Samantha Kelly suicide

I'm not sure how many of you have been following the case involving 14-year-old Samantha Kelly, who hanged herself this week after bringing accusations of rape against an 18-year-old male student, then subsequently being bullied about it at school.  There are so many problems with this case, that it's nearly impossible to blame one side or the other.  (Read the Article Here)  On one hand, you have a girl who initially reported the sex as consensual, then went on TV (at the request of her mom), changed her story and said she was raped.  On the other hand, you have media, in its exuberance to report anything related to bullying, failing to do its due diligence to protect the girl from further taunts.  The school district also plays a role, as it allowed both the victim and defendant to continue to attend school together, and who was asked to intervene numerous times against the bullying.  Let's also not forget about the defendant, who kept a running account of details on his Twitter account, is being investigated in a second case of sexual assault, and has since dropped out of school.  This is a tragic case all around, and while nobody receives all the blame, certainly they all receive some blame.
