Yay, Government...

18-Year-old Girl Tweets 144 Times before Committing Suicide (http://www.myfoxhouston.com/dpp/news/local/111108-18-year-old-girl-tweets-144-times-before-committing-suicide - broken link)

Quote:
"I remember telling my closest teacher and CPS and the police detectives,” she said. “I remember having to tell them everything."

"It is my understanding she made an outcry apparently a year ago in Williamson County up close to Austin about some allegations of sexual abuse," Brady said. "My understanding, that was looked into the sheriff's office there, the D.A'S office and a grand jury. There was no indictment issued."

That decision had a profound impact on Billasano. She tweeted:

"Weeks passed, then I got the call. They said sorry but there isn't enough evidence I hung up."
If there is one thing this story and the Penn State Child Rape Cover-up tells us is DON'T TRUST BUREAUCRACY TO DO THE RIGHT THING!

She Killed herself VIA twitter, how exactly did she manage that.

You'd think the government would be smart enough to know that everything posted on the internet is true, just like we know here.

Where were her friends and family? I find it strange how conservatives will always blame "the government" at any opportunity.

Is there evidence that she was abused? Last I read, it wasn't determined whether the abuse actually happened. However, this is a sad story either way.
