I don't know all the details about the father, but I'm guessing someone wasn't there to pick her up after the dance was over... just like Somer Thompson's mother should not have let her children walk a mile home from school everyday. These days parents are too busy with their own agendas, and the children are the ones who suffer. Hey Alyssa,

Terrible. Sad. With things the way they are now makes me concerned as to what they will be like in the future when my younger children grow up.

There is no reason things like this should happen, and especially not on school property. Not in a place where children should feel safe. You’re right in saying there is no excuse.

So if that is the case the school is accountable. She most likely drank at the event, right? MSNBC quoted that she was highly intoxicated. So if that is the case the school is accountable.

More needs to happen than just arrests and jail time...how can this community, this school district change for the better? Obviously by getting rid of that school official who truly does not care about children, to start. But more needs to be done...more needs to happen to bring true healing to all involved.

FYI-it has been stated that the girl's father was looking for her while this was going on. Before you cast judgment on her parents, at least be brave enough to post your name. Hey Anonymous,

The response of the students is appalling, the response of the administrators was not outraged enough from my point of view. It's disturbing how 10 kids could be involved in something like this, it's like a pack of wolves. Where are THOSE kids parents?! This is horrifying.

Can you imagine? I sure can't. This is almost unbelievable but what is worse it that it has been plastered all over the news and this poor girl has to deal with all the publicity nationwide along with everything else. Therapy is definitely needed there. Sad Sad Sad!!!! I also seen where that school has a 69% truency rate and 19 student murders last year. Can you imagine? I sure can’t.

So incredibly sad for this 15 year old girl... her life will NEVER be the same again for so many reasons.
