"On Monday, the retrial of three men accused of killing a
ransgender teen is scheduled to get underway in the East Bay.

A fourth man has already plead guilty to manslaughter and
has agreed to testify once again for the prosecution.

Last year, a Jury deadlocked on a murder charge.

Araujo's mother, Sylvia Guerrero, spoke in Fremont about the
upcoming trial at a seminar for educators today on transgender issues.

At the seminar, Guerrero talked about issues surrounding the
raising of a transgender teenager, especially during puberty.

“That’s when people are most brutal and say the meanest
things to your child,” she said. “Just encourage your baby.
Be there behind them and support them. Be there to love them.”

She also urged acceptance on the part of educators,
because they are the ones students look up to when it comes to dealing with these issues."
