Seth Vallejos was found dead this morning (Tuesday, March 2nd). He was a sophmore at Tahoma Senior High School and a very quiet one at that. From what I have heard, he called a bunch of people on his cell phone last night just wanting to talk. The people who talked to him at that time said he seemed to be perfectly normal, nothing out of the ordinary, nothing at all worry-some.
This morning Seth's mother went down into the basement to wake him up for school. But instead of seeing her son in bed, asleep. He had hung himself he night before. Nobody know why(stress? bullying? just for attention?) and we might not ever find that answer, but we need to be more aware of the people around us and what they are feeling, so that we can get them the help that they need, and prevent this from happening again.

Seth wasn't always quiet, he was very outgoing.
ReplyDeleteAnd he will be missed.
Our family moved away from Maple Valley several years ago, so it has been a long time since we have been around seth. The Seth that our family remembers was an awesome young man. He was a quiet boy that we all loved to have around. This event has brought much sorrow to our family and we offer our deepest condolences to his family and friends.
