I think often about the VAWG cases that I know of. Those that have made it to the news, I suppose, Joanna Yeate’s in particular haunts me, for there goes any amongst us that showed an ounce of festive neighbourliness. There are two other cases that haunt my thoughts and I just want to put them here so that they may not be forgotten, when I am gone.
there was a case in the UK in 00s where 2 teenage girls were kidnapped, held for a period of time by multiple men who sexually assaulted them but also made the girls sexually assault each other. They were both taken to woods and shot but one of the girls survived and ultimately escaped having been left for dead.
there was a case in the US that I read about in a paper or magazine in the uk around 2015. A child was thrown off a bridge in the middle of the night having been wrenched from the warm embrace of her grandmother by her father who knew full well how his daughter feared the dark and the water and hated the cold.
i cannot remember your names, girls, but i remember you.
