On Thursday, April 21, 2016, 16-year-old Honor Student Amy Joyner-Francis was violently attacked by several other students inside of a bathroom at the Howard High School of Technology in Wilmington Delaware. This young student subsequently died after this violent attack. The violent attack was allegedly recorded on cell phone video and allegedly disseminated on social media. These types of violent acts are becoming far too frequent, and the glorification of these types of violent acts are becoming the new norm. I am making the following proposaIs: 1. I propose that local, state or federal legislation be passed to identify and prosecute those individuals who video violent attacks against other persons with the intent to display these senseless, violent and gratuitous acts of violence on social media; 2. I propose, that any individual who records these violent acts and who fails to intercede (summoning help) or act as reasonably as to contacting authorities be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law as an accessory to the violent act in which they are recording; 3. I propose, that the individual recording such violent acts be given reasonable time (within 12 hours of the incident) to turn such recordings over to the proper law enforcement entity with jurisdiction over the location of the incident or be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law as an accessory to the act; 4. I propose, that individuals who video these violent attacks be prosecuted to the full extent of the law as accessories to the act, if these recordings are uploaded to any social media platform with the intent to circulate and redistribute, prior to the notification of the proper law enforcement entity with jurisdiction over the location of the incident; 5. I propose, that any social media entity which allows the uploading of these senseless, violent and gratuitous recorded acts make attempts to identify the location of these acts and forward such recording to the proper law enforcement entity with jurisdiction over the location of the incident or any other local, state or federal law enforcement entity which can further investigate these acts; 6. I propose, that any social media entity which allows the uploading of these senseless, violent and gratuitous recorded acts be financially sanctioned for every day that these videos/recordings are displayed on their social media sites without making an attempt to identify the location and notification of proper law enforcement entity with jurisdiction over the location of the incident or any other local, state or federal law enforcement entity which can further investigate these acts; 7. I propose, that any social media entity which allows the uploading of these senseless, violent and gratuitous recorded acts be held financially liable for damages to the victim of these violent acts if the social media entity makes no attempt to identify the location and notification of proper law enforcement entity with jurisdiction over the location of the incident or any other local, state or federal law enforcement entity which can further investigate these acts. Social media entities which allow the uploading of these types of videos/recording are in essence glorifying these types of violent acts. I believe that holding these social media entities accountable, financially and from a social responsibility perspective will eliminate the medium for these types of acts to be displayed and viewed. These sanctions will hopefully reduce the supply and demand for these senseless, violent and gratuitous acts. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends of 16-year-old Amy Joyner-Francis, and I pray that governmental interventions such as those that I have proposed will end the glorification of these senseless and tragic, violent acts. Please stand with me and forward this petition to as many people as you can so we can save the lives of our children and change their mindset on violence. J.D. Josey IIPhiladelphia, PA
