  CANDI - The Grace Anne Sparks Coercive Suicide Prevention Law of 2026

  Jun 30, 20261h 15m

  Justice does not bring those lost back to life. But it does hold those responsible for horrific crimes accountable, and hopefully acts as a deterrent for potential perpetrators of those crimes. But prior to the Grace Anne Sparks Coercive Suicide Prevention Law of 2026, coercive suicide was not a crime. After grooming Grace Anne Sparks online from the age of 12 to 19, Hayden Jennings Berkebile strategically and methodically coerced her to commit suicide. Berkebile was convicted of criminally negligent homicide, and sentenced to just 2 years, only serving a small portion of that time. He was released just months after his conviction. This episode’s guest, Grace Anne’s mother, Candi, could have let the loss of her precious baby girl, and the immense sense of a lack of justice, destroy her. But she didn’t. Instead, she channeled the same fiery spirit that lived in Grace Anne, transforming her pain into purpose and her grief into justice by sharing her story and advocating for a new law - one that will help protect future generations of girls and spare other mothers from enduring the same unimaginable tragedy. Tomorrow, July 1st, 2026, coercive suicide becomes a Class D felony offense in the state of Tennessee punishable by up to 12 years in prison. Thank you to Tennessee State Representative Ryan Williams and Tennessee State Senator Paul Bailey for partnering with Candi to lead this bill to unanimous passage in both chambers of the Tennessee General Assembly. Please share this episode with every parent you know. Thank you, Candi, for having the courage to talk about this incredibly difficult part of your life. Grace Anne’s story and legacy is sure to save lives.
