| Braylon's
mother left messages on a news site where people were commenting on the
death of her son. Below are her statements, I have not edited her statements
in any way:

"This is the mother of Braylon Alexander. I have
been sitting here and reading all of the comments. I just want everyone
to know that I loved my son more than life itsself. My son changed my life.
There isn't a day that goes by that I don't miss my son. My son was never
abused. Braylon was very spoiled and loved. I don't understand why he had
to leave so soon, but the only thing That I can do is get my life right
with the lord so one day I can be with my son again. I was actually adopted
to the Alexander Family. My adopted parents were ashamed of me for dating
black guys, and the reason they didn't know about my boyfriend was they
didn't want to meet him because he was black. What really hurts the most
is that the ones who really loved my son and excepted me and him, are the
ones who are getting accused of killing my son. My family told me that
I messed my sons life up by making him mixed because he wouldn' ever be
accepted. they told me that if he started looking black that he needed
to be raised by blacks. And as far as my sons side of the family, I do
believe that Braylons father did love him in his own way. But He was so
caught up in the street life that he didn't take the time to even get to
know my son. I struggled to make sure that my son was tooken care of. I
never would stick beside anyone who harms a child(espically mine) cause
men come and go. Lekedrin has been around since my son was one years old.
He loved my son. The only thing I ask is for everyone to please stop all
the hateful comments, and let God reveal the truth. I am only fallowing
my heart and doing what I feel is right. I can't sit up and let someone
that ny son loved die or go to prison if they are innosent. And the people
who isn't quick to judge, I want to thank you. And also the altopsy isn't
even in yet. I may have done some stupid things in my life, but I can proudly
say that I loved my baby and braylon knew that I loved him. You all need
to quit believing everything in the media because."

"The media twisted everything around to make thing
worser that what it seemed. I never said that my son fell from a brick.
I said that it was possible. That news lady cut out alot of what i was
saying to make her a good story. A she is very cold hearted for that."

"This is Braylons mother again. I want to clear
some things up also. As far as the person who said that I was a unloving
mother and that the grandmother took me in. Well don't even go there about
being unloving, because there were so many times that My son had to do
with out and I went through so many jobs because I could't afford day care.
I cried so many nights when my son was alive because I didn't understand
why my side and my sons side of the family didn't want to love my the way
that they should've. Braylon was a beautiful baby that was full of love.
When my son died, my own family wanted to have the funeral service to be
the way they wanted it to be. Wich was they could have their own service
at the funeral and I wasn't even allowed to come, but me and my black friends
could have the grave sight service and the wasn't going to come to that.
They wanted to still bury my son out of hate. And also No one knew this,
but the friday before that monday when my son went to the hospital, my
son was at my parents house while I was at work, and my two year old son
was riding on the back of a four-wheeler with my five year old nephew.
and flipped off the back and hit his head. My parents failed to even tell
me that it happened until after my son died and lekedrin got put in jail
for it. There are alot of things that people don't know about so please
just stop slandering my name like I was a horrible mother."
