if the parents dont want a memorial,
fuck them
they are the ones who sent the kid there in the first place, they are the ones who fucked the kid up from the start, they are the ones who facilitated his further mind-rape at the institution, they are the ones who indirectly led this young man, their child, to suicide.
they may be his parents, but they are also his killers. they gave him the metaphorical rope, and the institution showed him how to tie it into a noose.
since when do murderers have a say in weather or not their victim gets a memorial?

Were I this kid, and I'm not even going to go into how close I came to being in his shoes, I would very much appreciate the memorial.

The kid who died would appreciate the fact noone forgot!

--- Quote from: ""Ursus"" ---I don't think it is so cut and dried. There ARE cases of kids who have died – whose names and stories have long entered the common lore – where you wouldn't be doing anyone a disservice by memorializing them since they are already well enough known. At that point, IMO, it does become a question of honoring their memory by acknowledging their suffering and what they must have gone through.
In circumstances of lesser renown, the quandary becomes more pronounced. Perhaps there the sensitive thing to do is to allow some time, both for the family's healing as well as for a change in the level of common knowledge.
Seems to me that the parents of kids who have died in these mind-rape mills, and who have come onto fornits, have been for the most part very interested in the world knowing about their kid's death. I've read a number of posts along the lines of "God forbid this should ever happen to anyone else," and "hopefully my story will prevent such a tragedy from ever happening again," etc. etc.
But it usually gets murky when you are discussing cases of SUICIDE. Why is this? People take this on personally as the ultimate stain of shame. Perhaps it is.

exactly, if it's suicide, it's "shameful" for the family. That's because it implicates them, in some way.
FUCK THE FAMILIES.
Whether they were duped and overall decent, or nasty lil buggers, it doesn't matter,as it's NOT ABOUT THEM. You don't release the name of a person when they die out of respect for the family when the family isn't aware of what happened, yet, and you don't want them to find out on the 6:00 news. This obviously isn't the case.
IT'S NOT ABOUT THE FAMILY, IT'S ABOUT THE VICTIM. This attitude that the parent's own their kid, into eternity, no less, and decide whether or not their kid can be honored is just sick. THEY'RE DEAD, they should, finnally, at long last, be treated with respect, honor, and with ackonwledgement of their humanity, not as "property" or extensions of their parents!
