Girl, 15, raped at open-air party in park as teenagers celebrate end of GCSEs.

this is why you should wait until you're 18 to drink.

I disagree. I myself personally don't drink but I don't think age is a issue when it comes to drinking, it's more about how responsible you are, even a 18 year old could end up in a situation like these kids.
Whoever raped that girl sick and I do feel sorry for her.

Real shame that it turned out like that. Ours was open top on a field (every year its been there) and police are very vigilant although nothing happens, they just pour your beer away. The locals around there seem pretty laid back

She got raped, its sick we have established how horrible it is years ago. As for people linking it back to alcohol, I hate when people blame the drink. Alcohol is not the problem whether someone is under aged or not. I hope she makes a full recovery from the traumatic event and give the police some good links to work on.

A tenner says the one that raped her turns out to be someone in her year, at that party, that she knows.

this is why i hate under age drinking. srsly, can't you have fun without getting completely pissed? urgh sgrengerigng

i feel bad about her getting raped but if teens nowadays could find other ways then getting drunk on a hill to have fun, this clearly never would have happened.

& whoever doesn't blame drinking? = In humans, common symptoms may include slurred speech, euphoria, impaired balance, poor coordination, flushed face, reddened eyes, reduced inhibition, and erratic behavior.

Sorry but in what way is that a fact? Some teenagers don't know when to stop drinking agreed, but exactly the same applies to adults. You can't just generalise like that and tbh some people just go out to get pissed which is different to not knowing when to stop.

As for the cans it doesn't really matter, cider is a similar alcohol percentage to beer (Slightly higher at times but pretty much the same).

So, they're adults, they allowed to drink..They drink in a 'PUB' not outside on a field dude, hence the reason adults dont get raped. This is why drinking in public places was banned, to reduce rape on adults as you are not protected when your drinking in a field. A pub is perfectly safe, CCTV and a taxi picks you up or walk down the street with your mates.

Im sure a 15 year old girl was responsible enough to drink.

There's many reasons why drinking in public is banned, I believe the likelihood of anti-social behaviour and the fact it's not attractive are the main reasons behind it. I'm afraid drinking is not as clear as that, people in their 20s frequently go out and get pissed and many get into fights etc between clubs in public. The fact is, many adults get raped every day unfortunately so I've no idea why you put "Hence the reason adults dont get raped." - Who on earth are you kidding there? Teens unfortunately get raped quite often because they're obviously vulnerable targets, drunk or not.

Shame, still bit of her fault for even going.
