If anyone knew how persuasive Sante could be, it was Kent.

She knew the words to you.

She knew the emotions to put onto you.

And sometimes she did it in positive ways, with love and affection.

And she also knew how to scare the hell out of you.

Like when Kent was 12 and still his mother's little helper.

And one day, on his own, he stole a surfboard and got busted.

I thought I was going to go to jail.

So Kent tried his best to go straight.

Maybe the difference between you and your mother is...

If you get caught stealing a surfboard, it scares you straight.

If she gets caught stealing a surfboard, it's encouragement for the next time.

She got mad because I got caught.

And she tried to give me, she actually took me to where I got caught and she told me how I should have done it so I wouldn't have got caught.

So Sante did nurture, in a way, the criminal way.

And she wasn't about to let anyone get between her and her son's.

On the outside, Kent lived what seemed to be a normal teenager's life.

High school, sports.

His girlfriend, Rhonda, loved spending time with Sante too.

This is the first time you saw anything other than the wonderful Elizabeth Taylor person.
