A heartbroken mum whose son was jailed for the murder of teenager Lyrico Steede said her world was torn apart when she found out he was responsible.
Amanda Jamieson, 49, from Beeston, said she went through her life "with a fine-toothed comb" and spent many days hiding under a quilt while she tried to make sense of what went wrong.
Hmmm, are there any clues?
The single mum believes her son, Christian Jamieson, who was brought up going to church, probably needed more male mentors to stop him falling in with the wrong crowd.
Ah!
As a mother, she said, she tried to do everything to steer her son away from crime, even moving out of St Ann's.
But not settling down in a stable relationship with the father.
She added: "We need to provide support to families - the home should be the biggest pull - the best gang should be the family unit."
That's the 'family unit'
you clearly failed to provide?
The names in that news story - Lyrico, Kasharn, Remmell - tell us more about modern Britain than I care to know.
ReplyDeleteBlack on black, eh? Who'd have guessed that there could possibly be violence without a single whitey in sight?
ReplyDeleteTrevor, it's "Diversity": you are supposed to revel in it and feel enriched.
ReplyDeleteBeing a single Mum is the fault of one or two people. WHy must we be saddled with the cost of keeping murderous scum alive when she and the sperm donor are to blame?
ReplyDeleteTed, I know and I don't. I'm a very naughty boy.

ReplyDeleteThey always seem to go hand in hand with this self-pitying whining from the relatives, don't they?
"Being a single Mum is the fault of one or two people. WHy must we be saddled with the cost of keeping murderous scum alive when she and the sperm donor are to blame?"
They say it's because we're civilised. I must look that up in the dictionary one day. I am pretty sure it shouldn't mean that.
