I know what your thinking but people really can mature at different rates. If she was telling people she was 17 going on 18 then I infer she must be an early bloomer.
And if she is, so what. How is that relevant?
"If she was telling people she was 17 going on 18 ..."
According to the reports that is not what happened - everyone in the apartment complex knew she was eleven. What these animals did is beyond disgusting - saying they are animals is an insult to animals. They were all black and she was white but the national news media has turned a blind eye. I guess if your a black hooker in your mid 20's then the media would put it on the national news. Sad commentary on our society and the political correctness/tolerance that allows evil to spread.
