"Side Stories at the Lacrosse Case
Author: DurhamTRY
"My husband (Earl) and I (Wanda) were 2 of the sign carrying folks. We were briefly seen on the news last night. We thank ABC 11 for being one of the few media present to take us seriously. Underage drinking is our cause. If underage drinking wasn't involved, we might not have a Lacrosse issue to discuss. Local stats: Did you know that 44% of HS students drink alcohol and 22% of MS students drink alcohol? There was a 2nd alleged rape on Duke's campus about 3 weeks ago (?) 5,000 teens lose their lives in alcohol related automobile accidents each year. We've heard of 6 recently in the news but there have been others.
We want to help save lives. We want your help. Contact us for strategies on how to do just that.
I really do want to hear what you think of this issue as well. According to Ralph Hingson, School of Public Health, Boston University, (each year) 600,000 students are assaulted by another student who's been drinking;70,000 are victims of date rape; 100,000 say they were too drunk to know whether the sex they had was consensual.
