THE SAD, STRANGE LIFE AND DEATH OF DEVONTE HART: THE CRYING BLACK BOY WHO FAMOUSLY HUGGED A COP
After Ferguson, a viral photo turned the tween into a symbol of post-racial America. But his murderâââat the hands of his adoptive white motherâââshows how much of an illusion that all really was
We donât yet know if 15-year-old Devonte Hart died when his adoptive white mother, Jen Hart, 38, stomped on the gas pedal and drunkenly, intentionally, drove her 2003 GMC right off the edge of America. We do know the SUV plunged 100 feet down the cliffside and crashed into the Pacific Ocean, killing her, along with Sarah Hart, 38, Devonteâs other adoptive white mother, and four of his siblings:Â
The apparent murder-suicide remains an open mystery.
At present, Devonte is listed as missing. Local authorities havenât recovered his body, nor have they located his sister, Hannah Hart, 16.
(Devontes bio mom) Sherry Davisâ children were forcibly removed from her home by Texas authorities due to her struggle with cocaine addiction. Davis, who was complying with her court-ordered drug treatment program, also fought to get her children home. But before she could get them back, they were adopted by a couple in Minnesota: the Harts.Â
In light of what we now know about his murderous adoptive white mothersâââwhoâd been cited for a pattern of repeated child abuse dating back to 2008âââthis powerful image twists into a more potent symbol. A symbol of systemic failure. Far more heartbreaking than anyone imagined at the time.
