Posting here for traffic and support. It happened on Friday, on her way home from college. It's a specialized subject college a few towns over so none of her friends go there and she doesn't know anyone there, least of all ones who travel home the same route as her. So she dealt with it completely on her own. It's a huge town with a huge train station and several platforms, and it happened around 4:30 while she was waiting for her train. She said it was 2 lads about her age who threatened to knife her if she didn't hand her stuff over. She didn't even have anything worthwhile, no cash and a 3-year-old cracked phone. Not that it stopped them, they've also done off with her 2 weeks of coursework and her college lanyard. Bastards. Worst of all there were plenty of commuters about but none of them helped her after the incident even though DD said she was hyperventilating.
She doesn't want to get the train today (understandably) so DH is driving her. This can't happen forever though as DH had to call into work and say he's going to be late, and I am not able to drive. I don't know what to do, she's fucking terrified.
