Something else

I'm Ian Wright and from Something else, this is everyday people.

In today's episode I'm speaking to Mel Tate,

a warrior of a woman come to terms of the death of her son Jordan.

Jordan Sinit was a footballer who had everything to live for.

But just two weeks shy of his 26th birthday, his life was brutally cut short when he was attacked by a group of men while on a night out.

Mum Melo, a detective in the police, was faced with the unthinkable, her own son, a victim of a violent crime.

She tells me about the moment she has forced to confront her worst fears as a parent,

and the incredible decision that she made from his bedside that would transform the lives of seven desperately ill people.

This is the story of Jordan's selfless final act.

A warning, though, this episode contains descriptions of violence you may find upsetting.

Your country's in big trouble.

The world is a pretty confusing place right now.

Did you plan?

Did you plan to have another child at that stage?
