There was a new law in town Tuesday, and his name is Devin.
Devin Suau, the 6-year-old Framingham boy who has made headlines for his family's fight against his inoperable brain tumor, was police chief Tuesday.
Devin, diagnosed with an extremely rare form of pediatric cancer known as Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma, has been given between eight months and two years to live. But his family is fighting for a cure, and pushing the hashtag #WhyNotDevin.
