BROOKLYN — Family members and others gathered at Pier 3 in Brooklyn on Friday to remember the boy who died while subway surfing earlier this month.
Cayden’s mother says she tried to shield him from dangerous things like subway surfing but he knew about it from friends and social media.
“It’s unbearable. How am I supposed to find peace? My boy is gone,” Jaida Rivera said.
Rivera’s son died while subway surfing nearly two weeks ago.
The heartbroken mother wants answers as to how her 11-year-old left school that morning and found himself on top of a moving train.
“Where’s the security? Where’s the locked door? Where’s the staff? It doesn’t make sense,” she said.
Rivera says her mother dropped Cayden off at Fort Greene Preparatory Academy at 7:45 that morning.
Staff saw him eating breakfast in the cafeteria, but he was marked absent when attendance was taken just 30 minutes later.
