Summary: When word spread throughout Cement High School that Billie Joe Powell, a 16-year-old high school sophomore, had shot and killed her father—no one was sure if it was true. It was. But the reason why she did it would expose an entire system that failed to protect her. In episode 143, Jac, Alexis and Billy tell the tale of a teenage girl who fought back against the abuse her family suffered at the hands of her father.
