My name is cheryl. I am a mother of seven children that is until 10-02-06 i became mother of 6 children and 1 angel. My son ernest was the best kid you could ever have. On 10-2-06 he was murdered by 2 gang members from 76 east coast crips. My son had no involvement in gangs. He was very active in his church [jesus is the answer baptist church in carson california]. He worked there also as a videographer for the youth ministry. These cowards shot my son in broad daylight in the cubby hole of a church. He had just walked out of the store on his way home. At the time he was on his cell phone talking to his girlfriend and the drove up on him and asked him what gang he was from. He put up his hands and told the cowards that he was not from any gang and i guess that was not enough for them. So they shot him and he staggered towards the church and christopher mathis got out of the car in busy rush hour traffic with a mom and 2 kids in a car behind them and shot my son some more. All i can remember is the doctor at california hospital in los angeles telling me my son was shot 11 times. After that everything is just a blur to me. I am hoping someone will see this and know what kinds of things are happening to our kids living around gang members. They disrupt our community and they prey on our innocent kids. What has this world come to. Maybe they will one day pass a law that will put these gang members away are give them the death penalty. One positive thing has come out of this. Another mother has been spared a lot of tragedy because these scums were caught while my son was dying on the operating table. So now they will rot in jail. Hopefully it is so much to the judicial system. Now that i think they will only get life for me that is not good enough at all i want to see them die by lethal injection but i know it wont happen. Ernest was just another young man, but to me he was my world. I blame myself for being the best mom to my kids and somehow i guess i was selfish to love them so much and i had to lose 1. If there are any moms out there that feel the same way i do post on here and let me know i would love to hear from you, god bless cheryl
