Police claimed trauma "did not cause" the death of Nex, a trans teen beaten in Oklahoma. However, a search warrant states police suspect foul play. LGBTQ+ leaders call for the DOJ to get involved.
Chaya tweeted out a picture of a trans child with the text "Transgenderism must be eradicated" TODAY. This is a lynching, plain and simple, and based on the initial police response, it is condoned by the local "justice" system.
Absolutely disgusting. Conservatives just can't help themselves from showing what horrible POS they are.
And yeah, they'll try a George Floyd on this and try to say the cause of death was other than what it obviously was, but it won't work since the case has gotten national attention.
I just finished sending one to the White House. I feel like you, perhaps a little naive that it will help, but any effort to bring this tragedy to light has to help.
They should also investigate the medical providers who released Nex from their care and clearly missed that they had severe, life threatening injuries.
In Kentucky, I’ve watched at least two dozen cases of a student dying and a whole school system mourning vividly on social media. They inform families and students of the loss, the plan to provide added support and counseling for grief within the building, and sometimes details of a funeral or other service.
The absence of those signs of community feels important to me, suggesting indifference or worse.
And then there’s the absence of words from friends and classmates and teachers. I’m not used to a community going this quiet. I have a hard time imagining it happening on short notice, and an easy time wondering if there’s a much longer process of shutting down independent voices.
When I saw the video from a recent graduate, it amplified all my guesses: Not the first target, not the first target unhelped, not the first or second or third plea brushed off, not the first life gone too soon. And sexual assault not by a student.
I join every call for federal investigation, and I’ll want that no matter what the medical report shows. Every signal I can find suggests that children are being harmed, not on one day but over months, not in random impulse, but as part of an ongoing culture that allows and maybe actively promotes th3 harm
This story completely broke my heart. Not just as a trans person, but also as a parent. Schools should be safe places, free from the fear of bigotry and violence. This needs to change.
She is a vile, remorseless sociopath. Who does that?! The fact that this is permitted in public discourse is unbelievable to me. This person literally invests their time in encouraging others to harm children.
If this had been an injury on the football field, a witnessed head injury such as the witnessed one Nex had received, an ambulance would have been called. As a registered nurse, witnessed head injuries always warrants 24 hour observation eapecially for concussions. This was mishandled from the start. I would bring suits against the school board for stupid protocols that endangers my child then on the city's police force for their part and file a civil wrongful death against the witnessed 3 girls who attacked Nex.
jfc. This whole thing has shaken me to my core. An absolute travesty of justice in every way. It doesn't surprise me, it shouldn't surprise me, but every day there is some new horror that shatters me all over again. It keeps happening even though I know the facts: transphobes want to kill us and will absolutely enable each other to do so.
I am sorry, but I am very suspicious of this latest move by the police department. It would not surprise me that they find that all of the evidence that they find is clean of any incriminating information. Everything about this case stinks and the actions of the school officials and the police department should be investigated by the federal government now, not sometime later after evidence disappears and peoples memories suddenly become foggy.
I am sorry for being so jaded as to talk like this, but deep down, we all know this kind of thing has been going on for decades, and until it is called out into the open, then it will continue to happen.
Nex’s death is absolutely devastating and heartbreaking. 💔 In addition to holding school officials accountable and the Oklahoma Schools Superintendent who appointed Chaya to the School Library Board, we also need to draw a straight line from Nex’s death to all the trans bathroom bans that Republican Legislatures are pushing and passing across the country. Those bills send a very clear signal that it is permissible and even legal to attack people in bathrooms for even being *suspected* of being trans. Children like Nex will die because of this state-sponsored bullying. When will American society start connecting these dots? And when will the greater public care enough about trans lives to say enough is enough? It’s heartbreaking 💔
Nex story needs to be revealed and told in detail. This young person was murdered by hate directed at them from the highest level of the Oklahoma Dept. of Education. Indict the killers.
While I do not trust the FBI after my experiences with them, I do have to say they are tenacious. If they get on this case, they will stay with it until they bring down their prey.
The boys in blue are proving, once again, that they will neither serve nor protect unless under duress and a microscope. They had the rug lifted and the broom ready before Nex's body was cold, and just got called out before they could sweep. They can't be trusted to conduct a thorough investigation, after poisoning the well the way they did.
Murdered by bullies' fists and the staff's negligence, both, and now let down even in death by the long arm of the law. This case needs to be taken out of the local PD's hands.

What?! No words for that level of depravity from Chaya
This is a Hate Crime and should be investigated at the Federal level
Maybe it's naive, but I sent a comment to the White House asking them to make a statement and to bring in the DOJ to investigate. I don't know what else to do. This case gets worse by the day. In case anyone would like to do the same: https://www.whitehouse.gov/contact/ also sent a message to the OK governor: https://oklahoma.gov/governor/contact/leave-a-comment-or-opinion.html
I will do the same 💔

Thank you for the link I appreciate it
Done!

'Foul play' is an understatement. This is murder.

Absolutely. How can they just send Nex on their way after suffering head trauma???
who made the decision to hire Chaya? That's where the investigation should begin.

Nex, you didn't deserve this, and we believe you.

No apologies necessary 😞
