I cannot imagine what this girl must endure for the rest of her life. ?What a tragic story. ?No punishment would be enough I don't think.

I've been hearing about this daily b/c it happened w/in range of my local news.  It is just awful--I cannot imagine what that poor girl is going through.  And I agree, I can't think of a punishment harsh enough.

things like that make me so sad for the world my kids are growing up in.  It also makes me more aware than ever that my girls will need to know how to be strong and take care of themselves.

How sickening. That poor, poor girl.  How do you pick yourself up and move on to a normal life after that?

I should add that not only do I want my girls to know how to defend themselves, they need to know right from wrong and when to speak up for someone who can't speak up for themselves.  How sad is it that more than 20 people were there and no one thought to call the police until after it was all over?  Sick.

I'm sick to my stomach, and it makes me so sad that not one person did a thing. I'm in tears, that poor girl.

I am in The SF Bay Area so its all over the local news. Such a sad story. I can't believe not one person came to her aid. And it happened ON the school property. Where were the security guards/teachers... Richmond is known as a very dangerous city, high crime & murder rate etc.. Not to make any excuse for the horrible rapists, but to say the cycle of crime continues on would be an understatement.
