PLN9

We hear of crime happening every day, on the news, from a friend, from a newspaper. But we say o that could never happen to someone like me. But the reality is it can, I was moved by this article about a 12 year old girls assault. Not only did I stop at this article because it was something I wanted to write about, but because I am around her age and a female. That is a scary thought knowing there are people around who are capable of harming you. I am not saying this to you to scare you I’m saying it because it’s true. Most of us just try to run from that situation by not listening to it or not reading it but you cant run from it forever, it can be hard to talk about or read but it is better for us to know what is happening all around us. The biggest thing here is we just need to be aware even if we don’t want to be. I am not here to inform you of where and when this girl was attacked but more to give you a wake up call about what is happening and to give you a heads up that sometimes you may even be able to help. But you can only help if you know so go out and get informed!!
