The flow of weeping children entering Vinnie Kaur’s florist store in Hall Green, Birmingham, this week was almost too much to bear.
“Several people said you need to make good money for the flowers,” she said.
“I don’t want to make such money.”
It has been five days since G -Kaur heard sirens outside the white flowers of Lotus and rushed out to see the police and the students in the nearby Persians Lane.
The 12 -year -old Leo Ross was stamped in the stomach While he was home from Christ church c of e secondary academy At 15:40 GMT on Tuesday.
Within hours after appeal by police, which is urgently sought by witnesses and video footage, it was confirmed that Leo had died and a 14-year-old was arrested on suspicion of murder.
He is believed to be the youngest victim of crimes with a knife in West Midlands.

It is believed that the attack was carried out near the railway bridge, to the Tritiford Mill Park.
Dozens of floral homage and balloons have remained there, along with emotional respect from his classmates.
“He has never been a problem,” Guzh Kaur told Leo, one of the many children who passed her store most days.
“Such an innocent face. I have never seen [him] Raising noise or hanging around. “
She told many in the area, as if they had lost one of their own.
“I have never seen anything like that,” she said, seeing what the community looks more prominent.
“Maybe he was such an angelic soul, so everyone gathers.”

Hall Green is a rich part of Birmingham, halfway between the city center and Solihul.
Many families are attracted by good primary and secondary schools in the area.
The fact that Leo was killed while he was coming home from his own, shocked the whole community.
Laura, who works at Highfield Road’s Billsedge Café, said she did not send her 12-year-old son to school, the day after that she happened.

“I won’t let it go anywhere, even before it happens, I won’t let it go here. I just don’t feel a safe place,” she said.
“It’s just not a safe zone … I’d like to move out of Birmingham to be honest.”
She had previous conversations with her son about crime with a knife in the city and even searched his bag.
“This is something I have pierced in them [the children] Because they were young, ”she said. – He is well aware of crime with a knife.
“I think this should be done more in schools. I think they should have some metal detectors, maybe when you enter schools.
“Parents should check their children and blazers.”

Leo was a “lively and happy young man” and “adored by his friends”, his present said the head teacher.
It hasn’t been much since I left Chilcote’s primary school, just around the corner where they were attacked.
In a letter to parents and care, Chilkot’s chief teacher said she spoke with all children from three to six years, offering the support of their reliable adult, if necessary.
“I understand that this is extremely anxious news for our community, but even more devastating to the victim’s family, who are and will continue to be in our thoughts,” she said.
Primary students, old enough to enjoy the independence of going home, may want to be gathered by adults or more brothers and sisters, if they were worried, the letter adds.

On Sunday and a later date, a vigil for Hall Green is planned and on a later date a permanent memorial.
But what many people want here – and in Birmingham – are answers and solutions.
Saranya Rajgru, which works at a Prior Road comfort store, is new to Hall Green.
She is accustomed to the excited talk of the disciples of Christ Church, who burst to get sweets after school.
But the atmosphere changed to some extent this week.
“Everyone looks so scared,” she said.
“This is the area where we have many schools. We need to think about mental health.
“Schools [and] Everyone should know the students that they do not use these sharp objects. “
Near Leo Secondary School, Ravenshill Road, a colorful mural is painted with a spray on a fence that stands out among a row of houses.
She reads: “Rest in peace Leo. Put a knife, save lives.”
