Normally the Swedish obituary blog is better received by the relatives. The mother of Taylor Mangham seems to be angry. They have asked me to let you decide if the text in the blog was too harsh against the family.
Here is the blog-entry: Taylor Mangham
Reddit TroubledTeens:
I sympathize with Taylor's mom, it must be incredibly difficult to lose a child. I left a comment encouraging her to get in touch with me so we can get the facts straight. Many people on facebook are wondering what happened to Taylor. It looks like the memorial site has been taken down. Thanks for posting this here, Oscar. You are doing good work, and I hope your efforts will help to clear the air of any confusion.
Oscar:
I have made a mistake. Taylor Mangham died at Liahona Academy instead of Diamond. It was James Richard Shirey, who died at Diamond.
I am sorry. It puts our Swedish partners in bad light.
Goddess of Justice:
I find this extremely hard to believe. Are these REAL athletes on DRA's teams or are they just having local teens posing along with the "higher level" students to lie to parents and their children?
They also claim to have a good athletic program with a no-cut policy with the full package of a college prep boarding school.
Their athletic website http://www.diamondranchacademy.com/athletics/ makes this look very real.
IT just makes me sick that they CAN EVEN LIE about enjoyable activities that come to interest many teenagers. ::puke::
