Brunswick, Georgia (CNN) -- The fatal shooting of a 13-month-old boy in his stroller marked the second time mother Sherry West lost a son to violence, she said Saturday.
Her 18-year-old son was stabbed to death in 2008 in New Jersey, she told CNN.
"This is the second child that people have taken from me in a tragic way," West said. "I'm so afraid to have any more babies now. I tried to raise really good kids in a wicked world."

Poor poor woman. God bring her peace!
Was it the same father ?
Seriously does that have any bearing?
I can’t begin to fathom the hell she is dealing with. How do you go on after this?
Another article:
Her 18-year-old son, Shaun Glassey, died of stab wounds four years ago. She said he was trying to break up a fight but that his assailants weren’t charged.
The South Jersey Times reported police accounts that said Glassey was among a group of teens that jumped other teens, one of whom defended himself with a steak knife.
West’s first floor apartment is in one of the big houses on Union Street that has been divided into apartments. Many of the houses, however, are big Victorian homes that have been restored or carefully kept up.
Antonio’s father, Louis Santiago, lives diagonally across Union Street from West in another apartment house.
“I’ve lost my boy,’’ Santiago said Friday morning. “They could have just let him live.”

Good Lord, that’s more than any parent should ever have to bear. Can you imagine the grief she must carry? Poor, poor woman. Indeed, I hope she finds peace.
The poor woman has lost two children.
This is so sad. No woman should have to suffer this. It is beyond anything I could take. God bless her.
Good grief, what is wrong with you???
George has been watching way to much Maury Povich. Sad!
Unfortunately its not at all uncommon among inner city dwellers and the democrats like it that way.
Just read the CNN article attached. The tone is sick. CNN’s two hairs away from blaming her for failing to prosecute after her 1st son was murdered.
I’d like to know exactly what racist egged on this kid to kill a white baby. Why not start with the leader of NOI calling street punks out to teach groups of blacks street fighting against non-blacks so they can own property? Ridiculous ideas are factors all of a sudden!
(imho) there is an undercurrent named the gangster culture. Many of our nation's young have been seduced to mimic this type of culture, and now there is a result from this action by our nation's young.(imho)
Was it the same father ?

No. And the father of her late toddler lives in a nearby apartment.
Brunswick GA is a SMALL peninsula town in far SE GA. The ‘nice’ areas are only a few blocks on the SW of the ‘thumb’.
Brunswick failed as a city shortly after WWII when the shipyard there, which built 99 Victory ships was abruptly closed. About ten square miles of the town is housing built in that era populated with several generations of black ‘families’ living off subsidies, handouts and menial labor. I have done a lot of faith-based rehabilitation construction in that very part of town.
There are houses there with multiple generations housed there with no recognizable traditional family structure.
Recently the neighborhood mix has been shifted by marginally better off Hispanics moving in. The traditional residents have not always reacted well. The small pocket of BEAUTIFUL but dilapidated Victorian homes is mostly owned by gentrifiying whites who didn’t buy on nearby St Simons Island.
*IF* everyone in this story had been raised in a moral intact family the outcomes would likely be different.
So yes, it does matter in a way.
Absolutely ... The wind has been sown. The rise and growth of the wind, from the ground, is not the seed of good and a pleasant breeze will not blow when the ground final opens to reveal the coming wind of destruction. We will reap what has been sown unless God gives us His Mercy.

Married or not, she has lost two children. She didn’t abort them.
