Ortralla Mosley – A Five Year Memorial

March 31st, 2008

It’s been five years since 15-year old Ortralla Mosley, a high school sophmore, was murdered by her ex-boyfriend in a hallway at Reagan High School in Austin. This weekend, Carolyn Mosley, Ortralla’s mother, held a memorial and press conference commemorating Ortralla’s death and promoting awareness of teen dating violence. You can learn more about Ortralla’s story by visiting the Myspace page for the Ortralla Foundation.

When an abusive relationship ends in murder, it often receives media attention that can last for years. While we think this a good thing, we do want to stress that many people are involved in controlling or abusive relationships that aren’t physically abusive. Often, an abuser becomes more violent and more dangerous after a break-up. We hope that stories like Ortralla’s will reach teens that may never think their relationship could get to this point.
