Adam Toledo's family announces nonprofit on what would have been his 14th birthday

Adam Toledo was shot and killed by Chicago police. Wednesday would have been his 14th birthday.

The family of Adam Toledo, a 13-year-old killed by a Chicago police officer, is creating a "rural sanctuary" for at-risk youth just outside of Chicago in Adam's honor. The nonprofit organization, called Adam's Place, seeks to provide a safe, supportive space for historically underserved boys aged 10 to 14. On what would've been Adam's 14th birthday, the family held a press conference on Wednesday to announce the project. Betty Toledo, via family attorney Adeena Weiss Ortiz, said: "If he would see me kind of down, he would say, 'Mommy, don't worry, everything will be better. I think about what Adam would say to me, and I think about how to make things better." "What I really want is to have Adam back," she added. "And I can't do that, but we can try to help other families protect their sons from the temptations that took add them into the street that night."
