Jeana (DP) said:Makes sense, especially when you consider that we've heard that she may have actually told them she was older (16 maybe??). I can't though, bring myself to the place where any of them would think that she wanted to have any "sexual contact" with 10 OF THEM though and if she wasn't willing, I would think it would have been pretty apparant to them in a short amount of time. One day I hope we hear how she came to be in the group home and why she ran away from there. I just think as a society, we need to take better care of our kids - all of the kids. I see nothing in this little girl's future that is sunshine and roses. How will she possibly overcome all she's gone through in 11 short years??
Who knows what kind of life this child had. Obviously there was some trouble in her background or she wouldn't have been in a group home. She told one or more of the suspects that "she was turning 18 soon" - that in today's paper. I agree that she wasn't consenting to group sex with 10 or so, but I suspect she wasn't plucked off her porch while playing with her Barbies either. This poor child needs lots of help, or she will end up in serious trouble.
