Okie the Nobody

A $21 vape pen. A 16-year-old dead. And a mother fighting to make sure it doesn’t happen again. Andrew Meismer was stabbed to death at his Texas high school after an argument over a missing THC vape pen. An 18-year-old student was charged with his murder. Now Andrew’s mother, Rebecca Meismer, is fighting for legislation called Andrew’s Law, which would require serious school assaults to be reported to law enforcement and investigated. Think about what this mother is going through. She sent her son to school expecting him to come home. Instead, she’s planning a future without him. And rather than simply grieving, she’s trying to protect other families from experiencing the same tragedy. No parent should have to bury a child because of violence at school. If Andrew’s Law can help prevent even one family from going through this, his mother’s fight will have made a difference.
