It should be told to everyone, especially the age demographic where violence is more common. People get the wrong ideas about violence, life and death. Anger may last a moment, death is forever. Bringing that point home is what may help change the cultural norms that glorify violence and put it forth as a solution to problems.

I grieve with this poor mother and pray that she may find peace. I am in awe of her strength and love of her child. That too is something many can learn from.

It is not the killers that should be household names, but the victims.
