The last journey of a 4-year-old Houston girl, whose tragic death captured the interest of strangers across several states, will end on Saturday as hundreds are expected to attend her funeral.
Maleah Davis, the gap-toothed child who loved pink and the"My Little Pony" character Rainbow Dash, will finally be laid to rest after a short life that ended sometime before her remains were found in Arkansas on May 31."In many ways, she's representative of so many of our children," Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner told reporters on Friday, as he confirmed his plans to attend and speak at Davis' private funeral.
"I think what happened to Maleah is a reminder that if we don't do our part, if we are not responsible, we can fail our children -- whether you're a parent, whether you're a family member, whether you're the system, we all have a role to play," Turner said.Maleah's mother's ex-fiance, Derion Vence, was arrested and charged with tampering with evidence, said police.Davis will be buried in a rainbow-filled "My Little Pony"-themed casket.

Little League Coach Just Washed-Up Former Little LeaguerDERBY, KS—Speculating that the sad former star was probably just attempting to relive his glory days, several sources told reporters Friday that Little League coach Mark Clancy, 27, was nothing but a washed-up former Little Leaguer. “Look at him out there acting like he’s this big deal. This guy hasn’t been in the Little League for years. It’s pathetic,” said spectator Louise Birch on the out-of-shape coach of the Wichita regional Little League team, speculating that Clancy’s MVP medal for the Benton school Wolfpack went straight to his head and he’s never let it go. “You can just tell he thinks he knows it all just because he had a few good seasons back in the Westurban pee-wee league in the mid-’90s. He’s trying to make it feel like it did when he was 8 years old and throwing people out at first or batting .125. Yeah, he was pretty good in his prime—a lot of people around here remember him from back then—but to see him at 27? It’s just sad. He never even won a Little League World Series.” Birch also recalled the game two decades ago, where Clancy completely choked and let the ball roll between his legs, tripping backwards before accidentally throwing the ball to the third base instead of second.
