The verdict makes me think my son's life didn't matter. I'm still waiting for justice.
Just before I left my home on the morning of May 31, 2021 my 14-year-old son asked me to comb his hair. I was heading out to go shopping with my friend, so I said I'd do it when I got back.
My child went just like that. And now, the boy who killed him might only serve two years in prison. It pains my heart, I still can't believe what happened. They had cordoned off the place and I saw a blue tent. The police said I couldn't go over there to see my son. The next time I got to see him was when he was in the mortuary.
Dea-John Reid, a 14-year-old boy from Birmingham. Reid was chased by a group of white boys and men, and fatally stabbed. But the jury said that this was not murder. They found the boy guilty of manslaughter and the others were acquitted—they got off with nothing. The boy was sentenced to six-and-a-half years, which means he will probably be back on the streets in two years.
