For LaToya Minus, the five years since her daughter Dejah Jenkins-Minus was killed have been a purgatory of anguish and heartache. Life has continued without Dejah, but Minus hasn’t been able to move on. All the while, Minus has been raising her granddaughter, Dai’Lani.
Leonard Robinson, who is Dai’Lani’s father and was charged with Dejah’s murder, remains in jail awaiting trial, and each of the six times it’s been postponed has been a reminder he could walk free. Until she’s sure Robinson is never going home, she says, “I don’t know how to grieve.”
For families grappling with loss from violent crime, the wait for justice can be agonizing. Months turn into years without closure — and the wound gets reaggravated with each postponed court date.
One day, Minus knows she’ll have to explain everything to her granddaughter. Until then, she wants Dai’Lani to hold onto her innocence as long as she can.

Families said they were blindsided when Smith College decided to close its century-old Center for Early Childhood Education at Fort Hill, which serves about 80 children from the broader community, but prioritizes and offers discounts to employees.
Public pushback has since forced administrators to keep Fort Hill open through the summer of 2029. But some parents were equally stunned by what they saw as the college’s spin on the closure in a series of emails.
“This decision is, first and foremost, about equity,” wrote Smith’s president, Sarah Willie-LeBreton.
The news sparked hard conversations about equity, caregiving, and community at a place that was born to consider such issues: a women’s college, with an endowment of $2.7 billion.

The Globe’s Beth Teitell is still agonizing over her karaoke song, and meanwhile, comes to find out many people — younger people, probably healthier people — already have their funeral songs lined up.
Actually not just lined up. Some of the living have written their songs into their wills, and Azita Ghahramani, senior politics editor for GBH News, has created an entire playlist: “I’m dead,” it’s called.
“It’s a way for me to be there,” Ghahramani said of her own funeral. “But I’m going to listen to it when I’m alive, too.”
What’s your walk-off song? Let us know in the comments and read the full story at the link in our bio.

What was the final interaction between teammates Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown? Silence.
A relationship built on mutual respect and admiration deteriorated as the Celtics made clear years ago that Tatum was their No. 1 cornerstone and preferred superstar. That distinction created a wedge between Brown and the team that ended unceremoniously with his stunning trade in early July.
Ahead of the Celtics facing the 76ers tonight in Philadelphia, here's a look at the final days of the near-decade-long partnership between the two athletes.

“Sandra did not deserve this,” said US Attorney Leah Foley at a news conference after a federal jury found Matthew Farwell guilty of killing Sandra Birchmore. “When you think of her, I hope you recall the girl full of love, life, and hope.”

Last year, Ana Michelle Ramirez Sanan witnessed federal agents slam her mother to a sidewalk, her head bouncing off the concrete.
When officers confirmed her mother’s legal residency, they let her go. But the episode upended Ramirez’s senior year as she grappled with debilitating anxiety and her mother’s lingering injuries. The accomplished student missed five weeks of school, arrived late another 40 days, and saw her grade-point average fall by nearly a full point.
Arrests by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement in communities like Lowell and New Bedford have reverberated through classrooms, driving spikes in absenteeism, according to a Globe analysis of attendance records and interviews with superintendents.
The specter of ICE agents and the lingering trauma of witnessing violent arrests have kept an increasing number of students away from school.

Varsity sports have long encouraged school attendance with a simple rule: No class, no play. But the rise of private travel sports has flipped that incentive, particularly in wealthier communities.
The growing popularity of out-of-school sports has added fuel to a post-pandemic surge in chronic absenteeism. Last year, a half-decade after schools closed, more than 17 percent of students were chronically absent, meaning they missed a day every two weeks on average. All those absences matter academically, and can affect test scores, dropout rates, college enrollment, and future earning potential.
