well, the media circus is sort of over. some sick people are still making treats against the girl.

but here is the question: how many girls or boys will attend parties in their community this weekend, not have parents care, drink or do drugs to the point of passing out or just losing control and have some sex act performed on them that they will not remember. wake up naked or with no bottoms and not remember how that got there.

how many friends will step in at no small risk to themselves and prevent this from happen?

if news organization or advocacy group finds out about it and it does not involve a sports figure, will they pursue it. if it happens in a poor neighborhood, will anyone care?

will photos and vid still be taken and posted on the internet or will people respect others rights of privacy?

i finish with this thought. if i went to pick my teenage son or daughter up from a party and found naked or half naked teenagers there, i would hit the roof. if i got there and saw empty liquor bottles, i would get upset. if the parents were not there, i would hit the roof.

it upsets me that my daughter is sleeping with her boyfriend under my roof but she is not a teenager.

parenting is an active sport. parenting requires that we do things that are uncomfortable. but it is alot less uncomfortable that losing your child because she or he commits suicide because they were abused, or or bullied.......
