Subject: We are all in this together!

I am very happy and thankful to see that there is an organization such as Who Killed Our Kids to help solve murder crimes and help the families to have some closure. However, I don't see how it can be true closure without forgiveness towards those that are truly repentant of their crime, being part of the process, (and I think the way to know that they are repentant isn't by words, but by a person's behavior after the crime and their willingness to admit they did a terrible wrong & work towards a plan to help stop these types of crimes, whatever that may involve, like maybe talking to younger kids about what could happen to them if they take a life) I believe that not only would that help the family of the victim to be able to go on in peace but that it would help the community as well. I think that both the victim's families and the person that committed the crime need to work together to get to the bottom of what can be done to help turn such behavior around for the future generations. I think it's great that this organization was started but I also think there is still much more work that needs to be done! It has to start somewhere and remember that we all have to answer to God in the end or do u really think he will say it's ok to have harbored unforgiveness in your hearts and prevented a possible solution or at least some help for the terrible situation that's in front of us all? No one wins here. It's time we do more.

Thank you for your support of WKOK. And yes you are right there is still alot of work that needs to be done. Also there is no such thing as true closer because we will never have our loveone back but we will have peace & justice along the way to forgiveness. And forgiveness come's with time. And yes we as mother's go out into the streets , prisons, church's & community centers and speak to the youth & the older guys about how it impacted us to lose our sons or daughters to gun violence & to let them know this is what happen when you chose violence instead of peace.
