In a real-life fight, two minutes is a pretty long time.
It's longer than your average boxing match.
"A second is a lifetime in battle." -Ryu
Two minutes is a boxing round and it was 3 v 1. That's pretty relevant.
holy crap i didn't even think about that! Like literally set a timer on your phone for 2 minutes and imagine how much you can do in those two minutes. Yikes!
A boxing round is three minutes. Bare knuckle is two minutes.
Violence in schools is like violence in prison, nobody addresses it.
School IS prison.
Because "they're kids".. Violence isn't the answer and for being violent you get in trouble. Period.
Violence is "addressed" in school and prison. It's the administration of both that doesn't do anything. Their hands are tied concerning what they can and can't do. If they do the wrong thing, they'll be labeled as racist or homophobic and then won't get funding or be fired or sued.
Hilarious none of the teachers want to get involved, but you gotta wonder how some of them feel when the victim shows up with a gun, and starts shooting everyone.
You think they'd do better with that statistic alone, but no one cares until it's too late and involves them.
Well for some reason Americans have their schools based off prison systems so.. that says something about your country.
Schools don’t do anything when it comes to bullying. So many schools tend to not believe victims or take the side of the bully because of their last name. Schools should be held accountable for not protecting their students.
yea because bullying isnt some horrible thing its part of life.
you being so soft you cry about it makes me wish we could deport you.
im so tired of how weak and emotional youre generation is.
Not quite true. They conduct 'anti-bullying' training which ironically results in more not less bullying. Seems all the training does is give them ideas.
The superintendent is responsible. He deliberately made the environment hostile to lgbtq youth.
not quite true youre a liar after all
and i guarantee you cant back this statyement up with a source.
also why is it not the parents job to raise and teach their kid morals?
oh because you love mommy and daddy but dont like teacher thats why.

We don't know who the bully was. We don't know cause of death. Beware of these outrage stories.
The biggest lie they tell you in school is "We will not tolerate bullying"
Who cares its LGBTQ 💀
Antiherolbc sad but true
The school didn't even know because by her own admission she never told them or anyone besides her mother.
She wasn't bullied, she asked for trouble and she found it.
@ez1 Nex WAS bullied and fought back. It's always punish the victims who fight back and never punish the bullies themselves with you people.
How does it feel to be on the wrong side of history?
How do you determine that an ambulance isn't needed but tell the parents to take the child to the hospital. ?
This isn’t the school first incident of this. Other students mention. School negligence. Students at fault were found though.
How do you not specify which student went to the hospital?
One is an emergency, one isn't....really easy
The same way fighters go to a hospital afterwards.
No mystery here.
You’ve never had to go to the hospital other than with an ambulance? 😂
We live in a world that glorifies bullies, and we punish those that punch bullies back.
This is the result of our sick, incoherent society.
It's not the world, it's the school staff with no tolerance policies and the government being against self defence and the 2nd amendments
🤣
typical, the comunists at MSNBC to delete my slightly right-wing coment even though it is in support of this person
It's less a case of society. It's more so school administration's and government organizations punishing self-defense, which encourages bullies
I agree, this guy was clearly bullying the women in the women’s locker room.
I was bullied by a cop who didn't like me defending my kids against his abusive kids. The bullying lasted 2 long years and I was even put in jail because the "bad cop" knew the system and how to file bogus claims against me. The ironic part is I met this cop at church I attend. Finally they lost their house and moved. Bullying is pure evil !!!!!
You sound like a bad Karen
@kylekorona sure does. She sounds like your typical libral, leftwing democrat. That uses these kids with mental health problems as a badge of honor. Look my kids mentally ill 😅
@@IamNigglerand you sound like someone who has no business posting on the internet. Saying something like this about someone whose kids were bullied, based on one thing they posted online, makes you sound like a judgmental jerk.
@@IamNigglerno you sound mean. There are bad cops out there who take advantage of their position just as there are just bad people in ALL careers. No one should be allowed to bully your child, regardless if the reason they are being bullied. Bullies learn from their higher up, a parent or an older sibling and shouldn't be tolerated. Quit using the name Karen in this way, although it does help is to distinguish the idiots in the room.
@@IamNiggleri became a cop for that exact reason,To abuse my power
Schools really don’t care about bullying even when children die. 😢
@@zoeandersonapparently there had been records of nex reporting the bullying for a long time before this incident, which the parents backed up. the incident the day before their death started according to nex and the current official narrative when the older girls who had been reported as bullying nex previously cornered them, at which point they threw water on the girls to try to fight back (or get away, its unclear) which was met with a beating, and they died the next day. if this was just a "tragic loss of life following an act of bullying", i doubt there would be so many "well what if IT was the bad guy!!" comments that ive seen made to try to confuse people. but since nex used they/them and thats the current boogeyman, everything has to be pinned on them of course
edit: forgot to mention, allegedly it took quite some time for nex to be able to even stand and had to be assisted to walk to the office, and asked an ambulance to be called, but it didnt get called until their parents came to pick them up.
@@zoeanderson I made an indirect comment.
the school doesnt care at all. not even acknowledged on their twitter page. the internet needs to attack.
students took out an abominations. they are the true heroes not the so called "victim"
Neewe threw water on the girls,. so they attacked her. @@zoeanderson
My husband was sucker punched once, and they continued to stomp on his back after he fell to the ground. He had the every line and crevice of the sole of the shoes perfectly bruised on his back. I’ll never forget the perfect shape of the bruises. I don’t know how anyone human could inflict this type of physical damage on someone. Those violent kids are sick.
don't ever go into any inner city school then, because this is a daily occurrence.
I just love unrelated stories that deflect away from the facts
Nex threw water on the girls
They fought
The cause of depth for Nex not related to the fight
I doubt the true facts will ever make it out via the lamestream media aka the propaganda arm of the demoncrap party. always more to these stories, thank you for gettin it out.
I'm seeing more and more of these "But what about me" comments. Your husband clearly did something stupid and paid the price.
@@Dirlewanger.unless her husband crossed a certain demo & wouldn’t just give him the car keys
"Yeah they just kind of keeled over on their own. Had nothing to do with the repeated blows to the head. Crazy, right?"
The girls Benedict bullied fell over? Where did you hear that?
Thats a lot of fight you are saying happened in just 4 seconds!
Well the autopsy and toxicology report proved it was a drug overdose....
I’m missing something. This article states the child did not die from trauma and they are waiting for toxicology results to determine cause of death.
Exactly!!! But of course the media inserts their narrative, so the lie possibly becomes truth 🙄
Correct, that's what the video says too. What's your question?
@@atutor1it doesn't add up.
@@openlybookish it doesn't fit your preferred narrative is why you feel that way
@@atutor1 preferred narrative? Getting your head slammed can cause serious damage including what happened hence why the article isn't adding up imo.
murder is murder, and murder is all the more reprehensible when a child loses their life at the hands of hate. nex, you deserved a better future.
It was probably suicide.
🤣🤣🤣 smoking on nex ashes 😮💨🚬
I don't think they were murdered. I was reading another article about this and they went home before they died (instead of in the hospital), and they were being bullied. Wouldn't surprise me if unfortunately they saw their only way out as death. It's an absolutely heartbreaking situation that's been caused by the state's rhetoric around these people.
@@skinwalker69420 Bullying someone till they commit suicide would still be murder in my book.
@@aaeedee35
Unless the bullies told them to off themselves, no it's not.
You're not directly responsible for other people's actions.
How can they say the death was unrelated to the fight but also say the death is the same as a death resulting from a hate crime.. isn't that disingenuous? The coverage of this is textbook propaganda. It's always interesting to me how they decide when they want to protect the identity of minors and when it benefits them more not to how they just totally forget about it and no one blinks twice.
Do you have trouble hearing? They literally said that the cause of death is pending until toxicology results and other tests are in. Blame the parents. T kids are like vegan cats, its not the cat thats making the decision
It's absolutely disgusting and evil how they are using this young lady's death for their agenda, politicizing it: from the tone of voice to the biased narrative based on heresay, shifting to political issues. Evil.
@@TheAngryAustrianthere is an inferred narrative that the young woman took her own life due to bullying and discrimination, and those "horrible" "anti LGBTQ+" bills across the nation.
She died after she was beaten toxiocology is just in case they find something which there wasnt any indication of in the first place, also they said the fight and death wasnt related which makes no sense again, you should listen and read more.@@TheAngryAustrian
@TheAngryAustrian the saddest thing is that 48 people with mob mentality gave this comment a like 😢
So this is a murder that they are not calling a murder right to our face.
Or other parties involved, wonder why. The victim was also a minor.
Well said! 👍
yea no youre assuming based on an anticop bias.
this is you being a leftist who assumes in place of being informed.
bet you call it critical thinking as if rhetoric somehow validates your assumption.
It's not by any definition a murder.
No, let's not go that far. We don't know. I definitely have my serious doubts that the trauma had nothing to do with the death, but we shouldn't be making factual statements like that, that are baseless in facts and only serve to incite others.
Gotta say, this sounds like a brain injury to me. Those can often get missed at first glance, only showing up later, and then becoming fatal.
A friend's mom had an aneurysm - she had a headache, went to lie down, and never woke up.
And it can be REALLY hard to detect a slow brain bleed.
It would fit all the criteria.
I hope the family insists on a thorough and independent autopsy!
Since a friend's mom had this happen, it MUST have happened here, right? After all, YOU know much more than the hospital does when it comes to medicine. Especially when you are desperate for a political narrative to be fulfilled.
Reports say that Nex’s head was repeatedly slammed on the floor. With the later symptoms it sounds a lot like hematoma. The coroner saying that they died of “natural causes” immediately after a severe beating sounds a bit suspicious.
My friend got home from work last year and went to lie down and died of unknow reasons. He had gotten the covid vaccine but absolutely no reason for his passing was ever revealed.
It can be suicide.
Would have been diagnosed during the autopsy...most likely will be fentanyl and the LGBT groups will keep pushing the fake story they are now. Very high suicide rates no matter how tolerant the society, even San Francisco and Sweden experience it.
Regardless of which side you are on the whole LGBTQ issue, a human being lost their life, and it appears the school authorities are trying to sweep it under the rug. The responsible parties need to be brought to justice and lawsuits against the school filed. Just another reason homeschooling has become increasingly common in the last decade. The whole "zero tolerance policy for bullying/harassment " is one big lie, because my high school in the early 2000s had the same "policy " and a small group of students were out of control and the most severe consequences were usually a chit chat with the principal and occasionally an after school detention.
the problem is most schools do not want to have cops poking around, the more poking around the cop does, the more a investigation will get started.
theres a reason why "school resource officers" are called that, its so they look separated from the real law enforcement and they act as a separate entity too. the main thing is the SRO is only a extension to the schools own corruption, often times its just a department throwing some "problematic" cops into being SROs. i imagine there is plenty of encounters with SROs and parents questioning the school itself that either end poorly, and go under the radar for a long time, or the parents themselves fight out it and the judge issues a non-release order, that acts like a NDA.
There is no side this thing assaulted people in the people who were assaulted fought back. Not only that she didn't die from the fight like George Floyd she probably died from fentanyl. Stop being soft America is in a cold war and these things are winning. The mom out here misgendering😂😂😂
loads of people loose their lives, so what? at least they weren’t aborted
Ummm the LGBTQ+ BShii person WAS the bully…!!! She actually threw water on two young girls and harrassed them…
@@Sophiieeexx I’m sure that was a deadly weapon! I remember getting water thrown on me once and I barely escaped with my life!😂🙄
It’s so disgusting that people would go after the parents for using their child’s birth name while grieving and dealing with trauma!!!!! Of course in a moment of loss and extreme distress they used the name they had spent many many years calling their child. They said they were still learning so the switch was probably recently but either way ppl should be truly disgusted with themselves for going after these parents over something so trivial at this point. Their child isn’t alive and they will never get to hug them or see them again but that’s what everyone wants to focus on n bully the parents over?!

There is definitely reason to cover up or at least minimize the situation, and considering the people currently in power in Oklahoma it wouldn't come as a surprise.
@@DavidKen878 They did not do anything about the fight or prior incidents... this is going to be a law suite and qualified immunity only takes you so far.

Instead of bullying family members , HELP them to understand better .. Parents educating themselves to support their child, HOW is this not a process ? ACCEPTING it, is a big change in itself.
If a parent cant raise their kid to know the difference between male and female, they are a failure of a parent, and feeding their childs delusion

@Ni-dk7ni Nex is a girl you silly goose. Biological female and in the right bathroom.
@Ni-dk7niFirst of all the teen who died was a biological female, and did not go by he/him or she/her. They went by they/them and was bullied for months (they don't know if the bullying is because of how they identified or if there are other reasons) the girls started bullying the teen that passed away gain and the teen lashed out and threw water at them, the girls then jumped the teen. So either way the teen was biological female so that was not the probably of why they were in the bathroom.
@Ni-dk7niMaybe instead of "betting" actually pay attention. The student is non-binary not trans, they are biologically female. And even if they weren't being jumped is crazy.

excuse me but your missing the part where the kid threw water on the other students, and therefore a fight broke out. it had nothing to do with their gender, stop pushing that narrative. the kid shouldnt have been attacked but they also shouldnt have provoked multiple students by throwing water on them. in reality, she started the fight first.
Nex was provoked by the three girls who were bullying her. There's only so much a person can take. She was standing up for herself. There was no intent to physically harm her tormentors, just wanted them to stop. She did not deserve to be attacked. It was three against one. The parents need a second opinion on the cause of death.

She also said that she didn't even know these three younger girls, and had never talked to them before. They never bullied her. And a lot of her classmates are saying nex was a well known bully.
From now on, please put "police say" at the beginning of the thumbnail so I don't have to waste my time thinking there's new info.
students walking themselves to the office could still have a concussion or brain bleed. School boards are too busy stigmatizing victims to admit wrongdoing
I hardly doubt that three teenage girls are capable of beating someone into a concussion or brain bleed. and they went to the hospital after and we're discharged, a concussion or brain bleed would be easily indentifable at an er. and they did state to the victim seek medical attention.
Are we really concerned with the pronouns?
Oh yeah you call her, uh, non binary... Or something!
Or they/them will call the police.
The people attacking the family seem to.
Like OH EM GE, quit bullying us (limp wrist emoji)
No sane person is.
No... it isn't that hard figure out.
Non binary teen, safe to assume gender neutral pronouns were used by them.
My heart is quite stonecold and my lack of emotions would probably qualify me as a sociopath; yet, learning about the loss of this poor teen's life breaks my heart. I can't imagine what the parents are enduring right now. I hope there is enough trauma created by this that it can change Oklahoma's backwards ways, ignorant minds and hate.
Sadly, nothing will change because small minds revel in their own ignorance and hate. They will defend bullies and liars. This is the real America the world sees and abhors.
Go stick ur opinions about Oklahoma. She was the aggressive party. She attacked the other students first. She didn't die of trauma..try to keep up.
@@chriscordray8572 she didn't attack the other students... she literally only threw water on them. also, the whole argument that she didn't die of trauma is likely untrue, considering that the state she lived in takes an anti-LGBTQ+ stance.

How can the police make that statement when the autopsy isn't completed?
The preliminary / physical exam is done. They are looking into toxicology
Why is this kid getting more attention than the white teen in Las Vegas who WAS beaten to death by 13 black teens???
He was a straight white male. It goes against their narrative...
Because Oklahoma is smaller than Oklahoma
It’s most likely to happen in Nevada than Oklahoma
Because he was white, he was a guy, and it was black aggressors. It completely goes against the medias victim narrative.
Bulling has occurred for years and is not specific to the trans community. Bullies will find anything to be a bully over.
Is that your version of 'all lives matter'?
So yall just jump straight to conclusions eh? Watch it be something else...
Equal rights, equal fights.
Advocating for Violence makes you unfit for Civil Society.
Are they gonna act like this is a an ending linked to sexuality OVER mental unwellness?
The mother was bullied for using her birth name..terrible. And the body cam footage shows Nex admitting she started the fight with the younger students. Maybe if it didn't go viral around the world putting her under extreme pressure over a school yard fight she may not have downed so many pills, deliberately or accidentally ??
I'm pleased to report that as of this writing this video has 2.6K likes and 4.3K dislikes. Enough of this trans propaganda NBC..
Human Rights are NOT Propaganda.
Hate your yours Contributed to their death..
All this lgbtq stuff has to stop! NOW! All this racism and antisemetism and anti- anything. Live you life. Do good to others! You don’t have to understand! Just be the best you! None of us is the same!
The amount of people who thinks this was caused by a trans girl in a girl's bathroom just proves that people saw "lgbtq" in the title and rushed to the comment section. And even if that was the case, Nex did not deserve to die in such a way, with it happening IN SCHOOL of all places. I don't care how you feel about the LGBTQ, that should not stop you from having basic human empathy.
Rest in Peace Nex
humans barely have empathy anymore. nice speech to just prove nothing!
She started the fight by pouring water on the girls. She probably overdosed either by accident or on purpose. Toxicology will tell the tale. Sadly this child had mental issues and was not helped by the adults in her life.
Wow. This is a disgusting comment
RIP Dagny Benedict. May she rest in peace.
At last, a truthful, respectful RIP. The `they them` people dehumanise the deceased with their pronoun nonsense.
@@barryledgister4496even if it’s the wishes of the individual? That’s so bizarre.
You're deadnaming her. It is one of the most disrespectful things you can do to a trans person.
@@GoddessFourWinds That's the name on her birth certificate, and the name all her loved ones knew her as for the majority of her life. People under the age of 18 can't legally change their names, "Nex" is just a nickname.
Also, she wasn't trans, and you just called her "her" because you subconsciously know it's nonsense.
Also, using a dead person for your political agenda is one of the most disrespectful things you can do to anyone who has passed away.

@@silvershamrock3NB
Maybe they should stop introducing these behaviours at such a young age. Let kids be kids and they’ll figure out if they like boys or girls…. Bullies have always existed. Look at the government, they still exist.
I love the stretch that it was a hate crime just because it was non-binary.
do words just fly over your head or do you choose not to listen?
This is tragic. However, violence against trans people is not an epidemic as they make it out to be overall. The laws and such are to protect women and children, not to be anti trans. Biology is a reality that needs to be prioritized to provide safety and fairness for the most people. Trans people need to be fully accepted in their biological spaces without opening the door and slippery slope of allowing anyone into any space based on subjective self ID.
Why do you think women are in danger near men? Do you think not allowing men in the women's bathroom is a magical barrier? You know they can just walk right in if they want to do harm, right?
@@ZechsMerquise73Like gun free zones not keeping guns out?
There is no such thing as non-binary.
your political beliefs do not change the fact that a literal teenager died from a hate crime. if that only thing that you can say is that non-binary people do not exist, i recommend that you don't have children when you grow up.
People born intersex beg to differ. Educate yourself.
I love how everyone in the comments is talking about how much of a problem bullying is, even though it turned out that the bully is the one who died.
the bullies never died??? the kid who died was the one who was being bullied.
@@realGHY Wrong, the one who died started the fight. And the girls she attacked were younger than her. You're clearly one of the people choosing to ignore the facts of this case.
@@noktumwhatever753 no, the one who died only threw water on the other girls.

I really want to feel bad, but I can tell when they aren't giving the full story and the quickness that they are willing to jump to conclusions and are often wrong makes me doubt what they are saying. They really want this to be a big story of hatred and bigotry and it shows in the reporting. It makes me to skeptical to believe anything they say right now. Still feel bad really just don't know if I should be sad or mad.
No matter what happened, I am sorry she died. How awful. That beautiful girl had worth and she was just a kid. My heart goes out to her and her friends and family. ❤
They/their*
Not a girl*
If you really feel sorry at least respect their gender identity.
Never let the truth get in the way of a good story nbc
All the girls went into the bathroom and a couple of girls was saying names to the other girl who then threw water on them because she did not like what the was saying about her. Then the fight started. To me it sounds like she assaulted the others first. Sorry she died but maybe the parents should have stepped in sooner to try and find out why she felt like she was something else .

NBC trying to push LGBT nonsense. Theres a recent body cam video of her after the fight. She seems perfectly fine, told the cop that she was doing the bullying and started the fight and how she didnt know them. Than she dies, so there has to be underlying issue for cause if death, have to see what the toxicology and audtopsy shows. And also hiw will NBC report on it...
As for her mom, she needs support for the lose of her child.
"They were" ? how much people died?
Christian monster...
They aren’t anti-LGBTQIA+ bills, they are anti mutilate children bills. She committed suicide Bec she was BULLIED. This is wild.
What a stupid story. Kids have been bullied forever. Adults need to raise better children.
It's frustraing that the news is trying to make this about LGBTQ legislation, when this is about a human being dying after 3 other human beings attacked her at school. Would it be any less traumatic to the deceased family & friends if this teen was straight? No, I think not.
the main issue is that this happens time and time again at a much higher rate towards minorities. of course, it would not make it any less traumatic if they were straight, but this death was a direct cause of discrimination
i swear living in US seems so exhausting....
I don't think this is a hate crime. I got in little fights all the time in school over stupid stuff.
a child LOST THEIR LIFE because of a 'little' fight
what are you even trying to compare here
Complete nonsense. Of course its sad she passed, but she is on body camera footage saying she slammed one of those girls heads into a paper towel dispenser. She was completely fine talking in the footage. The true cause of death needs to be released and i doubt we will see it at this point.
Not to mention that she and her friends are much older than the freshmens that she started the fight with, and she said herself that none of them knew each other or had ever even talked to one another.
They always tend to leave out the provoking things that “they” did to bring about their own misfortunes. Nope! Instead let’s cover it all up and make it a so called hate crime to push their stupid alphabet agenda.

@@Morgan-zi5wt SHES dead. SHE doesnt care anymore.
@Morgan-zi5wt Nex is a female, and nothing will change that. She needed people that would tell her the truth, not feed into her delusions & the works of the enemy on the youth of this world.
Poor little girl..may God Bless her soul.
Not a girl.
Nex started the fight by throwing water on them. Who knows if it was because of nonbinary???
There is a video of Nex describing the, situation and they say that they poured water on the girls because of transphobic comments
Truth is out there, police released body cam of the person Nex admitting to throwing water first and throwing a girl into a paper towel dispenser before the girls retaliated
What is the race of the other students involved?
Cops didn’t discuss the race of the students that were involved, they were a grade below her so they weren’t known to the person Nex
As a parent and Ally of a transgender child, now 28. I am appalled by what I've been reading in these comments. This was a 16-year-old child. Fluid meaning no gender being who they felt versus girl or boy. That is what non-binary is all about. Nex was bullied before the incident. This kid acted out but did not deserve three girls beating on one. Violence and hate against lgbtq people has been happening forever. It is a blessing that things are starting to change in our world for lgbtq people. 500 bills. This is encouraging the redrict. 😢Thanks for talking about this important subject.
As usual the system protects itself. Disgusting "journalism" on display here
SHE was walking around and talking just fine afterwards. Also, SHE started that fight, so let's stop saying she was just randomly attacked. This was very likely a case of her unaliving herself, which was mentioned but nobody wants to talk about that because it doesn't cause as much outrage. Let's stop spreading misinformation.
The hypocrisy of saying "let's stop spreading misinformation" while speculating that Nex's death was due to suicide, without ANYTHING to back it up, is WILD
I feel so bad for her. We need to end bullying now
Didn't die from bullying
@@brian8507 They were still bullied, regardless of the cause of death.
@oliviac2585 omg lol.. also they started the fight hahaha
.. they said so in their own text message. Oh I'm gonna enjoy the cope from the lgbt crew on this one
@@brian8507The same text you're referencing says those girls were bullying Nex preceding that altercation. I get you're a troll, but even pretending to derive joy from people mourning the death of a child is disgusting.
@@oliviac2585 drug overdose was the reason... also... those 3 girls she was fighting? Blacks
Tell me the other students are black without telling me they are black.
Black, white, Asian, doesn't matter, a child is DEAD. What is wrong with you?
🤔🤔🤔 WAIT, the parents didn't know their own child's name?!???
This would stop happening if we stopped encouraging delusions in children and punished everyone for crimes regardless of perceived historical slights. My proof: i wasn’t even explicit and you knew exactly what im talking about
Owasso High School has a bullying and hate problem. But of course schools rarely stop the bullies because usually the bullies parents are "somebody" within the community. It's always the same kids from elementary school all the way up to high school. Administration know it, the teachers know it and the parents know. I read it was 3 on 1 and I don't care if it wasn't the fight, those 3 girls should be held accountable and EXPELLED!
Actually it was Benedict and her three friends and the three younger girls in the bathroom. All were suspended by the school.
So if the parents did not know the preferred name of their child. That means that the school was keeping vital information away from parents.
Not trauma?! Even if the student had a medical condition, it was brought on by the fight!
They need to get an independent investigation. I don’t believe for a second the death is not connected to the fight. Three bullies inflicted this injury and should be arrested asap.
People who see themselves as victims or play the victim bully others...when others fight back they are labeled bullies...this happens all the time these days...wake up people...all these kids are/were victims.
