A chemical company has been dumping toxic waste into the Colorado River for 10 years. This toxic waste has caused a large increase in cancer cases in the nearby city, with hundreds of children dying from cancer linked to the waste. While the chemical plant employs many local workers, the owners knowingly dumped the waste into the river instead of properly disposing of it in order to save money. This action has raised issues around whether the company should be punished, if the river water can still be used, and if the company officers are criminally liable.
Tim Miller, a quiet 9th grader, was relentlessly bullied by a group of boys at his school. The bullying made Tim depressed and he began to feel that he could not take it anymore.
