Why is the story of this poor girl so far down all the news websites?

Police have charged a woman for continually revealing the 16 year olds name on social media.

Thank you for understanding tomatoes. I am genuinely heartbroken and can't even be feeling a small amount of what the family will be. Her mother has posted that she is trying to be strong, she is so brave. I just wish there was something that could be done, but apart from donations, I can't think of anything. I just feel that that whatever positivity I could muster for the world has gone. And I've tried so so hard to see the positive in life for my own dd's sake. X

@Whatevszz there is also a much stronger link for child offenders having been abused themselves than there is for adult offenders.

Thanks Mrsjayy, it's terrible isn't it, not fair, for an ordinary decent young family to be thrust into the spotlight in such a cruel way. Is it wrong to talk about it online do you think? I don't want to make anyone more upset.

MrsJayy · 12/07/2018 09:46

I don't think it is wrong to speak about it I think watching what we say is the way to go but we are all aware it didn't happen to us so we are not making it about us. (if that makes sense)
