A Southern California mother wants equity for her 16-year-old son, whose body was discovered in a soil field early Tuesday, according to a report from NBCLA.
“How could you leave my son in the soil,” Elizabeth Schmidt told the TV station. “My only kid — 16 years old. The most seasoned and he’s gone.”
On Monday evening, Robert Schmidt Jr. asked his mother to drop him off at the Apple Valley Skate Park where he could hang out with his companions, she recalled.
“Everything was fine. He just appeared all good on our way here, we were talking about dinner,” she told the station.
“At the point when I got to the skatepark he said, ‘Mother do you have $10?’ Then he said, ‘Bye, I love you.’ And he realizes I had work at 10 p.m.”
Elizabeth, who works a night shift, called 911 the following morning when she realized Robert hadn’t gotten back. San Bernardino Region Sheriff’s appointees responded to the call at about 9 a.m. and discovered Robert’s body in a field across the road from a Dollar General store, which is around the corner from the skate park, officials stated in a public statement.
