“I watched her immediately go into a trauma response and today she still has that same state of mind. It’s hard for her everyday some days could be a little bit better depending on if she has friend in her class to associate herself with but for the most part it’s a hard thing for her. She’s is still struggling.
During the conversation she also explained how she first learned about the shocking news that going on at the school. “She woke up the morning of February 9, the day after the chat happened and she woke up hysterically crying in this trauma-like behavior.”

“Hatred and racism have no place in this community. And where this behavior becomes criminal, I will ensure that we act, and act with swift resolve, as we did here, to uncover it and bring it to the light of justice,” Gulluni said in his statement. “There is no question that the alleged behavior of these six juveniles is vile, cruel, and contemptible. Seeing it, and facing the reality that these thoughts, that this ugliness, can exist within middle school students, here, in this community, in 2024 is discouraging, unsettling, and deeply frustrating.”
