Its unfortunate that the story has become a debate, not to mention a story to begin with.  A no-win situation for the family involved and no allowances to put it all behind them. They are the victims in this so called " excellent newspaper reporting" and told to us with the consent of a very upset mother who wants her daughters voice to be heard?  As a father of a daughter, I would want my daughter to overcome this terrible ordeal by any means necessary, however, having mainstream media coverage wouldn't be considered.  Public opinion in any way shape or form serves no positive purpose in this private family matter.  Luke Heimlick is a part of that family. I would like to believe that his family used proper family values in this very private matter. That the proper authorities used proper legal judgment in this very private family matter.  That both the victim and Luke Heimlick, with time, and a family bound together, will overcome this. I wish that. For I don't wish failure to anyone.
