I found out more information about the 15 year old girl who was raped out side her homecoming dance. There is a law in Cali saying that it is illegal to not report a crime against a child, but the sad part is that the law only applies to child 14 and younger so the police are not allowed by law to arrest the people who did nothing but watch.

Also someone did call into the police, it was a 18 year old girl from the school who heard about from other people and she called into 911 and made the police aware when no one else would. she said she was proud of what she did and that she is not worried about being called a snitch. she also said that she was proud because if she didn't make that call that girl might have been left out there for who knows how long.

I'm happy that this girl was able to call in but it also makes me very mad that it someone who wasn't even there, who had only heard of what was going on was the one that called in and not someone who had actually watched it.

Who knows maybe after this incident people will be more willing to stand up and make a difference if they witness something.
