@brandymurray515: For over 30 years, David Smith has lived with a pain no parent should ever have to bear. In October 1994, his world shattered when his two boys 3-year-old Michael and 14-month-old Alex were killed by their mother, Susan Smith, in South Carolina. For nine agonizing days, David stood beside her on national television, pleading for his sons to be returned safely. He believed a stranger had taken them. Then the truth came out. Susan confessed. And David learned the unthinkable the person who took his children was their own mother. David's love for his boys didn't end in 1994. He has carried their memory every single day since. And when Susan came up for parole in November 2024 30 years later David walked into that hearing with Michael and Alex's photo pinned to his jacket. Through tears, he spoke for the two little voices who could no longer speak for themselves. He told the parole board that 30 years behind bars was just 15 years per child. “It's just not enough." He vowed to be back every two years to fight for them. That day, Susan was denied parole. Now, all eyes are on November 19, 2026 her next parole hearing date. Lately, as I've posted about this case, I've noticed something in the thousands of comments: so many of you are speaking up for David. And it's easy to see why. We hear Susan's name constantly, but David is the father who lost everything. He is the one who was left with photos where there should have been birthdays, graduations, weddings, and grandchildren. Michael and Alex would be grown men today 33 and 31 years old with lives of their own. Instead, David has memories and the heartache of wondering who they would have become. ❤️ I think it's time David knew that after 30 years, people still remember Michael and Alex. Do you stand with David in opposing parole? #susansmith
