Season 2
At just 15 years old, Aubrey Wyatt's life came to a heartbreaking end, leaving behind a grieving family and a story that sparked a nationwide conversation. In this episode of Among Monsters, we carefully examine the documented facts surrounding Aubrey's story, the growing concerns about bullying and cyberbullying, and how social media transformed a personal tragedy into a viral national debate. Rather than repeating rumors, we focus on compassion, accountability, and the lasting impact that words can have. This is a powerful story about truth, empathy, and the importance of looking out for one another before it's too late.

1
00:00:02.080 --> 00:00:04.799
Some stories don't begin the way we expect them to.

2
00:00:05.839 --> 00:00:09.759
There are no flashing lights, no frantic voice on a

3
00:00:09.880 --> 00:00:13.599
nine one one call, no yellow tapes strung across the

4
00:00:13.640 --> 00:00:19.280
doorway while neighbors gather on a lawn. Some stories begin quietly.

5
00:00:20.280 --> 00:00:24.160
They begin in a hallway between classes, on the small

6
00:00:24.199 --> 00:00:28.199
glowing screen of a phone, inside a group chat that

7
00:00:28.280 --> 00:00:32.280
most of the people involved have already scrolled past and forgotten.

8
00:00:33.240 --> 00:00:36.960
They begin in a moment so small it seems impossible

9
00:00:37.079 --> 00:00:41.119
that anyone would ever remember it, until it becomes the

10
00:00:41.159 --> 00:00:46.880
only thing anyone remembers. Every year, millions of children walk

11
00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:51.000
through school doors, carrying weight that no one can see.

12
00:00:51.039 --> 00:00:54.759
Some are worried about a test, some are wondering whether

13
00:00:54.920 --> 00:00:58.560
they'll make the team. And some are walking and already

14
00:00:58.640 --> 00:01:02.039
bracing for the sound of laughter that will follow them

15
00:01:02.119 --> 00:01:05.560
down the hall, wondering whether today will be the day

16
00:01:05.760 --> 00:01:10.920
someone posts something cruel, or the day everyone decides quietly

17
00:01:11.239 --> 00:01:15.719
and all at once, to pretend they don't exist. Most

18
00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:18.519
of us can close our eyes and picture someone from

19
00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:22.359
our own school who was treated that way, someone we

20
00:01:22.560 --> 00:01:26.400
watched it happen to, someone we may have said nothing

21
00:01:26.480 --> 00:01:30.959
to defend. Very few of us ever imagine those ordinary,

22
00:01:31.319 --> 00:01:35.959
forgettable moments could grow into a conversation that swept across

23
00:01:36.040 --> 00:01:40.680
an entire country. But in the autumn of twenty twenty three,

24
00:01:40.719 --> 00:01:44.959
the death of fifteen year old Aubrey Wyatt did exactly that.

25
00:01:45.680 --> 00:01:51.840
Almost overnight, the Internet filled with videos, with accusations, with

26
00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:57.239
theories and names and demands. Millions of strangers became convinced

27
00:01:57.599 --> 00:02:02.200
they knew precisely what had happened and precisely who was

28
00:02:02.239 --> 00:02:05.680
to blame. Others warned that the story was moving far

29
00:02:05.760 --> 00:02:10.400
faster than the facts. Some called for justice, some called

30
00:02:10.439 --> 00:02:14.599
for patience, and some simply grieved for a teenager whose

31
00:02:14.639 --> 00:02:18.439
life had ended long before it should have. Tonight. We

32
00:02:18.479 --> 00:02:21.599
are not here to repeat rumors. We are not here

33
00:02:21.639 --> 00:02:25.319
to hand on verdicts through viral clips. We are here

34
00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:28.919
to look carefully at what is known, to separate what

35
00:02:29.080 --> 00:02:32.960
has been documented from what has only been imagined, and

36
00:02:33.039 --> 00:02:36.000
to remember the life of a young person whose story

37
00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:40.360
became far larger than she could ever have known. This

38
00:02:40.400 --> 00:02:44.360
is the story of Aubrey Wyatt. Welcome to among monsters.

39
00:02:44.960 --> 00:02:49.400
Every case we uncover reminds us of the same uncomfortable truth.

40
00:02:50.360 --> 00:02:54.960
Monsters rarely look the way we expect them to. Sometimes

41
00:02:55.000 --> 00:03:00.639
they arrived through violence, sometimes through deception, sometimes through a slow,

42
00:03:00.719 --> 00:03:04.159
patient cruelty that wears a person down, one small wound

43
00:03:04.199 --> 00:03:08.680
at a time. And sometimes the hardest part isn't recognizing

44
00:03:08.719 --> 00:03:11.960
the monster at all. The hardest part is watching how

45
00:03:12.039 --> 00:03:17.479
easily grief, anger, and misinformation breed themselves together until no

46
00:03:17.520 --> 00:03:20.879
one can tell them apart. Tonight's episode is different from

47
00:03:20.919 --> 00:03:24.439
many we tell here. This is not a homicide investigation.

48
00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:27.960
It is not the story of a killer stalking the dark.

49
00:03:28.439 --> 00:03:30.800
It is the story of a young girl whose deaths

50
00:03:30.840 --> 00:03:37.919
set off an emotional national reckoning about bullying, accountability, mental health,

51
00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:42.360
and the enormous power and the very real danger of

52
00:03:42.479 --> 00:03:46.479
social media. Because the story involves a minor, we are

53
00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:49.639
going to move carefully. We will hold tightly to what

54
00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:53.919
is documented, and we will name clearly the difference between

55
00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:57.520
what is known and what has only been claimed. Let's

56
00:03:57.560 --> 00:04:01.719
begin before millions of people knew her name, Aubrey was

57
00:04:01.759 --> 00:04:05.319
simply a teenager growing up in the American South. The

58
00:04:05.400 --> 00:04:08.800
people who loved her have described someone who wanted what

59
00:04:08.919 --> 00:04:12.120
most young people want to be close to the people

60
00:04:12.240 --> 00:04:17.480
she cared about to belong like anyone her age. She

61
00:04:17.639 --> 00:04:24.480
moved through the ordinary landscape of adolescence, friendships and school work, sports,

62
00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:29.879
and the endless, shifting social weather of being fifty. Anyone

63
00:04:29.920 --> 00:04:33.720
who has survived middle school or high school understands how

64
00:04:33.800 --> 00:04:39.920
quickly that weather can turn. Friends become strangers, Strangers become rumors.

65
00:04:40.759 --> 00:04:45.600
The smallest disagreement can become everyone else's business by lunchtime.

66
00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:50.639
But today's teenagers faced something no previous generation ever did.

67
00:04:51.439 --> 00:04:56.040
Years ago, the school they had an ending. When students

68
00:04:56.040 --> 00:05:00.560
went home, most of the arguments stayed behind, locked in

69
00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:04.439
the building until morning. There was a door you could close.

70
00:05:05.480 --> 00:05:09.360
That door is gone. Now. A disagreement in third period

71
00:05:09.519 --> 00:05:14.120
can become hundreds of comments before dinner. A rumor can

72
00:05:14.199 --> 00:05:17.399
circle an entire school in the time it takes to

73
00:05:17.560 --> 00:05:22.959
walk to the parking lot. An embarrassing moment can be captured, saved,

74
00:05:23.279 --> 00:05:27.240
and replayed forever by people who weren't even there. The

75
00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:32.759
Internet does not simply hold our memories. Sometimes it magnifies

76
00:05:32.800 --> 00:05:37.639
our pain and hands it back to us over and over,

77
00:05:38.199 --> 00:05:41.839
with no way to make it stop. Researchers have spent

78
00:05:42.040 --> 00:05:46.240
years studying what this does to young minds. The findings

79
00:05:46.319 --> 00:05:53.519
are sobering. Many young people describe anxiety, depression, loneliness, and

80
00:05:53.600 --> 00:05:58.240
a deep sense of isolation after sustained harassment online. There

81
00:05:58.279 --> 00:06:01.639
is also something particular about the age at which so

82
00:06:01.839 --> 00:06:06.199
much of this lands. Fifteen is a strange country. You

83
00:06:06.279 --> 00:06:09.680
are old enough to feel everything at full volume, and

84
00:06:09.759 --> 00:06:12.839
young enough that you have no map for any of it.

85
00:06:13.079 --> 00:06:17.560
A single unkind message can feel in that moment like

86
00:06:17.639 --> 00:06:21.160
a verdict on your entire worth. An adult can tell

87
00:06:21.199 --> 00:06:24.639
a teenager that it will pass, that none of this

88
00:06:24.720 --> 00:06:28.000
will matter in ten years, and the adult will even

89
00:06:28.040 --> 00:06:31.000
be right. But being right is not the same as

90
00:06:31.040 --> 00:06:35.000
being heard, and it rarely reaches a young person standing

91
00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:38.680
inside the storm. And yet no two stories are the same.

92
00:06:39.279 --> 00:06:43.319
No single event ever fully explains why a person reaches

93
00:06:43.360 --> 00:06:49.560
a breaking point. Mental health is extraordinarily complex, a weave

94
00:06:49.680 --> 00:06:56.600
of biology, circumstance, relationships, and private struggles that even the

95
00:06:56.680 --> 00:07:00.000
people closest to us cannot always see. That is where

96
00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:04.319
holding on to as we go when tragedy strikes. We

97
00:07:04.439 --> 00:07:08.439
longed for one clear answer, one clean line from cause

98
00:07:08.879 --> 00:07:14.040
to consequence. Life almost never offers one. By the summer

99
00:07:14.079 --> 00:07:18.000
of twenty twenty three, those close to Aubrey have said

100
00:07:18.079 --> 00:07:22.439
her life had grown harder. After her death, family members

101
00:07:22.480 --> 00:07:28.600
spoke publicly about their concerns. They described conflict, They described bullying.

102
00:07:29.519 --> 00:07:32.560
They described a daughter who was struggling in ways that

103
00:07:32.720 --> 00:07:36.680
frightened the people who loved her most. And when they spoke,

104
00:07:36.839 --> 00:07:42.079
the Internet answered. Within days, social media posts began naming

105
00:07:42.160 --> 00:07:48.560
specific students as responsible. Those accusations spread almost instantly, jumping

106
00:07:48.600 --> 00:07:52.720
from platform to platform, some of the videos climbing into

107
00:07:52.759 --> 00:07:56.000
the millions of views. Here we have to slow down,

108
00:07:56.639 --> 00:08:01.360
because while those allegations traveled far and fast, many of

109
00:08:01.399 --> 00:08:05.639
the specific claims attached to them were never established through

110
00:08:05.680 --> 00:08:11.920
official investigative findings. That distinction is not a technicality. It

111
00:08:12.000 --> 00:08:15.439
is the whole difference between what we know and what

112
00:08:15.480 --> 00:08:20.759
we have merely been told. In emotionally charged cases, rumor

113
00:08:20.920 --> 00:08:26.680
always outruns verification, and once a rumor has spread widely enough,

114
00:08:27.480 --> 00:08:32.759
correcting it becomes nearly impossible. The truth arrives late, out

115
00:08:32.759 --> 00:08:36.120
of breath, speaking to a room that has already made

116
00:08:36.200 --> 00:08:41.559
up its mind. Public officials and investigators repeatedly urged caution,

117
00:08:42.559 --> 00:08:46.519
asking people not to draw conclusion from social media alone.

118
00:08:47.159 --> 00:08:52.399
That tension between public outrage and documented evidence would come

119
00:08:52.440 --> 00:08:57.320
to define nearly every conversation about Aubrey's death. But underneath

120
00:08:57.360 --> 00:09:01.919
all the noise, one thing stayed steady. People across the

121
00:09:02.000 --> 00:09:07.799
country had started talking seriously about bullying. Parents wondered whether

122
00:09:07.879 --> 00:09:12.240
their own children were suffering in silence. Teachers thought about

123
00:09:12.279 --> 00:09:15.720
how quickly a small conflict could turn into something cruel.

124
00:09:16.240 --> 00:09:19.720
Students who had never told anyone what they'd endured began

125
00:09:20.440 --> 00:09:24.759
quietly to speak. Most of them had never met Aubrey,

126
00:09:25.399 --> 00:09:29.559
most never would, but they've recognized something in her story anyway,

127
00:09:30.440 --> 00:09:34.600
not always the details, the feeling, the ache of wanting

128
00:09:34.639 --> 00:09:38.279
to belong, of wondering whether anyone had noticed the weight

129
00:09:38.360 --> 00:09:42.360
that you were caring, of hoping against the evidence of

130
00:09:42.480 --> 00:09:46.240
the day, you just survived that tomorrow might be gentler.

131
00:09:46.759 --> 00:09:51.960
Something unusual happened after Aubrey died. The investigation continued the

132
00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:58.360
way investigations do, slowly, methodically, out of public view, But

133
00:09:58.480 --> 00:10:03.159
so did millions of strangers. Social media became its own courtroom,

134
00:10:03.639 --> 00:10:07.080
one with no rules of evidence and no one to object.

135
00:10:07.600 --> 00:10:12.879
Videos appeared, claiming to explain everything. Others promised hidden proof.

136
00:10:13.480 --> 00:10:17.879
Some creators insisted they knew exactly who was responsible. Some

137
00:10:17.960 --> 00:10:21.440
accused the school of a cover up. Some pointed their

138
00:10:21.480 --> 00:10:25.960
followers toward officials and told them to call to demand

139
00:10:26.440 --> 00:10:31.039
to act for a grieving family. This creates an almost

140
00:10:31.080 --> 00:10:35.919
impossible situation. The support of strangers can be a genuine comfort,

141
00:10:36.440 --> 00:10:39.639
a reminder that a child's life mattered to people far

142
00:10:39.720 --> 00:10:44.120
beyond her own town, but speculation reopens wounds as fast

143
00:10:44.120 --> 00:10:48.000
as sympathy can suit them. A family already living through

144
00:10:48.039 --> 00:10:51.159
the worst days of their life suddenly finds these days

145
00:10:51.200 --> 00:10:55.600
dissected by millions of people who never knew them. Names spread,

146
00:10:56.120 --> 00:11:02.639
photographs circulate, teenagers, many of them themselves, find their faces

147
00:11:02.720 --> 00:11:07.639
discussed by strangers around the world. The Internet rarely slows

148
00:11:07.679 --> 00:11:11.159
down long enough to ask the questions that matter. Whether

149
00:11:11.279 --> 00:11:15.720
the information has been verified, who first provided it, whether

150
00:11:15.840 --> 00:11:19.720
anyone in a position of authority has confirmed it, whether

151
00:11:19.840 --> 00:11:24.159
the accusations, if it happens to be wrong, could destroy

152
00:11:24.200 --> 00:11:28.000
an innocent person. Those questions tend to vanish beneath the

153
00:11:28.039 --> 00:11:31.039
heat of the moment, and that is exactly why this

154
00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:35.039
case still matters. Because it is never only about one

155
00:11:35.080 --> 00:11:38.440
girl in one town. It became a story about how

156
00:11:38.720 --> 00:11:44.039
modern tragedy unfolds now in public, in real time, with

157
00:11:44.279 --> 00:11:49.600
every phone and broadcast tower, every opinion, a piece of content,

158
00:11:50.320 --> 00:11:55.879
every rumor, gathering speed and truth, so often struggling just

159
00:11:55.919 --> 00:11:58.919
to keep up. When a young person dies, the first

160
00:11:59.000 --> 00:12:03.159
question is almost always the same why. It's a question

161
00:12:03.279 --> 00:12:07.480
that comes from love, from confusion, from a grief that

162
00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:10.279
needs somewhere to go. It is also one of the

163
00:12:10.320 --> 00:12:13.919
hardest questions a human being can ever try to answer.

164
00:12:14.320 --> 00:12:19.279
Mental health professionals have explained patiently and for a very

165
00:12:19.399 --> 00:12:23.360
long time that emotional pain is rarely the product of

166
00:12:23.399 --> 00:12:27.879
a single cause. It grows from a triangle of experiences

167
00:12:27.919 --> 00:12:34.960
and relationships, biology and stress, and circumstances unique to each person.

168
00:12:35.399 --> 00:12:39.120
There is seldom one thread you can pull to unravel

169
00:12:39.200 --> 00:12:42.039
the whole thing. That does not make the search for

170
00:12:42.159 --> 00:12:46.399
answers any less urgent. It only means the answers, when

171
00:12:46.440 --> 00:12:51.000
they come, are almost never simple. In Aubrey's case, her

172
00:12:51.080 --> 00:12:55.879
family shared publicly what they believed that bullying had played

173
00:12:55.919 --> 00:12:59.919
a significant role in her suffering. Their words landed heart,

174
00:13:00.639 --> 00:13:04.840
and they landed everywhere. Parents across the country heard them

175
00:13:04.879 --> 00:13:09.759
and recognized pieces of their own children. Not the exact circumstances,

176
00:13:10.360 --> 00:13:15.600
but the fear underneath the uncertainty, the late night conversations

177
00:13:15.600 --> 00:13:19.879
that end without resolution, the quiet dread that a child

178
00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:22.720
might be carrying something too heavy to say out loud.

179
00:13:23.399 --> 00:13:27.039
Those reactions are what lifted Aubrey's story out of one

180
00:13:27.120 --> 00:13:31.080
community and set it down in living rooms across the country.

181
00:13:31.679 --> 00:13:36.240
It stopped being a local tragedy. It became a national conversation.

182
00:13:37.240 --> 00:13:41.279
There's a rhyme children learn early. Sticks and stones may

183
00:13:41.360 --> 00:13:45.120
break my bones, but words will never hurt me. Most

184
00:13:45.159 --> 00:13:48.039
of us live long enough to learn it isn't true.

185
00:13:48.639 --> 00:13:52.440
Words leave scars that never show on the skin. A

186
00:13:52.519 --> 00:13:56.720
cruel comment spoken aloud last only a few seconds before

187
00:13:56.759 --> 00:14:00.519
the air swallows it. The same comment typed out online

188
00:14:00.559 --> 00:14:06.480
can last forever. It can be screenshotted, reposted, forwarded to

189
00:14:06.639 --> 00:14:09.960
hundreds of classmates before the person at the center of

190
00:14:10.000 --> 00:14:15.000
it even knows it exists. For a teenager today, social

191
00:14:15.039 --> 00:14:18.919
life doesn't end when the last bell rings. The phone

192
00:14:19.000 --> 00:14:23.720
keeps buzzing through the evening. The group chats run past midnight.

193
00:14:24.480 --> 00:14:28.840
The notifications pile up faster than anyone can dismiss them.

194
00:14:29.120 --> 00:14:33.960
Experts describe cyber bullying as fundamentally different from the bullying

195
00:14:34.159 --> 00:14:39.159
older generations. New and The difference is this, there is

196
00:14:39.240 --> 00:14:43.440
often nowhere to escape it. Home used to be a refugee,

197
00:14:43.720 --> 00:14:47.960
a place where the door closed and the world stayed outside. Now,

198
00:14:48.039 --> 00:14:51.240
the same device a young person uses to feel connected

199
00:14:51.240 --> 00:14:55.000
to their friends can become the very thing that keeps

200
00:14:55.039 --> 00:14:59.080
the cruelty with an arm's reach all night, every night.

201
00:14:59.440 --> 00:15:02.559
There is a particular cruelty in the performance of it.

202
00:15:03.399 --> 00:15:07.799
When something painful happens in person, memory softens it over

203
00:15:07.879 --> 00:15:12.039
time the edge is dull. You can tell yourself it

204
00:15:12.120 --> 00:15:16.200
wasn't as bad as it felt. But a screenshot never softens.

205
00:15:16.639 --> 00:15:19.639
It sits there exactly as sharp as the day it

206
00:15:19.759 --> 00:15:23.960
was made, ready to be pulled up and relived on command.

207
00:15:24.679 --> 00:15:27.679
A young person can be reminded of the worst moment

208
00:15:27.720 --> 00:15:30.960
of their week at any hour by anyone with a

209
00:15:31.039 --> 00:15:34.759
single tap. There is no forgetting when the record refuses

210
00:15:34.799 --> 00:15:39.879
to fade. That doesn't mean every disagreement between teenagers is bullying.

211
00:15:40.600 --> 00:15:45.960
Conflict is part of growing up. Friendships shift, feelings get

212
00:15:46.039 --> 00:15:50.799
hurt and most of the time mended, but repeated harassment,

213
00:15:51.200 --> 00:15:57.480
deliberate humiliation, targeted exclusion, and steady messages that you are

214
00:15:57.559 --> 00:16:01.240
unwanted can carve wounds that don't close on their own.

215
00:16:01.879 --> 00:16:05.840
Those realities have pushed schools and counselors and families across

216
00:16:05.879 --> 00:16:10.600
the country to rethink something fundamental, how they respond and

217
00:16:10.720 --> 00:16:14.879
how quickly when a young person finally works up the

218
00:16:14.960 --> 00:16:19.320
courage to ask for help. As Aubrey's stories spread, most

219
00:16:19.360 --> 00:16:22.799
people met it the way we meet nearly everything now,

220
00:16:23.440 --> 00:16:27.159
in a short video on a small screen in the

221
00:16:27.200 --> 00:16:30.840
span of a minute. Many of those videos were made

222
00:16:30.879 --> 00:16:34.240
with real care. Many of those videos were made with

223
00:16:34.399 --> 00:16:39.480
real care. The creators urged kindness. They asked their viewers

224
00:16:39.519 --> 00:16:43.039
to check on the people they loved. They shared resources

225
00:16:43.039 --> 00:16:46.720
and phone numbers and reminders that no one is as

226
00:16:46.759 --> 00:16:50.360
alone as they feel. But others took a different path.

227
00:16:50.960 --> 00:16:56.240
They presented guesses as certainties. They named individuals, They claimed

228
00:16:56.279 --> 00:17:01.519
inside knowledge. They stitched scattered fragments into stories that no

229
00:17:01.559 --> 00:17:04.880
one had confirmed and no one could. This is one

230
00:17:04.880 --> 00:17:09.480
of the defining problems of our age. Information travels instantly,

231
00:17:10.319 --> 00:17:15.519
verification takes time, and when emotion is running high, patience

232
00:17:15.680 --> 00:17:20.039
is the first thing to disappear. A law enforcement investigation

233
00:17:20.200 --> 00:17:26.119
follows evidence, It moves slowly on purpose. Social media follows engagement,

234
00:17:26.680 --> 00:17:32.799
and engagement rewards speed outrage, and certainty, the three things

235
00:17:32.880 --> 00:17:36.279
that are hardest to trust. The gap doesn't always come

236
00:17:36.319 --> 00:17:41.240
from bad intentions. Most people genuinely wanted justice for Aubrey.

237
00:17:41.960 --> 00:17:47.240
Most creators sincerely believed they were helping. But sincerely is

238
00:17:47.359 --> 00:17:52.119
not the same thing as accuracy. Good intentions have never

239
00:17:52.240 --> 00:17:56.440
once guaranteed the truth, and for a family already carrying

240
00:17:56.480 --> 00:18:02.000
an unbearable loss, misinformation doesn't easy the pain. It deepens it,

241
00:18:02.519 --> 00:18:07.200
and then it repeats as words spread. Griefs spread with it,

242
00:18:07.880 --> 00:18:13.799
first through the town, them far beyond it. Students, parents, neighbors,

243
00:18:14.160 --> 00:18:17.839
and people who had once met Aubrey offered their condolences.

244
00:18:18.599 --> 00:18:22.319
Many of them spoke about the same thing, the importance

245
00:18:22.319 --> 00:18:25.079
of paying attention to the young people in their lives.

246
00:18:25.640 --> 00:18:28.920
Teachers admitted how hard it can be to recognize emotional

247
00:18:28.960 --> 00:18:32.960
distress in a classroom of thirty faces, when a struggling

248
00:18:33.000 --> 00:18:37.319
student may spend all day working to look fine. Counselors

249
00:18:37.440 --> 00:18:41.440
reminded parents that children often hide their pain not because

250
00:18:41.480 --> 00:18:46.880
they don't need help, but because they're afraid of being judged, misunderstood,

251
00:18:47.519 --> 00:18:49.920
or seen as a burden to the people they loved.

252
00:18:50.000 --> 00:18:55.119
Most those conversations did not stay in one place. Across

253
00:18:55.200 --> 00:18:59.240
the country, schools pulled out their anti bullying policies and

254
00:18:59.319 --> 00:19:02.799
looked at them again. Families asked new questions at the

255
00:19:02.839 --> 00:19:06.799
dinner table. Parents wondered whether they had missed something in

256
00:19:06.839 --> 00:19:11.000
their son or daughter who had grown quieter than they remembered,

257
00:19:11.720 --> 00:19:15.279
and students who had stayed silent about their own experiences

258
00:19:15.400 --> 00:19:21.160
began finally to speak. In that sense, Aubrey's story pride

259
00:19:21.200 --> 00:19:26.599
open conversations that a great many communities had avoided for

260
00:19:26.720 --> 00:19:31.519
far too long. One of the hardest responsibilities in journalism

261
00:19:31.759 --> 00:19:34.759
and in the kind of storytelling we do here is

262
00:19:34.839 --> 00:19:38.880
admitting the boundary of what we actually know. That admission

263
00:19:38.960 --> 00:19:43.240
can feel unsatisfying. We are built to want to shape

264
00:19:43.240 --> 00:19:48.319
to things a beginning, a middle, and an end. A

265
00:19:48.480 --> 00:19:54.599
reason that fits real life rarely cooperates. In Aubrey's case.

266
00:19:55.440 --> 00:20:00.039
Many claims circulated after her death. Some were repeated so

267
00:20:00.119 --> 00:20:03.240
often by so many people that they began to sound

268
00:20:03.359 --> 00:20:08.559
like established fact. But reputation is not proof. A thing

269
00:20:08.640 --> 00:20:12.119
does not become true because a million people said it quickly.

270
00:20:12.759 --> 00:20:16.440
When you're looking at any tragedy, and especially one involving

271
00:20:16.480 --> 00:20:20.960
a child, the discipline is the same you separate what

272
00:20:21.240 --> 00:20:25.599
has been verified from what has only been assumed, not

273
00:20:25.640 --> 00:20:29.680
to diminish anyone's grief. Grief is real, regardless of what

274
00:20:29.720 --> 00:20:34.519
the investigation concludes. You do it because the truth deserves protecting.

275
00:20:35.279 --> 00:20:39.519
The truth honors everyone involved. It protects the integrity of

276
00:20:39.519 --> 00:20:44.400
the investigation. It protects innocent people from accusations that could

277
00:20:44.440 --> 00:20:47.640
follow them for the rest of their lives. And in

278
00:20:47.680 --> 00:20:51.559
the end, it gives greater weight, not less, to the

279
00:20:51.640 --> 00:20:55.200
facts that genuinely are known. There is a real cost

280
00:20:55.279 --> 00:20:59.359
to getting this wrong, and it is not abstract. When

281
00:20:59.400 --> 00:21:03.000
a name spreads across the Internet, attached to an accusation

282
00:21:03.319 --> 00:21:07.200
that was never proven, that name belongs to a real person,

283
00:21:07.839 --> 00:21:11.279
often a teenager, sometimes one who had nothing to do

284
00:21:11.359 --> 00:21:14.759
with anything. They do not get to file a correction,

285
00:21:15.440 --> 00:21:18.599
They do not get an apology. For millions of strangers

286
00:21:19.200 --> 00:21:23.400
they carry it. It follows them into new schools, new towns,

287
00:21:23.759 --> 00:21:29.160
future jobs, search results that never quite disappear. In our

288
00:21:29.279 --> 00:21:32.640
hunger to hold someone accountable, we can create new harm

289
00:21:32.759 --> 00:21:35.720
faster than anyone can measure it, and we can do

290
00:21:35.799 --> 00:21:40.200
it to the wrong person entirely. As Aubrey's story kept

291
00:21:40.279 --> 00:21:45.119
unfolding in public, those lines blurred. What emerged was a

292
00:21:45.160 --> 00:21:51.640
complicated triangle of mourning and advocacy, speculation, and anger. Every

293
00:21:51.720 --> 00:21:55.160
strand of it was understandable, but they were not all

294
00:21:55.200 --> 00:21:59.079
supported by the same evidence, and pretending otherwise helped to

295
00:21:59.119 --> 00:22:02.440
no one. One of the hardest truths about emotional pain

296
00:22:02.559 --> 00:22:05.599
is how well it hides in plain sight. A person

297
00:22:05.680 --> 00:22:09.559
can laugh with friends in the morning, sit through class

298
00:22:09.599 --> 00:22:13.680
in the afternoon, smile for a photograph, and still be

299
00:22:13.759 --> 00:22:19.640
carrying something that no one around them has any ideas there. Teenagers, especially,

300
00:22:19.680 --> 00:22:24.200
are moving through one of the most emotionally intricate stretches

301
00:22:24.319 --> 00:22:27.599
of a human life. They're figuring out who they are,

302
00:22:28.279 --> 00:22:32.759
learning how relationships work and how they break, trying to

303
00:22:32.759 --> 00:22:35.119
fit in and stand out at the very same time.

304
00:22:35.559 --> 00:22:37.920
And they're doing all of it while their brains are

305
00:22:37.960 --> 00:22:43.880
still under construction, particularly the regions responsible for emotional regulation,

306
00:22:44.400 --> 00:22:48.480
impulse control, and the ability to imagine a future beyond

307
00:22:48.519 --> 00:22:52.519
this exact, painful moment. That does not mean a teenager

308
00:22:52.599 --> 00:22:56.880
can't make thoughtful choices. It means that emotion can flood

309
00:22:56.880 --> 00:23:01.119
a young person in a way adults sometimes forget, having

310
00:23:01.200 --> 00:23:05.960
safely reached the far shore when rejection or loneliness or

311
00:23:06.039 --> 00:23:10.960
humiliation arrives. It doesn't feel like one bad chapter. It

312
00:23:11.039 --> 00:23:14.759
feels like the whole story. Adults tend to look back

313
00:23:14.799 --> 00:23:18.440
on high school and remember the games, the dances, a

314
00:23:18.480 --> 00:23:22.680
teacher who believed in them. Teenagers are living it right now,

315
00:23:23.000 --> 00:23:26.720
in real time, with none of the perspective that distance

316
00:23:27.319 --> 00:23:32.039
eventually provides to them. The social world is in background.

317
00:23:32.440 --> 00:23:36.920
It's immediate, intense, and deeply personal, and a young person

318
00:23:37.039 --> 00:23:40.359
in pain is often working very hard to make sure

319
00:23:40.400 --> 00:23:44.279
you never see it, not out of dishonesty, but out

320
00:23:44.319 --> 00:23:48.680
of the kind of perspectiveness of themselves and sometimes of

321
00:23:48.759 --> 00:23:52.359
the people they love. They perform the version of themselves

322
00:23:52.440 --> 00:23:57.440
they think as expected. They answer fine, because fine ends

323
00:23:57.519 --> 00:24:00.839
the conversation before it can turn into something they don't

324
00:24:00.880 --> 00:24:04.400
have the words for. Many of them believe deep down

325
00:24:04.720 --> 00:24:08.039
that their struggle is a flaw to be hidden, rather

326
00:24:08.119 --> 00:24:11.200
than a burden that could be shared. That belief is

327
00:24:11.240 --> 00:24:13.680
one of the most dangerous parts of the whole thing,

328
00:24:14.240 --> 00:24:17.200
and it is one of the hardest to reach. For some,

329
00:24:17.759 --> 00:24:23.039
the people around them, a parent, a friend, a counselor

330
00:24:23.079 --> 00:24:27.400
a coach helped carry them through the hardest seasons. Others

331
00:24:27.480 --> 00:24:32.440
struggle in silence, certain that no one would understand. That's

332
00:24:32.440 --> 00:24:37.000
why so many mental health professionals return again and again

333
00:24:37.599 --> 00:24:40.200
to the same idea. The goal is to build a

334
00:24:40.240 --> 00:24:43.559
world where a young person feels safe asking for help,

335
00:24:44.039 --> 00:24:47.160
not only in the middle of a crisis, long before

336
00:24:47.200 --> 00:24:51.160
one ever begins. After Aubrey died, people who had never

337
00:24:51.279 --> 00:24:56.160
met her felt inexplicably tied to her story. Parents pictured

338
00:24:56.200 --> 00:24:59.680
their own daughters, Teachers thought about the quiet student in

339
00:24:59.680 --> 00:25:04.119
the b they'd been meaning to check on. Classmates replayed

340
00:25:04.200 --> 00:25:07.559
words they wished they had said or wished they hadn't,

341
00:25:08.039 --> 00:25:11.240
and many strangers were pulled back into their own past,

342
00:25:11.839 --> 00:25:16.000
some remembering being the target of cruelty, others admitting with

343
00:25:16.119 --> 00:25:19.720
a discomfort that they waited years to arrive that they

344
00:25:19.759 --> 00:25:22.920
had once been part of it without understanding what it cost.

345
00:25:23.440 --> 00:25:27.680
Grief has a way of forcing reflection. Communities begin asking

346
00:25:27.720 --> 00:25:31.480
the difficult questions, whether something could have been done differently,

347
00:25:31.920 --> 00:25:35.680
whether the warning signs were there and simply missed, Whether

348
00:25:35.759 --> 00:25:39.559
someone needed help and never received it. Those questions rarely

349
00:25:39.640 --> 00:25:43.319
come with clean answers, but asking them is not pointless.

350
00:25:43.839 --> 00:25:48.680
Asking them is often where change actually begins. Across the country.

351
00:25:49.160 --> 00:25:54.000
Schools have kept working on bullying prevention. Districts have expanded

352
00:25:54.039 --> 00:25:57.680
access to counselors. Parents are being encouraged to keep the

353
00:25:57.759 --> 00:26:01.519
conversations with their kids open and on going, not only

354
00:26:01.559 --> 00:26:06.680
about grades and games, but about friendships and feelings and

355
00:26:06.720 --> 00:26:10.480
the state of a young heart. Those conversations matter for

356
00:26:10.519 --> 00:26:15.319
a single reason. Emotional pain grows best in silence. Compassion

357
00:26:15.400 --> 00:26:19.559
grows through connection. Cases like this one presents a genuine

358
00:26:19.640 --> 00:26:25.000
challenge to anyone who tells stories for a living Journalists, filmmakers,

359
00:26:25.440 --> 00:26:30.119
and yes, podcasters. There is a line to walk, and

360
00:26:30.200 --> 00:26:33.400
it is narrow. You want to tell an important story

361
00:26:33.440 --> 00:26:37.440
without causing new harm. You want to acknowledge the public's

362
00:26:37.519 --> 00:26:42.319
concern without repeating accusations that were never proven. You want

363
00:26:42.359 --> 00:26:45.920
to honor a person's life without flattening them into nothing

364
00:26:46.000 --> 00:26:49.839
more than the circumstances of their death. None of those

365
00:26:49.920 --> 00:26:53.920
come with perfect solutions, but all of them deserve to

366
00:26:53.920 --> 00:26:58.319
be taken seriously. Our goal here, at among monsters, has

367
00:26:58.440 --> 00:27:02.759
never been to simply regard count the difficult things. It's

368
00:27:02.839 --> 00:27:07.599
to look at them responsibly. Sometimes that means saying plainly

369
00:27:08.200 --> 00:27:12.680
what isn't known. Sometimes it means resisting the pull toward

370
00:27:12.799 --> 00:27:17.720
a dramatic conclusion the evidence doesn't actually support, and that

371
00:27:17.799 --> 00:27:21.680
poll is strong because a clean ending is what an

372
00:27:21.759 --> 00:27:26.599
audience wants. There's a temptation in a story like this

373
00:27:27.160 --> 00:27:30.680
to reach for the most dramatic version, to stand down

374
00:27:30.720 --> 00:27:33.920
the messy parts until the whole thing snaps neatly shut.

375
00:27:34.960 --> 00:27:39.799
That version always performs better, it travels farther, it feels

376
00:27:39.839 --> 00:27:44.319
more satisfying to hear, and it is almost always at

377
00:27:44.400 --> 00:27:49.960
least partly false. The honest version is slower and less certain,

378
00:27:50.519 --> 00:27:54.519
and it asks more of the person listening. We think

379
00:27:54.640 --> 00:27:59.920
that's a trade worth making. In today's world, uncertainty is unpop.

380
00:28:00.880 --> 00:28:04.720
People want the answer, They want it fast, and they

381
00:28:04.759 --> 00:28:09.759
want it definite. But responsible storytelling sometimes requires three of

382
00:28:09.839 --> 00:28:14.279
the most difficult words there are. We don't know. Those

383
00:28:14.359 --> 00:28:19.200
words won't satisfy anyone's curiosity. What they protect is worth

384
00:28:19.279 --> 00:28:24.519
far more than curiosity. Aubrey Wyatt's name became known to millions,

385
00:28:25.079 --> 00:28:28.599
but there is countless young people whose struggles will never

386
00:28:28.720 --> 00:28:33.680
reach a single headline. Every single day, a school counselor

387
00:28:33.720 --> 00:28:37.480
sits across from a student carrying an invisible weight. A

388
00:28:37.559 --> 00:28:41.240
teacher notices a kid growing quieter than they used to be.

389
00:28:41.960 --> 00:28:45.880
A parent lies awake, wondering why they're once outgoing child

390
00:28:46.000 --> 00:28:49.160
now spends so many hours alone behind a closed door.

391
00:28:50.119 --> 00:28:53.599
A friend's senses that something has changed and has no

392
00:28:53.680 --> 00:28:58.680
idea what to say. Most of those stories never become documentaries,

393
00:28:59.359 --> 00:29:03.319
most never trend, and they are not one ounce less

394
00:29:03.359 --> 00:29:07.480
important than the ones that do. The people who study

395
00:29:07.559 --> 00:29:12.119
this urge families to watch for the shifts, a lasting

396
00:29:12.240 --> 00:29:17.759
change in behavior of withdraw that doesn't lift, expressions of hopelessness,

397
00:29:18.319 --> 00:29:22.079
comments that suggest a young person feels trapped or alone,

398
00:29:22.640 --> 00:29:25.839
or like a burden others would be better off without.

399
00:29:26.480 --> 00:29:30.000
None of those signs on their own guarantees a young

400
00:29:30.079 --> 00:29:33.920
person as in crisis. What they do is open a door,

401
00:29:34.559 --> 00:29:39.000
an invitation to a conversation that might otherwise never happen.

402
00:29:39.799 --> 00:29:42.920
Sometimes the most powerful thing an adult can offer a

403
00:29:42.960 --> 00:29:47.319
young person is a single honest question, not how is

404
00:29:47.359 --> 00:29:52.160
your day tossed over a shoulder, but something slower, how

405
00:29:52.200 --> 00:29:57.039
are you really? And then the hard part, the listening,

406
00:29:57.720 --> 00:30:01.920
Not listening in order to respond, not listening to fix

407
00:30:02.000 --> 00:30:07.079
everything before the sentence is even finished, Just listening, because

408
00:30:07.359 --> 00:30:10.880
feeling truly heard can make a difference. We may never

409
00:30:11.000 --> 00:30:15.960
fully measure. Even now, Aubrey's story is still being talked about.

410
00:30:16.480 --> 00:30:20.319
People are still searching for answers, Families are still advocating

411
00:30:20.400 --> 00:30:25.240
for stronger protections against bullying, educators are still refining the

412
00:30:25.319 --> 00:30:29.160
programs meant to make schools safer places to grow up,

413
00:30:29.599 --> 00:30:33.039
and mental health professionals are still repeating the same essential

414
00:30:33.119 --> 00:30:38.440
reminder that prevention almost always begins long before tragedy arrives.

415
00:30:39.079 --> 00:30:44.359
No single policy, no single policy, will ever erase bullying.

416
00:30:44.880 --> 00:30:49.720
No single program will prevent every crisis. Anyone who promises

417
00:30:49.799 --> 00:30:54.839
otherwise is selling something. But every conversation counts, every act

418
00:30:54.880 --> 00:30:59.400
of kindness counts. Every trusted adult who chooses, in an

419
00:30:59.519 --> 00:31:04.160
ordinary moment to actually listen, that counts too. We like

420
00:31:04.240 --> 00:31:08.759
to imagine that changing the world takes something enormous, More

421
00:31:08.799 --> 00:31:13.039
often it begins with something small. A classmate who chooses

422
00:31:13.079 --> 00:31:17.039
to include rather than exclude, a teacher who catches the

423
00:31:17.079 --> 00:31:21.279
sadness behind a rehearsed smile, a parent who sets the

424
00:31:21.319 --> 00:31:24.559
phone face down and gives a child their whole attention.

425
00:31:25.079 --> 00:31:28.720
Those moments almost never make the news. They may matter

426
00:31:28.839 --> 00:31:32.440
more than anything that does. Every story we tell here

427
00:31:32.720 --> 00:31:37.599
eventually reaches the place where the investigation ends. The evidence

428
00:31:37.640 --> 00:31:41.880
has been gathered, the reports have been filed, The headlines

429
00:31:41.960 --> 00:31:45.440
start to fade, the way headlines always do. But for

430
00:31:45.480 --> 00:31:50.279
a family, there is no final chapter. Life simply continues,

431
00:31:50.720 --> 00:31:54.559
which is its own kind of cruelty. Birthdays still arrive,

432
00:31:55.279 --> 00:32:00.799
holidays still come, graduations still happen. For other people, those children,

433
00:32:01.119 --> 00:32:07.519
photographs slowly transformed from casual snapshots into sacred objects, proof

434
00:32:07.559 --> 00:32:11.559
of moments that can never be lived again. For Aubrey's family,

435
00:32:12.000 --> 00:32:15.160
the loss of a daughter cannot be measured in articles

436
00:32:15.480 --> 00:32:19.000
or post or view counts. It is measured in a

437
00:32:19.160 --> 00:32:23.559
quiet no one else sees, an empty chair at the table,

438
00:32:23.960 --> 00:32:26.519
a bedroom that no one has the heart to change,

439
00:32:27.200 --> 00:32:31.799
a future imagined in a thousand small ways and now unrealized.

440
00:32:32.279 --> 00:32:35.440
Those are the realities that stay long after the public

441
00:32:35.480 --> 00:32:39.480
has moved on to the next story. As the months passed,

442
00:32:40.039 --> 00:32:44.319
the conversation continued. Some of it stayed focused on prevention,

443
00:32:45.079 --> 00:32:49.000
some of it argued over responsibility, and much of it

444
00:32:49.119 --> 00:32:53.400
was simply people strangers, reaching towards a family and pain

445
00:32:53.599 --> 00:32:58.359
and offering the only thing they had sympathy. Opinions differed.

446
00:32:58.960 --> 00:33:02.720
One thing never did a young life ended far too soon,

447
00:33:03.400 --> 00:33:07.599
and that truth deserves compassion long before it deserves commentary.

448
00:33:08.079 --> 00:33:12.000
Every difficult story leaves us with a choice. We can

449
00:33:12.039 --> 00:33:15.920
consume it as one more headline and move on, or

450
00:33:15.960 --> 00:33:19.400
we can ask what it's trying to teach us. Maybe

451
00:33:19.440 --> 00:33:23.359
the first lesson is the oldest one. Words matter. What

452
00:33:23.400 --> 00:33:26.640
we say and what we choose not to say, can

453
00:33:26.759 --> 00:33:31.319
echo far longer than we ever intend. Kindness is not weakness.

454
00:33:31.720 --> 00:33:35.759
Empathy is not optional, and for a young person, even

455
00:33:35.799 --> 00:33:39.480
a small gesture of inclusion can land with a force.

456
00:33:40.119 --> 00:33:44.160
The people giving it will never know. The second lesson

457
00:33:44.240 --> 00:33:49.119
is about listening. Sometimes people don't need us to solve anything.

458
00:33:49.519 --> 00:33:53.039
They need to be heard without being judged. None of us,

459
00:33:53.559 --> 00:33:59.720
not parents, not teachers, not coaches, not friends, can reach

460
00:33:59.720 --> 00:34:03.240
another person's mind, but every one of us can help

461
00:34:03.240 --> 00:34:06.559
build a space. We're asking for help feel safe instead

462
00:34:06.599 --> 00:34:09.880
of shameful. And there's a final lesson for all of

463
00:34:09.960 --> 00:34:12.800
us who now live so much of our lives online.

464
00:34:13.159 --> 00:34:17.280
Slow down, ask where a claim came from, verify before

465
00:34:17.320 --> 00:34:21.159
you share. Resist the easy certainty of a viral post,

466
00:34:21.639 --> 00:34:25.199
because a real life is always more complicated than a

467
00:34:25.280 --> 00:34:29.360
sixty second video can hold real families deserve better than

468
00:34:29.519 --> 00:34:33.039
rumor dressed up as fact. When a person becomes the

469
00:34:33.079 --> 00:34:37.880
subject of national attention, something strange and unfair happens. Their

470
00:34:37.920 --> 00:34:41.079
whole identity begins to shrink down to the worst thing

471
00:34:41.199 --> 00:34:44.440
that ever happened to them. But Aubrey Wyatt was more

472
00:34:44.480 --> 00:34:48.119
than a headline, more than a case, more than a

473
00:34:48.199 --> 00:34:51.840
lesson in an episode like this one. She was a daughter,

474
00:34:52.599 --> 00:34:58.000
a friend, a student, someone whose ordinary, irreplaceable life meant

475
00:34:58.039 --> 00:35:01.360
everything to the people who loved her. That's worth holding

476
00:35:01.360 --> 00:35:05.119
on to not because it answers any of the open questions,

477
00:35:05.360 --> 00:35:08.599
but because it restores the one thing that so easily

478
00:35:08.639 --> 00:35:13.760
gets lost in a public conversation, her humanity. No investigation

479
00:35:13.920 --> 00:35:19.519
can fully capture a person, no online debate can, no documentary,

480
00:35:19.760 --> 00:35:23.440
including this one, ever could. The people who knew Aubrey

481
00:35:23.760 --> 00:35:27.920
best carried the truest version of her. Those memories are theirs.

482
00:35:28.639 --> 00:35:32.039
They always will be. There's a reason this story reached

483
00:35:32.079 --> 00:35:35.800
so many people, and it isn't that everyone agreed on

484
00:35:35.880 --> 00:35:40.199
what happened. They didn't and they still don't. It's that

485
00:35:40.360 --> 00:35:44.559
nearly everyone recognized the same thing underneath it, the simple,

486
00:35:44.760 --> 00:35:48.559
urgent importance of treating one another with dignity. If this

487
00:35:48.679 --> 00:35:52.320
episode moves even one listener to check on a friend

488
00:35:52.360 --> 00:35:56.039
who's been too quiet lately, If it moves one parent

489
00:35:56.119 --> 00:35:59.440
to start a conversation they'd been putting off, if it

490
00:35:59.519 --> 00:36:03.159
moves one student to choose kindness in a moment when

491
00:36:03.199 --> 00:36:07.199
cruelty would have been easier than something worth keeping has

492
00:36:07.239 --> 00:36:10.519
come from a loss that should never have happened. We

493
00:36:10.679 --> 00:36:15.480
usually end this show by talking about monsters. Sometimes they're

494
00:36:15.480 --> 00:36:20.400
individuals who do terrible things. Sometimes they're systems that fail

495
00:36:20.519 --> 00:36:25.119
people who depend on them. And sometimes they're quieter than that.

496
00:36:26.000 --> 00:36:31.079
The isolation, the despair, the indifference that grows in dark

497
00:36:31.280 --> 00:36:36.159
while everyone else looks away. Whatever shape they take, confronting

498
00:36:36.199 --> 00:36:40.960
them always begins in the same place, with truth, with compassion,

499
00:36:41.400 --> 00:36:44.079
and with the willingness to care for one another before
