Cinga ukuba ugqibile omnye unyaka wekholeji. Kwelinye ihlobo ukhululekile esikolweni kunye nenyathelo elinye kufutshane nehlabathi lokwenyani ngonaphakade. Udibana nabanye abafundi ukubhiyozela kwaye ekugqibeleni uqale uhambo lwakho oluya ekhaya. Ngaphandle kokuba awuphinde ubuyele ekhaya.
Oku kwenzeka ngoMeyi 2008 xa uBrandon Swanson oneminyaka eyi-19 esendleleni eya ekhaya emva kokubhiyozela kunye nabahlobo emva kokuphela kwe-semester yasentwasahlobo.
Ukunyamalala kukaBrandon Swanson
NgoMeyi 14, 2008, uBrandon Swanson wemka waya ekhaya ezinzulwini zobusuku kamsinya nje emva kokuba umbhiyozo uphelile. Kwakumalunga nentsimbi yesibini ekuseni xa wafowunela abazali bakhe ngefowuni yakhe, ebaxelela ukuba uqhube iChevy Lumina yakhe endleleni yaya kumsele okufutshane nedolophu yaseLynd, eMinnesota. Okuvuyisayo kukuba akalimalanga wacela abazali bakhe ukuba bamlande.
U-Annette noBrian Swanson baphuma ebusuku ukuya kukhangela unyana wabo, beqhubeka bethetha naye emnxebeni ukuze bachaze eyona ndawo akuyo. Bakhanyisa izibane zabo ukuze babonise uBrandon xa befika kwindawo echazwe kuyo, kodwa uBrandon akazange aqaphele izibane kwaye waphendula ngokudanyaza eyakhe emva kokubuyela emotweni yakhe, abazali bakhe abazange babone.
Kwacaca ukuba la maqela mabini ayengekho kwindawo enye, kwaye ke uBrandon wathi wayishiya isithuthi sakhe kwaye waxelela abazali bakhe ukuba uza kuhamba esiya ngakuye, into awayecinga ukuba zizibane zedolophu yaseLynd. Waxelela uyise ukuba adibane naye kwindawo yokupaka iinqwelo-mafutha kwindawo yentselo yasekuhlaleni aze amlinde apho, ngoxa wayesemgceni nonyana wakhe.
Malunga nentsimbi yesi-2:30 am, malunga nemizuzu engama-47 emnxebeni, besaphula incoko yabo eqhelekileyo, uBrandon wakhwaza ngequbuliso. "Oh ikaka!". Ecinga ukuba uBrandon umele ukuba uyilahlile ifowuni yakhe, abazali bakhe baqala ukukhwaza igama lakhe ukuze afumane ifowuni, kodwa unxibelelwano lwalahleka. Bazama ukufowuna, ngethemba lokuba uBrandon uzakubona ukukhanya kwiselfowuni ebumnyameni ukuze akufumane, kodwa akazange aphendule. UBrandon akazange abonwe okanye aviwe ukusukela oko.
Ukukhangela uBrandon Swanson
Ngentsasa elandelayo, amapolisa azisiwe, kwaye kwaqala ukulibaziseka ukukhangela uBrandon Swanson, encediswa ziihelikopta, amavolontiya kunye nezinja. Iofisi yeesherifu ifumana iirekhodi zeselfowuni zikaBrandon kwaye yatyhila ukuba ebefowuna ekwindawo yaseTaunton, iikhilomitha ezingama-25 ukusuka eLynde. Ukukhangela indawo bafumene imoto kaBrandon emseleni ophuma kwindlela yegrabile ecaleni komgca weLincoln County. Ngokungaqhelekanga, kwindawo apho kwakungekho zibane zaluphi na uhlobo zibonakala. Kwindawo ejikeleze imoto, bekungekho mikhondo yokuxela ukuba uBrandon waqala ukuya kweliphi icala.
Iqela le-bloodhounds lifumene umzila weekhilomitha ezi-3 ezilandela iindlela zentsimi ukuya kwifama eshiyiweyo, emva koko kunye noMlambo we-Yellow Medicine ukuya kwindawo apho kwakubonakala ngathi umzila wawungena emlanjeni, okwenza abaninzi bakholelwa ukuba wakhubeka kuyo waza warhaxwa. . Utata wakhe ukhumbule ukuba uBrandon ekhankanya iingcingo ezidlulayo kunye namanzi okuva kufutshane, ke izikhephe zathunyelwa kukhangelwa umzimba wakhe ngethiyori yokuba warhaxwa.
Izinja nazo zalichola ivumba lakhe kwelinye icala lomlambo ngakwindlela yegrabile eya kwifama eshiyiweyo, nangona zaphulukana nayo ngokukhawuleza. Ukongezelela, umzimba wakhe, iimpahla zakhe, okanye izinto zakhe azizange zifumaneke emlanjeni. Kwakhona, uBrandon ngesandla kwafuneka axhome umnxeba kwaye ifowuni kaBrandon isakwazi ukufumana iifowuni, oko kuthetha ukuba ikwimeko yokusebenza kwaye inokwenzeka ukuba ingantywiliselwa phantsi kwamanzi.
Kuba wayengathi akarhaxwa, kwenzeka ntoni emva koko? UDarrin E. Delzer, umcimi-mlilo ozinikeleyo oye wabandakanyeka kuphando, unengcaciso ecacileyo. Ufumene iinkcukacha ukuba abeendaba abazange babike emva kokuphonononga iNgxelo yoMsebenzi oSolisayo (SAR). Okokuqala nokuphambili, uBrandon wayeyimfama ngokusemthethweni kwelinye lamehlo akhe kwaye wayefuna ukusetyenziswa kweemboniselo. Imiboniso yakhe, nangona kunjalo, yayishiywe emotweni yakhe.
Ngoku, ngaba ubungayi kuthabatha imiboniso yakho uhambe nawe ukuba ubumfama ngeliso elinye, uhamba ngobusuku obufileyo unqumla kummandla ongaziwayo? Ayinangqiqo ngaphandle kokuba wayenxilile epatini. Nditsho nomntu ongamaziyo, bobabini abahlobo bakhe abagqibele ukumbona ethekweni kwaye abazali bakhe babika ukuba ubonakala eqhelekile kwaye enganxilanga.
Olunye ulwazi olubandakanyiweyo kwingxelo ye-SAR yayikukuba ngaphambi kokuba kuphele umnxeba, uBrandon waxela kuyise ukuba uwela amasimi kunye neengcingo kwaye wakhwaza. “Alukho olunye ucingo” phambi kokuba uthi "Oh ikaka." Ngeli xeshana lifutshane, uTata wakhe weva ekhwela ecingweni emva koko kwavakala ngathi utyibilika ematyeni.
Ukutyhubela iminyaka, ukhangelo oluninzi lukaBrandon Swanson lwenziwa, kodwa yena okanye iselfowuni yakhe ayizange ifumaneke. Ucinga ukuba kwenzeka ntoni kuye? Ngaba wawela emlanjeni waza warhaxwa? Okanye ngaba wanyamalala ngabom? Okanye waxhwilwa ebumnyameni??
