(I thought) that's my only son and at the end of the day, I don't want him to be a Freddie Gray.Is he a perfect boy? No he's not. But he's mine, he knew he was in trouble, at that point, I just lost it. "I was shocked, I was angry, because you never want to see your child out there doing that.The Baltimore mom riot is truly a hero.
