Also, In a written eulogy for her son, Jun Lin mother said she has developed sympathy for his alleged killer, Luka Rocco Magnotta, and will set up a foundation to help troubled youth.

His mother did not attend a public funeral service held Thursday morning in Montreal and later told reporters at a news conference that she felt it would have been too hard for her to handle. But she wrote a eulogy for her only son.

"I have been waiting for this day to come, because my son can finally rest in peace in this land that he loves," she wrote.

She also writes about why she decided to establish a foundation in her son's name to help troubled youth in Montreal.

"We have received a lot of help and care from the people here and we want to return something back to this society, to help the youth in need, to help them find their way back to a loving home."

She describes thinking of her son's alleged killer as the "devil" at first, until she learned that he had a difficult childhood.

"A troubled young person may bring negative impact to the society later on when they grow up. If we can show our care for them and offer them help when it's needed, I think we will be able to sustain a better society with love and harmony."

She finished her eulogy with a message to her son.

"Jun Lin, I believe you will be happy with my decision. Mommy will stay strong. Rest in peace, my son. Goodbye."

The killer is still a horrible person raised by horrible parents. That fact will never change.

Unfortunately, troubled youth / people come from troubled parents, and on it goes. Parents have to pay attention to their children, give love and treat them with respect the same way everyone deserves respects.

She has a big heart, mourn her child and at the same time, have time to feel sorry for the killer.
Troubled or not, his son is gone! How can she feel sorry for Luka?

But good for her for thinking about giving back to the society and wanting to help.

Incredibly strong woman. Kudos to her. I know if it were me, the hate and desire for revenge would overwhelm me.

RIP brother.

[jacobe]

She is a very big person for thinking like that.

raising money for troubled youth or for her pocket?? I'd like to know more about this foundation.. Perhaps she had seen this is a get rich quick scheme and didn't bother attending the funeral.

This is why I am all for abortions. The majority of troubled children come from careless neglectful parents.

If abortion wasn't legal, then we would have a significant increase in welfare, disability, crime, criminals serving sentences, homeless, etc.

Sadly, even with abortion, this problem continues.

A fix would be for every potential parent paying a "fee" to a government tribunal if they wish to have a child. Then the government tribunal which is financed by these fees (199$ for example) would interview candidates to see if they're properly fit mentally and financially to raise children. Those who are approved would get a certificate/seal (and the approval recorded through government records). Those who decide to have children without going through this procedure should be fined with other heavy legal penalties. Birth control and condoms stations should be present at every high school to prevent accidents.

A child without a childhood will likely not succeed and they are very likely to repeat their parents' mistakes (or worse). The cycle continues endlessly.

It will be under Jun Lins name and proceeds go to charity.

Your not an optimist or optimistic at all, are you?Come on man. Somebody died. This is not a thread to bash this woman.

[forthewinwin]

The vibe I'm getting is "Oh, so the killer had problems... Oh ok. Let's raise money to help troubled youth." Earlier when I saw the news story, she was even stating that she longed for justice to be brought to the murderer. Kudos to her for having such a big heart, but I feel this is too rapid of a conclusion.

Her son suffered a horrible, completely unnecessary death. Things like this shouldn't be happening. I don't care if you were born with a hard live with numerous problems, but you should not be killing someone like that. Having a troubled growing up is no prerequisite for slaughtering innocent people. This is not the first time I've heard of a story similar to these lines. A few years ago someone rammed a truck into a sushi bar in my town, which caused a few deaths- one of which was a classmate's sister. The truck driver got off the hook by hiring numerous psycrigists (excuse my spelling) to state that he had a mental illness.

I guess this is one of those ethical dilemmas: Should you forgive someone for slaughtering innocent people if they have mental/emotional problems? Or, should you take the more blunt perspective and state that people should be punished and not forgiven regardless of whether they had such issues?

Anyways, RIP..

Yeah, but everyone will be like: "Oh OMG OMG we have all these rights so they have the right to __ and ____ so they should also have the right to breed corrupt babies!" We also live in a society where repair is favored over prevention with a "NOW/present" mentallity versus a "future" one.

I always see these young people having kids far before the mother even has a stable financial life, and before she knows it her own life is ruined along with the child's, because he/she lacked the proper mother and father to take care of him/her. It happens at such a frequency and such a degree of acceptance among people that many people see nothing wrong with it. I think of some of the people I've come across in high school- those who have kids shortly after high school graduation or even before it, and I can't help but feel bad for the child. Or, you have people who have a kid after dating only what I think is a short period of time with little capacity to sufficiently care for the child and think it's "forever", and the next thing you know is they break up and the child is to grow up with only one parent with insufficient support. Some of these mothers are even only teenagers with little to zero regard for the future of the child and herself, albeit at more of an extreme, nevertheless common.

Try to look at the situation from the mother's POV. The next logical step was to focus her sadness towards doing something constructive. Also corrupt babies do happen less with middle class parents. Parents who are poor or too rich are IMO at greater risk of raising a child that's not such a great person. Being a middle class family helps people decide and rethink their morals and ethics. But that's just my opinion.

Please be more disrespectful so we can all see how shameless and classless person you are. If I ever meet you, remind me to slap you in the face for being someone who would think something like this regarding a person's funeral.

RIP Jun Lin. Peace be with his family in this difficult time.

I dont know about this. A lot of unwanted kids do pretty good and even create entire industries like Steve Jobs lol. Think of how many jobs he created, like the ipod, iphone, apps, is pretty much an industry in itself lol

Can anyone give the Coles notes version of how Jun Lin got mixed up with this "magnotta" guy in the first place?
All I've read about focuses on his death and the video and....afterwards.

[Corleone187]

I think the consensus is that they were lovers
