Cool shit Jeremy! Creepy.

There’s another film based on this event. It’s called “The Girl Next Door” (not to be confused with the teen comedy flick of that same name)

Anyone seen it? It looks a bit more graphic.

I have not yet to see this movie, but i was told about it and went to the website for info. I was horrified of what i was reading, there was bumps on my arms. I can not believe this actually happen to a young child that had so much to live for. People that do these things to others don’t have a heart. Reading these articles gave me the chills, i can not imagine how i would re-act when i actually see these movie. I have 3 child of my own and i hold them so close to myself and pray each for there safety. The question is, what goes threw people mind when they decide to hurt someone so young? what do they get from that? how would have they felt if it was them in her position?

Rarely, does one come across a situation that leaves a permanent impact on your life. An impact that jolts you from a dreary, mundane & ultra secure life and says “Hey, Do these things happen?”.

I saw the movie, never been a true fan of the cinema. What do they call it? yes Artistic License. Director’s Liberty, Authors Latitude…. et al… Did some research on the web and the horror just amplifies itself multifolds!!

These things did happen. What level has man fallen to? Was Gertrude sane? even insane, can anyone swoop to such low levels that one unleashes such unspeakable acts of voilence on an innocent life that still is yet to bloom? Cutting it short is a group of acconplices.. All minors!! Robotically and sadistically burning, branding, kicking, hitting, punching!!!

These things did happen… Such madness. Why? Where can one find an answer? Not in psychological analysis for sure. Not in rational explinations either…

In GOD? I shall try….
