The 16-year-old Baltimore teen who received the "slap heard round the world" from his mom for participating in Monday’s riots admits he’s “embarrassed.”
"I understand how much my mama really cares about me,” Michael Singleton said in an interview with ABC World News Tonight. "I just got to try to do better."
Toya Graham, a single mother of six, was praised as “mom of the year” for he actions, which were caught on camera by ABC 2 News.
"As long as I have a breath in my body, you will not be on the streets selling drugs,” Graham told ABC. “You’re just not going to live like that. Not with me.”
"She didn't want me to get in trouble [with the] law,” Michael acknowledged to CNN. "She didn't want me to be like another Freddie Gray."

Here we go...
Toya Graham, "MOM OF THE YEAR!!" For having 6 kids, including one thug son. AND NO FATHER TO SPEAK OF. Lord knows how many actual AWOL fathers (sshhhh, can't mention any of their whereabouts.) In 2015 she is the new June Cleaver!
THE reason she stopped her son from rioting: "I didn't want him to be arrested or wind up like Freddy Gray." (NOT because it was WRONG.)
The unemployed yet heavily coiffed (with fake eyelashes), sharply dressed IN BRIGHT YELLOW just happened to spot her dressed-in-black-mask son and put a whuppin' on him. IN FRONT OF ABC 2 NEWS *and* CNN CAMERAS -- conveniently set up to capture the entire moment! CAN ANYONE EXPLAIN THE ODDS OF SUCH A COINCIDENCE??!?
She be a star now, the "good" face of the riots as the black June Cleaver/Harriet Nelson. Welcome to 'The View,' and various Tee-Bee shows. Cash is already rolling it from da public. "Mom of the Year"?? HAH!!
How desperate we are for heros in the black community. This woman is done nothing more than any mother should do.
Exactly the underscored message. Except that the other obvious message remains: "WHERE IS THE FATHER??" )
So...NO FATHER to speak of; 6 kids. One son (supposedly) caught about to riot. A mother (who supposedly) caught her son about to be a lawless thug (had he thugged before this??)
Notice how the unemployed Miss Tonya was all coiffed, sporting the long false eyelashes, dressed in parakeet yellow, just happened to come across her son...AS the CNN/ABC camera were rolling?? And no body stopped what could easily be construed as...assault.
This coincidence...and supposed so-called "heroism" stinks.
For some 40 years now the US G0vt has been saying to little girls; "Don't listen to mom and dad, go out, have fun and if you get pregnant, don't worry we can pay to either kill that little brat or give you your own apartment, food, money, and other stuff, and you know what, we will take it out of the pocket of that mean mom and dad that want you to keep your legs closed."
Where did that reporter, in the first video, get those eyebrows?
???, I don't know... what's unusual about her eyebrows, Fred? They look fairly "normal" to me: two distinctly separate eyebrows, one above each eye in approximately the normal position where eyebrows normally grow... Cripes, it's not as if she has one great big long & bushy eyebrow that covers both eyes at the same time...
Maybe it's just her makeup... maybe her natural eyebrows are too "light" on TV and she has to paint them a darker color so they show up on the camera.
Or maybe you need to ask a woman, Fred, because they would exactly what you're talking about. LOL!

You may or may not be right about her past. However, she's trying to save her son NOw. Polishing stones?
“Let no one mourn that he has fallen again and again; for forgiveness has risen, from the grave.” John Chrysostom www.evidenceforJesusChrist.org

Well, "saving her son" is how this narrative is going down. Who can't not love this story?? It resonates with anyone will a heart and hope for the "unpolished stones." Who could be against that??
The mom is scheduled to be on Oprah...and I'm sure down the line this coincidental one-in-a-million event will make a great movie...
That said, you'll have to pardon my healthy cynicism, Gary. Seems to me that leading up to the very moment the mom "caught" her masked son (dressed in commando black but recognized by "eye-contact"), were she NOT at exactly THE right place at THE right time, the son (along with his like-minded friends would have done what he'd planned: LOOT, PLUNDER,DESTROY. Truth is, this kids was already tracking badly.
I would LIKE to believe this highly unlikely coincidence (covered on-the-spot by both CNN and ABC affiliate cameras) was real. I believe in miracles too. Just not this one.

Bob, it's with a sad chuckle I read your account of exactly what has been THE basis of just how a polite, respectful, thoughtful society has darkly devolved. This G0vt (which has replaced God.)
The g0vt "god" has created a 70% illegitimacy rate of all blacks and 25% of whites; The carnage of "birth control," aka abortion has fed this terminal narcissism; .Goob has facilitated the wreckage of destroyed families -- in the past born and raised by a mother AND father who taught them morals and ethics -- NOT the current secular humanist bureaucrats of 60's hippie-burn-outs with their gospel of "Do it if it feels good."
Hey, who needs either a mom OR dad OR God when Uncle Sugar-Daddy Sam is there to pick up the slack?; To provide food and the shelter, indoctrinate its warped ethics and relative morals, and NEVER tell them ANY thing is "wrong." (except disobeying g0vt and instead deferring to the US Constitution and Bible.)
The gubmint does everything BUT hold up a mirror to the angry lost and hopeless.
