Will wu and the city council come out
To address this? Rollins? Perhaps she can set up a special hotline.
Not Rollins, Hayden. I didn't see him there on WBZ
I saw Wu and Brian Worrell
Hayden was there

He's standing behind the mayor when she speaks, then addresses the media
No child should lose their life that way!
This was a good kid. Very respectable. This child wasn't in high school yet. What happen to the good old days when a kid could have a nice summer without worrying about being gunned down. I pray they catch the person(s). This can not be a headline today and forgotten tomorrow!
We've removed fathers from the home
Bombarded kids with violent messaging in media, music, games, movies.
Removed any personal responsibility.
We need to strengthen our family units again.

As a father of two young boys, I can say with confidence, they will never have to worry about becoming involved in street violence. Simply because as a man, a father and a husband, I’ve made the decision to actively be involved in their lives.
It’s such an easy solution and doesn’t require monetary wealth, just love and time.
These tough guys are so soft they can’t even raise their own kids.
