I hate people. (Sex Crime).

Only if they had any idea that gang rapists frequented the school.
Thinking your friend went home early is not a crime. Buddy systems? Unless you are in a lake or Baghdad, why the hell should you need a posse for protection?

Who said posse? All she would have needed to do to make sure her friend was safe was have an agreement that when said friend left she would come let her know. This allows that if suddenly friend is gone then something is very very wrong.

It's like when your a kid you call your mom let her know you made it safely. It's not a big deal to do. Also basic self defense should be a requirement in gym classes.

We don't live in a 50's sitcom where nothing bad ever happens. We live in the real world and 9 times out of 10 nothing bad will happen but if your not watching that 10th time your gonna kick yiourself

I live in a world where 999 out of a 1000 times nothing bad happens to sensible people in sensible situations.
As an adult I don't have to tell anyone where I'm going. If it makes someone more comfortable, then ok. I just don't see it as a necessity.

Then you live in a fantasy land or are extremely lucky, I'm a sensible person (usually ) I can take care of myself fairly well and in sensible situations I've still had to deal with shit that would have turned bad very quickly.

We are talking about teenagers not adults. Plus if no one knows where you are and doesn't realize something bad happened to you then it is your own fault.

You take the precautions you feel you should take but you shouldn't be mad later if they weren't enough because you feel someone else should have been holding your hand.

Getting attacked is NEVER the victim's fault. You shouldn't frequent places in which you need such overt precautions for safety, in my opinion.

I wasn't saying it is but you can't be mad at a third party for not taking precautions you yourself were unwilling to take.

Also unfortuantly I don't want to live my life locked in my room so I can avoid the possibilty of something happening.

I think we're making erronious assumptions about each others point.
I wouldn't be mad at someone for not taking precaustions I wouldn't take. I'm not even sure I know what you mean.

There is a big difference between living in a locked room and taking paranoid precautions. We should refrain from straw-manning each others arguments like I just did...

Flyn I was never really implying you would be angry. I was talking about the friend of the victim who got mad at the administration for not taking more precautions.

My point was that in life you live how you yourself choose, I wouldn't tell my friends I was taking off either and I wouldn't expect them to get mad at anyone else for not following me or keeping an eye on everywhere I might go.

Ok, then we agree. Peachy.
