A friend of a friends daughter was attacked at Memorial Park, by several boys the other night, and they broke 2 of her vertrabra in her back...then today her father came over and said another girl was attacked..Has anyone heard anything about this?? I havent seen it in the paper or anything. Mind you these are 17yr old girls.

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.

Everything happens for a reason

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.

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.

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..

Benjamin Franklin Posted - Nov 04 2009 : 10:35:44 AM
out of curiosity what part of the park did this happen?
bmxtahoe 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.

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.

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.

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.
