Here is where I read it, an article in People... http://www.people.com/people/archive/article/0,,20350702,00.html "That afternoon she plugged her phone into the wall—perhaps to show the world the text messages that had terrorized her. "

True. It may have been as simple as habit though. Get home, plug it in...

A short opinion article on Phoebe. Apologies if somebody already posted it and I missed it. http://www.irishcentral.com/opinion/Phoebe-Prince-was-thrown-to-the-wolves-90562519.html

I did read somewhere that she had left her phone on and had plugged it in (prehaps to show the texts she had been getting). If that is so then she probably did make inside the house.

She walked home the last day, and her house is so close to the school, I imagine she must have walked almost every day. It would have been very easy for them to target her both coming and going.

It's that same ireport thing at CNN that was posted here earlier.

Yes, because thinking about what we did not do brings regret, and with it facing up to failure. Whereas the opposite, living with what we do, now that's easier to rationalize as "its just how things are, I can't change them."

Every revelation to this story makes it worse. And there's vast amount hidden in the darkness still.

I think it was an impulsive, despairing decision made while she was home alone that afternoon. I think what is truely bothering me so much is that she most likely could have been talked out of it if any one of the legions of people who have been captivated by this story could pop back in time...

Like I mentioned in another reply just now, it was an idle thought that the dance make a nice target for torturing her. If she doesn't show, they get to gloat more. If she had, I have no doubt they'd have made it hell for her there. The Austin thing is likely a root reason for the second...

It was just an idle thought in regards to why it suddenly got so much worse. The dance was coming up, so it made a simple target for them to shoot for. Remembering that tweet/post making a threat about her at the dance is what triggered it.

No objections to him going with her, but they were on such a tear of tormenting her that this big dance might make a "goal" for them to drive her from. Just because it was coming up. Basically I'm just speculating as to why the sudden surge in abuse towards her.

That sounds kind of out there, especially the part where the author says she was pressured into sex to stop the bullying... I don't buy some random person on the 'net having info like that and it not spreading like crazy.

Could it be that they were intent on keeping her from going to that dance? There was that supposed "friend" of Phoebe's that made an insult and threat ~4 days before. Wasn't that threat about how Phoebe would get it if she tried to get with her man at the dance (I may have managed what I am...

LOL, I discovered him because a lot of the early music by Metallica referenced his stories and I wondered why they found him so interesting... and that probably dates me. :innocent: Okay, really leaving to work in the yard now...

I've seen some of those accounts too, and given the way they've closed ranks around these people, what with the Sean/Austin support groups and the *****ing about the MEDIA causing all these problems... they are insular. And Phoebe, the CAUSE of this in their minds, was definately an outsider...

Interesting point over on MassLive forum about Phoebe's lawyers going after the records of the bullies in return... http://www.masslive.com/forums/southhadley/index.ssf?artid=74087 The poster concerned_father2 points out that they might pull additional stat rape items for Sean/Austin from these.

I've been thinking that they did admit it when the police first talked to them. I don't know if the DA would risk a charge like this on just online posts or texting as evidence. It's also possible they admitted to sex with other girls as well. If the detailed documents for the second three...

No other families... we'd have seen it. When the one that did speak up those quotes from her caused a bombardment of news stories for the next couple of days.
