The Realization That My Son is Now a Statistic

November 5, 2024

Since joining Mothers Of Murdered Columbus Children Private Facebook group, I’ve found it to be a wonderful organization that not only wants to prevent murders in our city but also provides support to mothers like me, whose child has been killed.

While some posts can be inspiring, uplifting, and provide community information for workshops, food drives, and fundraisers, others can make you cry. To bring about change, they must include tear-jerker posts when reporting facts about violence happening in our city.

Today’s post stopped me in my tracks as I scrolled through the page and my heart skipped a beat. The post I’m sharing below is on both the private and public MOMCC pages therefore it’s okay to take it outside of the group.

This post made be stop because I realized that my son, John, is included in this total for the month of July.

On July 28, 2024, John became a homicide statistic.

I never really thought about that until I saw the total number of monthly homicides in written format.

That’s something a mother NEVER wants to have to see or say.

Ever!
