Rape victim: Violence 'always the wrong choice'

I was a little disappointed in this.

I followed a link that said the victim made a statement. I was very
curious

The statement was read by her pastor.  The content seems, to me at
least, like it was composed by someone  for the victim.

Of couse, she has no obligation to come out an talk about this
publicly.  I think she should do whatever is best for her.

The statement itself is a good, healing statement, too.

I've snipped most of the article, but ahve included the information
necessary to send money to the victims fund.

The Richmond High School girl who was gang raped after leaving a
homecoming dance delivered a message Tuesday evening to hundreds of
people shaken by the attack and hoping to bring about a positive
change in its ugly wake - "violence is always the wrong choice."
"We realize people are angry about this," the 15-year-old sophomore
said in a statement read by her church pastor at a rally at the high
school. "But let the anger cause change, change that is necessary to
keep our children, our neighbors and our friends safe."
