“That bullet did a lot of damage?” Channel 2′s Tom Jones asked Favors, who is in Milwaukee tending to her son.
“That one bullet did a round...a round of a merry-go-round in his body,” Favors explained. She said her son just got out of intensive care, but is still critical.
Kaden went to visit his father in Wisconsin and was scheduled to fly back to Atlanta to start his senior year at McEachern High School on Thursday. He is four classes away from graduation.
Favors said that while Kayden played video games with a cousin, another cousin with mental issues shot Kaden and his cousin.
Milwaukee police say 22-year-old Jayuntae Gregory then got into a shootout with them a day later. He was wounded and taken into custody.
“How do we stop this gun violence?” Favors asked She says that’s a question we have to answer.
“A lot of times these kids are making bad choices because nobody has ever talked to them about the good choices,” said Bruce Griggs, with the group Save Our Sons.
Griggs will be trying to answer Favors’ question during his 26-hour Call To Manhood, Boys To Men Lock-in-- Friday night. It will run until 8 am Saturday.
Kids eight to 15 will attend workshops, hear speakers and play games.
“We’re also teaching these kids some tools how to deal with this violence and how to deal with their anger,” he said.
