Survived liver xplant at 5 yrs old, bullied at school b/c of the scars. why were these kids not celebrating her life? She cried and pleaded with her mother to stay home from school.
Unfortunately, kids are not alone in the constant bullying of other children; adults are more than happy to do it, too. In another context, I am reminded of Lou Holtz’ comment admonishing his players “Don’t tell others your troubles; 80 percent don’t care and the 20 percent that do care actually are enjoying the fact you have troubles.” Its the 20 percent that do the bullying of all ages that scare me. The churches need to stress this, but unfortunately, they are losing their audience. Without the slightest evidence, I would imagine what happened here is she met this guy online, found he was the first to say nice things and be interested in her, and decides she will do anything to meet him. I would suspect it may have been an accident on his part then in a panic he convinces a girlfriend to help him cover up, but it in no way excuses an adult contacting a 13-year old nor burying the poor girl in a ditch in some forest. My heart goes out to three families in this situation; they must be devastated.
