This petition is close to my heart and has hit home in the most devastating way. My sister is struggling with suicidal thoughts, much like our dear friend Aubreigh Wyatt did. Aubreigh was just 13 years old when bullying pushed her to end her life, after enduring the torment for 4-5 long years. Her grieving mother, Heather Wyatt, found Aubreigh lifeless in her room. It is an image no parent should ever see.

In the wake of Aubreigh's tragic loss, Heather used her TikTok platform to share Aubreigh's story. Her aim was to prevent others from suffering the same fate. But shockingly, her account has been unjustly taken down, curtailing her efforts while the account of [Redacted] the primary perpetrator of Aubreigh's bullying, remains active.

According to the CDC, suicide is the second leading cause of death among individuals between the ages 10 and 34. Per the National Center for Educational Statistics, 20% of students aged 12-18 have experienced bullying nationwide. Heather's voice is critical in this fight against bullying, it should not be silenced. It is urgent that TikTok reinstates Heather's account as a part of an essential advocacy against bullying.

Please join me in signing this petition to demand a restoration of Heather Wyatt's TikTok account. Her message is important to all, and it can save lives. Let us continue to shed light on Aubreigh's story and stand against bullying.
