The mother of a 14 year old boy whom was shot dead in a turf war reveals how "killer gang" taunted her in a rap video. Corey Junior Davis also known as CJ was murdered in a turf war whilst he was standing outside a playground. The gang made a rap song about CJ's murder after he was shot in the head last September at Newham in East London.
The video of the gangs tauntings has been removed from youtube, Keisha Cj's mother has struggled to keep him out of the clutches of the gangs in the area. She has found him multiple times carrying drugs to sell for example there was an instance when she found him with $400 worth of crack and heroine, that he was being force to sell.
When a gang member called CJ's phone she pretended that he was arrested and she even contacted the police and social services and told his school he was not coming back. While she was waiting on Social services to move them away from Newham they went to live with her brother in South London. Unfortunately Cj had run away to live with is dad in the East End, social services had gotten Keisha a new home in Barkingside but it was withdrawn a week later.
Cj ended up suffering from irreversible brain damage and his mum had to take him off life support a few days later.
This is an regretable situation in which highlights an issue of gang wars and violence as well as how the governmental system is failing many of those in need. If social services had acted quicker CJ may still be alive and bettering his life as could be the same for many more youths. The government needs to put better systems in plan to keeps youths of the street and do what needs to be done so that they can instead invest into the community.
Last year over 30,000 young black men died by that of knife crime/ shootings, this has only increased as time has gone by, hopefully the government notice the loss of many young lives as an important issue that needs a solution.
