Has anyone out there experienced the following?
A 13 year old called Mary keeps a diary. She puts all her thoughts, angst, everything in this diary. One of the diary entries describes how she would kill a classmate who we will call Candy. It is offensive listing how she would shoot her, she drew a gun with blood, etc - you get the drift.
3 months go by and a so-called 'friend' called Mindy steals the diary from under Mary's clothes in a dresser drawer, copies the page, scans it onto the internet and gives it the Candy and tells everyone.
Candy's mother brings it to the police
The police bring charges against Mary
IS THIS CRAZY or is it me?????????? Mary did NOTHING, granted the diary entry was offensive but months had gone by after the entry. Mary does good in school, never was in any trouble, ever, she has her journal stolen, published on the internet, and she is brought up on charges????
To top it off, all the kids have made up and are talking
Any thoughts?
