She is speaking from beyond the grave. Sanarosa's message "Let it end with me" is a stark reminder of the prevalence of sexual violence on children.

The teenager lost her life due to the abuse and violence she suffered at the hands of her father. The father was sentenced to 20 years in jail, however, that punishment will never bring back the innocence that was lost.

Samoa Victim Support Group held a closure ceremony in Fasitoo-uta on Friday morning, the final resting place of Sanarosa. 

“Let what happened to me end with me. In a Christian nation, children should grow up safely within their families. I wasn’t. I urge all parents to please, love your children,” these were Sanarosa's words before she passed away due to health complications as a result of the abuse.

Minister of Women Mulipola Anarosa Ale-Molio’o said she would stop at nothing to put an end to this violence. 

"It is also wonderful that Sanarosa's calling leaves a positive message for any youngster attempting to seek help, and that Maluafou and Saint Joseph's College are present today to allow her ceremony serve as a lesson to both schools that have been involved in school battles,” she said. 

She said the Ministry of Justice and Courts Administration were still in charge of the Child Protection Policy and that they were eager to conduct a consultation on it.

“I notice a lot of women here, along with kids. Who can help with these issues? If your voice is heard, parents, you have the answers to every problem they face today” she said.

“How would you feel if this was your daughter? Isn’t God is in every family? Where are the parents? I feel as sorry for Sanarosa as she is lying in her grave with a sad story”

Malofaiolefaiva Lama, 79 from Lalomauga and Falevao said, “A parent's job is to safeguard and care for their children, but I do hold everyone accountable—fathers for their alcohol use, mothers for their socialising, and kids for not listening to their parents.”

“Not only is it a very significant day for Sanarosa, but it's also a day that everyone at the two colleges should be grateful for since it allows them to see and make Sanarosa the last person to experience hardship in life, beginning with her family.

"I firmly think everyone will take away a special lesson and a good voice for the voiceless from today's Sanarosa case closing ceremony." 

SVSG president Siliniu Lina Chand said Sanarosa’s story is poignant reminder that everyone has a future worth fighting for—one filled with hope, love, and endless possibilities. 

"Sanarosa fought for her right to live to the end. Hence, from beyond the grave, she continues to advocate for an end to violence against children through her dying message of hope," she said.

“As ‘Mama Lina’ to thousands of abused children like Sanarosa, whom we have rescued, restored, and reintegrated into society, I call upon the youth of Samoa to be a Torch of Change—a beacon of hope for others, not a source of violence. Please do this in memory of Sanarosa, who could not surpass her teenage years due to violence.”
