‘How Many Children Have To Die?’ Parents Protest Outside Snapchat HQ
SANTA MONICA, CA — After the death of her 13-year-old son Luca, Amanda Faith began to carry around his childhood stuffed toy husky with a heart-shaped urn containing his ashes stitched inside.
Faith said the idea to put the urn inside the stuffed dog named Rusty, which was Luca’s first toy as a child, stems from a time she and her son needed to patch a rip on its arm when Luca was very young. Faith said when performing the “surgery” she took off one of her heart-shaped earrings and sewed it up inside the stuffing.
“Luca was so excited and he said ‘Now Rusty is going to live forever,'” Faith said. “When Luca died, I cut open Rusty’s chest, and there’s a heart-shaped urn in here containing Luca so that he’ll live forever.”
