how old was jill when this started happening. >> it started happening when jill was about 14, it started in december, she turned 15 in february and then less than a month later, she passed. >> i can't even imagine what that was like for you all. you have another daughter so you just couldn't fold so how did you deal with all that? >> that's one of the greatest challenges. you know, the devastation that jill went through, the pain, doesn't stop. families will testify it continues. it hits the community and now we have to continue to pull ourselves up and help our other daughter and the challenges of raising and parenting another child. you know, we can't just pull up in a shell. she has the right to have a childhood. she deserves to go to go to college. she deserves to be happy. we need to teach her and show and parent her to help her. >> this happened in 2009 and it made the news, it was just a horrible thing for everybody to experience. at what point did you all find the strength to pull yourselves out of what you were going through, your immediate grief, and do something about it, do s

friend had made about jill. and she thought, if

in december, jill's behavior began to change a little bit. we noticed she began to pull away from the family. >> we worked very hard to let her do the things she wanted to do and keep it in a safe environment that we had some control over. and that was a difficult task and we worked long hours discussing it with her and what we felt was important and how she should behave. >> what went through my mind was initially the feeling that she was a teenager, i knew jill was very strong in hr personality and i knew that she was a good kid, a really good -- both my daughters are great kids. she was just exploring her sort of self-identity and i saw it as a way for her to become independent so i supported it. but it frustrated me that she was pushing away from the family. >> the day jill died i walked into her bedroom to wake her up around 11:00 am and i walked in and the dogs jumped up on the bed and she said a sweet hello to me. and i said i was concerned because she was sleeping late and i thought she should get up and get started on her day, becaus

you think jill did something? jill's over mel. she has a new husband.ls together? go out drinking? they were best friends. according to jill, mel had big plans for you soon as greg got out of the picture. who else could it have been, susie? soon as greg got oh, no.the picture. you remember something? i thought he was just being a friend. but, even on the day of the funeral... mel was moving in? i saw a guy get a ticket on my way to the cemetery, and i just... ...didn't understand. understand what? how the world keeps going. i mean, how do people do mundane things, like write up a ticket, when everything is over? hey. baby, i'm sorry. i'm sorry. mel: it's not over. you're going to be happy again. the three of us are all going to stick together. we're all going to be happy. valens: "the three of us"? when he was still married to jill. but why would mel make himself sick? he never thought greg's poisoning would come out. knowing it would, he got desperate. tried to set you up, susie.

friend had made about jill. and she thought, if somebody loves jill that much, maybe somebody loves me. i'm always touched by that. >> some day bullying will be something of the past. i also wanted to say we need to work and i see representatives here of cities and counties because those same children are on sports teams under the city rec department, they are receiving services and they are in programs with the county and so having this training, having this awareness go beyond the schools is really important. so i thought i'd mention that. the other thing that we are moving towards in education is more digital. we'll see less textbooks and more digital learning and with that we are promoting a digital literacy policy which deals with a number of issues and i'm going to go back and look at the draft policy to see how well it deals with the kind of issues rob and your family have dealt with in terms of using the internet safely and being aware of the harm you can do to yourself and to others by the way digital n

jill tucker, let me start writ you. you spent a year following these programs for the "san francisco chronicle" documentary series "even odds." what made you decide to. the on this? >> in the 15 years that i've been covering education in california, i kept reporting the same statistics about african-american males across california, and specifically in oakland. and they didn't change very much. in a good year in oakland, the graduation rate for african-american males is 50%. homicide is the leading cause of death for african-american males in oakland age 15 to 34. and another statistic that i recently stumbled upon about a i can't remember ago was the number of african-american males graduating from oakland high schools ready for college, ready for the uc or csu system. over the last decade, 802. in that same time period, 787 african-american males were killed. >> only a difference of 25 people. >> almost the same exact number. in certain years, more killed than graduated college ready, other years the opposite. it was

jill, what are you hearing about this report? >> well, wolf, those reports are coming in from the russian wires and they're coming from kazakhstan where the minister lavrov, foreign minister is currently. he will soon be on his way to geneva to meet with secretary kerry. and they are saying that a plan, no details yet on that plan, has been turned over to the united states, and it has a plan of implementing that initiative for putting the chemical weapons under international control. now, just a couple of minutes ago, in the briefing at the white house, jay carney outlined three parts that would go into that. he said they'd have to be secured, they would have to be moved from assad's control, and then ultimately they would have to be destroyed. now, we do know that secretary kerry and lavrov also will have technical experts who will be sitting down in geneva when they meet on thursday. they'll be going over all of these details because after all, this is a complex thing to do, and even more so in a war zone. wolf? >> you know, th

jill, i want to start with you.ublicans say that the provision to delay obama care is actually a compromise and that a delay could actually make sure the legislation runs smoothly. now, you wrote a piece for the national journal titled why delaying obama care could ultimately do as much damage as defunding. how devastating would a blow be for this law if it were delayed? >> well, there are two kinds of devastation that might happen. the first is if it's delayed and exchanges are delayed, then people who need insurance won't be able to get it and won't be able to afford it and maybe -- you know, they may be reinstating some of those exclusions, if you have pre-existing conditions, so that's a real-life effect. in terms of the politics and the law, you know, the only way that this law, we're going to find out if people like it or hate it is if it goes into effect. by keeping it in this perg tore for another year where no one can experience it, that guarantees that the polling on it is not going to improve and also giv

now there is a line of demarcation happens and we want to be proactive i know jill is looking at me. when the event happens and there is harm that occurs we believe in restorative practices and repairing the harm. we don't believe in kicks kids out of school. that's not a solution. we are an educational institution. we go through this process and the perpetrator understands the damage and make it right to the victim. it's not okay shake hands. it's a whole process. you talk about it and process what is happening and people follow up on that, so we very much believe in this restorative process in san francisco and how do we know? because of the indicators that should be going up are going up and the others are going down. our truancies are down. suspensions are down and students in class is going up. thank you for being here.
