This episode, Naoki tells the story of her son, a Black autistic teen whose survival hinged on jujitsu and a stranger’s kindness after years of ignored harassment escalated to an attempted murder. Through her voice, we trace systemic failures—from misreading autism as defiance, to racial stereotyping, to privacy violations by educators—that compounded his vulnerability. The conversation isn’t about shock; it’s a blueprint for prevention, outlining real fixes like mandatory mental health evaluations, forensic assessments, enforceable safety plans, in-school clinicians, and leadership stability. At its core, it’s a call for schools and communities to replace neglect with accountability so kids like Jaden can live as students, not survivors.
