CAMP HILL, Ala. — Caring for abused and neglected girls is Candice Gulley's life work, and that's what she was doing when she helped load vans from an Alabama children's home for a trip to the beach. The kids walked on the sand, ate seafood and threw an early, dinosaur-themed fourth birthday party for her son, Ben, during a week on the coast.
The children, ranging in age from 4 to 17, were on their way back from a beach vacation when their van became enmeshed in a pileup that involved at least 17 vehicles, some of which caught fire.
CAMP HILL, Ala. (AP) — Girls have often lived a life of abuse, abandonment or neglect by the time they land at a Christian youth home in rural Alabama, but an annual trip to the beach with the director and her family offered them a bright spot in otherwise tough times.
