Accordance to her, Jerryson was a quiet boy who did not like to speak loudly “When there was a quarrel.” “So we will walk quietly. I don’t want there to be riots. If there are people who want to do that, I want to ask them to leave the place. We don’t need that.”
The woman also called on people to pay more attention to children. “We are growing more and more separate. Parents work, it’s more about the money, and we forget our children. We are loosing our children by not paying attention to them.”
