Tyler Clementi and...someone else
Sep. 30th, 2010 12:24 pmI've been reading the news about the suicide of Rutgers University freshman student Tyler Clementi, and feeling just sick. For those of you who haven't yet heard, Tyler Clementi's roommate Dharun Ravi thought it would be a fun joke to use a webcam to spy upon Tyler during Tyler's sexual encounter with another man (also a student at Rutgers). Ravi sent out a tweet about it and broadcast the encounter to the world. Another student Molly Wei is in trouble, too, the young woman from whose room Ravi operated the web cam remotely. When he learned of what his roommate had done, Clementi jumped off the George Washington bridge to his death.
Here is the statement made by the President of Rutgers University.
One thing seems to have escaped just about everybody in all the coverage I've been looking at this morning: There was ANOTHER young man involved. Another anonymous (so far) young man, the man that Tyler Clementi liked, who also had his privacy violated. Where is he now? How is HE feeling, knowing that Tyler killed himself after the encounter was broadcast? Is he getting support? Is he feeling suicidal, too?
It's too late for Tyler, but not for him.
God, let him be getting help. Somewhere. Somehow.
