Underage drinking leads to another raped victim


Lately in the news there have been several rape cases, due to young female drinking under the age and their fellow peers taking advantage of them.

No one want to wake up the next day after a party, to find out they was rape and have no knowledge this horrible event happened.

In a recent case in California, a teenager girl woke up after a party to find drawing on her body and private area. She later found out that pictures of the event was posted on social sites, and shown to other students at her school.

The incident happened at an unsupervised house party in Saratoga, California, in September, but the three 16-year-olds were arrested Thursday, said Santa Clara Sheriff's Office spokesman Jose Cardoza.

After learning that photos had been posted on the Internet, the 15-year-old Potts wrote in an online post that her life was ruined. A few days later, she took her own life.

The three unidentified boys face two felony and one misdemeanor charge of sexual battery, Cardoza said. Formal charges will come next week.

As a whole we have to bring awareness to underage drinking. Teenagers don’t realize alcohol has an age requirement for a reason. Not to say, women over the age of 21 haven’t been rape, due to consuming to much to drink.

This is as horrible event that’s becoming more current in the news and in today’s society. Many rape victims doesn’t come forward and speak out. In recent case the rapist are trying to humiliate the victims by posting pictures online or sharing them with friends. In this case, she was raped and unfortunately she took her own life.

As parents, you have to supervise your kids. However, in today’s times it’s hard to keep up with teenagers and the things they do. Many parties teenagers attend are unsupervised, where they are drinking alcohol, smoking weed, and taking mollies.

It want be easy, but we must rise to the challenge. Let’s take back our streets and our kids.
