This was truly very sad. I would be devastated if this happened to my daughter especially after knowing it could've been stopped. I do not believe that this a case of bystander effect. The bystander effect involves someone not calling the police because they think someone else is already doing so, NOT egging on rapists.
My heart goes out to that teen and her family, I truly cannot believe this happened the way it did. Just makes you wonder what kind of monsters we're raising. I can't excuse them because when I was 15, 16, 17 I clearly knew what rape was and it has never been a laughing matter. To call them ignorant is really just us being ignorant about teenagers. They were just plain heartless.
