Re: “Saturday's Cyntoia Brown Panel: Me Facing Life ... And a Couple of Oddball Questions”

I can't believe how people can overlook the fact that she was only 16! What was a 43yr old man doing picking her up?! She was a victim of statutory rape and although she did killed him do u think sending her to prison for life is really justice! If that was my daughter; or what if it was yours, wouldn't u agree then that he got what he deserved?!!! Im not saying that the man or anyone else deserves death but I'm just being realistic.I think her life of sexual and mental abuse are reasons enough to come to the decision that enough is enough!I think that the time served to date is more than enough for what she's had to endure and should be allowed to be free and given a second chance to life! I also feel she should continue to receive some type of counseling & help from the system who failed her so terribly before!
As for the individual who stated about taking her in and notifying your neighbors, I would take her in& I think that no one should really be afraid to do so because it's not as though she was going around targeting individuals to murder she was a victim as well! Another key thing you are forgetting Johnny WAS an ADULT of 43yrs of age who should have had more than enough time to learn about making right choices! Cyntoia on the other hand was still a child who was still naive and incapable of making the right choices not just because of her youth but because she was manipulated and ill treated by those who she would try to trust! Living the life she did without even mentioning the mental illness, is enough to put a person on edge & have their survival instincts take over!! I think the system failed her as a child who needed help& intervention& I think the system failed her again with the sentenced given!!!
