Race has nothing to do with this!!! Has everyone forgotten of what just happen???? I don't care if you are white, black, Hispanic etc... All of a sudden people are going to forget what actually just happen and point it to race??? Are you for real????? I am a mother of 2 girls with one being raped ON SCHOOL PROPERTY at the age of 15. No it wasn't a gang rape but this poor girl and her family will have a long road ahead of themselves with all the counseling, therapy, psychologist, psychiatrist, lawyers, District Attorney, court appointments, having to repeat her story over and over again. Believe me she will not have a normal teenage life for a very long time. My daughter is now 17 (almost 18)a senior was home schooled after the incident and then we moved her to another school from all her friends and where she grew up so she could try and have a successful senior year without no one knowing of what happen to her so she wasn't talked about or given pitty. Kids are cruel in this society these days. My daughter came home last week from school and said. "Mom did you hear about the girl in California that was ganged raped and everyone stood by and watched and did nothing about it?" At the time I didn't hear about it. My daughter said. They were talking about it in school today and I just wanted to break out in tears and yell at everyone for what they were saying I am so sick over this it makes me so angry!People have no idea what has happened to someone mentally until it happens to them!! (we live 3000 miles from California and our kids here are talking about it like its nothing) In our case he was found guilty but it took us over 2 1/2 years to get that Guilty verdict and guess what the school put in cameras after it happens! The only one who really suffers over this is the child its being done too! She will face a lot in her up coming years and will face a lot more in her life when she becomes an adult and feels she cannot have a successful relationship. The one night of horror that other people created for her just turned into a lifetime of challenges for herself. My heart goes out to her and her family and I wish them lots of strength because they are going to need it.

To her mother hold your daughter close but take this advice if she tends to back off on you or her father for those hugs its not you! Its the fear she has inside and it will overcome one day.
