Chapter 9: The Aftermath

Broken Pledge

In the final episode of Broken Pledge, Shari Foltz and Kathleen Wiant talk with The Dispatch about their aspirations for a hazing-free future. After the loss of their sons Collin and Stone the mothers worked together to keep their promises by pushing lawmakers to pass an anti-hazing law. The new law, Collin’s Law, makes criminal punishments more severe for those who haze and expands the definition of hazing in Ohio to include the forced consumption of drugs and alcohol. Finally, the mothers reflect on their sons, the pain, and answer what they would say to group of people who are participating in hazing rituals.
