Parents are at least 50% of the problem by not knowing where their kids are bunch less what they are doing. Mother walks into Walmart and tells her kids "Go play. I'll find you when I'm ready to go.". My parts told me, "Put your hands in your packets and every time I look down I better see you or your ass will pay when we get home.". Guess which child didn't tear up things are Walmart? Guess which kind was home once the street lights came in, if not before. Guess which kid has never car jacked a vehicle.

Agreed. But she's a grieving grandmother. She has to tell herself something to sleep at night. It IS insightful to hear what they say to themselves when their most precious thing gets killed because they let them.
He's 12 years old. Don't let him out of the house if he's running with the wrong crowd and you know about it. Turn him in to police if you know he's involved in crimes. Did anybody in this family call CPS or the police for help? He's dead because he wasn't parented and disciplined. If you want people 'held accountable', it starts at home. When we were growing up, you had to be in the house by the time the street lights came on, and we didn't live in a crime-ridden area. Your parents required that they met every friend you hung around with, and usually knew who their parents were.

Sad thing is when folks speak to people about their wayward children they become hostile and ask "how dare you tell me about my child" yet when that child grows to commit crimes or a victim of the life then societal conditions are blamed. However, things are just way different than when we 40 and over people were kids. We could have fights without getting killed after, we were disciplined by any adult and we never talked back, and we were held accountable and given tasks. I feel sorry for these kids that have no structure, no sense of community, and no respect taught for elders. Not saying all, but we are seeing too much violence and such with our babies. And it is not a color thing for those that will try it.
I am so brokenhearted for his families loss. It is so hard to keep the streets safe. We will have to keep working hard to make the community aware there is danger in the friends telling anyone to commit crime. We ❤ you, Jaylen.
My mother single handedly raised 4 girls and 2 boys. She instilled fear in us at an early age. We had to play near our home, she monitors our friends and if we didn't abide by her rules she was on us like white on rice. During down time and summer vacation she kept us busy. She enrolled my brother in a boys choir that traveled to other cities. She forced us to get summer youth jobs. And every Saturday we had to get up early for Saturday clean up. My dad was not available due to psychiatric issues. I always said my mom should have written a book called "Mom Rules." My sister raised her 3 sons and my nephew using the son principles and they are all outstanding young men. So proud. We don't play with these kids. Now I have grands and we stay on top of them.

A loud crash from the bedroom🥹🥹my mom rushed in: Massive heart attack🥹🥹My mom, by the Grace and Mercy of God, raised four boys and five girls!

Our mother used to walk us to Sunday School and church services. We had bible study regularly. When our mother passed we were kinda tossed to & fro but the love, respect, and all the other teaching’s from our mom, and I’m sure her many prayers, kept us pretty much in line! Now, EVERY Saturday morning, without fail, is bible study via conference call spanning three time zones. Prayer & praise are a part of this weekly “gathering”. It bothers me sometimes when I hear people say women can’t raise her kids alone! OR kids MUST have a father to turn out right!! What of us whose dads passed away?!

Lol, at 12 years old it's difficult to assign blame solely on his poor decision-making. This is the fault of the parents (if they were even in his life), his guardians, grandmother, and the community, just a complete failure that continues to repeatedly occur. We can't expect outsiders to come to the aid of black Americans when there's a clear lack of discipline and apathy toward education, responsible parenting, hard work, and respect for the law. The only easily attainable solution that could work is to disperse historically black neighborhoods into more diverse places to prevent the low income from living in concentrated pockets of hopelessness.

As a father and grandfather I can say that a lot of times you don't know what your kids do when you're not around The accountability is not always on the parents. In other words I did things when my mom wasn't always around if I knew I could get away with it. It's the same thing now, so stop always putting the fault on the parent because the parents may not always be around.

Ok, where is the mother & father? Exactly. The fact that the grandmother has to do all the talking tells you everything. No discipline, no situational awareness like the lady that was interviewed and got her child out of the area. You will be recruited in those areas for a gang period. You have to have a plan. Unfortunately, many of these parents lived the same life and it's all good until one of their children are killed.

No accountability at all. It's not anyone's responsibility to raise your kids the right way but the family. Grandma is blaming these "older kids" and taking no accountability at all

I’m am a black man, why do you let your child go out in the streets, where you know it’s trouble out there for yourself not to mention for your kids. You as an adult should show them how to live and stay safe. Just because you already been there before and you should know what time it is for your child. It easy to get into trouble and hard to get out of trouble. Expressly for anyone of color.

I feel bad for this family because I agree with the grandmother, adult were taking advantage of this 12 year old, even if he didn’t realize it. They use them like child soldiers.

Oh Ms. Gloria this hits home, I was a troubled youth due to things like domestic violence, sexual abuse. It was rough I didn’t graduate high school later, I did a lot of things to survive. Now my mom was there but because of the dysfunction she had brought into my and my siblings life there was no good communication as I began to get older and could see her issues and mistakes as well as my own. I had my son when I was twenty-five it wasn’t until then that I really started getting myself together, I still made mistakes like in picking his father, but if you really knew my circumstances you’d understand. I ended up being the best mom I could be, raised three boys. My step-son, my nephew and my baby boy. I did my best I promise you, I struggled to be a good mother i had days where I even had to take my son to work and school. I did many things for my son that my mother never was able to do for me, but out of everything I did I couldn’t keep him from the street😢😢😢😢😢😢. His father was never really in the picture, nor his fathers family, I made sure he graduated, had him in college. Unfortunately, the lessons I taught him about street life, he didn’t believe maybe because I’m a woman I don’t know. Shortly after his high school graduation, a couple of years he was put into a back against the wall kind of situation. He is now currently incarcerated, it will be a long time. But in this midst of our tribulations and trail God was still good and blessed him with a daughter. I never knew my father, didn’t meet him until I was 45, my son’s father even with all my son’s trouble still not in his life. Even if it’s behind from behind bars we will break the curse of the fatherless. I wish he had listened to me, he does to. I never wanted this for my son, Ms. Gloria. Sometimes I blame myself, many things I taught him were wrong, but I taught him what was taught to me. I thank God everyday for my granddaughter, and I pray that I can help raise her better than my mother did with me and I with her father. I happy to say she love her dad, and he love her. It’s my goal that she always knows that regardless to his absence, that she knows we as a family love her and will always be there for her. I am where you have been, pray my strength, days like today the weight of my circumstances are weighing me down. God bless you and yours

Parents need to start parenting their kids from the start and not waiting until they get older. I remember when my son stole some chips out of the store, and I disciplined him really well. Now, he has a degree in business administration and in the Navy instead of in jail. I made it my business to be in his business and his life. Now he thanks me and is appreciative of me being in his business and his life.
He had an ankle monitor for house arrest and was not home? Sounds like the parents had no control and allowed this young man to be influenced by the older kids the grandmother is talking about! Where is the accountability?

You telling him as you speak God bless you and your grandson I am behind you 100%
Not one time did i hear her blame herself or blame the parents for not allowing Jaylen to get involved in criminal activity or blaming the parents for their negligence. SMH. You have to take responsibility for your actions and non-actions of raising these children!

So you expect a grandma, who is on her last leg to start raising children again after she raised her own. Grandma don't have the strength for all that, she already did her job with her own children. Don't blame grandma

@@muahmuah No. We don't know what she tried to do to prevent this. But, we DO KNOW she obviously didn't do enough. She's blaming everyone but herself. Smh
Such a damn shame. Another young man lost in a heartbreaking situation. Influence on these young kids needs to start before the older kids have a chance to move in and control their young minds. Rest in Peace Jaylen.
Why was this father threatened to be arrested because he said to let his son stay under arrest until his husband bond hearing?!?!? More parents should do this with the hope these young thugs will learn not to commit crimes !!!!
He's only 6 years older than my grandson, so sad.
Accountability has been completely lost in our society. Just another sign it's over for us. This lady is the one directly responsible for this kids death!

Her daughter & the father is. It sounds like she stepped n 2 help, but it wasn't enough. Some people don't understand that it takes more than housing & food 2 raise a child. This child has 2 parents out here somewhere.

She's not completely wrong. I believe inner city children have been taken advantage of for a long time. They've been target for abuse and crime rings.

You know wassup, Baltimore is the city of projection, deflection, narcissism and abusing and neglecting children then blaming everyone but themselves
She lost me when she said he was out there doing things they Made him do. At 12 he shouldnt have been out there. Parents, G-parents(if thats whos raising the child) need to stop making excuses and take accountability for letting their kids run wild. She sits there blaming the city and others for her blind eye. That kid was 12 with an ankle monitor and she has the nerve to sit there with No accountability. The system tried to help too its ability, this kids family failed him and the streets ate him. Using kids for crime isnt new thats why we have moral stories like Oliver twist. The lack of home training is the main issue with soceity today.
Vote for real leaders and stop playing the race card and take responsibility for your family’s.
I salute her to the fullest for speaking the truth! She's a great example for voices that's in denial ‼️ Sorry Queen for your testimony because a lot of folks are in denial 🙏‼️

Why you let a kid on the streets unsupervised?? Now you want blame it on older kids. Take responsibility for your mistakes. That kid was going on the wrong path and the way he was being raised he was going to become another problem to society. Weak minded parents, need to grow up.

My condolences to you and family. May your grandbaby rest in peace and justice be done.
The Grandmother is absolutely right..rip.
I feel for her losing a child😢but why is she talking like a 3rd party observer to the situation? Was she not involved in his upbringing? She says the older kids did this to him, the older kids influenced him, the older kids took advantage of him. Where was his parents to influence him? Where was his guardians to guide him? If there is no mentorship at home, kids will get it from the streets.
