermore, the effort to try such a case in the court of public opinion prior to any decision rendered by an authorized court is likewise irresponsible.
We have stood beside our friend, C. J. Mahaney, and we can speak to his personal integrity. We can make no judgment as to the truthfulness of the horrifying charges of sexual abuse made against some individuals who have been connected, in some way, to Sovereign Grace Ministries and its churches. Our hearts must go out to anyone, and especially to any child, who suffers abuse at the hand of anyone. In such a case the legal authorities must use the full power of the law to investigate and to prosecute any perpetrator of such crimes. We must take any responsible action to protect the vulnerable, and we must act immediately to inform legal authorities of any charge or claim of sexual abuse, and do so without delay. Our first response must be to call the police, to act to protect the child or young person, and then to proceed to biblical church discipline when the facts demand such a response.
If a Christian leader is accused of any wrongdoing, those to whom he is accountable must investigate the charges and then deal responsibly with the evidence. If a criminal accusation is made, Christians have a fundamental duty to inform law enforcement officials. This does not, however, preclude or mitigate the church's responsibility for biblical church discipline.
A Christian leader, charged with any credible, serious, and direct wrongdoing, would usually be well advised to step down from public ministry. No such accusation of direct wrongdoing was ever made against C. J. Mahaney. Instead, he was charged with founding a ministry and for teaching doctrines and principles that are held to be true by vast millions of American evangelicals. For this reason, we, along with many others, refused to step away from C. J. in any way. We do not regret that decision. We are profoundly thankful for C. J. as friend, and we are equally thankful for the vast influence for good he has been among so many Gospel-minded people.
Our heart goes out to anyone who has ever suffered abuse of any kind. Our emphatic encouragement would be for anyone who has ever suffered such abuse or knows of anyone made vulnerable to such abuse to contact law enforcement officials without delay. We must then allow the law enforcement agencies and the courts to do their proper work. When criminal charges are filed, the public is then presented with evidence upon which it can draw a responsible judgment. On matters of protecting the vulnerable, Christians know what judgment must be made. We side with the victims.
Our hope and prayer is that Christ's healing and health will come to all parties involved in this matter and that justice and righteousness will prevail for all. May every true victim of any injustice be vindicated. May every doer of wrong be exposed. And may all of us speak no further than we can responsibly speak.
Those who minister in the name of the Lord Christ bear an inescapable duty to live and to minister in a way that is above reproach. Those who teach, reminds James, will face a stricter judgment. [James 3:1] May everything we do, everything we teach, and all that we are be measured against that standard.
Together for the Gospel,
Mark Dever, Ligon Duncan, Albert Mohler
You can see that Mohler still strongly supports C.J. Mahaney. They will once again be sharing the stage at the T4G conference. The hypocrisy is utterly stunning!
"Now I think that Kristof's argument is reductionistic, but nonetheless, it's important to recognize that the main lesson we should learn from this article is that the secular left is watching us, watching to see if we really believe what we say we believe and then will translate that into what shows up even in the voting booth. The world is watching us."
Indeed Dr. Mohler, the world is watching!

Mea Culpa: Analysis of Albert Mohler and Danny Akin's Apologies for Supporting CJ Mahaney Over SGM Victims | The Wartburg Watch 2019
[…] O My Captain" Dever and Ligon Duncan. TWW's good friend, Todd Wilhelm, posted the entire statement and has given me permission to post anything I wish from his wonderful website. So, here it is, […]
When the double standards are taken from the church arena to the political arena, its a whole new ballgame from Al Mohler/Russ Moore to the "Christian" Hillary Clinton who went after Bill's victims of predation with taxpayer resources and Menendez with underage prostitutes attached to human trafficking who said God gave him the mistrial.
I am hoping to see some civil suits filed. If not, the political scorched earth approach is going to hurt future victims very badly. Very badly. Every single accusation deserves discovery and a day in court. When I was doing SH training in the early days of this stuff, the key to dealing with this were civil suits filed in the state..
Thanks for the comment Lydia. Please enlighten me on what "SH" stands for.
Very sorry. Bad habit! It stands for Sexual Harrassment. By the late 90's we knew it would be a problem due to well known feminists rallying for Bill Clinton and the very public trashing of his victims by Hillary's bimbo Erruption team made up of people like Betsy Wright and James Carville (drag a dollar bill through a trailer park…")
. IMO, This isn't just an overcorrection to normalizing such behavior as we allowed in the 90's, its because what was overlooked no longer needs to be protected as it once was. But now it's scortched earth. And the future won't bode well for real victims. No one will be listening before they will want to know the political beliefs of the victims. Gloria Allred, for example, refused to return Kathleen Willey's phone calls. She was wanting Allred to represent her against Bill Clinton. Not a chance. It wasn't about sexual harassment at all.
We tend to overlook the long term ramifications of policies, movements, etc. When victims are "groups" and not individuals, it doesn't ever end well for individual victims, ironically.
Once we take this out of the voluntary church arena to the political arena, we must not apply double standards. Either we believe in individual due process or not. I certainly don't want DC choosing my Senator. I think the voters of MN should deal with Franken, too.
Now ducking fr cover! What's sad about all this is I've lived long enough to see it come full circle. What we are seeing is political fall out for what we have allowed and even promoted.
Never mind. I figured it out. Sexual harrassment.
Oops, should have read further.

Hey Buddy!, I found this information for you: "Mohler on Moore: Hypocrisy on Display". Here is the website link: https://thouarttheman.org/2017/11/17/mohler-moore-hypocrisy-display/. Thank you


Selling an inherited house is a tough decision to make but there are stress free ways to do it. Most of the time, you'll be torn between retaining the house to preserve memories, getting it off your hands to ease the pain of loss, or converting it into funds. If you're unsure about what to do with your inherited house, there's always a lot of places to get information and expert advice. There are professional consultants that can provide you with adequate guidance on the appropriate steps you need to take. It will demand a little research, but it's necessary.
You need to understand the tax regulations around inherited houses. Most times, you can't get a tax exclusion on an inherited house, unless you've lived in it for a minimum of two years. Anyone wanting to sell a house they've lived in for very long can do so with tax excluded from the sale. This doesn't apply to inherited houses with no evidence that you've inhabited for a period not less than two years (24 months).
However, these tax laws vary from state to state, and sometimes, you don't have to pay full tax for inherited house. There are some exceptional basis that can are in place in several states to reduce the tax you have to pay on your inherited house.
Sometimes, you may get lucky with the property, and you may not have to pay any tax at all. We're a professional agency that knows the right places to help you report your funds from the house sale. This is important so the authority doesn't come knocking later in the future with tax evasion charges. We can help you with these corporate dealings if you don't know what to do.
You need to know the exact worth of your inherited house. Online resources can assist with this but know that the comps you see are if the house is in very good condition. This is yet another area where professional real estate agents or cash buyers like us come into play. We can help you study the net worth of your property and guide you with the solution accordingly. Make investigations and figure out the approximate net worth of your inherited house and walk you through the process of selling it off. It's always a pain to most people when they figure out they've sold their house for a much lower price than it's worth. We do our best to give you the best price we can offer you for your inherited house.
It's important to know that you shouldn't try to place a too-high tag on the house. This could make it sit for a long time with no one willing to purchase it. It's necessary to understand that in real estate, appropriate prices must be tagged to each asset if they're ever to be sold. A fair, reasonable price to match the worth and state of the house would definitely attract buyers.
Also, you shouldn't be too rigid with negotiation. Don't expect to get the house at the starting price immediately. Everyone negotiates a real estate deal, so you should approach this venture with flexibility in mind. We'll be there to guide you so you don't fall too short or make unreasonable concessions, but it's important to know that it mustn't sell at the exact value you placed on it. A range of prices will be fixed by our experts, so you know what is acceptable and what is not.
Who else owns the house?
Another entirely different situation comes into play if you have relatives that share the inherited house you want to sell. They could siblings, cousins, uncles or aunts. You have to take a decision with mutual consent, because selling off an inherited house can be quite an emotional venture. If you own a share of a property with someone else, then the whole scenario changes and you have to take other person's choice into consideration.
It'll be a seriously problematic situation if you sell the house without full consent of everyone involved. It could turn into a legal debacle between you and your family. It will also be a waste of your time if you've done all your research, and they refuse to consent. You have to be sure to gain their approval before you forge ahead.
They could also request to be involved in the processes of selling the inherited house, because it's also theirs.
Selling off an inherited home is not something that you do on a regular basis. So, ensure to have a professional helping hand by your side. In this case, an investment agency can work wonders for you. Well, that's where we come into play. We can guide you through the process and point you in the right direction. It's always important to stress to our future clients the important of investing with a trust-worthy, competent agency. Houses are major property. Mistakes made in the sale of houses are more or less of irreversible, and even if they could be fixed, you'll most likely run into thousands of dollars in legal fees. We'll put you through the process of selling your inherited house so you won't have any regrets later in the future.
Before anyone purchases a house, they'll most likely insist to get a good look at it. An inherited house will probably need some clearing out. You can take your time to do this, or you can call us to do the clearing out for you. You can also hold a sale to market off most of the property in the house that you don't want to keep. If the house needs renovations, it's important to do these, because it will help ensure that you sell at the appropriate price. A fixer-upper would sell for a really low price.
We believe that if you follow these steps and contact Simple Homebuyers, you won't have any problems selling your inherited house.
In case you want to sell your inherited house fast, then you need to have an expert by your side. Well, in this case, Simple Homebuyers are just the right choice for you. We offer professional investment advice and consultancy to anyone seeking to sell or purchase real estate. We also have a team of experts on the clock that can help you sell your inherited house without any complications and stress. We're a transparent, trust-worthy agency with many positive reviews and commendations to our name. Trust is imperative to anyone who wants to sell a house.
So, take a step ahead and contact us for selling your home for the best ever price. Selling an inherited house doesn't have to be such a major stress. As long as you've made the personal decision to sell the property, it shouldn't be a hard task getting a buyer for the inherited house.

Sir YouTube not stay in login position all time requires login login what I do sir?
Sir I have a "lg 43lv640s" led tv plz tell me how update check in this (,"about tv" option not available here) tv. Manually? But how? Plz plz plz..
are the channels going to remove from the tv after the update ???
No Web Engine update for LG TV 2016/2017 (bought 2017) > it makes your web browser obsolete (video players etc) one year later! SHAMEFUL!!!
So consider that "LG Smart TV" are "smart" only for one year, then they become useless because "previous LG TV will not get last webOS update" > means "no update of web engine" (Chromium 53 and follow).
And obviously, it will be the same in 2020 for 2018/2019 models…..
My LG smart tv is connected to the internet it's updated to 05.05.55 on 9/27/18 when I click on the YouTube app the app won't load it's goes into black screen glitches from the black screen to the live tv I'm having a issue anyone can help please ?
lg smart tv with webos firmware is totally waste of money..should have Android firmware.
I updated the firmware and Youtube app on my good-old LG LN6150, just to get this pretty message: The YouTube app on this device is no longer available . Youtube has ended its support for this app and is no longer available on this device. You can continue to enjoy your favorite creators and videos in many other ways. The message should also contain: Until you'll update your old, filthy, disgusting, obsolete 5 years old devices too that is.
I understand it's not entirely your fault in this greedy game, but damn, stop suggesting users to check that "Allow Automatic Updates" option!
Hi, our Youtube app doesn't work anymore, I can type or choose a video but when I click the video it will stay Loading for hours, I thought it was just the Internet so I try reconnecting to the Internet but then nothing happened. Our Internet sure does work fine, it was only on Youtube. How do I fix this? I'd love to see a reply. Thankyou!
ok, please explain me. why should i update? – i mean tv is working perfect, no bugs and here is an update. still trying to understand whats gonna be new and etc.. why cant you add info whats coming out with updates.
I have an LG TV and the frigging widget for YouTube no longer works and there is no updates that ever fixed it. Something to do with Yahoo being bought by Google! So what?? Get a frigging update!
Do u think we r stupid this far to show ur tutorial!?


hey guys, i did a search and was only able to find bits and pieces. if you find another thread with appropriate information, please redirect.
in july, i'll be starting rotations. i've been thinking about my personality and how to make 3rd year go more smoothly.
basically, i'd like some help on how i can improve and prepare myself for rotations. i'm willing to change and push myself out of my comfort zone. any ideas/advice??
take a couple Jägerbombs before you hit the wards every morning - liquid courage baby!!
better yet, why dont i take a flask with me on rounds every morning?
Yeah, good advice. Just force yourself to answer questions with your best guess. Most times you will be right, and if you are wrong, no one will notice, care, or remember. The only wrong answer is no answer. Being forgettable and not getting to know the attending are surefire routes to poor clinical grades.
I think a lot of people are naturally introverted, we just learn as we go that it has no useful value and have to overcome it.
It's hard to be confidant especially when you start out with patients while under the scrutiny of three or four 'real' doctors.
Take a deep breath, and practice, practice, practice whenever you can. Once you gain experience your nervousness should disappear.
And yes, don't be afraid to be wrong. Wrong is better than a student who doesn't even try.
thanks guys, i really appreciate the constructive feedback! am saving this thread for future reference.

By GARY DYMSKI gary.dymski@newsday.com Updated March 8, 2010 6:38 PM
Long Island Rail Road service between Jamaica and Hicksville was suspended Monday afternoon after a person was hit by a train, according to Nassau County police. It was later reopened with delays of up to 90 minutes at one point in some branches.
As of 6:30 p.m., there were residual delays of 10 to 20 minutes on the Oyster Bay, Huntington/Port Jefferson and Ronkonkoma branches.

At 3:32 p.m., service was restored in one track, although several trains were not making their regularly scheduled stop in Mineola.
Earlier, an LIRR spokesman confirmed service was suspended but did not give a reason. "We haven't gotten any notice from the police," spokesman Stanley Davis said. "We are hoping to get the line back very soon, but a number of trains are standing by."
Davis said that service was stopped at 2:40 p.m. affecting "all branches, except Port Washington.

Shinnecock Hiils officials say road sign not par for the course


World's most popular and widely used messenger app: Whatsapp is facing a bad situation in India. As per IndiaTimes reports, Whatsapp may be banned in India.
What is the real reason? Find out the truth right here!
Govt. Of India Can Ban Whatsapp?
Whatsapp has been ordered twice by Indian Govt. to develop a technology which can trace the origin of a message.
Till now, Whatsapp has told the Govt. that they cannot develop such technology, because it will mean breaking their end-to-end encryption policy which safeguards data privacy.
Now, as per some reports coming in, Govt. is all set to send its 3rd letter to Whatsapp, again ordering them to create tracking technology.
In case Whatsapp is not able to create such a technology, they can expect stern action against them, which includes a possibility of a ban.
Can Whatsapp Create Such Technology?
As per some security and data experts, the task is certainly doable.
Sunil Abraham, executive director of Center of Internet and Society has said that Whatsapp is not required to store every message, but a creation of meta-data can be done, which can track the date, time, location and account name of the person who created any message.
The unnamed Govt. official said that they are not asking Whatsapp to set up a massive data center to store billions of messages, but track and trace only those mischievous messages which trigger mass-panic.
In the past, as we reported, fake news and fake messages spread fast on Whatsapp, and such is the effect that people are getting killed due to the same.
Whatsapp Is Responsible For Mob Lynching?
As per an opinion published in an 'Independent Media' portal, Whatsapp should be held responsible for mob lynching, and mass killing of people in India.
However, no solid theory or evidence was shared as to why only Whatsapp needs to be blamed. Whatsapp is a platform, and as per its terms of usage, they are not responsible for the messages which are shared in their platform.
None the less, Whatsapp has taken some solid steps to curb the menace of fake news and fake stories.
For instance, Whatsapp users in India can no longer forward more than 5 chats to their friends; all forwarded messages are now labelled, there is a spam detection tool and cash prize of thousands of dollars for any social scientist who can find ways to stop fake news.
But, as they say, information is just like water, and there exists no power to stop its flow.
Do you think that Whatsapp should be banned by India? Or there can be any other alternate solution as well? Do let us know by commenting right here!

Scientist tracks path of notorious Benguela Niño
Ocean watch: Dr Mathieu Rouault of the Department of Oceanography at UCT keeps track of the developing Beguela Niño.
Dr Mathieu Rouault likes to watch the weather. As an oceanographer, he has an abiding professional interest in its whimsies, but as a surfer, he is more single-minded.
"The ocean is my passion," says the Brittany-born scientist who comes from a long line of mariners. His father is a naval officer and Rouault junior completed his PhD at the portside Marseilles University.
"I managed to turn my passion for the sea into a profession," he says, adding that he arrived in South Africa in 1992, in time to see apartheid washed up. He had turned down an opportunity in France so he could come south, where he felt he would be more useful.
"Here, my work has an impact on society because it is directly related to the problem of water resources."
As a scientist, Rouault is fortunate in this regard. This impact has been outlined in many papers, mostly related to the role of the oceans on southern African weather and climate. For instance, seven of eight of the worst droughts in southern Africa happened during the mature phase of El Niño in the Pacific. With co-workers he has demonstrated that the impact of El Niño on Southern Hemisphere rainfall has increased during the last 25 years. As a result the spatial extension and intensity of droughts has considerably increased in southern Africa.
Rouault has devoted himself to understanding the physics of these ocean/atmosphere exchanges and the implications for climate using numerical models, satellite remote sensing, climate data and observations made during cruises such as the GoodHope line. The GoodHope venture aims to beef up scientific knowledge by tapping into a programme of regular observations, an intense monitoring line across the Southern Ocean between Africa and Antarctica.
Rouault was also instrumental in unravelling the origins of Benguela Niños, terrible twin of the better-known El Niño in the South Pacific. During normal years, the seas off the west coast of southern Angola and Namibia are cold due to upwelling and nutrient-rich water, attracting a large commercial fishing industry. But during anomalous years, when the Benguela Niño hits this coast, a warm nutrient-poor current propagates southwards along the coast with devastating results for fish and marine animals. The 1995 Benguela Niño event saw seas up to 8o C above average. It also led to terrible floods in Angola and northern Namibia.
It was UCT honorary Professor Vere Shannon who first recognised the phenomenon and coined the term. Changes in the winds in the equatorial Atlantic trigger a Kelvin wave that propagates eastwards along the equator and then bends southward towards Angola. For some reasons still unknown, the Angola current becomes subsequently stronger than usual and spreads as far as 25 S. Rouault has developed a plan to monitor the phenomenon in real time in a similar fashion to that used to monitor El Niño in the Pacific. This will also provide the necessary data to understand the missing link between equatorial dynamics and Benguela Niños.
In the 1990s, a series of instrumented buoys were deployed in the Pacific Ocean, and later extended to the tropical Atlantic Ocean when France, Brazil and the United States took on the task of developing Pirata, the Pilot Research Moored Array in the Tropical Atlantic, consisting of 12 buoys moored between 15o N and 10o S.
According to an article on the Science in Africa website, three extensions to this system have been proposed, one of which is the south east extension (See). Two buoys would be positioned in the waters off Angola. Rouault is chair of the Pirata-See committee and has also completed a feasibility study on the extension of the Benguela Current Large Marine Ecosystem (BCLME) programme. A joint initiative of South Africa, Namibia and Angola, funded by the Global Environment Facility, its participants met in Cape Town recently.
Its work will be vital to predicting the droughts and floods affecting farmers over the sub continent and to the vast fisheries along the west coast.
Rouault has also done some work on global warming; this time it was the atmosphere that affected the ocean. Certainly, the world's oceans are warming, the repercussions staggeringly evident on the Marion Island ecosystem.
"Fifty years of oceanographic and metrological measurements have made the island unique in the world. This shows that rainfall on Marion has decreased 25% over 30 years, non-rainy days on the island sanctuary have increased from 25 a year to 75 and the air temperature has risen by 1.5o C since the '70s." These changes are linked to known changes in the Southern Hemisphere climate due to global warming and, most amazingly, the decrease of the ozone layer. This has lead to a shift in the storm track towards the Antarctic.
Given this evidence of ocean atmosphere interaction's impact on society, it seems odd that the oceanography department at UCT is the last of its kind in Africa. On a continent ravaged by drought and flood, it's hard to believe that UCT is the last incubator of this knowledge.
The last port in a storm.

MACOMB TOWNSHIP, Mich. – A 14-year-old Dakota High School student died Friday morning after she was hit by a vehicle while crossing the street in Macomb Township.
Victoria Cartwright was killed while crossing Heydenreich Road.
Authorities said a 2016 Jeep Wrangler driven by a 16-year-old Macomb Township girl was southbound and struck Cartwright. The driver and her 16-year-old passenger were on their way to Dakota High School.
Cartwright was taken to a hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
Officials told Local 4 the driver who hit Cartwright stayed at the scene after the incident.
A friend who grew up with Cartwright said she was very energetic and sweet. Cartwright's mother said her daughter was a loving person.
"Victoria Cartwright will be remembered as a creative, artistic student who had her own unique sense of style," Principal Paul Sibley said in a statement. "She was a neat young lady with a kind heart and a bright smile. Victoria was well-liked by her peers and the Dakota faculty. She often talked about her strong family relationships, especially the one she shared with her mother and brother. Our thoughts and prayers go out to her family and friends. She will be missed by many."
Superintendent Ron Roberts released the following statement to parents:
"It is with great sadness that we share the devastating news of a terrible accident that occurred in our school community this morning. A Dakota 10th-grade student crossing Heydenreich Road on her way to school was struck by a car operated by another student. Tragically, the student struck by the car has died from her injuries.
"Our thoughts and prayers go out to the parents, families and friends of both these Dakota students. Please join us in our efforts as we provide support to their families and friends during this most difficult time.
"In the coming days, we know there will be students and members of our school community in need of grief support. Please be assured that Dakota High School has trained counselors, social workers and school psychologists ready to assist students and their families for as long as they may be needed. Families can contact the school office or their child's school counselor for help and assistance."
