Parents of California raped teen beg: stop the violence (video)

Parents of California raped teen beg: stop the violence (video):

"The recent rape case in California has put into question why the school wasn’t more prepared to help the girl who was raped for two and a half hours last week.

The parents of the 15-year-old girl made a statement yesterday through their church pastor that they do not want the violence to continue, but yet would rather that people do something constructive with their anger about this situation. They suggested volunteering, or helping a neighbor, but to just do something constructive.

The police have stated that ten people were involved in the rape of the 15-year-old girl, and there were at least ten bystanders who watched. In California, a minor is considered a person 14 and under, so the bystanders cannot be charged in any wrong doing for not reporting the incident while it occurred."
