My Mother’s Perfect AI Lied And Left Me For Dead Chapter 29
“But the notice says ‘accurate and objective.’ It doesn’t say it can be wrong. It doesn’t say that when a child and the system conflict, the child must be checked first.”
The principal stepped to the edge of the stage.
“Please don’t conflate an extreme tragedy with normal school management.”
I looked at him.
“Morgan’s mother said the same thing—that Ava could not make mistakes. When a staff member wanted to call 911, she used the monitoring display to stop him. When her neighbor called for help, she accused that neighbor of causing a panic.”
I turned to the autopsy report.
“A child who was already dead was declared healthy by the system over and over. What was truly extreme was that the adults around her used that as a reason to stop looking at her.”
A parent in the back row stood up.
“If my child says they’re in pain, can a teacher decide not to notify me?”
Another parent asked, “How long will the behavior files be kept?”
The representative began repeating phrases like “trade secret” and “standard procedure.”
The questions kept coming.
The chair of the school board had to bang her gavel several times before the auditorium quieted.
“There will be no vote tonight,” she announced. “The pilot program is suspended for one week while the board reexamines these materials.”
After the meeting, the company representative stopped me in the hallway.
“What connection do you have to the Morgan Ashford case?”
“That has no bearing on whether the reports are real.”
“You’re using a dead child to create fear.”
I didn’t argue.
My husband raised his phone.
“What you just said has been recorded. This was a public meeting, and the hallway has school cameras. Do you want to continue?”
The representative glanced at the camera and turned away.
I didn’t follow.
The next day, the device company submitted a statement to the school board demanding that my materials be removed.
They argued that the old case only proved a parent had misused technology, not that the system itself could harm children.
At the end of their statement, they even quoted Westley’s post.
“The machine gave us the wrong answers, but we were the ones who decided not to look at her and not to listen to her.”
They quoted only the first half.
