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.

Eduardo Facha García - 1954
Not much is known about this maybe 10 year old boy who died at Linton Hall Military School. It is not known whether he was 9 or had reached his 10 years birthday. Not even the specific day of both his birth and death is known. His gravestone is in good condition. Maybe his family who happened to live far away from the school might have seen it.
The military boarding school was discontinued in 1980's. Today it is a dayschool.
It is unfortunately and a tragedy when such a young life is cut short.
May he find peace where he is now.
Que Dios te bendiga, Eduardo. Descansa en paz. as it is stated in a blog entry covering the school's history.

Garrett Rush Halsey - 2004
Just a few hours short of Christmas no less than six staff members from the Grafton School decided to try to restrain 13 year old Garrett Rush Halsey.
At the time of his death no legal consequence was given due to a local ruling in court.
However in 2008 almost 5 years later The Virginia Supreme Court overturned the ruling.
It was time for the family of young Mr. Halsey to gain some justice. If they did succeed we don't know but we hope that it would give them some peace.
A life should not end at age 13.
May he rest in peace.
