No, we don't walk away. But when we're holding on to something precious, we run.

Spell, I was just thinking that wrong needed to follow her friend's lead too.

I don't have anything useful to add (typical!  ) but I did want to let you know how sorry I am about your friend, @wrongdsideof30.  I think everyone has provided you will some wonderful information and I liked motherto2's suggestion of calling a woman's shelter to help guide you. |

It's a great pity the right of free speech isn't based on the obligation to say something sensible.

That sounds perfect, wrongside. I'm so sorry about your friend. What a nightmare this must be for her! I know she'll appreciate your caring gift, and your kindness in the face of what she's been through. My best wishes to her, and to her family and all her friends. Thanks, to you, for being such a sweet soul.  |

That's great about the chocolates Wrongside. She'll be touched that you remembered such a small thing, especially when others around her are naturally more concerned with what just happened and her recovery.

Is there anything that you can do for the parents? If this had happened to my child, I would be ready to murder someone. So I think the parents need a word/prayers also.

She won't get my card and chocolates until today, but I ended up talking to her on fb yesterday. She is very strong and has a ton of people rallying around her. She's going to be released from the hospital soon. She has to use a walker and there will be a nurse coming to her house daily. She has a long road to recovery and an emotionally exhausting trial ahead of her. She said all of the support she has received is giving her strength. I don't know how her parents are holding up. They are a very religious family, so hopefully their church is providing emotional/spiritual support. I just get sick when I think about this. She will continue to be in my thought and prayers. I hope her recovery is swift and they fry his ass. When something unthinkable happens, I think it's important to remember that verbalizing thoughts and feelings to the person involved may be cathartic for you, but not for the other person. Try to keep that sharing to the uninvolved, like us. |

I think the chocolates were a great idea. I'd try to stay in touch. I imagine invariably the level of support will decrease and she's got a long road to recovery ahead of her.
Sickos like this are why I support the death penalty. There is no rehabilitating some people.
