[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 506468, member: 1233"] (((((HUGS))))) to you and easy child both!!! It sounds like easy child has some interesting teachers. I bet that not many are late to the Homeland Security class her boyfriend is taking!! Reminds me of a history prof I once had. Your easy child and her roommate and boyfriend are amazing and wonderful people. You would be SHOCKED at how many people would have completely ignored the situation. I guess there are lots of reasons for that but it isn't something I could do. I am so proud of my niece for insisting on seeing the girl and for calling 911. You have raised a truly wonderful young lady. As for the amt of time for the police to respond? There may be some problem with the university playing politics and wanting their security to handle things and then when the regular police/ambulance get called there are procedures and protocols to be navigated. Or there could have been a huge accident or a lot of small problems at the same time. As the girl did not seem to be in life threatening danger or in danger of dying from her injuries, the call would have been lower on the priority list, esp if the same address was called many times in the past and the girl had refused treatment and/or to speak with police or to press charges. Your daughter, boyfriend and her roomie will ALL need to be careful. If easy child doesn't have a security alarm and pepper spray, she needs to get them. The security alarm can go on her keys and a second on her backpack or purse might be a good idea. It isn't enough to just have the alarm and spray. She has to PRACTICE using them, or she may freeze up if she is confronted. It really makes a difference. She also needs to be extra careful to not walk around campus alone after dark. The girl who was attacked may never thank her, or even appreciate it, but what easy child and her friends did was truly brave and wonderful. I am glad laws have changed and the charges can be pressed even if the abused woman doesn't want to. [/QUOTE]
