Ethan Bespflug, 17, lost his life after being stabbed on a bus this week in Surrey, B.C., on his way home from a friend’s house. His mother was waiting to pick him up at a bus stop and was following the GPS tracker on his phone when she saw the tracker depart from his route and head to a hospital.
Bespflug had gone to the friend’s house after school. “He woke up and went to school in the morning and never came back,” Andrea Van Der Gracht, his aunt, said on a GoFundMe page set up for the family. “We are not supposed to fear our children going to school, we are not supposed to fear our children going home from school,” she said.
