Shock: Parents Learn Of Daughter’s Death On Facebook
The parents of a college freshman who was found dead on campus say they found out about her death on Facebook.

Jasmine Benjamin, a 17-year-old nursing student at Valdosta State University from Lawrenceville, Ga., was found dead in a study area in her dorm on Nov. 18. According to CBS Atlanta, police are treating the death as a homicide, pending the results of an autopsy.

Jasmine's parents say the school did not inform them of her death, learning about it instead through a friend's Facebook post.

"For someone to be so insensitive not to reach out to the family, it's very, very hurtful to say the least," James Jackson, Jasmine's stepfather, told the network.

Re: Shock: Parents Learn Of Daughter’s Death On Facebook
Valdosta investigators were asking for the public’s help Friday in solving what they are now calling the murder of a Valdosta State University student from Lawrenceville.
Jasmine Benjamin, 17, was found dead Sunday around noon on campus in a study room in Georgia Hall, Valdosta police investigator Maj. Brian Childress told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

“Monday, based off information from the (GBI) medical examiner’s autopsy, we determined that this was a homicide,” Childress said, noting that the report from the autopsy was not yet complete. “There are some concerns from the medical examiner’s findings.”

Re: Shock: Parents Learn Of Daughter’s Death On Facebook
Jackson said police told him that Jasmine "had been dead for at least 12 hours before she was found, because passers-by thought she was simply sleeping on the study room couch," adding to the family's frustration.

"That's the most disturbing part," Jackson said. "What kind of school is this that they know someone's laying on the couch to go check on them after a certain amount of hours?"

The parents told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution late last week that they were initially told their daughter died of natural causes. "To find out it was a homicide and that somebody actually murdered our daughter changed everything," Jackson said. "It was like hearing the news all over again."

Sleeping long hours in college is not unusual because of the long stressful study hours and partying.
Many of them could be simply stepped over even if they look to be sleeping in the hallway floor or stairway.

im not surprised the news hit facebook before the school/authorities had time to ring the parents.

they would have literally needed to run to the phone to beat the tapping fingers of teenagers on facebook.

its like that for all other news as well. shit always hits twitter/facebook first.'

Hey Sleeping Giant:

I concur and second everything you said, including and especially the part about vile swine - which the AC certainly is!

On top of that callousness and blatant disregard for human life, the friggin idiot speaks of "grade curb". I think he meant grade "curve" but was too stupid to even pick the right word for such a simple thing. So not only is that A/C truly a vile swine, but an idiot of a vile swine, too!

How on earth would any of us feel if that were our brother, sister, son, daughter, cousin, etc., left in such a position for hours/days and not even discovered as being dead vs sleeping? And for this parents are paying tens of thousands of dollars per year in tuition to these "schools?" (I use the term loosely here!)

It's not the schools responsibility to keep up with your child.

The police are suppose to inform you of deceased family member. Especially a possible murder that needs investigation.

However, you still hold responsibility in keeping up with your child so get on that bad parents and broken families.

I agree with you, what a horrible thought that your family member laid there for hours while thought to be sleeping. I could see how it could happen at college, but still, it is a horrible thought. And, I totally missed AC saying "curb." That's pretty funny.

A lot of rotten people posting in this thread.

Some of you people make me sick.
And the LORD spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin, then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it.
