Susan Manning urges her son not to give up hope even as he’s looking at up to 136 years in prison.

She’s the mother of American soldier Bradley Manning, who disclosed hundreds of thousands of secret documents to WikiLeaks.

In a rare interview, the 59-year-old Manning says she may never see her son again but that he should know she still considers him her ”Superman.”

Apparently, she has undisclosed health problems.

The 25-year-old soldier was convicted of many charges, but was acquitted of the most serious one, aiding the enemy.
