Mr. Simmons’ suicide rocked the entire community.
The story, already making waves online, instantly blew up again. The internet was split in two, with people arguing back and forth in every comment section.
Some started to reconsider everything after Mr. Simmons took his own life to prove his innocence.
“Maybe this is all just a misunderstanding. What if Mr. Simmons was innocent all along?”
“I’m starting to think the same. He never seemed like a bad guy to me. If he went as far as taking his own life just to clear his name, maybe he really didn’t do it.”
“But there were so many students at Westfield Academy who came forward. It wasn’t just Layna. I still think Mr. Simmons was scared and that’s why he jumped.”
“Now he’s dead. So young, too. What a waste.”
“But an eight-year-old? What possible reason would a kid have to frame her teacher? People always say kids don’t lie.”
“The students at that school are a handful, though. I wouldn’t take everything they say at face value.”
“Come on, how could an eight-year-old be that wicked? Do you really think a little girl would take off her own clothes just to frame a teacher?”
“You’d be surprised. Didn’t a similar thing happen just last month? Some student claimed her teacher hit her, got the poor woman fired, and then it turned out she made it up.”
“Kids these days see way too much. They’re getting harder to manage.”
“Tell me about it. Just last week, I saw a kid in our apartment complex tormenting a stray cat. I don’t know what’s going on with parents anymore.”
“The Stranz family is loaded. They wouldn’t joke about something that could ruin their reputation.”
“Exactly. With this much attention, the kid’s going to have issues growing up, no doubt…”
The online chatter was endless. Amid all these casual opinions, a man had lost his life.
People expressed regret and sympathy, but not one of them admitted they were part of what drove him to his death. Their words online were the final straw that broke Mr. Simmons.
A few days of online hate were all it took to destroy his will to live.
Scott was stunned when he learned Mr. Simmons had jumped to his death.
