The son of a St. Landry Parish Sheriff’s deputy is in custody in connection to recent church fires in Louisiana.



The Louisiana Office of State Fire Marshal (LAOSFM) has announced they’ll be holding a press conference Thursday, April 11 at 10 a.m. to update the public on the investigation into three church fires in St. Landry Parish. Gov. John Bel Edwards will be in attendance.

KATC reports the suspect as Holden Matthews, 21, the son of a St. Landry Parish Sheriff’s deputy. Matthews’ father surrendered his son to authorities Wednesday evening.

9. Any evidence of that?

It said dad turned him in. I hope you’re not running dads name through the mud with absolutely nothing to back it up.

10. Sheriffs in Louisiana? Yeah, they're known for their progressiveness, character, compassion,

and support for the black community ...

6. FBI needs to question everyone associated with him and his family

We must find out how he was radicalized, is this an active terror cell?

7. Check your privilege at the door son!

Because your actions have consequences. And your dad needs to be investigated as well, even if he did turn you in. You learned your racism from somewhere and chances are it started at home. Home schooled on racism!

12. So the parents of any felon is a bad parent? Nt

15. I say yes.

Kids learn values and respect for other people from their parents primarily. So yes, a person not showing those traits had inadequate parenting.

Ever been in a supermarket and seen some kids raising hell while kids of other parents are respectful of those around and near them? When you see that, pay attention to the parent, that might prove informing.

16. a lot of parents, especially single moms

Don't have the same resources, education and assistance that others have, this is very evident when one compares parenting styles across socioeconomic levels.

Parenting even affects IQ, by up to one standard deviation, which works out to about 15 points on the wisc scale.

17. Valid points. But many bad parents are married couples.

Even a single parent will have SOME free time to talk to a child about values and proper behavior. One issue is that many of those single parents were not taught those things to begin with, so they know no lessons to pass on.

Our society has made what appears to be a conscious decision that it would rather spend gads and gads of money on policing and prisons instead of a comparatively tiny amount by comparison money on early childhood nutrition and early learning, but thankfully, some places are getting wise.
Even in my red county there is a big push for PreK, kids are starting school at 3 years old, they are even there for introductory hours starting at 2. We can have more resources put into elementary and middle schools and provide better teacher pay, provide more guidance counselor sand give those people appropriate resources and hold them accountable in a manner that is free of political posturing. And get rid of the nonsense of having kids pay for school meals, every kid should get a free breakfast, a free lunch and a small afternoon snack, all containing the nutrients that young bodies and minds need.

I really believe that if kids get off solid in grades PreK-8, it becomes far more likely that they will succeed in grades 9-12.

13. Notice the black shirt.

I see White men wearing black shirts where I live. Maybe it was just winter and the shirts kept them warm, but I will be noticing more as the weather warms up more (yes y'all, 50 degrees is Florida is cold, especially with a little wind).
