The victims' families claim their sons went to school administration last week to ask them to address issues they were having with the suspect. However, the families say nothing happened.
The victims' families say administration 'failed' students leading up to deadly Montgomery High School stabbing in Santa Rosa.A somber cloud hovers over Montgomery High School -- with hugs by parents and school officials -- at the same time the bell would typically ring, just one day after a student was stabbed to death inside of a classroom.
"We really need to protect ourselves, we need to be safe, we need to be respectful to others, we need to be kind, we need to stay out of this, violence at school needs to end," said Kate Kearney, a student at a nearby middle school said.The family identified the student killed as 16-year-old Jayden Pienta, but this comes less than three years after the Santa Rosa City School Board unanimously voted to remove all school resource officers from the district.
"I think we need to listen to our youth. I think that our youth really want to be heard right now. I think that we need to offer them the space for them to share and to grieve and to hurt, and we as adults in the system really need to do a better job of listening to them," she said. "You guys had common knowledge that things were going on. You guys told me, three weeks ago, when you pulled me in for a meeting to let me know that my son was assaulted, three weeks ago, by this same individual, that you guys have first-hand knowledge that this was going to happen," say Maria Cervantes, the mother of Cruz, referring to the school administration. "And you didn't even stop it then.
"I want to make it very clear that the school and the school district failed my son! And they failed Jayden! And they failed the rest of the students that attend this school," Cervantes said.
