Specialists: Why is this teen bleeding from the eyes?
A mother is pleading for help for her teenage son who has been bleeding from his eyes.
"I felt it coming up like a tear. I felt my eyes water. Sometimes it'll burn as it comes out," 15-year-old Calvino Inman of Tennessee says on a CNN video.
"I don't care where we have to travel. I will go wherever we need to go. I will do whatever I have to do. I just please want somebody to help my baby. That's all," his mother Tammy Wynatt says.
