A South Carolina woman was recently ordered to clean up her own dead son’s blood. According to the Huffington Post, Loretta Robinson’s son, Justin Walker, was killed by a drunk driver in June. The driver, Anna Gonzalez, is an illegal immigrant and has been living in the U.S for 12 years. Gonzaleaz has since been sentenced to 17 years in prison.

A South Carolina woman faced tragedy last June when a drunk driver killed her oldest son.

But the still-grieving mother, Loretta Robinson, is now being billed for the various charges associated with the accident, including a $50 charge to clean her son’s blood off the road.

Justin Walker, Robinson’s deceased son, was not found at fault for the accident. The accused driver, Anna Gonzalez, tearfully pleaded guilty in court last Tuesday, the Daily Mail reported.
