You are so right. It's us standing between these three kids and a life of such pain and suffering that it is hard to imagine. It was bad enough for us and the charge (though very, very serious) was no where near as catastrophic in the aftermath. They will be registered as sexual offenders and never be able to lead a normal life. This has got to be stopped. I have never had any doubt that the same thing would have happened to my son, but for a witness 18" away from them -- and it still made it's way to a Preliminary Hearing with testimony that nothing happened and a witness who was prepared to testify that the AV in our case told him what she was going to do two weeks before it happened and a Coach our witness told cautioned my son to "Watch his back". Everyone in town knew what was going to happen -- except my son and us. Many, many phone calls to apologize for not stepping up and stopping her after she pulled the stunt, but once a police officer makes a mess of it, it's off to the races. To this day, now that I have it sealed and discharged, no one can believe what happened to us. That's why I have been pushing all of you and anyone who will listen to get this shut down or it will continue.
