At the downtown rally Sunday, Miranda Garcia, a sixth-grader, stood near the adults holding a sign supporting the German and Williams' families.
"I knew them, like I’d see them, but I’ve never met them,” she said of German and Williams, who were eighth-graders.
She used to visit the Delphi Historic Trails with a friend who liked to hike them, but she said she won't go any more.
Asked why she won't go onto the trails, she said, "Because I could get hurt, and my mom would be searching for me, and she would be really scared."
