The distraught mum said she knows she'd 'do the same again'.
The distraught mother was alerted to the horrific news after coming home from a night out with friends by her daughter, Jade.
Jade had informed Donna of what Joshua had confided in her regarding the fatal incident which took place between himself and Charley.
She added: "Jade said he'd stabbed this boy, who he had never met before, then gone off to bed. I ran straight into his bedroom and turned on the light. Josh was asleep and I was shaking him awake, but when he came to he admitted everything."
Recalling the night, Donna revealed that her son was 'scared and didn't know what to do' upon which she made the difficult decision.
"I said there was only one thing he could do - hand himself in to the police," she continued.
Joshua, however, was 'too terrified' to do so.
Donna explained: "So I said if he wouldn't call them, I would. He just nodded. So I grabbed my phone and dialled 999."
"My son will have to live with this for the rest of his life," she concluded.
Joshua Delbono was sentenced to a minimum of 21 years in prison at Bristol Crown Court last Tuesday (11 April) for the murder of Charley Bates.
