Did you know that babies are always scared of death? They admire to leave longer life and thus, early this week, we received an encouraging message to end violence out of the mouth of a baby.

A St. Louis 6-year-old boy pleaded to his audience to stop the violence through a Facebook video that has gone viral with the help of his mother, who posted the precocious child’s words.

As soon as the camera starts rolling, the little boy says, “People need to stop killing each other because it just makes me feel bad,” Jeffrey Laney, says to the camera.

His mother Leandra Cheatham additionally supports her child by an accompanying message stating that Jeffrey was just complaining about being afraid to die. “Jeffrey listens to everything around him including watching the news, and there are a lot of evil things there.”

According to Cheatham, the death of her cousin, 17-year-old Taylor Simpson, who was killed in a drive-by shooting, last month, also helped spur her son into action.

In the event of discussing violence between the mother and her son, Cheatham decided to film her son’s response. The kindergartner says in the video, “I don’t want anything to happen to all my family because I’m scared to die and also scared for my family to die.”

In an interview with Post-Dispatch, Cheatham said he didn’t want people to hear her break down crying and thus had to cut the video short. Even though she was hurt by the message, Cheatham was indeed proud.

The 28-year-old mother works at the St. Louis Justice Center, where she takes the inventory of prisoner possessions and other data. Cheatham added that she reminds him son every day that that is the one place she doesn’t want him to be and that there are a lot of bad people out there.

Indeed, Jeffrey knows a lot about what goes on beyond the comfort of his home. In the video, he says, “I’m a kid, and I know all this stuff.” He adds, “I know I’m supposed to concentrate on academics, but people need to stop killing each other.”

Towards the end of the video, Jeffrey acknowledges the fact that God is his weapon and isn’t worried about nothing since God is going to make sure he is safe.

On Facebook alone, the video has been viewed more than 127,000 times as of Tuesday and shared more than 3,700 times.
