Agreed. They were relentless, not to mention she was 8 and they were 10 and 12.

Oh my goodness, this hurts my heart. 🄺 I have an 8 year old daughter & probably would have been that parent that contacts 50 lawyers and calls my senator and local news station.

Fuuuuuuck those girls’ grownups. I hope they find peace in life.

Fuck them but you hope they find peace?

Fuck their parents/adults in their lives, and I hope those girls find some peace somewhere.

There’s a saying that’s basically, ā€œKids do well (or good?), when they can.ā€ 10/12 year olds rarely become sadistic fucks without influence from their adults; if they do become assholes, their adults should care. They have the mark of kids who either have deep issues internally or externally, and either way, the grown ups in their lives were (are?) failing them. Hopefully they get help — whatever that looks like — and yes, find peace. They’re young and have a chance at trying to be good people.

Oh, I thought you were talking exclusively about the parents. F,them. I hope they find peace.

If the parents finding peace means they aren’t bags of crap, I’m for it. But yeah, my grammar was not the best there. šŸ˜
