Judge Mathis pays funeral expenses

On yesterday's show, Judge Mathis volunteered to pay for funeral expenses & braces for a 17 year old boy that hung himself. It came out that he was being bullied at school and may have had some other issues that prompted his suicide.

It was very touching and the boy's mom could hardly hold it together while telling the judge the story.

She was suing her ex-husband for half the cost of the funerals and the braces that he'd gotten shortly before he died.

The judge said how horrible the story was (at one point it looked like he might actually cry). Bottom line is he said "the judge", meaning himself would pay for both as the family had suffered enough.

By the time the show was over, my eyes had filled with tears.

It's things like this that make me like Judge Mathis.
