This nightmare can unfold at any university across our great state, including those our children from Grand Prairie attend, whether it's a flagship school or a local community college. It’s initiation night, and your student, a bright young person from Grand Prairie, is at an off-campus fraternity house or a sports team gathering.

Their child, a vibrant student from Denton County, headed off to a Texas university excited about new friendships and joining a campus organization. But then the phone calls changed. Late-night texts, strange requests for money, vague explanations of "bonding activities," and then, a hushed voice admitting to things that just didn't feel right.
