Tennessee Mother Advocates for New Law After Daughters Suicide Due to Online Manipulation

Candi Sparks, a Tennessee mother, is pushing for a new law to make coercive suicide a felony after her 13-year-old daughter, Grace Anne, took her own life in 2019 following online manipulation. Grace Anne was groomed by a 20-year-old man on a social media app, who pressured her into harmful acts, ultimately leading to her death. The man received only two years in prison due to lack of specific laws in Tennessee.

The bill, sponsored by Representative Ryan Williams and Senator Paul Bailey, has passed the state Senate unanimously and is now heading to the House for a key vote. Candi urges parents to monitor their childrens online activities and encourages everyone to support the bill by contacting House representatives before the vote. Her mission is to prevent more families from experiencing the same tragedy and keep her daughters kind spirit alive.
