It's been just over a year since 17 people were killed in the school shooting. Now Parkland faces even more tragedy with two apparent suicides.
Suzanne Devine Clark places painted stones at a memorial outside Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., on Feb. 14, the one-year anniversary of the school shooting. By Lori Rozsa , Kayla Epstein and Kayla Epstein Embedded audience editor on the National desk Email Bio Follow Katie Mettler Katie Mettler Reporter covering breaking news and features Email Bio Follow March 25 at 7:20 PM PARKLAND, Fla. — The Parkland parents were insistent. They would not leave without a plan.
In addition to school officials and community leaders, there were six parents in attendance who lost their children in the Parkland massacre. And they were adamant that the group could not leave for the night without a clear plan of action. But in the South Florida community, as they have done so many times before, parent and student activists turned this new trauma into a call for change — immediately placing the two deaths in the context of the 17 other lives lost at Marjory Stoneman Douglas last year.
On Monday, the father of a first-grader killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School was discovered dead in an apparent suicide. The Columbia Protocols, a list of questions that help determine an individual’s suicide risk, is being circulated among parents. Some former students described interactions with school-provided grief counselors who seemed undertrained to deal with PTSD and with teachers who were insensitive to their initial trauma. “Put your grief in your pocket,” a teacher allegedly told one student.
Demitri Hoth, who graduated from Stoneman Douglas last year and now attends college in Miami, said he and his friends worked with the counselors who were made available at locations such as the school’s media center and library. His experience was positive, he said, and the counselors were “very professional.”
