Most of my sentiments of this event have already been expressed. The mother's refusal to press charges against the three girls may not be the right thing to do "legally", but let us remind ourselves that she is doing this in the best interests of her son. Right now, her main priority as a mother is to comfort her child and provide emotional support.
It's not uncommon for sexual assault or rape victims to decline pressing charges against the assailants or even to actually report the incident, and I don't expect any different in this situation. But, with the amount of press coverage this has received (as well as the actual evidence), I have no doubt that the girls will be charged with the sexual assault of a minor. Just not at this time.
As for the boy himself... I hope he gets whatever help he needs.
Now, with this having been said, I wonder two things.
a) What will feminists have to say of this?
and b) How long it will be before we see an episode of Law and Order: Special Victims Unit based on this incident?
I'm Not going to lie to you.
Ive ACTUALLY SEEN and episode of Law and order that played out EXACTLY like this.. I shall now explain the episode.
Okay some some 13 year old kid whose puberty as shit calls a girl ugly trying to impress a hot girl in his class.
Little does he know that the ugly girl is friends with the hot girl So they plan some kind of attack.
The hot girl pretends to take the kid into a back alley and say's she gonna Get it on with him.
