What Schools Won’t Say About Student Safety

Pamela Price Season 1 Episode 11

What happens when the systems meant to protect our children—schools, police and policymakers—fail to do so? 

In this week’s episode, I sit down with Angelique Paige, founder of the Vernon Eddins Jr. Foundation, for a powerful conversation on youth violence, bullying prevention, and what real safety in schools should look like.

Angelique’s story is rooted in unimaginable loss—her 14-year-old son, Vernon Eddins Jr., was shot and killed on the steps of his junior high school. But her response? A movement built on prevention, healing, and the radical belief that every child deserves to be safe.

We’re diving deep into:

  • Why school policies often fail to protect students in real-life situations
  • The critical difference between response and prevention
  • How to equip students with tools to resolve conflict and build empathy
  • What educators, parents and leaders actually need to support youth
  • How Trump’s 2025 agenda is putting our children at even greater risk


This episode is for anyone who believes our kids deserve better—and is ready to fight for it.
