Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Kua whakamahia e tētahi kaitohutohu patu patu tana pūkenga ki te waihanga i tētahi hīkoi mō ngā tamariki matapo - mā te whakamahi i ngā hua manu. Ko David Hyche, he kaihoko motuhake inaianei i te Tari o te Waipiro, Tobacco me nga patu (ATF), i whakawhanake i te hangarau e iwa tau ki muri i te matapo o tana tamahine e wha marama te pakeke. Ka whakanohoia he pūkaha ki roto i ngā hua kirihou e tuku ana i tētahi oro nui. Inaianei kua tukuna atu e Hyche te whakaaro ki te Whare Wānanga o Alabama mo te Matapo me te Matapo i Birmingham. He mea hanga ki te hakari: Kua whakanui ngā tamariki matapo i Birmingham, Alabama, i te Aranga Nui i te tīmatanga mā te rapu i ngā hua kirihou e tuku ana i te oro oro. Ka whakawhitihia e rātau ngā hua manu mō te reka. Ko te pūrere: i whakanohoia e te tohunga patu patu a David Hyche tētahi kaituku i roto i tētahi hua manu kirihou kia taea ai e tana tamahine te whakauru atu ki te ngahau. 'I taku tamahine, ko tētahi o ana rerenga kōrero tuatahi, 'E mahi ana ahau i a au anō.' E hiahia ana ia ki te mahi i a ia ano, a ko te nuinga o enei tamariki e hiahia ana ki te mahi i tena, 'i kii ia ki a WBRC. 'He mea tika mō te hunga e tūhuratia ana ngā mea patu. He pākahiko, he pūkarere, he whakakā... he mea tino māmā.' I a rātou e kata ana, e oma ana i te wāhi tākaro i te pokapū ā-rohe o Brimingham, ka whakakiia e ngā tamariki matapo ngā kete ki ngā hua manu e tangi ana, i mua i te hoko i a rātau mō te tīhi. 'E aroha ana mātou ki te tuku i te whai wāhitanga ki ā mātou tamariki hauā me ō rātou whānau kia puta mai, kia whai wāhi anō hoki ki te katoa,' i kī a Tamara Harrison o te Alabama Institute. I whakaaro a Hyche (i te pikitia) ki te pūrere i te matapo o tana tamahine i te iwa tau ki muri. Kua tohaina e te papa tana whakaaro ki te Alabama Institute for Deaf and Blind (whakaahua) i tenei tau.
I hangaia e te tohunga patu patu a David Hyche nga hua manu i te matapo o tana tamahine. Ka whai ngā tamariki i te oro o tētahi pūorooro i roto i tētahi hua manu kirihou, ka whakawhiti i te reira mō te tīhi. Kua tukuna atu e ia te whakaaro ki te Whare Wānanga o Alabama mō te Matapo me te Matapo.
