When school isn’t a safe place, where can students turn? In this episode of Heart of the Case, we’re diving into the heartbreaking story of Jocelynn Rojo, an 11-year-old Texas student whose experiences with bullying, threats of ICE involvement, and a school system that failed to protect her led to an unimaginable tragedy.
We’ll explore what we know about Jocelynn’s school experience, the warning signs that were ignored, and how policies like David’s Law (Texas’ anti-cyberbullying legislation) play a role in cases like this. Plus, we’ll discuss how schools can do better—and what we, as a community, can do to support vulnerable students.
