Another Victim Emerges, Claims Hazing in FAMU Band

ATLANTA -- More than a week after Robert Champion's death from suspected hazing, the parents of another victim are stepping forward.

Madison Hunter contacted 11Alive News after hearing Champion's parents speak Tuesday. He and Kimberly Hunter said their daughter Bria, a freshman clarinet player in the Marching 100, was also a victim of hazing and was hospitalized only weeks before Champion's death.

On Nov. 19, 26-year-old Champion collapsed shortly after the band performed at the Florida Classic. He was taken to a hospital where he later died. Witnesses say he was vomiting and complained he was unable to breathe before he collapsed. The Orange County sheriff believes hazing was involved.

The Hunters said they only know bits and pieces of what happened to their daughter, but they say it began with a phone call home in early November. Kimberly could tell something was wrong with her daughter, but didn't know the extent until she saw Bria that weekend.

"She walked towards me in the car, and she was walking stiff-legged," Kimberly recalled. "Then she tried to get into the car, and she couldn't bend her legs to get in. She basically told me they had been punching her in her legs."

A trip to the hospital proved Bria had a fractured thigh bone and damaged knee. Bria's parents contacted director Dr. Julian White and said he immediately took action. Of the 26 students suspended leading up to this year's Florida Classic, Madison Hunter said nearly a dozen were connected to hazing against his daughter.

"You need to be punished like a criminal. That's what I'd like to see happen," he said. "If they had taken heed to what happened to my daughter two weeks earlier, it shouldn't have even gotten to the point where Robert Champion died."

Both Champion and Hunter are graduates of Southwest DeKalb High School.

Hunter's case is under investigation by the Tallahassee Police Department.

Trust, there are a lot of band parents in that Atlanta area that are thinking twice about sending their kids to Florida A&M.

It is funny you say this, me and another RAM was discussing this exact same issue....watch this unfold with SWD....

SN: when KAPsi was suspended for hazing at FAMU, the student harmed in that case came from SWD as well.

Did Dr. White ever call the state police?

Did Dr. White ever call the state police?

He did just exactly what was required according to Florida state law, BOG, and university regulations dictated. And has a LONG paper trail to prove it. You're asking the wrong question(s)...as usual...

Exactly.

What Soflo and his cohorts fail to realize is that Dr. White is still going to "go down" at the end of the day.  No matter how much evidence he has, there is no way that he is going to be re-instated being that he has already proven himself to be INCOMPETENT to protect the students of the FAMU Marching 100.

Word on the street is that "someone" is about to start cleaning house at FAMU and that "someone" is not Dr. Ammons.

Yes he did.

That's Paterno's choice whether he want to fight for reinstatement or not. Dr. White chose to exercised his rights. He is fighting the dismissal/administrative leave...

Y'all still not getting what is happening here...

[DRUMMA1]

Dr. White can fight all he wants.  All of this happened on his watch.  FAMU knew about this "culture of hazing" yet did not "radical" to change it.

Like I said a while back, "FAMU had better get their checkbooks ready."

Let me ask this:  How did those people get access to that bus?  How did they get access over the other years of "pledging Bus C"?  Is this the first time someone has been hurt "Pledging Bus C?"  How many other publicly-known hazing incidents happened under Dr. White's watch as Head Band Director?
