[Horrible] Parents seeking a homicidal charge for a girl's suicide

Damn she looks cute.

 

That's why it's a story.

 

If the defense can prove that the parents could have procured counseling or other forms of treatment that might have precluded the suicide; or if they can simply demonstrate that it's a less than likely outcome of this type of incident, than a homicide charge might not be prudent. Since their provable but less egregious acts resulted in an obvious worst possible outcome, there shouldn't be any problem getting them a maximum sentence with something other than a homicide conviction.

 

No way homicide charges stick here.

Sad stuff though.

 

Never want to have a daughter.

 

Call me an *******, but I really have a hard time feeling sorry for people in cases like these. She "passed out at a party" means she was probably doing drugs/alcohol. I am in no way condoning the behavior of the attackers, they should be prosecuted fully for what they did, but I would like to see the parents take some responsibility and accept that they screwed up raising there daughter instead of blaming other people. If you don't want to get burned, stay out of the fire.

 

I think its unfair to say the parents "screwed up raising their daughter". We don't know if passing out at parties was a regular thing for her.

 

Do you have children?

 

The same could be said for lecturing under-aged, dead rape victims. No boy above the age of ten doesn't know that sleeping with an unconscious woman is rape.

 

They should get in trouble for assault not murder. You go insult someone. They go kill themselves is that murder?

 

This makes no sense...

Nobody thinks that some girl doing underage drinking/smoking/etc. is "okay", but that has absolutely no effect on some kids attempting to sexually assault her. How can you put ANY blame on her for this situation? Her passing out has absolutely zero effect on what those kids do to her.

 

Read my post again. Like I said earlier, I do not condone the behavior of the offenders. They are going to get what's coming to them. I have a problem understanding why the parents seek homicide charges when the perpetrators did not commit homicide. IMO they are seeking revenge for what could very well have been a result of there shortcomings as parents. Maybe I worded my earlier post badly.

 

A fifteen year old girl making a common mistake at that age /= bad parenting.

 

(Probably. And males still commit suicide 5 times more than females. Does the reason matter, isnt it fair to ask why society is letting them down too? )

Though this was urged on by some dumb insensitive guys being predatory on a girl, and it'll raise more awareness on cyber crime and how we use social media and the role of parents in it, that kinda thing. A homocide charge would be a deterrent to others from slandering online that way.

Actually, the parents seeking this is really to show as an example for other teens to never attempt something like this.

 

This is of course a sad and disturbing story and the guys should certainly face their day in court for the assault. And yes, if it was some obese girl getting cyber-bullied, Yahoo certainly wouldn't care.

It does seem the parents refuse to acknowledge their part in the upbringing the child. She went to a party and proceeded to pass out, for whatever reason. This is by no means an excuse for the attackers. Sure, this is a common thing for teenagers to go to parties, but the whole "everyone else is doing it" is not a pass in the event something bad happens. We all make common bad moves, but its not an excuse if it ever catchs up with us.
I really do not get the whole cyber-bullying thing. Again, this is another choice that could have been avoided by simply turning off the computer.

I am not blaming the girl for any of her actions and suggesting she had what was coming. The parents should have been more in tuned to their daughters life. Suggesting there should be homicide charges further shows how out of touch they are with the situation. None of us know the reality of the situation, but it really seems the parents choose not be involved with her daily life.

 

Yes, that could possibly be there motivation. But like Space Ghost said above, if the parents were more in tune with their daughters life, this whole situation could have been avoided. To me, it kind of falls into the whole "parents not wanting to take responsibilities" thing. Like when parents get mad at teachers for disciplining their child instead of disciplining their jerk kid. Stuff like that drives me nuts.
