“I’m going to … see what as a state we can do to [stop] these children from doing this because it’s not right what they’re doing to themselves.”
The heartbroken and “numb” mother of a 14-year-old boy killed while “subway surfing” in Queens Thursday sounded the alarm about the disturbing trend that she wants local politicians to address.
“I’m trying to get to the detective right now so that I can talk to the mayor so that we can try to get these kids from doing this on the subway,” said Javen’s mom, who identified herself S. Fraser. He was a high achiever in school, according to his mother, who described her only son as “bubbly” and “the life of the party.”
When he didn’t return home, she reported him to the police as missing and later received a call from NYPD detectives who said she had to go to the hospital.“I was so in shock, lost for words, don’t know what to say, still numb, don’t know how to feel,” Fraser said. Last week, after Brian Crespo, 14, died while subway surfing atop an L train in Brooklyn, Mayor Eric Adams blamed social media platforms like TikTok for the daredevilish stunts.
According to MTA data, there were 52 reports of people riding outside of subway cars in the city in February and 58 in January, the most recent stats available for 2023.
