I'm sorry that as a mother you're having to go through this. I really could not imagine your disappointment. But as a woman, how in your right mind can you even begin to blame these girls (some of whom were as young as 15 years old) regardless of how they became involved? Do you not remember what it was like to be those girls? To be manipulated by your male peers into doing things you don't feel comfortable doing? Because I do. Boys bagger you, and beg you, and bribe you, and even blackmail you until you finally cave in. I would never consider that "consent".
