15 year old Jeremiah Flemming died as result of a restraint attempt conducted by the staff members at North Spring Behavioral Healthcare. That remains a fact.
All the other stuff is purely technical and legal. The courts did not find the employee responsible but still the boy died. we have to respect the courts and accept that what takes place in the legal system is not a question about justice but rather a kind of boxing match between lawyers like it was a soccer game.
In the end another fact that remains is that a mother lost her child. It was a terrible loss for her and we can only send our prayers to her.
May this poor boy find peace where he is now.

Paul Choy - 1992 (2017)
Paul Choy met his death in remote wilderness camp, where many felt he shouldn't have been in the first place.
Rite of passage was a tough camp. It is difficult to say what the plan was with this camp. In what way was the youth supposed to make benefit of their stay? It cannot be answered because there doesn't seem to be any plan.
The staff say that he became violent and they tried to restrain him and killed him in the process following the procedures known at that time. Others simply claimed that he was depressed.
He ceased to have a life outthere back in 1992. While his body stopped to work in 2017, he life as a functional living being stopped in 1992. He didn't get a chance to turn his life around.
May he rest in peace.
