I have never before written it down like that.<br />BOOBS Maybe you are right but shouting at those animals and telling them they'd be on detention if they didn't cease raping may not have gone down too well.<br />KATHERINE Who knows - perhaps out of some kind of twisted shame the victim may have kept it all to herself - just lived with it. Many rape victims react that way even now.Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-54437619553302825702010-02-01T21:12:33.136+00:002010-02-01T21:12:33.136+00:00I'm sure your report was used and was part of ...I'm sure your report was used and was part of the police report confirming that she was a completely innocent party (which is, dreadfully, sometimes called into doubt) and she would have been given all the kindness and counseling and healing help that was available. What you did was immensely valuable and certainly the best course of action. Had you gone in, you may have been implicated, and your words would have had far less validity.<br />Or worse: I know a man who still bears a 5 cm disfiguring facial scar from a broken bottle - to no avail.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12453125929159161583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-3857869803761029522010-02-01T07:21:10.581+00:002010-02-01T07:21:10.581+00:00I'm not sure the older Pudding, one battle-har...I'm not sure the older Pudding, one battle-hardened into dealing with 30 odd yobs 30 times a week would've stayed sat down.<br /><br />I guess your lack of confidence at such an early age prevented you from doing anything.Bangkok Boothyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17254842147773311112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-32850049687540151492010-02-01T03:27:12.395+00:002010-02-01T03:27:12.395+00:00It is truly horrifying.

I can't make the day be anything but what it was, but I can share your pain as a friend. It tears me up so.
