So much wrong...

Coming out a Detroit is this terrible story. After being sexually assaulted, the 14 year old victim was then the target of bullying by both her perpetrator and other students at her school. Like so many other bullying cases, social media was used, making the bullying a non-stop experience. Sadly, the victim committed suicide. Following her death, prosecutors dropped the charges against the perpetrator.

What!

There is so much wrong here:

• High schoolers bullying a victim for being assaulted. Points out just how much we need education about sexual violence in schools.
• Once again we see social networking used to harass someone. The use of social networks to bully makes the bullying far more constant, invasive, and public.
• Dropping a case because the victim passed away? A crime was still committed. To add to that, even more charges could be pressed. Depriving someone of a civil right through creating an unsafe learning environment? Harassing someone to the point of bodily harm? Simply dropping the case illustrates a lack of concern for bringing rapists to justice.

What are your thoughts on this case?
