That poor child...I'm sure she didn't stand up out of pure fear. Some are saying that we don't know what happened before the video.

But like Cher tweeted, "So what, she's a CHILD". It just boggles the mind how some can defend this.

And It makes me so, so sad...and feel so powerless...

Things like this make me want to give up on the human race.
