"As you know, you explained it a bit earlier that he's adopted and his mother Linda claims that she has not seen him from he was 4 years old."

"That is right, that is so true, the question to her is why? I think you should do an interview with her before me to that situation because at this point in time I'm not happy, she's trying to fight for a dead body. All this time he was alive, we never saw her, if she had dealt with this situation differently, she would be more than welcome to be a part of this funeral but claiming that we took custody, Laddie doesn't even have a passport to leave Belize, there is certain things I wouldn't want to reveal but I would ask to do the right thing and don't be accusing me or my family in such manner. Laddie is from Camalote, Laddie is not hiding, he is going right at Christian Academy in Belmopan, he's not hiding for somebody trying to hide somebody. No man, no, that is not fair. As a mother you have a feeling, I feel it, as his guardian, imagine his mom, I understand that but don't be making these allegations and these lies in these times."
