I cant answer that at this time. I can tell you that we have launched an investigation into the root and the cause of the escape. And the sheriff and i have reviewed a number of documents, and those documents tend to suggest that there were no significant policy violations, and the fact is that its an aging jail facility that is very noisy, and leaky at times. And we are very happy that the board of supervisors has approved the construction of a new jail. We eagerly await the new jail.

Laura wants to make sure now that doesnt happen to others, not just kids who are a little different, but everyone. I want you to know how pleased and how thrilled i am that lilys memory is being carried on by all of you. Reporter it is from the darkest day of laura talmus life that a Brighter Future may be in store for not only this group of middle School Students on a weekend retreat in petaluma but maybe tens of thousands of more. You will be the next generation of leaders in our society. Reporter thats how many students have been exposed in the past six years through at least one of their programs to the north baybased nonprofit, beyond differences. Each year we have grown and doubled and doubled and doubled in size. Reporter that dark time for laura was the sudden death at the age of 15 of her daughter lily. Lily had suffered in middle school from social isolation. Not feeling bullied per se, but something maybe just as painful. Feeling invisible. And alone. It used to break my heart because i would get calls from lily almost on a daily basis that she had finished lunch but she really didnt have anybody to eat with, so she was always hiding in the girls bathroom. Reporter it was at lilys funeral after some of her writings from that time were read that a group of her peers approached laura. Had they known that lily was feeling that left out in middle school they might have been more aware and might have done something different. Reporter it was the birth of beyond differences. Laura and her group of trained High School Ambassadors have since spoken to tens of thousands of middle schoolers, sharing their message of kindness and inclusion. Invite people. Reporter and their program, no one eats alone day has spread like wildfire across the country. As the organization has grown, though, laura says the focus has shifted away from lily. And she is okay with that. Laura never wanted it to be a static memorial for her daughter. She wanted a Dynamic Force for good in the world. And she thinks theyre well on their way. These children are going to grow up in the next 15 years and become parents, and my money is on them. Reporter no one eats alone day is scheduled each february around valentines day.
