Thank you, I agree with your comments.
My question was to the poster who made the comment that the girl was a slut. I was asking him/her how they came to that conclusion.
Of course these boys deserve far more than the punishment they are getting, the whole thing makes me sick! And as another said; this crap happens far more than we ever hear of.
IMHO no 16 year old girl is a "slut". I think it takes many years of slutty behavior to earn that title. 16 year olds often make bad decisions and turn out fine. Hopefully she will too.
I don’t know of an equivalent word in the English language for a male slut and therein is part of the problem. Males get every possible sexual encounter they can and it only enhances their reputations.
As a parent of 3 boys and 3 girls, I’m proud to say that at the least, morality was taught to them equally.
