Crabby Kitten Posted May 3, 2014 #2 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Brave little boy. The girl should get lots of support now and hugs to her. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatFromHell Posted May 3, 2014 #3 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Brave little boy. The girl should get lots of support now and hugs to her. Yes but it wouldn't surprise me if she ends up getting sued for being in possession of a vagina. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amaterasu Posted May 3, 2014 #4 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Oh that is just horrific! Something that family are never going to reconcile with. Poor children, my heart goes out to their loved ones 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regeneratia Posted May 3, 2014 #5 Share Posted May 3, 2014 People you come across every day are sometimes heroes. My heart moves with that hero as he travels on, wishing him many great things. What a guy! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatFromHell Posted May 3, 2014 #6 Share Posted May 3, 2014 (edited) I suppose the real shame now is all the money in the world will be spent trying to "rehilibate" the rapist and the little girls needs will be forgotten. If this happened in Britain it wouldn't even have made the news unless it happened in London. Edited May 3, 2014 by SheWomanCatTypeThing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+susieice Posted May 4, 2014 Author #7 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Boy praised as having the heart of a lion. This article says he was 8 yrs old. A 16 yr old has been charged with the crime. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/05/04/virginia-teen-charged-in-attack_n_5262599.html?ncid=fcbklnkushpmg00000021 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Camarel Posted May 12, 2014 #12 Share Posted May 12, 2014 That's awful . I agree with the sentiments, the kids a hero and if i was from the US i'd sign that petition. One of the most touching things to me is this - The church held a vigil for Marty last weekend. A neighbor broke down as she stepped into the candlelight, surround by Marty’s family members and hundreds of friends and strangers. It was the mother of the teenage suspect. She quickly got swept into a hug, said Prince, who was in the crowd. Everyone knew she was hurting, too. Even though it wasn't the mothers fault in the slightest, i can't say i'd be as compassionate that soon after it happened. Massive to Martys famiily for that. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
