Posted - Nov 05 2009 : 11:10:42 AM Sea this is from the story:
"Capt. George Hartz of the Mount Vernon Police Department said investigating officers don’t have much to go on. They saw only minor scratches on the victim, but she complained of back pain and was transported to the hospital"
she was having back pain and was transported. Hope they find who did this! Will be keeping the girl in my thoughts and prayers.

Did you watch Criminal Minds last night?????
As far as the time, wouldn't it have been dark by then? Maybe that is why my parents always made us kids come in the house before dark. In no way am I saying that it was her fault or anything like that, but kids need to use common sense. Was she alone? Why was she hanging around at dusk/dark by that area of the park? Does she know basic self defense? You said she was parked, why didn't she just leave the park if she felt in danger?
jdial reported that they "broke 2 of her vertebra in her back" yet the story the police gave is just a few scratches. Quite a difference there. Maybe the story is not adding up to the cops. Just a thought is all. |

Posted - Nov 05 2009 : 06:53:50 AM The attack is bad enough...but do NOT miss the time this took place...
I just remembered several years ago...my daughter was assaulted on Gambier...not far walking distance from the park...it was about 6pm when it happened...daylight too...they got her purse.

ok im going to put some light on this subject i am the mother of the 16 year old girl that got attacked at memorial park........ first off she gave to police what information she could to help them we feel she was knocked out because there was a black out period we also gave them details leading up to that day of who we thought could have done this too her all though we cant prove it but at the same time she is scared to death .........she is 100% sure the name she gave is the person who did this to her but ya know they just cant go knocking of doors and arresting people with out proof. i am very upset over this situation because im telling you they meant to do damage to her and if she hadnt come too i feel some more serious things could have come from this i want all parents of all children to be aware that things like this is happening and to make your kids aware of the dangers out there mainly young daughters. my daugher is a very like young lady on honor role and a very responsible person and who would do this to her is beyound my knowledge. i guess my hole point of this is if anyone was at memorial park on oct 27 between hours of 5 and 6 pm or you have heard kids brag about what they did i would appericate it if you would forward all information to the police dep. so we can get some justice she is suffering with emotions,pain, and wondering of disbelief i pray that this dont happen to any other child like i have said if anyone knows anything please let police know

Posted - Nov 04 2009 : 9:47:34 PM There are thugs in this community..and as long as they are allowed to get away with it..they will....
IF anyone knows anything...I hope they do go talk to the investigator...then I hope HE follows up...
Some of the way LE is handling some things around here...I dont have much faith in them..

Posted - Nov 04 2009 : 10:04:44 AM NO don't tell the police! All they'll do is slap the kid on the wrist and tell him not to do it again. Tell me! I will guarantee it won't happen again.

Posted - Nov 03 2009 : 6:25:39 PM I walk my dog often at Memorial Park - too bad I missed this. I will be much more vigilant. They don't seem to do much to bullies - this must change. |

Posted - Nov 03 2009 : 4:42:37 PM That's why I said there needs to be a good vigilante. Go watch the Punisher or Boondock Saints.

I could not agree more bmxtahoe. Most towns could use a good one. Where is Paul Kersey when we need him? It's incidents like this (if it is indeed accurate) that make me hope for the day when the uber liberals and their dreams of rehabilitaion are pushed back and we can get on with punishing people for their crimes. Call me cruel, sick, etc., but I worked in corrections and sex offender treatment for 11 years and rehabilitation is by and large an imaginary pipe dream. Say what you want, but unless you've been there, you can't understand.
Let's not make this a liberal vs conservative issue. The point of this post is that a girl was assaulted and for whatever reason the story is not being covered and the question is why??????
Whether offenders while in jail/prison get rehab/treatment doesn't mean diddly squat in this matter. We don't know whether the offenders who harmed her have been in prison before or if this is a new offense.
Just responding to a post by bmxtahoe. I disagree however, that the issue is whether or not it is reported in the local media. More important that this type of incident does not occur in the first place. Lack of concern regarding punishment/justice system by these criminals is what allows things like this to keep happening. There is not fear of the ramifications of breaking the law. While I agree that things like this should be reported, I disagree that it is the main issue.

Posted - Nov 03 2009 : 11:40:13 AM Apparently the police are too busy busting people for harmless pot. I don't think I've read where a marijuana plant beat up some 16 year old girl. But no, they'd rather terrorize someone that is growing something that mellows out people.
