Reply to comment by dream_bean_94 in 14-Year-Old Raped by Shippensburg Sheetz Employee. by YonderMTN

It's a kid doing something stupid. I was a kid and I've done something stupid, as I bet you did. What she wasn't doing was giving permission for this to happen.

Hell no, we weren't saints by any means but none of us were this out of control at 14.

Permission given or not (although I wouldn't put it past some parents, I personally knew many who bought alcohol for their teens) no 14 year old should even have the opportunity to end up blacked out in a gas station bathroom. Not victim blaming her for the assault, it's absolutely not her fault she was assaulted. But IMO 14 year olds shouldn't be running the streets alone, their parents should know where they are at literally all times.

I know a few kids that drank, passed out and threw up at 14. We were this out of control, you're wrong.

My point was that it’s not ok or normal. Sure, it happens. But IMO kids who act like this are missing something at home.

I wasn’t missing anything at home. I was just an idiot sometimes. That’s my point.
