12:00- Todd Boyce, Ottawa resident moved to action after hearing the Jeffery Baldwin story
D-C Entertainment has reversed an unpopular decision not to allow the Superman logo on a memorial statue of a Toronto boy who was starved to death. 5-year-old Jeffrey Baldwin died in 2002 after being severely neglected by his grandparents, but a coroner’s inquest into his death caught the attention of Boyce  who was moved by Jeffrey’s plight and raised money to build a statue of the boy wearing a Superman costume, since the inquest heard that Jeffrey loved the superhero. D-C Entertainment initially refused Boyce permission to use the logo, but gave Boyce the O-K, two days after The Canadian Press first reported the denial.
