Title: Michael Singleton: The Proverbial Son of Baltimore
Topic: Mom Saves Son

Discussed by Christopher Harris
with Unhyphenated America (www.unhyphenatedamerica.org)

No matter the measures parents take to raise their children the “right” way, some will stray; they will test the limit and make mistakes. It’s how we, as parents, deal with those mistakes that makes all the difference in the world. Christopher Harris, with Unhyphenated America, is here today to talk about the after-math of the Baltimore riots, specifically America’s favorite mama and her son. (If you do not recall who we are talking about today, take a look at this YouTube clip.) Where are they now?

As a black American, Christopher Harris was not surprised with Toya’s reaction to discovering that her teenage son was throwing rocks at police. What he did find surprising, however, was the backlash she received over that reaction. “She did what was she was supposed to do at that moment to save her son’s life,” Christopher states. “She went into mama-mode.” This was definitely a turning point in Toya’s son’s life. He is now studying computer coding in California. Amen!

In his article about this story, Christopher Harris studied the book of Proverbs and found some great insight into parenting, specifically for boys. Listen in as he and Terry discuss Proverbs 1:8-19 and Proverbs 22:6.
