Toya Graham, an assistant manager at an alcohol and drug treatment center,recognized her son on TV even though he was wearing a black ski mask that covered up much of his face. When he saw her coming, his first instinct was to run away.
She said: ‘He gave me eye contact, and at that point, not even thinking about cameras or anything like that…

‘That’s my only son and at the end of the day, I don’t want him to be a Freddie Gray.’
‘Is he a perfect boy?
‘No he’s not. But he’s mine.’

The Maryland mother said: ‘He knew he was in trouble. At that point, I just lost it.
‘I was shocked, I was angry, because you never want to see your child out there doing that.’

And she smacked and pushed him away from the rioting scene.
