Alas, THIS will not help a bit:
http://abcnews.go.com/wire/US/ap20031015_1232.html SYRACUSE, N.Y. Oct. 15 — An 11-year-old girl apparently hanged herself in her bedroom after being raped by her father earlier in the day, police said.
Valerie Charlene Lucie was found dead on Sept. 30. Timothy Lucie, 46, was arraigned Tuesday on charges of rape and sodomy.
Lucie told police he raped the girl in the shower after threatening to cut her hair unless she did what she was told, authorities said.
"It's a case that leaves you numb," Sgt. Tom Connellan said.
Lucie recanted after meeting with his lawyer, Raymond Dague, who said Lucie gave the statement only after police told him he failed a lie detector test and threatened to take away his four other children.
The defense attorney said Lucie is wrongly accused.
The girl left no note, and her death has not officially been ruled a suicide. Medical examiners found no evidence of chronic sexual abuse, said District Attorney William Fitzpatrick.
"Our evidence indicates this was just one incident, that there was an assault and then for whatever reason in this poor little girl's head, she felt it appropriate to end her life," Fitzpatrick told WTVH-TV.
Valerie and her four brothers were home-schooled by their parents.
If convicted, Lucie faces up to 25 years to life on each charge. He was jailed on $20,000 bail.
Valerie and her four brothers were home-schooled by their parents. Valerie and her four-brthoers also watched tv, drank coke, and went to the movies. What possible reason would home-schooling be mentioned, in the context of this horrific crime, if the intent was to do anything but demonize home schooling?
I just called CBS and left my comments with a woman who did not come across as being too happy. The line was busy for several minutes (1 212-975-3247). I had asked them to do a comparison of homeschoolers vs. public schoolers when it comes to parental involvement, ritalin, testing, etc.
Are you going to list all the public-school kids that were killed last week by family members?
and then for whatever reason in this poor little girl's head, she felt it appropriate to end her life I love it!!
For whatever reason.
"Your honour, only God knows why, out of the blue, this girl decided her life was worth ending. We will simply never know."
This must be a joke.
