Young Boy Witnesses Death of Mother

This article in the Lowell Sun tells the tragic story of a 4-year-old boy who witnessed the murder of his mother at the hands of his father. It was at Children's Hospital Boston when Kelley Wicker, a child life specialist met the young boy after a car accident. Wicker testifies that the boy cried for his mother numerous times; when she told him that his mother was on the way, he said to her, "Daddy killed Mommy". His mother's body was found at his father's apartment, choked and fatally stabbed. Aside from the obvious concern about bringing this man to justice, there is major social concern for this young boy. He is currently living with his maternal grandparents; making sure he receives the proper care after witnessing such a heinous crime should be top priority for his current caretakers.
