Teens are often stupid, sometimes fatally so. But, not often is it so brutally cruel, at the hands of others. She was a pretty girl, but naive and willful. She was going to Myrtle Beach, whether her parents wanted her to go or not. She went. She encountered the wrong people there.
Exactly right. I doubt that there is any teen who hasn’t made a stupid mistake, but usually they manage to escape serious consequences. This poor girl didn’t.
