I just happened to notice this in the news.

From http://www.examiner.com/article/missing-autistic-teen-found-beaten-and-assaulted:

Quote:
Shyanne White, 16, who has been missing for two days was found on the bus in San Francisco around 8 p.m. She had been severely beaten and sexually assaulted reports the SF weekly.

Shyanne walked away from the Finch Youth Center at 3800 Coolidge Avenue in East Oakland on Tuesday. The facilities doors are not locked and guests are allowed to leave the center. Staff members concerned for her safety, followed her to the International Boulevard and 34th Avenue near the Fruitvale BART station on Tuesday night. As she entered the station, the counselors were detained by BART police and they were unable to continue to follow her, reports KCOY news. She was last seen, with a group of boys or young men.


Does anyone know why the counselors were detained by the police?

No BART tickets probably.

SF Chronicle said the counselors were driving in a restricted area. The teen in question apparently has a mental age of around 8.

They caught the rapist. A 30-something known criminal.

That won't do her any good.
Nothing will.

A 'group' of boys or young men'?

And the BART employees would not listen to the Finch Center employees, who should have been wearing picture I.D.?

This is beyond insane!

No, but it will keep him from preying upon some other vulnerable girl or woman. And it will punish him for the rape he committed.
