I'm still trying to process how something like this can happen in our city. two teens just walking home from school and they get attacked like that? it's just not right. I've been hearing about these kinds of incidents happening more often lately and it's getting really scary for a lot of people, especially young women.
I mean, who does that to a teenager? Like, what's wrong with these people?! They just walk up to you, stab you and then assault another girl... it's like they're living in a bad movie or something! The fact that police are still searching for them is super concerning - where are they hiding? 
And the fact that one of the girls was held at knife point while her friend was dragged away is just heartbreaking 
We need to find these guys ASAP and bring justice to these teens!
Like, shouldn't parents teach their kids how to defend themselves or something? 
Or maybe it's just a case of bad luck and stuff. I don't know, it all feels kinda random to me... 
Anyway, I guess what I'm saying is that we should be worried about our teens getting attacked, but at the same time, like, shouldn't they take some responsibility for their own safety too? 
meanwhile the ppl in this neighborhood are all shook up too good thing the cops r on it and hopefully they catch these savage b's ASAP idk what we can do but lets keep our eyes peeled and spread the word maybe someone saw something 
! Can't believe what's happening in our own backyard 
. Two teens, just 15 years old, being stalked and assaulted like that? It's not right 
. Maybe instead of relying on the cops to catch these people, we can get involved as a community too 
. Have you seen any suspicious characters around Ravenswood Manor lately? If so, please report them to the authorities ASAP 
. We need to look out for each other and keep our neighborhoods safe 
. Let's start a petition or something to push for more safety measures in our area 
. Something has to be done about this 
.
This is absolutely ridiculous, two teens just walking home alone and they get attacked like this?! 
I'm so worried about these two girls, they were just kids who were supposed to be enjoying their freedom after school. It's just not fair to them or any other teenager out there who might feel like they're being stalked or in danger all the time...
