The mother of Nex Benedict — the non-binary Oklahoma teen who was assaulted in a school bathroom and died the following day — is raising doubts about statements released by the local police. On Wednesday, the Owasso Police posted a statement to the department’s Facebook page, which appeared to defend the Owasso High School’s response to the February 7 incident. The statement also suggested that Nex’s death the following day was unrelated to the bathroom assault. In a text exchange with Popular Information, Sue Benedict, Nex’s mother, said she considered the Owasso Police statement a “big cover” and believed it was only released as “something to calm the people.”
I’m old enough when they were doing this to gay kids.
How many fucking kids need to die?
Pretty sure the goal is “all of them”.
it 100% is. we have to fight back because you can’t reason with genociders, they must be stopped by any means necessary
Nah, just the weird ones. (/s if that isn’t obvious)
Pretty sure that still happens to gay kids in Oklahoma too.
the police support the killing, that’s why. it’s a genocide
That’s gonna be the mirriam webster word of the year. Been getting werk lately.
They should have an independent autopsy.
The mother has already stated she intends to seek a fully independent investigation, with a second round with witnesses as well.
Really really sad & terrifying she is going to have to go out of pocket to not just seek justice for her child, but to simply get a straight answer on the record for cause of death.
Regardless of the COD, the assault should carry hate crime changes at a minimum.
Accountability needs to stop being optional.
Any public official who lies to the public willingly needs to be given the death penalty. All of the officials who refused to act on credible reports should be tried with negligent homicide.
