[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There was a death in the freshman class at TJ yesterday.   I can’t link it, because it is still internal.  But it’s legit. Name has not been realeased  by the school, so I’m not posting it. But, the kids all know who it was. Parents, including me, have been hearing from kids all day.  I expect the school will send a letter to parents soon, and it will be all over the place by tomorrow.

Before you attack, take a moment to hug your kid and give the TJ kids time and space to grieve. [/quote]

I haven't seen this in the news.  Link?[/quote]

Sorry. No one is going to link to a minor’s obit for you.  That just seems wrong.   But the TJ Community has receive multiple emails. about the death, how the school is handling it with students, the memorial service, etc.   Memorial Service on Saturday, which is why the open house was cancelled. TJ freshman.  Check TJ Vents or the TJ Band FB page if you need proof. [/quote]

My son might know the kid from middle school but I can't  find any info.  It makes me wonder if the news organizations were pressured to not cover the death.[/quote]

I seriously doubt it. TJ was not able to pressure anyone to downplay the whole I was admitted to Standofrd and Harvard hoax.

There was an obit published.  TJ has been very open about providing information to the TJ community.  No one at the school is sweeping this under the rug at the school.  But the memorial service has not even be held yet.  Many adults associated with the school know the manner of death (we’re probably naive if we don’t think the kids do too).  But it’s way too soon to know the underlying cause.  I’m sure if it ends up with a direct tie to TJ, there will be reporting, just like with the Woodson suicide.  But in the meantime, responsible media would not sensationalize the death of a minor.  There have been 3 suicides at Chantilly in 5 years. Not reported in the news. I have a co-worker and a friend who each had a kid from FCPS commit suicide this year (one at a FCPS HS, one an FCPS grad at a VA state college).  The only news coverage was the obits.  This is a bigger problem and happen more often than you may realize. [/quote]
