There's a Facebook page: "Expel the three girls who caused Phoebe Prince to commit suicide" Over 26,000 people have joined thus far.

That 2nd article is heartbreaking. I've been in her shoes in high school... and I've also been on the other side. Kids are cruel and sometimes it's not the parents. My parents didn't raise me to treat people like that. We hounded a girl in front of her class, in front of a teacher and that teacher did nothing. Now that I look back, it was so horrible.

I think it'd be a great idea for the girls to see her autopsy photos.

I feel so much for her little sister. To see the final incident and find her sister like that. I do see it to be somewhat fortunate that she is too young to attend that high school, could you imagine facing those people on a daily basis, knowing what they did?

I bet those girls will be very popular at the women's correctional center, for very different reasons. This is one instance where the punishment might actually fit the crime, to be relentlessly taunted, name called, and harassed.

The names of those charged so far are out there in some of the articles. The photos can be found at myfoxdc.com by googling images, "Phoebe Prince South Hadley".

I'm amazed that we're just hearing about this now. I'm horrified that these hateful people are so callous!

ETA: Yes, the boys are being charged with statutory rape.

Where does the rape come in? The senior guy she dated? Unless he was in cahoots with the bitch squad, I don't think he should be charged.

It was probably statutory, which is the same as forceful rape for some if not all states, IIRC. If not feel free to correct me GC legal eagles.

So I guess I should being by saying i'm specifically talking about where I am, obviously the law might be different where this girl is at.

With that said, assuming this guy is no older than 18, it wouldn't be considered statutory rape. For it to be considered statutory, the age difference has to be over 3 years. Their age difference isn't enough to consider it statutory.

So is it not considered rape at all?

If she consented to it, then probably not. It would just be like two people consenting to have sex.


I only know about the age difference thing because a friend of mine had to go through that in HS. She got pregnant with her bf's baby, and the mom tried to have him arrested for statutory. The police wouldn't do anything because there wasn't technically over a 3 year age difference. (she was 16, he was 19)
