This article felt weirdly exploitative to me. Like, leave the young woman alone to heal in peace.
Totally agreed. “Let’s describe her physical appearance multiple times in detail while only mildly blurring her photos” Seems like they are reaching for content.
The parents are sharing these images for the first time ever, because they say their daughter wants her story heard. They say she is just not ready to do it herself.
It’s kind of amazing they managed to grab a 15 year old out of a crowded stadium. The fact that they’re doing that is newsworthy. More details on the grabbing part would have been helpful (but also likely embarrassing).
Educate your kids on what to do in situations like this.
The Morrises say their daughter is sad about what happened to her but also strong. She does not have a victim’s mentality. And she is not angry.
Ugh… That sounds pretty toxic. People who use the phrase “victim mentality” often dismiss feelings of sadness and anger. The range of emotions this young woman is feeling must be vast and likely include anger.
It’s not clear from the “article” (really just a description of photos) whether she is getting professional help or not but I hope so.
Yeah!
