Usher’s ex-wife, Tameka Foster, is taking the first step to prevent further accidents and deaths by starting a petition to drain the Georgia lake where her son died.

On Thursday, Foster took to Instagram and announced her effort to drain Lake Lanier in honor of her son, Kile Glover, who tragically lost his life in a jet ski accident on July 21, 2012, HipHopDX reported.

“On this significant day, July 6, we remember the tragic accident on Lake Lanier that forever altered my life. My courageous son, Kile Glover, fought for two weeks with unwavering strength until his passing on July 21,” the 52-year-old wrote at the beginning of the post’s caption…

I’ve done workshops for parents who lost children and are stuck in the grieving process years later.

It’s a complex process and usually they are not grieving for the reason they think they are.

Often is a projection of an unresolved trauma from earlier in life that is projected onto the current loss.

Yes, the people can be very intelligent in all other aspects of their life, but have what I call loopy logic related to the loss.

I’ve worked with Dr’s, attorneys, professors and other very intelligent individuals. The loopy logic is not related to intelligence level.

Ten years later and they will still speak of the event as though it just happened.

Anyone can have an accident. One of my mentors at Pratt and Whitney in Columbus died when he and his jetski hit a navigation channel marker on the Chatahoochee. He made a mistake and was caught on the river at dusk. I rode my jetski in Florida as far as 20 miles offshore, on the Indian River lagoon, and on the St Johns river. I’ve seen a very experienced rider run a jetski they were trying out on a dealer demo day into a sandbar and go flying 40 ft ( thankfully into deeper water) off of the ski. I’ve seen the person in front of me not even see the Brahma Bull charge into the water at his ski and miss him by a foot. Like on any vehicle, inattention or lack of focus can lead to severe consequences. The most dangerous jetski is the one you are getting onto, especially if you aren’t familiar with it.

Dozens of marinas, thousands of homes, million gallons of water to the Atlanta area, and a sportsman's paradise.

No. Dumb idea.

Before this 12-mile-long lake existed, the Chattahoochee River, now dammed by Buford Dam making the lake, used to flood seasonally and occasionally kill thousands.

The delusions of the few outweigh the needs and enjoyment of the many. Sorry for her loss but it’s not the lake’s fault.

This gets trotted out every now and again because there have been some 700 deaths on Lanier since it was made. I was in the south of Georgia and heard tales of "Haunted Lake Lanier". And, like so many other places in Georgia, it's all for revenge by the dead black folks (in this case, the residents of Oscarville).

Ghost of black folks versus what the Chattahoochee could do? I'll take the ghosts and a crucifix (why take chances?)
