As I see it, humans are here for the decomposers, viruses, bacteria, protists, sharks, and an occasional lion or bear to "use". As this story shows, we aren't much good for anything else.
Galty, I am devastated by this story.These aren't children, they are sociopaths. Who could take the dignity of someone who is already suffering? Making things worse, when she heard the footsteps approaching of what could have been a good Samaritan, what went through her mind as he joined these criminals for a photo? The depths of their cruelty is beyond comprehension.
In addition to the full force of the law and treatment, I would push for mandatory ankle GPS monitors for at least ten years. Predators like these act on primitive levels of the brain and will act in violence again because they lack the ability to reason with conscience. Sexual offenders in this country have to register their home location and that information is public. The same should go for these knuckle draggers.
My heart breaks for this woman who sounds like she could possibly autistic - and our deeply, deeply flawed species. This photo should never have gone public out of respect for her. I hope she is surrounded with gentle, kind support and can be given the privacy that she needs to cope while being afforded the comfort and treatment she needs for the rest of her life.
This story is going to hang with me for a long time.
