Steve Jobs calls family of teenager killed for iPod

As Errol Rose made preparations on Monday to bury his 15-year-old
son, Christopher, who was killed last week in Brooklyn during a fight
over an iPod, he received a telephone call from a stranger. The man
spoke in tones that the grieving father said had momentarily quieted
his anguish.
The stranger, Rose soon learned, was Steve Jobs, chief executive of
Apple Computer, the company that makes the iPod.
"I didn't know who he was," Rose said yesterday. "He called me on my
cellphone, at 4 maybe. Or maybe it was 5." Rose said he had stopped
noticing the passage of time since his son was killed.
The men spoke for a few minutes.
Calling him by his first name, Jobs asked how Rose was doing, he
said, and conveyed his sympathies. "He told me that he understood my
pain," Rose said. "He told me if there is
anything--anything--anything he could do, to not be afraid to call
him. It really lightened me a bit."
On Saturday afternoon, Christopher set out with three of his friends
in the Farragut section of East Flatbush. They planned to take the
subway to the Port Authority Bus Terminal and catch a bus to
Pennsylvania, where Christopher attended school, to watch a fireworks
display. Soon after they left Christopher's house, as many as a dozen
teenagers attacked the four boys, beat them and stole their
valuables, which included an iPod, the police have said.
During the fight, one of the teenagers stabbed Christopher twice in
his chest, killing him. Darran Samuel, 16, of Brooklyn, is being held
without bail on charges of second-degree murder and attempted robbery
in connection with the attack.
Prosecutors say the fight started with a demand for the iPod, the
popular digital music players that have sold in the millions since
Apple introduced them in October 2001.
In recent months, city authorities have noted a rise in subway crime,
driven principally by thefts of cell phones and iPods. The most
frequent victims, the police said, are teenagers who are robbed after
school.
In the days since Christopher's death, Rose has spoken of finding
meaning in his family's misfortune, and of working to help teenagers
like the ones who attacked his son.
His parents had sent Christopher to a school in Bushkill, Pa., hoping
to keep him safe from exactly the kind of violence that overtook him
on the streets of East Flatbush last week. Rose, a mason and a
construction worker, commuted three hours every day between New York
and Pennsylvania, spending long spells away from his wife, Sharon,
and their other children.
Rose said that in the last few days he had taken phone calls from
friends and relatives all over the world, and had received visitors
including Betsy Gotbaum, the public advocate, and Councilwoman Yvette
D. Clarke and her mother, Una Clarke.
One of Jobs's assistants contacted a reporter for The New York Times
on Monday and asked for Rose's telephone number.
"Some people talk to you like they're something remote," Rose said.
"He was so familiar. After every word, he paused, as if each word he
said came from his heart."
A spokesman for Jobs declined to comment on the phone call Tuesday.
Apart from the iPod, the boys who attacked Christopher and his
friends stole tennis shoes and a cell phone, the police have said.
"We live in a world which is changing rapidly," Rose said. "We have
the technology that can give us the iPod and everything else, but
it's not all these things. We have to work on the minds and the
hearts.
"We're failing these kids. We're not loving them like we're supposed
to."
