I was born in Newark, raised in EO. You can grow up surrounded by violence & still choose a different path. The environment matters, but so does your upbringing, the guidance you receive, & the values instilled in you.
This should teach us that not every city or neighbourhood is suitable for raising children. At some point, I question Javits Frimpong’s father’s decision to raise his son in the Bronx, where the crime rate is reportedly high and gang activities remain a concern in the neighbourhoods. As parents, we must be mindful of the environments in which we raise our children. Otherwise, they risk being exposed to violence, drugs and a life of crime. I hope the Government of Ghana intervenes and offers the family the necessary support during this difficult time. May we all learn from this tragedy, may his soul rest in peace. 💔 🕊️

May Black children everywhere be protected, cherished, and allowed to grow up in safety, dignity, and love. No child should ever lose their life this way. Rest in peace, dear Javits Frimpong. Your life mattered, you deserved a future, and you will not be forgotten.

CCTV footage has reportedly captured the moments surrounding the tragic shooting of 15-year-old Javits Frimpong in the Bronx. The footage could help investigators identify the suspects responsible for his death. This is heartbreaking. 💔 #JusticeforJavitsFrimpng
Sad news 💔🇬🇭
15-year-old Ghanaian teenager Javits Frimpong has reportedly been shot and killed in the Bronx, New York, while on his way to school.
His father believes the incident may be connected to bullying he had experienced at school, although police have not confirmed any link.
He moved from Ghana to America just a year ago in search of a better future, but sadly, his life has been cut short.
May his soul rest in perfect peace. 🕊️💔

Woke up with such a heavy heart that video hurt me so bad . Children are not supposed to be getting killed parents aren’t supposed to be burying their children . My prayers and condolences to the family of Javits Frimpong . Our parents come here to make a better life for us and this is never part of the plans . Please don’t use this tragedy as a means to start any silly debates , especially with no info on who did what . Bullying is what needs to be addressed and it needs to be taken more seriously ! Parents need to take a more active look at what their kids are doing !!

so a young Ghanaian boy was bullied in the Bronx and he was eventually shot and killed. literally was such a quiet kid and he came to America less than a year ago. His dad has been in America for the past 26 years. xenophobia is genuinely despicable. I’m sick to my stomach.

Being hardworking, financially focused, and building a life outside of an app is a flex in itself. There’s so much more to life than competing through pictures, appearances, and material things. Real success is having your life together, not just making it look that way.
