My Views/Comments: in response to comments made about this heinous act
I read how many are quick to judge any person be it the victim or perpetrator or event which took place and where the crime is/was committed. Those also are quick to comment, without knowing all the facts wanting to place blame and what?... feel better about yourself as you came to the defense of or to become the executioner, pass sentence of how the perps are dealt with.
Or are you saying I would never had done that, or My Child would never have done that, Blame the Schools, or as PeeWee writes "Im going to really talk to my sons after reading this to let them know..." you have not done this already?....it takes something on the news about a despicable act, before you Parent?
So who is to blame, Society on a whole, the Parents of the participants of this crime...or if the News Reporters do not have the Facts, tell the Story is that 100% accurate, and People base their comments on what they read or heard, not having first hand knowledge ? And the Actions some suggest to be taken, would that have prevented this Crime, or stop the next one?
Or Blame it on our Legal System, Blame the President, if how this article begins is the truth, "Awakening in a friend's bedroom after drinking too much at a sleepover, 15-year-old" who is the Responsible Person(s) at the friends home where this alleged crime is committed, and the alcohol came from where "after she drank alcohol and passed out" and this Sleep Over All Girls or just the Friend & the Victim or was this a Party...
"The parents of the friend where the party was held" & "the parents of the friend had a "duty to prevent" parties from taking place at their home" "interviews of people at the party showed the suspects were sober at the time of the attack in Saratoga" how can these people determine if the suspects were sober, their ages? Adults do not even know when they are intoxicated thinking they are sober, okay to drive...
You have "the suspects told authorities during the initial investigation that they did drink at the party."
Whatever the age of the Suspects, the Friend or Friends, the victim, all were responsible along with the Parents of where this event happened. And what can be asked about the Parents of the Victim, where her Parents aware of a Sleep Over or a Party, and that there would be Alcohol for Minors to consume, altering their ability to make Smart decisions, choices, or intervene and stop the Suspects?
Bullying is mentioned, at School and before this incident & after...could any one have stopped any of the events days, months or years before that Night, all having in someway a place in what may or would happen at some point and time. And what about after when possibly those who attended were not under the influence of alcohol, when "At school, she saw a group of students huddled around a cellphone and realized that at least one humiliating photo of her was circulating."
Those even not involved at the Sleep Over aka Party, were they viewing the cell phone pictures and felt it was okay.
And I am applaud that the 15yr old was allowed to go to School, knowing what had happened to her, thinking her parents knew too at that time what happened to her daughter.
And the 15yr old "went online and tried to confront the three boys she had known since junior high who she believed had done it." or "the whole school knows," she wrote in one Facebook message to a friend."
And where is it mentioned in this article of her going for Medical attention, a Rape Kit Test, words describe "penetrated with a foreign object, and/or sexually abused her" Nothing about Rape.
We all have the Responsibility, as this incident Affects Us All for this could be our daughter, son, sister, brother, mother, father, friend, co-worker, next door neighbor another human. Those not affected by this, are in my opinion the Suspect, the Criminal, The One who will do this again.
Protecting our Schools, begins in the Home, Protecting Our Children begins in the Home, same of this incident it happened in a Home.
