A 12-year-old Wisconsin girl who police say was repeatedly stabbed by two classmates trying to curry favor with a fictional horror character has been released from the hospital, the victim's parents said Friday night.

The girl narrowly survived being stabbed 19 times. A spokeswoman for the girl's family issued a statement Friday saying the girl was released from Waukesha Memorial Hospital.

"She is excited to be out of the hospital, see her pets and continue along the road to recovery. Our family is extremely grateful for the outpouring of support and love from not only the local community, but from around the nation, and the world," the statement said.

The title should probably be changed. Those were not friends.

That's the way I see it too. With friends like that who needs...

Two commas would do it.

Very few writers or editors know how to properly use commas these days.

Or would that be commae?

Unrestricted access to the internet by children and a crime such as this should weigh heavily upon the parents of the perps.

At least one of the parents of one of the perps is a raving psycho lunatic. He should be castrated, locked in irons and tossed into the hole for the rest of his short and miserable life.

Agreed, not long after Youtube came out, I enjoyed it a little as a 23-year-old, but when I thought about having a wife and children in my house I came around to figure that I would blacklist youtube.

As for parents, some parents nowadays really make me wonder if they even bother checking in or even asking their kids what they are doing. IMHO, a computer should be a shared family tool, not one for each child. Same with a TV, have a shared TV in the family room, so that way I can hear or catch a glimpse at whatever is being watched.
