Onlookers laughed, took pictures and even joined in Saturday night during the two-hour gang rape of a semiconscious 15-year-old outside her homecoming dance at Richmond High, police said Monday.

This story is exactly why I believe it is so important to teach our children to stand up for what it right, to take action when they see something wrong.
Our children learn from the lives we lead. If we choose not to become involved, we have chosen to teach this same behavior to our children and we become no better than a pack of animals.

No one called police until word of the ongoing rape spread to a house party in the city's North and East neighborhood, where an appalled partygoer felt obligated to phone in the rumor.

It saddens me beyond belief that it took so long for someone to stand up and say, this is sooooo wrong. How many people simply walked away?
My deepest respect goes out to the partygoer who didn't even see the attacks yet called police based on what they had heard.
We have to stand up. We have to make a difference . . .
