I just can't imagine what that poor young girl must be going through. I pray to God that she does not blame herself.

The girl was defiant and has a lot to learn. (Did you get the 15K?)

I sincerely hope she DOES blame herself. And learns a lot. She was defiant, she was angry and head-strong, and acting on that kind of self-righteousness often leads to very dire consequences. She learned it young and the hard way. She is NOT an innocent victim of this, imho.
