poor kid! no one is safe anymore! Hope she is ok!!

Glad she will be ok..

A 16 year old boy!! it's disgusting he wants some serious treatment before being allowed out to do it to another little girl...the poor child, it doesn't bare thinking about!
It's a scary world for the youngsters these days..there doesn't seem to be any consequence for anything now and yobs and the like know they can get away with anything with just a slap on the wrist and told to behave in future..I worry for my young grandkids and what kind of world they're growing up into.

Dianne I agree. I have 6 granddaughters and I would seriously injure anyone who harmed them in anyway!

Awful to see this, I have 4 younger children myself and I will admit that I am wary about them going out and about on their own around the streets especially my eldest now that he is old enough to be able to do so, there are so many cruel people out there, it's awful.
