“Something has to be done. How were they able to get through that fence?” Jahaad’s mother, Siana Gordan, asked. “I asked myself ‘Did I ever tell him to stay off the track?’ How could I miss that? I talked to him all the time.” “Amtrak knew this was a danger, which is why they erected this fence in the first place,” Igwe said Wednesday. “Amtrak builds in poor inner-city neighborhoods and doesn’t invest resources to maintain its property there. That has to change.”
“I pray no one else has to go through this,” she said, “and I hope everyone is held accountable. We need justice for our sons.”
