Everyone spoke good of this lad
but he had a Moped at 14?
Thats wrong - maybe he was a drug mule?
maybe they thought he was another kid?
This was yesterday 6:30PM

[A 14-year-old boy who was stabbed
to death after a car crashed into his
moped has been named as Jayden Moodie.
The child was killed in Leyton, East London,
on Tuesday night in what police have
described as a targeted attack.]

[hijaxers]

Exactly what was this 'innocent lad' doing on a moped at 14 years old ? delivering drugs ?

[Beso]

Still no reason for him to have died in this way.

Or just popping to a friends house? Why are people assuming he had anything to do with drugs?

The poor boy, more young people losing their lives in senseless circumstances, it’s appalling, I feel for his family.

[Beso]

Could easily have been stabbed for his moped, or even that jacket he had on.

Poor kid, at 14 that is no way to go, even if he was ferrying drugs which is by no means confirmed, often vulnerable kids are targetted and don't have a way out of it

Bet they would still murder each other, they think it’s fun. I say let the animals play. Don’t want my tax spent on these loser scum.

[smudgie]

Poor kid.:sad:
My initial thought was had he “borrowed” the moped, and these murderous thugs chased after him.
He was a child, doesn’t matter why he was on the moped, he didn’t deserve to be slaughtered like that.

Because in London
14 year olds on mopeds are great to transport Drugs.

I said could be that ?, (maybe) there are no updates saying it was Drugs
but it makes no sense to drive and hunt him down?

[Crimson Dynamo]

Sounds like a drugs related death to me

happy to be proved wrong...

Indeed.

14 is only a baby, poor kid

[Livia]

At 14, shouldn't his parents have had some idea where he was? They're the first people that failed him.

"Zoe Grant, Jayden's godmother, told Sky News she was "numb" and "shocked".

Jayden was "full of life, fun loving, a ray of sunshine", she said, adding: "There needs to be more police on the streets and more for youngsters to do. The violence is out of hand.""

While I agree that there should be more police on the streets, at 14 his parents should take some responsibility that he was out tearing around on a moped on a school night. And the violence she talks about is mostly black on black violence... but no one wants to be stopped and searched. It's a bloody shambles.

Yes no one has said why
he was going round on his Moped
at the evening in the dark.

Yes he is pictured today with a skull scarf on his face on a moped making a gun sign


To blame the police and "lack of things to do" is frankly ridiculous

Why is the skull scarf the picture highlighted and talked about in this thread, rather than the smart jumper with the price tag hanging off it? I get my posts deleted a lot on this forum (I understand why) when I point out this place is TIBBNP, but this is absolutely appalling.

Lot of folks in this thread need to examine their views on life and race and be honest with themselves about what they're really saying.

It's funny how selective people are when it comes to neglectful parents I have to say :think:

I am tired of being told, on this forum, by people who have no idea who I am, that I must be honest with myself.

The fact this kid, from Leyton, who's been killed in a gang murder, is sitting on an illegal moped, with his face covered making a gun sign... doesn't ring any alarm bells with you? You can't see the correlation?

I come from east London, I'm a descendant of refugees. I've lived most of my life happily in one of the most racially diverse places in the country and I'm well acquainted with Leyton. I've seen kids just like this boy, younger than this even, hanging around on the streets, smoking dope and God knows what else, getting groomed by gangs, dropping out of school... Who is going to take responsibility for them? They're children. If there parents aren't going to take care of them, who is? Social Services? The police? Because when one of the dead kid's family comment, it's always that it's someone else's fault.

[Livia]

Good point.

As I seem to be the only one who has mentioned the kids parents, you must mean me. How am I selective because I think a 14 year old should be protected and cared for by their parent/s? Don't you think they have any responsibility?

I think they should bare some blame yes, just like I think rich white Doctors who leave babies alone while they go out drinking do. You weren't the only one with that line of thought though so no it wasn't only aimed at you.

[Livia]

And those photos show the marked difference between the hooded, masked figure making guns signs, and the fourteen year old boy who barely looks like he could get into a PG alone. It's a senseless death of a virtual child.

Oh I see, it was a Maddie reference. Hardly comparable apart from the fact they're both dead.

no, not comparable at all, the neglect from Maddies parents was alot more directly dangerous of course

[Cherie]

Kids like this are lambs to the slaughter, dispensible, lure them in with some cash and a fancy moped, there will unfortunately be someone else to take his place. I don't think there is a lack of things to do in his area, every secondary school has after school clubs with a range of activities which cost nothing,, the police can't be on every street, every hour of the day, they could not have prevented this unless they happened to be on the street at the time no matter what police numbers there are. I guess his parent or parents had lost control of him as he was sucked in and that is not easy to handle either because at that age what are you going to do lock him in his room....its very sad he could have turned it around but never got the chance.

[Crimson Dynamo]

Good point.

Its not a good point at all. Its SR reading "oh my god every one here hates black people" into every bloody thread he is in it seems


Pretending that this is just some kid who accidentally got offed by a gang is not helping. He is on a scooter at 14, dressed in an aggressive manner and maikng gun signs. Scooter gang crime and drugs is rife in LOndon as is stabbings related to such things

Get real and stop trying to blame the police, racism and anything else and accept what the evidence at the moment suggests

If it changes great but at the moment this looks exactly like a drug related killing

Now is not the time to make some half-assed racism point

[Cherie]

Tbf as well when that gang of white boys threw flour over that vulnerable woman in Suffolk, there were cries that they don't have enough to do, and most of the same people who are commenting on this thread said exactly what they are saying in this thread, it is no excuse

Would you like to quote my post saying I thought he was "accidentally offed by a gang" No? why? Because I never said that, that's why.

I also never blamed police or racism. The only point I actually made in here was that some people are very selective in their opinions of neglectful parenting, Fact.

PS
I will make whatever points I want at whatever time I want, I don't need your blessing :douf:

Was a general point, not aimed specifically at anyone in particular, just more of a commentary on what I read.

Kids with hoodies and masks, walking around the streets pretending to be gangsters can be seen in most big cities across the UK. I was smoking weed, underage drinking too, but because I grew up in a village that was deemed as one of the top 10 places to live in Europe by forbes magazine at one point, then none of this was an issue, and my parents didn't need to be controlling me. I remember seeing my brother crawling across the floor off his face on mushrooms when he was 13, and I was 7 (I didn't know what he was doing at the time!), that he picked from our own fields.

It's because you come from a refugee background that I expect you to know more and be better, and not to use it as a free pass to denigrate others.

These issues in life are rarely black and white, and laying them out as so does nothing to further understanding, discussion, or debate.

The problem is Lt, is that no one has any idea what your actual opinions are because you're more interested in trolling than participating in any discussion.

The issue here, is that a kid was tragically killed on the streets of our island and the first things people have to say is that he could be a drug mule, or he dresses "aggressively", which honestly, is one of the biggest snowflake opinions on here I've ever read.

The board is littered with code words and inherent racism. I get it that it annoys you when I call it out; if I was you, I'd be annoyed by that too.

Poor kid....horrific end to a life that had barely begun. This country is a scary place, I genuinely fear for the day my son is old enough to be out of my sight for any length of time. I grew up in Salford and Manchester - scary then and 100x more scary now but i don't want to wrap my son in cotton wool. There is such a fine line between protecting, over protecting and allowing independence.

Tbf the police have said it was a targeted killing related to drug gangs and he had described himself as a 'trapper kid' on facebook.. obviously he's just a kid and the tragedy is that he ended up in that lifestyle but it's the reality in some parts of the country, not really much point denying it

[Tom4784]

The narrative of this story would have been completely different if the boy was white. It's gross that the victim is being demonised for being murdered. It just goes to show how deep racism still runs in this country.

I hope they catch the killers soon and I hope the media turns their attention on that instead of highlight why the victim had it coming since that can only damage efforts to actually solve the crime.

The poor boy, more young people losing their lives in senseless circumstances, it’s appalling, I feel for his family.

Well as we know there's quite a few young teens involved in trouble & gangs so it's not far fetched to assume he was involved in that sort of life.

But on the other hand it could of been other reasons . Either way it's a horrible crime to of happened at just 14 years old ! .

Any suspects in this case yet?

I suspect it's black on black crime and generally black people don't co-operate with the police. So probably not. I have a mate who comes from Leyton, and wouldn't go back for a lottery win.
