SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A new classmate has been implicated in the death of a 15-year-old girl who committed suicide after saying three boys sexually assaulted her and circulated photos of the abuse online.
Audrie Pott hanged herself in September, about a week after passing out drunk at a party at a friend’s house in Northern California.
The 15-year-old said boys she had known for years took off her clothes and sexually assaulted her, including writing and drawing on intimate parts of her body and taking cellphone photos of their actions, according to authorities. Full Article
All I can say is WTF… 15 and drinking…
Welcome to high school?
// 15-year olds drinking alcohol. WTF! And lying to their parents and sneaking around! Shocking! I hear in the next town over they have some new devil music – Rock and Role they call it, I believe.

In my opinion, the key to parenting is interesting involvement, not aggressive oversight. By which I mean providing them with access to interesting (though potentially dangerous) activities like skiing, snowboarding, boating, and the like.

Surely those guys were on the list for the next sexual assault….
surely had the guys not taken photos …..they would have

if only those guys were on a list this wouldn’t have happened …………..got it …????…..you see the sham…….
while they have you in fear and keep your eye on the
registry list………the real threat…the 98 % threat was
from guys not in list..
It was wrong to bully the girl in the article……as it is wrong
to bully people forced to be on registry list…….don’t bully
anyone…….anyone.
