My dad & mom want me to report my assault on Sunday night to the SF cops. I think it's too late. Yes, I have wounds that are big & visible.

I just don't know what I can say against these kids................

Yup, report it. If you don't report it, there's no way anyone can do anything about it.

Whereas at least if you report it, it's a statistic at the very least.

Thanks and I think I shall.

You should report it. You might learn that you are not the first, or it might help another person from falling victim.

For example: I was robbed at gunpoint and went immediately to the local police station. The police woman on duty realized she had seen the car and men earlier that day. They were cruising for potential "marks."

Upshot: I didn't feel so paranoid, felt a little empowered, and learned something from the experience.

...OMFG GUNPOINT? omg... No words. SRSLY???

Thank you for sharing and I've decided to woman-up and get over my fear and do it.

Thank you again.

It's not too late to report it. You may help stop another attack.

[talulahk]

Thank you. I'm just so beyond scared to report it, and I don't know why. It makes no sodding sense, and my dad is really upset at me for not reporting it yet.

I've promised I will tomorrow.

I reported an attack, and never regretted it. It helped me get past it, for one thing, and feel slightly less powerless. How is your forehead??

[talulahk]

My forehead isn't so great, thanks for asking.

I've promised my family that I'd report it. Still scared out of my mind about going down to the station.

In this life, would it be possible to actually talk to you? I know that's the most forward and idiot thing to ever ask, but, sorry. I'd like to someday speak to you.

[cuddyclothes]

Sure. I'll PM you my phone number and schedule.

I would have been in the "too late" and maybe "too much hassle" camp, but after reading the comments, I seem to be wrong.

[talulahk]

add: too scared.
