  • This is so sad. To advertise on a story like this !!! We should never buy a product from one of these companies. Shocked, inappropriate!

  • Do not blame the children or their families for this. Blame the adults running the City of Palo Alto. Also the people who refuse to see the truth or do anything about it are to blame. One would be Senator Joe Simitian former City of Palo Alto council member and Mayor now a senator who knows of my case and has refused to help. I guess texting on your cell phone is more important to him than the lives of the children in the city where he came from.

    Palo Alto streets need $26M in repairs

    Palo Alto workers tell Council we want transparency

    San Francisquito creek floods Palo Alto in1998 ( I was working there at the time, the flood exposed the mismanagement of public funds and the lieing to the citizens from the fire cheif, Who then went on to lie to the citizens of California again in the So Cal wild fires of 2007. Ruben grijalva and Gov Schwarzenegger's lies about this .

  • As Sen Joe Simitian told me. "If it involves the City I can't do anything" Funny I thought you were a State Senator, not a member of the PTA? I just think it is time someone tells the TRUTH in Palo Alto. Do not expect it from the City Leaders, oh and where is Sen Joe Simitian who came from Palo Alto while all this is going on? Putting some distance between him and this REAL issue.

    R.I.P.. I know your pain, Your lives were lost before you even knew what to do with them...... What a waste..

  • Had something to do with it. Working for the City of Palo Alto and it's abuse leaders almost took my life. It still might. Living and going to school there took the Lives of 5 , how many more? I posted a video here on you tube. Fireman needs help abuse of power People who know more of the history of Palo Alto and the events that have and are going on there, know Palo Alto is not right, something is wrong and killing people. Ego,politics, power are just several doing this.

  • I do not know what caused it, I did not want or ask for this, maybe it was seeing too many people and families torn apart. I have responded to those same tracks more than once in my 20 years of service to the citizens of Palo Alto. I can see the body and brains of the man who laid his head down on those same tracks as clear as day when I close my eyes. It never goes away. Maybe after the city of Palo Alto refused to help me and I was sitting on the edge of my bed with a loaded gun in my mouth.

  • From Dr's report. Related to but beyond his characteristic level of emotional responsivity, this man appears to have been confronted with an event or events in which he was exposed to a severe threat to his life, a traumatic experience that precipitated intense fear or horror on his part. Currently the residuals of this event appear to be persistenly reexperienced... I find actual events of employment are predominat of all causes combined for the psychiatric industrial injury.

  • I was diagnosed with Major Depression, aniety and PTSD. The City has since gotten rid of me with no help after 20 me helping everyone else for 20 plus years. I have done everything I can think of to get help, however, the city has done everything it can to block that help. The city of Palo Alto is a place that needs to hide much of the way it does business so I became a whistleblower to them. 1 more student and 2 other people have done the same, it is now 5 students and 2 more people, 7
