Silver: Roxy and Jameska
June 1, 2009
Jameska McKee, 16, holds her cousin Roxy, 3, while sitting in their grandmother's backyard in Glouster, Ohio on June 1, 2009. Roxy's parents gave up custody of her last year because they were facing problems with drugs and crime that left them homeless and unable to care for their daughter. Jameska and her mother Tammy have gained legal custody of Roxy and are working on giving her a better life than what she faced in her troubled past. "I don't want her to turn out like her mom," Jameska said. "That's why I'm so overprotective of her."
