I don’t think the facts that appeared in a newspaper article warrant a suicide. Making people clean floors in kitchens (especially Mickey D’s - I can only imagine the floor spills!) and having a cheeseburger thrown isn’t exactly Alec Guinness’s taunting of John Mills in Tunes of Glory. Besides, this ridiculous claim that a 21 year old manager of a fast food restaurant “failed Danny” is putting a ludicrous amount of responsibility on a woman barely out of her teens herself.
Somewhere this kid’s parents failed him.
On Jan. 31, a six-person coroner’s jury found Branham was the principal cause of the teen’s suicide. She was charged the next day with second-degree involuntary manslaughter.
