Video shows Malayshia Alford singing 'Love' to classmates before tragic death

This is developing tonight, deep grief and growing frustration in West Philadelphia with the community and city leaders demanding answers in the murder of 10-year-old Malaysia Alford. Our Kelly Rule is live in West Philadelphia tonight, outside the home where Malaysia lived. What are you learning today in terms of the investigation here, Kelly? Well, Sheba, I can tell you, just when we thought the traffic might slow down out here on North Simpson Street, it only continued today with new visitors. And for the first time, a former teacher of Malaysia's actually shared a recent video of her with us, and it is heartbreaking to watch because it shows a seemingly happy young girl. Why are you crying? For the first time, we are seeing a recent video of 10-year-old Malisha Alford, happy, smiling, singing Love by Keisha Cole to her classmates as they clap along. Her heartbroken former teacher sharing this video with Fox 29 today, calling Malaysia a bright light that deserves justice. Meantime, her memorial continues to grow on North Simpson Street, where she lived with her foster mother, 36-year-old Caprice Williams, now charged with her murder. And how can we as a society make sure that we are listening to and hearing the voices of kids and we're intervening the way that we need to intervene so that this doesn't happen again ever. Megan Carrido praying with other visitors she just met today. She's a trauma therapist and advocate and found out about Malaysia's case while in Disney World with her own child. In this city and in this world, some kids get to go and have fun. At Disney World and other kids are hauled out at the back of their foster home in a bag and put in a trunk and it's heartbreaking and it's not okay and there's so many different ways that multiple systems failed her and it hurts. District Attorney Larry Krasner told Fox 29 they will have an announcement as soon as Thursday about how they will investigate who else was directly responsible for Malaysia's death. And into the institutions that were supposed to protect Malaysia, alluding to a possible grand jury investigation. At the time of her murder, Malaysia lived in Williams' foster home and was under DHS custody with case management from multiple agencies. Williams, who is a teacher with the School District of Philadelphia, was the subject of a child abuse investigation in 2021 and civil lawsuit after documents say a four-year-old child nearly died in her care. It's just mind-blowing. It was mind-blowing. Justin Forte says his son changed schools at the end of last year after having Williams as a teacher in the 5th grade at Louis C. Cassidy School. At the time, his son was about the same age as Malaysia. How is that able to happen in this day and age? So, it's very scary. I think it should definitely be accountability for the people that put her in her position, for the people that kind of overlooked what was going on at the house. It has to be accountability. It just has to. And tomorrow, city council members are expected to introduce a resolution that would seek a hearing on the city's foster care system. And Sheba, that's all in light of Malaysia's death. All right. Kelly Rule, thank you.
