Current Event Story

02Dec09

On October 24, 2009, a high school teen went to a dance thinking that she was going to have a blast, but as the night went on, something happened that she will never forget. It all started in Richmond Union High School. It was their annual homecoming dance and this fifteen-year-old girl thought it would be cool to go with a couple of friends. The dance started and you couldn’t stop her from dancing. Moments went on and she was in a dark alley behind the high school. 10 of her classmates, who were in a gang, raped her while 10 other students watched. Therefore, there were 20 people seeing this happened, and nobody did anything to stop it. She was in critical condition. She was sent to the hospital for treatment and was recently released. Unfortunately, the suspects have been sent home due to lack of evidence found in this case. The trial is due back on January 21. The friends and family had a lot of things to say to whomever did this to this poor teen. Even though a very bad thing happened, everyone stayed calm and peaceful while speaking their message. Instead of going to the media and bashing, everything that has been going on, they wanted the community to get one message and one message only. That message was to prevent this horrific accident from happening to anyone else, and all the consequences, and actions that took present on that day. This is a very serious matter and i hope this never happens, again.
