These are some of Audrie's Facebook posts after the assault:
"My life is ruined."
"I can't do anything to fix it."
"I just want this to go away."
"The whole school knows."
"I have a reputation I can never get rid of."
"The boys can die in a hole for all I care."
"They knew how bad I was."
"I don't want to remember."
"I have a reputation for a night I don't even remember."
Audrie's parents had no idea that anything had happened until after her memorial.
Their attorney, Allard, has announced that Audrie's parents are filing a lawsuit of wrongful death. Named as defendants are the parents of the home where the assault occurred, because the teens had access to a liquor cabinet, even though the parents were out of town.
I have mixed feelings about the civil suits in this case. The school is being held responsible for not being aggressive enough against the boys, but the assault did not happen on school time/grounds and there has been nothing to indicate that staff was complicit (so far; seems less like a conspiracy/cover-up than Stuebenville, imo) and Audrie was dead only 8 days after the party.
The owners of the home where the assault took place are being held responsible, even though they weren't home.
But, Audrie's parents weren't aware of exactly what she was doing, nor were they aware of what had happened to their daughter or what she was going through.
IDK, the three boys are criminally responsible for their actions in this case, that I feel strongly about.
Should anyone else be held legally responsible?
