Missouri lawmaker files hazing legislation after incident at Mizzou

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — After the family of a Mizzou student said a hazing incident left their son blind, unable to talk, walk or care for himself, a Missouri lawmaker is proposing legislation to prevent a similar situation from happening again.

Back in October 2021, the Santulli family said their youngest son Danny was ordered to drink an entire bottle of vodka at a fraternity event. Criminal indictments allege no one called 911 after he was found on the couch in distress. Now, there’s a bill filed to get hazing victims medical attention while protecting the 911 caller from a felony. The legislation is being known as “Danny’s Law.”
