I’m so so so glad she’s ok.
This shouldn’t have escalated the way it did.
The worst part of this is that it’s so freaking common.
Men, ask the women in your lives if they’ve ever worried about their safety when telling a man “no” or ending a relationship.

I agree, but that requires legislation.
If you want change, demand it.
Support candidates that share the same values as you.
If you can’t find someone, consider running for office.
Elections are coming up and we have a lot of candidates that need volunteers.
This isn’t exclusive to one school in Ohio, this is happening to kids all over the country.
Ms. Thomason & Mr. Rowling saw a problem and acted on it.
WE can do the same.
Elections matter.
Demand more from candidates & elected officials.

I’m not sure when it happened, but as a whole, society has lost the ability to show compassion towards each other.

These substations were vandalized by terrorists.
However, our government still refuses to call them who they are, DOMESTIC TERRORISTS.
Demand more from your representatives.
Julie Neumann used all of the tools available to victims of domestic abuse.
She notified family of the abuse, she sought help from a domestic violence advocacy group, she installed cameras in her home, she filed for a protective order, and for a divorce.
The system failed her.

We never know someone’s story.
This is a really great reminder to all of us.
We are all trying to get through this thing called life and sometimes a simple act of kindness and humanity can really make a difference.

Julie Neumann was a preschool teacher in Indiana, she was five months pregnant with a girl that she planned to name Caroline.
Julie was already the mother of two sons, who were 11 and 9 at the time of her murder.
On December 19, 2022, Charles Schmidtke shot Julie several times in front of her 9 year old son.
With a smile on his face, Charles look at her son and said, “I’m here for your mother. You boys need to call your father to come pick you up.”
Judge Jon Rohde stated, “petitioner has not shown, by a preponderance of the evidence, that a sex offense and harassment has occurred sufficient to justify the issuance of an order for protection.”
On October 21st, Julie filed for a protective order. Alleging that Charles had physically assaulted her, committed repeated acts of harassment and a sexual offense against her.
Julie provided screenshots of social media posts and messages written by Charles to support her claim.
