A 16-year-old high school sophomore, MacKenzie Swigart, from Kansas, who created a site at Facebook.com in memory of Cho, including understanding towards his suffering. And she stresses the fact that if he had gotten help when he most needed it, perhaps all of this would not have happened.
She said it's the hateful and vulgar criticism toward Cho written in other groups that led her to create one forgiving him.
