Anyone see the episode of Law and order SVU that mirrored Chris Brown/ Rianna It was good, and again brought up many points that we have discussed including social media. Seems Days is the NBC show that is not saying NO to abuse.
Mariska Hargitay will be tweeting today for NOMORE Day I will be forwarding the link below to Days /Sony

WHAT IS NO MORE?

You’ve likely seen the pink breast cancer ribbon or the red AIDS ribbon.
NO MORE is a groundbreaking new symbol designed to transform our response to domestic violence and sexual assault, end the stigma, shame and isolation, galvanize millions into action and radically increase the awareness of domestic violence and sexual assault everywhere

@what'sthatnoise?,

I once read about a police woman talking to a group of high school students about rape. One of the girls told the police woman that if a woman gets pregnant then then the guy truly loved her because babies are only formed if love is involved. She was thunderstruck by that!

All I can say on the subject is THIS STATEMENT IS JUST NOT TRUE....

 

[what'sthatnoise?]

Rape should never be shown as romantic, funny or no big deal even if it is fiction, because it is still seen that way in the real world

Murder is treated as a serious crime in the real world, while a 16-year-old girl who was watched, video-taped, and photographed being abused and dragged unconscious is being called a WHORE.

If she was being stabbed to death people would have been horrified. No one who witnessed what happened saw anything wrong with an unconscious girl being stripped and assaulted.

She and her family are getting death threats because two of her attackers were found guilty.

many more players were involved, either as participants or as onlookers who tweeted and disseminated photographs of the assault on social media networks but did nothing to stop it.

Saccoccia, pronounced SOCK-otch, told the principal and school superintendent that the players who posted online photographs and comments about the girl the night of the parties said they did not think they had done anything wrong. Because of that, he said, he had no basis for benching those players.

"She didn't affirmatively say no."

At that third party, the girl could not walk on her own and vomited several times before toppling onto her side, several witnesses testified. Mays then tried to coerce the girl into giving him oral sex, but the girl was unresponsive, according to the player who videotaped Mays and the girl.
The player said he did not try to stop it because “at the time, no one really saw it as being forceful.”
At one point, the girl was on the ground, naked, unmoving and silent

a teenager dragged unconscious from party to party, and assaulted multiple times over the course of several hours, while participants and bystanders laughed.

The violent, curse filled threats aimed at the victem:
