A lot of this is caused by PALY and the parents at PALY. As a former paly student, I can attest that paly is insanely difficult. Not only are the classes like 1.5 or 2 times as hard as normal high schools, it is also expected that you get straight As instead of Bs and Cs (like normal schools). This is because parents pushed for harder classes, and maybe even because the school board wants to make more money by having higher scores. Also, parents don’t step up because they think “oh my child would never do this” “oh they’d tell me” “oh I could fix their mental health”. No. Maybe some, but not all. For every kid that kills themself, 50 more are struggling with depression, and 200 more are stressed and overwhelmed. Sure, paly students generally go on to have better careers than the average student, but what about the sacrifices? What about the people who burnout in HS or college? What about the many who don’t even care about the advanced courses they do? I’m sure every paly student reading this knows friends whose parents made them take advanced courses that they hate. I wonder how many go on to struggle with mental health for their whole life (however short it may end up being). And you know what’s sad? The school doesn’t even care. It’s their policy to mention it once, because it’s too obvious to hide, then never speak of it again. Paly ASB isn’t even allowed to hold memorials because the idea is to make people “forget about it”. The school thinks that by ignoring the dead student’s life and pain, they prevent suicides, but all they do is tell students how little a student’s life is worth. If a literal child dies, their life is worth a single message to all of the students (which chatGPT said was polished with AI) and that’s it. You know who didn’t “forget” about Ash’s suicide? The person who just killed herself. It was her number one reason to do it. Maybe if the school had respected Ash’s death, she could have found more peace with it. Maybe if she was able to get actual school therapy she wouldn’t have killed herself. Maybe if the meager “mental help” the school offers didn’t have a reputation for notifying parents, she would have sought help. Maybe if she had actual free time (a rare commodity for a paly student) she could have had time for school therapy, or time to mentally recuperate. Maybe if the school had even bothered to change a single thing after Ash’s death, Summer would still be here. But she’s not. And she will never come back.
Brooke supported: Petition for Active Suicide Prevention at PAUSDHello,
I am a survivor of multiple sexual assaults, one of which came within an inch of ending my life. I have been following this story for decades now.
I was never able to even seek justice for what happened to me, so watching the world finally take notice, and even seem to care about what happens to too many of us, was bolstering.
But it has been flagging again, and I can’t put into words the feelings of invisibility and sadness from each and every failure to achieve justice. I know that you are doing your very best and I’m beyond grateful for all of your efforts. If I could ask one more thing I would ask that these subpoenas be issued. The information is just waiting with those men. Thank you for allowing an opportunity to comment.
Lana supported: Demand congress subpoena key figures on Epstein caseI am a survivor of sexual assault violence ,please help the victims of Jeffrey Epstein by letting the files come forward so the perpetrators can stopped. Children deserve justice.
Sybil supported: Demand congress subpoena key figures on Epstein caseI am a retired physician/psychiatrist and CSA survivor who treated one of Epstein's victims in MI. I treated over 100 CSA survivors and many related the existence of "farms" in MI and WI where wealthy men flew in to abuse vulnerable women/children. Only national exposure will shut this down. DO YOUR JOB!
Greeley supported: Demand congress subpoena key figures on Epstein caseI've been assaulted by a family member hardly that much older than me as a child, and was told it was simply curiosity when I broke down admitting it happened several years later due to the guilt I didn't stop it. I felt dramatic, and overly emotional about something miniscule. It is not miniscule, all voices deserve to be heard and all offenders should face punishment. Keep this man behind bars. All of my love and hope to every victim out there.
Cassidy supported: Keep a convicted sexual abuser behind barsMy biological father also SAd me as a kid, I never talked about it until after his suicide. He was going to jail for SA against my older sister, our step mom found out and turned him in. We’ll never get justice and I never want a girl to feel powerless like I did. So I’m here, and I care.
Mariah supported: Keep a convicted sexual abuser behind barsI was molested when i was 4 years old. Authorities didn’t believe me. They questioned me for hours on end. I told them the same thing over and over again. They said that it could be possible for me (a four year old) to be lying or overreacting. At the end of the day he walked away free. I’m now almost a full on adult and still remember all of it. He had daughters who would yell and beg for him to stop but when my mom would ask abt what was going on he would say they were playing around. it didn’t make sense until I got older. I remember seeing him in my room and I still get nightmares of him hiding in my closet till this day. I still can’t watch movies that have SA topics without having a full meltdown. I can’t even hug my little brothers and I can’t even let my brothers get near me too much. It sucks seeing my brothers wanting to show me love and they can’t because I still get scared. No one should ever have to go through anything like that
Jessica supported: Keep a convicted sexual abuser behind barsYears ago, I was an Assistant Circuit Attorney in St. Louis, and I worked exclusively on DV crimes for about a year. Someone who will choke another person, in front of their baby, no less, is only a heartbeat away from being a murderer. Courts need to hold abusers accountable.
Valerie supported: Require a review of judge's ruling in Jordan Rowe's caseYou’re not alone — a community of supporters is ready to back you.
