@i23yvi3 So sick of hearing that kids do these awful things! 16 is an adult. Let's start treating teens as such so they learn to behave as adults with common decency and follow the laws of the land. Kids don't do these crimes!
A teenage boy seriously assaulted a girl.
People immediately reminded everyone that he was young and had his whole life ahead of him.
The girl was also young.
She also had her whole life ahead of her.
But somehow his age became a reason to protect his future, while hers became something she was expected to recover from.
We need to stop treating a boy's potential as more important than a girl's trauma.
