The story of Shea Shahan, 18, hits quite tighten to home, Beck said, given Shea shares so most in common with his daughter.
“My daughter has intelligent palsy and she suffered mind injuries during birth, and so did Shea,” Beck said. “My daughter was only in a sanatorium given she has seizures; Shea has seizures. My daughter only graduated from college and is only starting a new pursuit – Shea has a [mental] ability of an 8-year-old.”
“This whole thing started when we found out about a calm messages,” Keri began. “[It was] not by a school. One of my friends was picking adult their daughter … and she said, ‘I saw Shea in a bureau crying.’”
Keri suspicion her daughter competence have had a seizure and immediately left work and went to a school. She was frightened by a messages she saw instead.
“She is so irritating yet cute,” one of a messages reads. “I wish to do some-more than only lick her. we wish to rape and afterwards kill her. That will finally make certain she goes divided for good.”
On a Facebook page Keri combined called “Imwithshea,” she posted some of a other messages:
“When we review those calm messages we kind of only put my phone down and froze, and we only fundamentally cried. we cried in my mom’s arms,” Shea told Beck slowly. “And we didn’t know what to consider about it. It only kind of strike me hard, like given would some chairman wish to send another chairman these forms of texts? And afterwards we satisfied that maybe they are perplexing to get a greeting from me, and perplexing to make themselves feel improved for them, given maybe they did not have that form of regard from their parents, where they might need that. Or, we don’t know.”
Both Beck and Keri had been suppressing tears via a interview, yet after Shea’s unbelievably kind reaction, both were visibly crying.
When asked what she would contend to those essay her a messages, Shea said: “You might not like me, that’s okay. But we like myself. And for me fondness myself, and being a kind and sweet, amatory girl, it doesn’t matter if we don’t like me. I’m going to like we anyways, given that’s what we do.”
Still crying, Beck looked during Keri and remarked: “I was going to contend we have heartbreak in common, yet we have joy in common. Because we have unusual beings in a families, any of us.”
He afterwards asked what it is like to go by such an distress as a mother.
“Exhausting,” Keri responded. “This has indeed been going on for some time. It happened during her propagandize final year…Different school. Same town. Plano.”
When Beck remarked that Plano is famous as a “good” place, Keri resolved and pronounced that’s given she changed there. Many smaller schools don’t have as well-rounded programs for special preparation students, and she pronounced she didn’t caring if she had to work dual jobs if that would give her daughter “the best chance” after in life.
The dual proceeded to plead a school’s greeting to a bullying, with Beck reading a central matter from a propagandize observant it provides counselors and “all suitable actions.” Keri seemed reduction than unconditionally impressed.
When she initial found out about a violent messages by her crony – after Shea took a messages to a principal’s bureau in tears – she asked a propagandize if they were formulation on stuffing her in during some point.
The answer they gave her, “probably,” was a wrong answer, Keri said. Though a summary pronounced something along a lines of “go kill yourself,” they apparently pronounced they didn’t consider it was “illegal.”
Keri pronounced she has given done it transparent that if her daughter comes to a bureau for so most as a Kleenex, they are to let her know. She has also begun eating lunch with her daughter each day during school, to make certain she is as protected and happy as possible.
Keri combined that a propagandize has also unsuccessful to respond calls from a motivational speaker, Mike Smith, who offering to pronounce to a tyro body. Many of a students, however, have voiced their support for a bullied teen by wearing “I’m With Shea” t-shirts, and students during circuitously McKinney High School have begun wearing a shirts as well.
Beck resolved by observant he would still like to classify a convention for a students, yet it might have to be during a plcae other than a school.
“If we can only leave we with this,” he told Shea, “my daughter sent this email to you.”
“Dear Shea,” it reads. “Please know that you’re not alone. Please know that we know all a feelings of being dissapoint and sleepy of it all. we have seizures, too. we also know, though, that there are those surrounding we who are perplexing all they can to assistance you. My mom used to contend consider of this as using a course. You’re using and we keep going. There’s going to be lots of hills to run up, yet during a finish of a day it’s all going to be value it. God himself gave gave this to we given we are clever adequate to hoop it, and you’ll overcome this, too.”
