However, it can also serve as a platform for displaying humanity’s darker sides.
When a video of Serena McKay’s brutal beating and subsequent death surfaced on Facebook, one such tragic incident occurred.
Teen who helped beat a woman to death shared a video to be sentenced in June
When one of the teens involved is sentenced in June, the mother of a young woman whose fatal beating was captured on camera and posted online said she wants her to serve at least four years in prison.
In April of last year, Serena McKay’s body was discovered on the Sagkeeng First Nation, and two adolescent girls, ages 16 and 17, were detained. The elder girl, who was underage at the time of the beating but has now turned 18 and cannot be named, entered a plea of guilty to second-degree murder in December.
Delores Daniels, McKay’s mother, said on Thursday outside court in Winnipeg, “Nothing is going to be enough.”
She was flanked by family members who were wearing red shirts that read “Justice for Serena,” and she held a framed picture of her daughter.
The girl should be given the maximum seven-year youth term, according to the Crown and Defense’s recommendations. However, the defense is only asking for one year in jail, with the remaining time being served in the community, while the Crown wants the girl to serve four years in jail.
On June 4, according to Judge Rocky Pollack, he will issue his ruling.
“(I am) a little disappointed but I know that he has a lot to consider and that this is going to be a precedent-setting case and, like I told him in my victim impact statement, the world is watching,” Daniels said.
McKay had been at a house party in the Sagkeeng community when there was an argument.
Two videos, which later circulated on social media, showed McKay being attacked while she begged for the beating to stop. Court heard the videos were filmed on the convicted teenager’s phone and she was the first person to text them to a friend.
On Tuesday, the teenager apologized to Daniels and the rest of McKay’s family in court. She said she lives every day “with this guilt and this shame.
“There are no words to describe how sorry I am,” she said.
The apology won’t bring her daughter back or stop the videos of her brutal beating from continuing to circulate online, Daniels said.
“To me, no amount of apology will ever satisfy me because my daughter’s life was taken.”
When the recordings were aired in court on Tuesday, McKay’s family left, but Daniels insisted the judge must view them before passing judgment.
The court received 24 victim impact statements from relatives and friends. Eight other statements about how the death and the recordings affected them came from people who did not know McKay, including two from persons living outside of Canada.
The judge ruled that the Canadian Victims Bill of Rights prohibited the two foreign remarks from being recorded.
Daniels reported that she has received support and condolences from individuals all around the world. She claimed that her faith and support are what give her strength.
“We just trust in God that they are going to be on our side, that He is going to look after things for us and that some time in the future, I will see my daughter again.”
The other teenager pleaded guilty to manslaughter and the Crown is asking that she be treated as an adult when she is sentenced in June.
