Please try to be accurate in what you say....out of the 30 girls that have been suspended about 7 or 8 were the physcial, violent ones. 2 of them were involved w/ the feces thing. Don't assume b/c someone was suspended that every person there was involved in the ass kicking (I know that you're pretty much gulity if you don't step in to stop it, lets not get into that again, lol, I'm just saying that especially with all the news stories available, there's no reason to perpetuate false information.

With all due respect to those that weren't "physical" I think that Good Samaritan Laws could possibly come into play here? Any lawyer types on the board that would like to clarify this? I think that it could be argued that even those bystanders were involved by "cheering the other girls on" or pouring beer or by simply watchign and shouting things at the junior girls. Furthermore, if they didn't step in to stop the physical harm that was taking place. Even if some people were comforting the girls that were beaten, had they stopped it sooner, there might not have been a need to comfort any girl. I'm sorry, but one girl was hit in the head with a bat AND shot in the back with a paint gun several times? Another strangled with pig intestines, another girl had an ankle broken, and there were other various injuries. Seriously, what is the difference between something like this and a gan initiation? Is it different simply because it took place in "suburban America?" And some of these parents with their comments leave me dumbfounded to no end. I would like to see some of these people found guilty of criminal charges and possibly civil damages. Maybe the victims will go after their assailant's dependants (parents). It could put a whole different perspective on the way some of these parents think of the situation.
