Read this and think it’s appropriate for this situation:

Everything you do is based on the choices you make.
It’s not your parents, your past relationships, your job (or lack of one), or the economy, the weather, or an argument that it’s your age that is to blame.
YOU and Only You are responsible for every decision and choice and action you make.

No doubt these 3 boys can be forgiven by those who they have harmed yet each one on his own must own up to and accept the Responsibility for the choices made.

Society depends upon laws and expectations of responsible and reasonable behaviors for the safety and well being of us all and these kids have violated that by making their harmful and illegal choices.

It’s amazing to see the injured family state over and over about their forgiveness, what God has done for them through all this, and their prayers for the 3 young men. God, help us change the things we can, and help us accept the things we cannot change, and grant us the wisdom to know the difference. Amen! God, please send even more special blessings to this amazing family! As for the 3 men, hoping our justice system will serve them well, and then ultimately God. I pray for the recovery and safety for this family. Amen

Ms. Neese: As others have stated, your example of Christian forgiveness is truly one we can all follow, as well as the one being set by your daughter. Forgiveness is commanded by God. BUT, it is part of society’s job to enforce the laws to help protect the safety of everyone, and when necessary, mete out punishment to those who choose to break the laws. We can still forgive these young men and pray God will change their hearts. That doesn’t mean they should be excused from punishment for their crimes. Those 2 things have nothing to do with each other. Their crimes were serious. The punishment should be just as serious.

Leighann, Wonderful comments.
Some of the others need better reading comprehension, the Brown boy has not been judged yet and has some more serious charges against him. Sounds like he was the instigator and could get a lot more years for his actions.

@Leighann Neese
You are a great blessing in a tragic situation. You are what a true Christian would do forgive and put it into Gods hands. I will forever remember your words and think of what God would do before I post my comments. If your family can forgive then who are we to post these unkind words. You have been a great blessing to me and for that I thank you. God is great!!!!!!

I am not even mad that these boys got 3.5 years instead of 30. No, Abbi doesn’t need surgery. Yes, she is doing great considering. There are some set backs, but we are all good. I personally wish everyone would quit worrying about things that are out of our control. We don’t know what will happen in the future for these boys, but I know who holds tomorrow. I also know He forgives. Learn a lesson from Abbi, forgive. None of you guys were in the wreck. You didn’t have the broken neck. Yet the one who did is forgiving. Shame on everyone here. I can’t even begin to tell you what God has done for us through this situation. We have learned so much of God’s goodness and how to lean on Him. I pray you all never find yourself on either side of this story, but it would do us all some good to reflect on how Abbi responded in comparison to how others respond. It was the Holy Spirit in Abbi who forgave.

Three years can really change them. That doesn’t mean they can’t change in three years. Hopefully when they get out they will do good..

When criminals are punished for their crimes the crime rate will decrease. Until that time ignorant fools like these will run amok.

I seriously do not think that 3.5 years in prison will do anything for these boys! When they get out of prison, they wont even be 21 years old! I am going to pray hard for these boys! My dads leg and neck are in constant pain! He is possibly facing another surgery! My nieces neck and hip hurt constantly! The doctors are needing to surgery! Seriously! My family gets stuck with a LIFETIME of pain, and these 17 year old boys (who should be charged as adults) gets 3.5 years of free food, shelter and college!!! I do not know what the future holds for them, but knowing their history, it will probably be back on the streets again doing the exact same thing! I pray for the next victims family!
