Since Monday THE STAR in continuing its hunt for child killers campaign has been featuring prominent members of society who have lost family members to crime and violence, or have been victims of the same.

Singing Melody said the injury to his son Kemar Hardware on August 6 has left both him and the boy traumatised.

Kemar, 17, was shot and injured by gunmen along Waltham Park Road. He was shot in the back and the bullet travelled to his head lodging behind his right eye. The fact that he thought his son was dead at one point has left the singer, of the group LUST, reeling from the incident.

"Such things do affect you as a parent. When you see your child go through something like that especially when he is innocent is hard to deal with," said Singing Melody.

The singer whose real name is Everton Hardware said his son was supposed to start college this September, but his injuries has delayed his start.

"The incident has left him traumatised and he's undergoing counselling now, but he is up and running," he said.

Melody said the experience has made him feel sorry for the mothers of the nine children featured by THE STAR who lost their children to violence. The relatives of Oksana Douglas, Maurice Maxwell, Shanika Anderson, Sheneca Shakes, Shauna-Kay Legister, Sasha-Kaye Brown, Toni-Ann Thomas, Jovaughn Williams and Nicholas Baker say they have difficulty moving on because of their children's death.

"Anywhere you live and violence starts to affect your kids then it is going to be disturbing to you, whether or not you were affected. It just makes no sense people are going around harming children when you see this its going to affect you and you really feel it for people who lost their children that way," he said.
