Sarah, how's your sis?

There was an update from earlier this morning here @ DST. It sounds like she's doing amazingly well, all things considered. The police aren't doing much, though, which is rather disheartening.
 
Thanks for posting the link Joan!

That's horrible that the police aren't doing much. I would definitely get a lawyer and get those tapes and go to the media. If they attacked a teenager in the middle of the day there's no telling what they might do next. :(
 
Thank you so much sweet for thinking of us and Joan for updating!! Its been really rocky but she seems to be in very good spirits. We all went and spent time with her yesterday. Her face looks well aside from the swelling and bruising around her eyes and nose. The ent wants it subside a little bit more before they do the surgery but she goes back in today to recheck everything.

Like I said before its the lack of motivation with the police thats really disheartning. I just dont understand why they aren't on the ball. Not only for my sister and familys sake but for the next victim. They may not be so lucky!! The shoppe owner my sister got jumped out in front doesn't want to release the tapes for some odd reason but we learned to day that he is known for illegal practices such as selling cigarettes to minors and such so my mom thinks hes trying to cover his ass. Its really frustrating however that they have such a lack of humanity and aren't interested in helping bring justice!! My sister has been through hell and deserves AT least that much! My bestfriends sister also mentioned her friend was assualted by a group of people in that same spot!! When is enough enough?? I am thinking of contacting the media as im shocked there was NOTHING about it. The town my sister lives in and I grew up in fairly small and theyd ont get much media attention :(

Anyhow here was my sister on the day she was attacked and then yesterday at my grandmothers. I am so sorry if these are graphic. I just want to give you an idea of how well she is doing.

Shes in really good spirits so I am glad and proud I have such a strong incredible sister

Thank you again girls!

Thank you again for thinkign of us! Hugs!
 
sorry to here that about the police and the shop owner that really sucks...and great for her for being so strong!!!
 
Oh, man, I have tears in my eyes, Sarah! How can anyone do that to someone?!

Seriously, go to the media. Go to the police and make a huge fuss as to why they haven't taken those tapes from the store as well. The police were useless when my nephew was jumped too (I mentioned it in your other thread here). The circumstances were different with him and we didn't want to involve the media and make him a further target, but it was so frustrating. My brother asked them, "Aren't you the least bit concerned what adult non-students are doing hanging out on schoolgrounds? Why are they there? Are they selling drugs? Picking up young girls? Isn't that something you want to know?" They just shrugged and said they don't have the manpower to be at the schools all the time. When my brother pressed the issue she used the excuse that, "Well, your son did shove back." Um, hello?!? Should he just take his freakin' beating quietly without any attempt to defend himself? And how do you know that he shoved back? Because he told you! Why would he tell you that if he had anything to hide?! Grrrrr, so frustrating.

Like I said, we didn't pursue the media, because we felt it would've been more horrifying for my nephew than the actual incident, and likely would make him more a target than help the situation. But in your sister's case, the media should definitely hear about this. Get them focusing attention on that store and how there's been more than one attack there and the storeowner doesn't want to cooperate. Put some heat on him and on the police to do something about it. I swear they see that it's teenagers and assume they did something to bring it on and it's so unfair. Don't let them get away with apathy!
 
Oh Sarah! That makes me so sad and angry! Shame on that shop owner and the police!! I am glad that your sister is being strong!! I would def contact anyone who would listen and make them do something about this! ((HUGS))
 
your dear baby sister. i am so proud of her for handling this like a champ. she's amazing and so are you for loving her and being so supportive. she will heal up and she will be fine. thank the lord that she seems to be healing up fabulously mentally as well.

sarah...bring those sob's to justice. go to the media. we all support you and are rooting for you!
 
Still praying for you all, Sarah.
Tricia is so beautiful and strong and obviously it's the beauty which no thing like this can destroy. You're a wonderful family!
I really hope the police wakes up.
Hugs!
 
Oh wow Sarah! I'm in tears here! I can't believe how sick some people can be! Your sister is one gorgeous girl! Sounds like she's strong too!!! (((((HUGS))))) Prayin for ya girl!
 
OMGosh!!! That is just absolutely horrible!!!!!!! She is such a beautiful girl!!!! I would definitely go to the media. I would also seek the advise of an attorney. You may have some repercussions against the store owner if they do not cooperate in releasing their videos. I would at least check it out. And stay on top of the police!!! Call them every single day. Make them do something. That is what your tax payments go for!!!!!!!!!! IT'S THEIR FREAKIN' JOB TO MAKE SURE THE COMMUNITY IS SAFE!!!
 
Ohhh Sarah!
What a gorgeous sister you have, to think that someone would do this for THREE smokes is amazing!
 
Sarah, those brought tears to my eyes. I've got nothing more to add that's any better than what's been said in this thread really, but get hold of the media, call as many that will listen. The lawyer sounds like a very good idea,too.
Bless her for holding up as well as she has so far.
 
OH MY, those pics just made me cry. :( I can't believe there are people out there that can do this. It just kills me. That's great to hear that she is feeling okay with all the poor girl has been through.

I agree with Joan, I'd be fighting to get something done. Esp. get on the police about getting those tapes from that store.
 
Oh Sarah!!! Those pics were sooooo upsetting! I am so sorry that this happened to her, the poor dear! She is beautiful and sounds incredibly strong. I am thinking of you guys still and sending lots of prayers.
 
Glad to hear your sister is doing better. She is beautiful and I hope her spirit will stay strong through this.

That's quite maddening that the police and store owner aren't doing more. It's so scary to think that anyone could be attacked anywhere anytime :(.
 
OMG Sarah.. Looking at the after picture just breaks my heart.. I can not believe that the police aren't doing anything.

You guys are in my thoughts every day and please keep us posted if anything else happens
 
I am so sorry the cops are being useless. I think it's ridiculous, and I'm really ticked off. I would go to the media for sure.

She is beautiful, and I know with all the support she has, she will come out just fine. I'll be thinking of you all. ((hugs))
 
OMGosh! The photos really make this entire thing real to me. I never doubted it for a minute - but bless her heart!! No one should have to go through that!
 
OMG Sarah!!!! Your poor wee sister!! That is totally shocking!
I cant believe the police are dragging their feet and that shop owner needs to be forced to hand over those tapes!

She is truly Beautiful and I'm sure she will get over this!

Hugs to you huni xx
 
Sarah, when I think of these photos my heart just aches. I so hate that she had to go through this and the impotence of the police at the moment makes it all worse. I really hope they are more proactive in seeking justice for T and any future victims. If everyone is comfortable with it, I think it's not a bad idea to get some media attention here, advocate as much as possible. And you know you'll have our help and support if you need it!

But I'm so happy to hear her spirit hasn't been broken and that she is weathering this so well so far. She's truly a beautiful person inside and out and I just know that she'll come through this even more beautiful and strong.

Still praying...
 
Sarah she is absolutely beautiful. I'm sorry the cops aren't doing anything. Maybe a hint of the media being involved could put some fire under their feet and get things moving a bit? Unless of course y'all just don't wanna deal with it anymore. That's a tough situation.

Here Here! I agree
 
Sarah, my heart still goes out to your sister and your family. I PM'd you at DigiShop Talk about a small bit of help I may be able to provide, but at the very least I am providing my prayers and positive thoughts for her to heal well, physically and mentally.
 
So hard to look at her picture, but even harder to believe that the store owner won't turn the tapes in! Can't the cops get a search warrant and take the tapes as evidence? How frustrating that nothing is happening and all this time is going by. I think you should go to the media, especially with her beauty, they will give some air time to her and her story. Take advantage of the media's bias for beautiful people, will ya?!

I'm glad to see though, that's she on her feet and around her family. And her friends spending the night with her will make her feel more safe. I hope she keeps healing the way she does!
 
Oh, wow, Sarah! I'm just SO SO sorry about your sister!! I know how much she means to you and it is just horrible that happened.

In regard to the shop owner, it could also be that he fears retaliation if he were to release the tapes and it leads the police to the people who did it. If you do go to the media make sure that don't use your name or your sisters name. Honestly, you should do what you can to seek justice but just be careful!!

Lots of hugs and kisses!!
 
so sorry that happened to her and I do hope you go to the media and they MAKE that shop owner give up those tapes, I don't care what else is on them, they should at least have the right to see who attacked your sister...and YES she is a very brave girl~
 
Thank you again laides, they are taking her back to the ent today as they think the swelling as FINALLY subsided enough. Shes super nervous so I know it will be hard to stay focused on anything today. Im probably gonna be scrapping to keep my mind off of things.. We were in New london yesterday after my kids pediatrician appointment and drove by where it happened for the first time cause its on the way to my moms and I just lost it. I am having a really hard time with it. My husband is trying to be supportive but hes a logical type and says that my mom is going through a lot and I have been pushing the media on her and what not and me and my mom are butting heads a little. My mom is afraid that having this all over the news my traumatize my sister more where I feel like it will pressure the polic and shoppe owner to cooperate and bring justice and if not just that SAFETY to the general public and make people aware that there are dangerous people and this is happening to more then just my sister. UGH Im rambling. Im so sorry to go on and on. Wes thinks I need to get help myself because I have been in a funk and cant get this out of my head, its all I have been thinking about but I just have a huge feeling of guilt. I have always been there to protect her. Actually we are a one car family and I was supposed to take the kids down to my moms that morning to spend time with them while Wes was at work. My mom was going to come up and pick me and the kids up and Wes forgot to take the car seats out so I had them when my mom came and got me so I had to call my mom and tel her I couldnt make it. I keep telling myself if I would have went down and did it myself the night before Tricia wouldnt have been there at the store, she would have been at my moms with me. I know that sounds dumb but I cant get it out of my head. Anyhow thank you all for being such a wonderful support system. I truly love you all. Hugs!
 
((((Hugs)))) Sarah. Please try not to beat yourself up...leave the what ifs behind and focus on the healing. I continue to pray for physical and emotional healing for your sister and your family. I also pray that the storeowners and police have clarity in the situation and do the right thing in their part of the investigation before more people are hurt.
