TUBOB: Don’t Stone Girl Just Yet

RE: Girl lied about Ferris coach assault

Wow, nobody’s suggesting a public stoning or a witch’s drowning? I know many of you cro magnons would prefer to believe mental illness is simply brattiness, willful snotty behavior, but if this kid, who did this at 15, has mental health problems I’m quite uncertain how public humiliation and banning her from everything is going to teach her a thing except perhaps drive her to suicidal or other self destructive behavior. Maybe she is just an attention seeking brat, I really don’t know, except the world is full of attention seeking teenage brats and they don’t do things like this. Maybe she has a history of sexual victimization herself and maybe she doesn’t. But the spectacle of you pseudonymous raging villagers with your pitchforks and your torches is abhorrent/TUBOB.
