Mother of boy shot dead denies spending donated funds on new car | abc7chicago.com

nov 8 2015 CHICAGO (WLS) -- The mother of a 9-year-old boy shot to death earlier this week is being accused of spending money donated through a "Go Fund Me" effort intended for funeral expenses on a new car.

Karla Lee is strongly denying the claim Saturday night and commenting on those who have taken to social media to criticize her.

The mother of slain Tyshawn Lee says it's simply not true. She said she did not use money donated to help pay for her son's funeral to buy a new car.

"Y'all don't know nothing about me," she said. "For y'all to be bashing me like that, and I just lost my child."

Lee is defending herself after heavy criticism on social media accusing her of using donated money from a GoFundMe page. While she admits to buying a car, she says she used her own money to make the down payment for the 2015 Chrysler 200.

Here's another priceless quote from karla

"If a m-----f----- telling you they gonna try to take your life, too, because of whatever the f--- is going on ... they already took my son. I walk to work, I get on the bus. I'm not trying to be a target for nobody," Karla Lee said in one of the videos.

"I got this s--- for my protection. ... I'm pretty sure that's something my son would have wanted me to do," she said in another video.

WTF are you talking about? Dude, seriously, take a break from the racist propaganda. Have you ever lost a child? Grow a conscience.

Intense grief is a terrible thing. But I guess compassion ain't your thing. :shrug:

She denies it, and just lost her son. Have you no sympathy?

I feel sympathy for every one of the millions of mothers that have lost daughters and sons in the last 12 months. But why shouldn't they buy a car?

Pity. We cut down the old hanging tree last month. Otherwise 'could have come by, used ours.
 
Her son got shot so she buys a brand new car for protection???!!! Why not buy a gun?

The money was given to her to pay for a funeral not a brand new car. THINK
 
Racist misogyny. Just like his avatar.

Well what was she SUPPOSED to do with the money?

When people give as charity to individuals like that do they have some sort of notion as to what the individual is ultimately going to do with it?

When people win huge wrongful death settlements I've always imagined they just live on it - however they want to spend it. Charity to families would be no different, then.
 
So what if she used the money to buy a car?

Charity is voluntary, as is what the recipient chooses to do with it. Once that money is given to her then it is none of your business what she does with it. When I give someone money or goods then I do not exptect to have a say in how that aid is used.
 
if the go fund me page said the money was intended to cover funeral expenses, and she took the money and bought herself a car, then that's wrong

if the page just asked for general donations and didn't specify what they were intended to be used for then it wouldn't be a problem

she claims she used her own money though and it was only to put a down payment on the vehicle which is about a 22k car.

If the money was donated with the stated pretense that it was needed for funeral expenses, but was instead used to buy a car for herself, that could be problematic.

If not, really isn't an issue. Details matter.


The underlying story of a 9 year old boy being victim of a premeditated execution is where the attention belongs. But the sad reality is that in a week or two this event will be forgotten/dismissed.

*sigh*
The car buying was not prompted by her son's death. Her son died and she also bought a car. Why are you attacking a woman who lost her child?

You have no evidence that the gofundme money was used to purchase a car. Well, other than the fact that she's black. That's what is prompting you to attack the victim.

Well, I always have a hanging tree ready. All the time. Hangings are good for the harvest, gramps always used to say.
 
Money is fungible.

She also went to the grocery store. Are you going to bash her because she ate food with that money, too?

What was she supposed to do, give the gofundme money all to the undertaker and tell him that she wants a funeral for exactly that amount?

Good occasion for a calm bake or barbecue too.
