Wesley's Place

Wesley's Place Child advocacy On August 3, 2007, six-year-old Wesley Mullins was visiting his grandfather in downtown Paris, Kentucky.

Wesley's Place exists to serve as a loving memorial to Wesley Mullins, a six-year-old boy who was assaulted and beaten to death in Paris, Kentucky in 2007. Wesley's Place seeks to foster and strengthen children's welfare, advocacy, abuse prevention and education through the support of programs that focus on children like Wesley. It started out like a typical day for any child but ended in unspeaka

ble tragedy. In the early morning hours of August 4th, Wesley was assaulted and brutally beaten to death in his grandfather's garage. Lewis Buck Ballard, the grandfather's roommate, was found guilty of first degree murder and sentenced to life in prison without parole on October 27, 2009.
