t almost 6 feet tall and 200 pounds, Finkley's son looks older than his preteen years, which plays into the conversations she has with him. Recently he came home, excited to tell his mom about a new game he was playing with friends.
"He called it Cherry Cherry Knock Knock or Ding Dong Ditch," said Finkley.
It's a childhood game where kids ring doorbells, or knock on the door, and then run away.
"As soon as he said it, my face kind of went stoic. I said you cannot play that game," she said.
"He said why? Because when your friend plays the game and he's running away from a neighbor's house ... he's going to go home. There's a probability he will go home to his mom. When you play it, you may not come home to me, because you will be seen as a black male running from a stranger's home," Finkley said.
"We have to have conversations younger than what we anticipate (about) our interaction with cops. Before, you know, you were having a conversation at 15 or 16. Now we've got to have this conversation at 7 and 8," said Natasha Gorden, mother of a 2-year-old boy.
"The childhood innocence is gone," she said.
