If they had, they may not have been so willing to torment her. If there were courses at school about sexting and sharing an image like that of her — people would have said this is child porn, this is against the law. And other kids would've come to her defence, or they might have confronted the ones who were victim-blaming and calling her names.

This is sad, but the man is living a 'what-if' dream, and he's being taken advantage of by the media.
The new curriculum would not have saved his daughter.

There are some details that he seems to be in denial about. The 'rape' is questionable. I don't know any details outside this article, but if there had been a rape, and they know who it was, and even have a picture, then why no charges?
I suspect that she was a willing participant.

But she was drunk? So were the boys. Did she rape them?
If she was willing, and did not regret it until the morning, then it's not rape.

There's more to this story than what the reported is letting on. The girl needed help that she never got, and a sex-ed class would not have changed anything.

I get that he lost his daughter. So he is looking for some explanation. But ya. This story has always stood out to me as one sided. When someone kills themselves, the ones left behind are grasping for a reason.

The story was off when I first saw it in the news though.
