OMG! That's horrible!

Some people have no common sense whatsoever. How people can get a thrill out of hurting someone is beyond me.

I hope they're caught and receive serious punishment. What they did was beyond a prank or "mischief", it was a downright crime.

Sending vibes to your cousin that she has no permanent loss of sight!

It sounds bad, but I hope it turns out okay.

We will know more about her sight once it heals a little more.

The idiots haven't been caught.

And BTW, they aimed it at her face..they were only like 10 feet away.

They were talking about that at work today, the govt has a bright idea about giving $2000 to each school for anything they need to stop the bullying so it will never happen again!

I hope her eye is ok

If they aimed it at her face at such close range, she could charge them with attempted murder. Put them behind bars where they can think about what they've done.

I have no words for this. That is disgusting. I am sending big, big vibes for your poor friend and hoping that her eye heals up quickly, and thoroughly.

It's impossible to understand how people can be so crazy. She is in my thoughts and prayers. I hope that her doctors can fix this.

Well here is the latest...40% chance she will lose her sight in the eye


"It's a little sketchy at this point. Apparently the "driver" had prior convictions. My sister and Adam were pretty sure it was a male in the back passenger seat. So it's possible that it was the guy and the girl is covering because she is underage. Also if it came from the back seat it would seem likely that there were more then two people in the car. Something is fishy. Anyhow, will keep ya posted. But the appointment yesterday with the doctor was not so good. There is a 40% chance she won't recover her sight. And she is going to have to have a bunch of surgeries. Yikes. There is a possibility of a civil suit which could mean she would get a bunch of cash but that is way down the road."

That was what my friend emailed me this morning.
