A 14 year old boy Shot and Killed by an innocent teenager to prove himself to his gang. At the trial the victim’s mother sat still and silent until the end when he was convicted of the killing. As he was being taken away in handcuffs the mother of the boy who was shot stood up slowly. Looked him in the eye and said,” I am going to Kill You!” and sat back down. The boy was taken away.
After being in prison for a year or so the mother of the slain boy goes to visit him. The boy had been living on the streets before the killing. she was the only visitor he ever had. Not even the gang members came to visit him. He was kind of frightened before she came. She said, I just want to talk to you and for a time they talked and when she left she gave him some money for cigarettes. Then she started step by step visiting him more regularly trying to understand the guy who Killed her Child.
She goes every few month and when he’s about to get out at the age of 18, she asks him when you get out, where would you go? He said, I’ve no idea, I’ve no family, I don’t know what I would go. She said, I have got a friend who owns a little factory maybe I can get you a job there. So she arranges it with the parole officer and then she said, where you going to stay? He said I don’t know where I’m got to go. I don’t have anybody. She said, I have got a spare room and you can stay with me. So he comes and stays with her.
After 6 months she pulls him aside and she said, you know I really want to talk to you come on in the living room and sit down, let’s talk. She sits opposite to him, looks at him in the eyes and says, do you remember in court the day you are convicted of murdering my son for no reason at all and said I will kill you. He said, yes Mam I’m never forget that day. She looked back at him and said I did. I did not want the boy who murdered my son to live on earth anymore. I wanted him to Die and that’s how I set about changing you, bringing you things, giving you a job and letting you live here with me. You’re not that same person anymore. That old boy is no more. But don’t have anybody. I want to know if you would stay here, I want to know if I could adopt you as my son. He said, yes and she became the mother of her son’s killer the mother he never had….
