Pine Bluff Commercial Online Edition: "“I believe if we really get together and do this all over the city, all over the county, do the same thing in Lincoln County and in Pulaski County, it can spread all over the state. We will send a message to the criminals and those that are deciding that they want to steal and rob and mistreat people that they have to get out of Arkansas.”
The Rev. Edna Morgan believes in those words, and as the first Crime Victim’s chaplain in Pine Bluff and Jefferson County, is trying to make things happen, particularly with elderly crime victims.
A former chaplain at Jefferson Regional Medical Center, Morgan said she decided to concentrate on elder abuse and victims because “our church had so many seniors in it.
“I went over and talked to Joye Cook (former victim witness coordinator at the Prosecuting Attorney’s Office) and she said they really needed someone in that area so that’s how I got started,” Morgan, a minister in the United Methodist Church said Thursday."
