Ngaphandle kwe-AOC-evunyiweyo yokuqesha umkhosi, uMohammed Latifu waseBronx wathetha neqela lamalungu oluntu. Eli qela lalihlanganisene kwinkumbulo yomntakwabo kaLatifu oneminyaka engama-21 ubudala, u-Abdul Latifu, owabulawa ngoJanuwari 10 e-Fort Rucker, i-US Army base-Alabama.

Nabani na obecinga ngokubhalisela umntwana wabo emkhosini, ndicinga ukuba kungcono ucinge kwakhona. Musa ukuyenza. Andinakuba nesibindi sokucela abahlobo bomntwana wam okanye nabani na ukuba ajoyine umkhosi. "

'Babulala eyabo'

“Bathi ‘bakhusela’ ilizwe,” waqhubeka uLatifu. “Babulala owabo. Baxhaphaza aba bafazi badlula phaya. Aba bantwana, abafana nabafazi abatsha baya ngaphaya, baxhatshazwa ngokwesondo, baze ke bababulale bazame ukuyifihla loo nto.

Baza kukuxelela, 'uxolo ngento eyenzekileyo, uvelwano lwethu.' Hayi, gcina amazwi ovelwano! Sifuna iimpendulo. Eyona nto siyifunayo bubulungisa - ubulungisa kuye wonke umntu onyamezele le nto kunye neentsapho zabo, ”uvale ngelo uLatifu.

“Kwiminyaka emithathu eyadlulayo, utshilo uMerino, “i-AOC yazisa isilungiso sokuthintela abaqeshwa emkhosini ukuba bajolise kubantwana abaneminyaka eli-12 ngokudlala kwi-Intanethi. Uyawaqonda amaxhoba omkhosi wase-US kubantwana abasesichengeni, abanokuchukumiseka. Ukuze i-AOC ngoku isebenzise iwonga lakhe lodumo ukwenza umsitho wokugaya abantu emkhosini wesikolo samabanga aphakamileyo, eBronx, imiqondiso yokuba umjikile umva abantu abaNtsundu, abaBrown kunye nabafudukayo abamonyula esikhundleni. ”
