    Youngsters nowadays are becoming more aggressive to some point that they can just do anything. As parents, we should be aware of our kids whereabouts especially our young teens. I have a 16-year old daughter and I make sure of her safety all the time. So I thought of looking up for safety application that would do so, and luckily, I read an article with cool safety application that alerts you when your kids in trouble and can even get escalated to the nearest 911 with just a click.

    What were the grandparents thinking, leaving an 8 year old alone with a 16 year old plumber working in their house. While the boy needs jail time, the grandparents need a major reprimand for their carelessness.

    The victim needs psychological debreifing as this is a very traumatic experience in her life. Even the teenage boy needs to be rehabilitated as he is still young. I mean put this boy in a rehabilitation center where he will be taught and guided accordingly to be a good citizen not in the prison. We still have hope in this boy to be a law abiding individual, depending on how will the proper authorities handle his case.

    Why withhold his name? He's 16 years old and to be tried as an adult.
    This sick pedophile needs to be castrated and put in jail for life!

    I just hope that the poor little girl makes a full recovery and she is not scarred by this terrible attack for the rest of her life.

    While not a given , to hit and attempt to rape a child at 16 means most likely some poor girl will lose her life to him in the next few years as his crimes inevitability escalate as he seeks the next high. Please don't tell us he will get bail.
