Happy thanked the support of his family and friends.
“I am no longer the same, they left my heart lifeless but God is good, God, my son, my family and the support of my friends are giving me the strength to keep going.”
“I don’t have the heart to wish ill on anyone. My heart is clean thank God… that’s why my son loves me because he saw that everyone gave me love and that’s what makes me feel good,” he added.
Local media in the Dominican Republic assured that the minor’s body will be sent to New York between today and tomorrow.
