oluchi Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Dad kills his 14-yr-old son because he's gay A 53-year-old dad Wendell Melton shot and killed his 14-year-old son Giovanni over his sexual orientation. "Giovanni was abused physically and mentally and spiritually for many, many years," said Sonja Jones, Giovanni's former foster mom. Over the phone, Jones spoke of the teen she loved as one of her own. . Jones says she was told by another family member that part of the argument that led to the deadly shooting was over Giovanni's sexual orientation. Jones says Wendell Melton had problems with it. . "He hated the fact that his son was gay," said Jones. "I'm sure that inside of his mind, he would rather have a dead son than a gay son." Court records show Wendell Melton worked for United Airlines. He once was a pilot. . Jones says Wendell threatened his son before. "I'm hearing his dad had caught him with his boyfriend before and pulled out a gun on him," said Jones. Giovanni was a student at Coronado High School. Jones says a beautiful life was taken away because of ignorance. "I hope they throw the book at him. I hope he never sees the light of day," said Jones. "I hope every day when he looks in the mirror, he sees his son's face." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has been saved from the whole emotional torture he would have gone through in the hands of his dad, which would have led him to taking his own life and ending up in hell. But at least, this way,oh well.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
