How bad must her friends feel right now...

[MeMyselfAndI]

They should feel awful

[Vanessa]

Omg! That doesn't sound good.

[Ammi]

..Jeez, the nightmare that her parents must be going through as well...

[Z]

See I would never leave any of my friends by themselves when we're drunk, partly because of how I've been brought up and partly because of my personal experiences from being alone and being attacked but I would always wait with a girl until she got into a taxi and home safe or walk someone to their door before I left them...

[Ammi]

..I think that tragically, her friends might have a lot of time to reflect on what they could have done differently...

Just reminds me of the boy who died in Glasgow the other month, fell in the Clyde and died after a night out... scary stuff

..yeah, parents worry about stuff like that when there are stories like this ...

[Z]

Obviously I don't know her, what she's like when she's drunk or what happened but I do always feel that sad stories like this could have been completely avoided if people knew their limits when they were drunk instead of getting into a complete state and not knowing where they are or what they're doing... just such a needless death... fingers crossed they somehow find her alive but it's not looking likely is it?

Yeah this is a huge problem. I dont get it personally..I always know when I have had enough and stop. Dont see the point in getting totally ratarsed to the point where you cant stand and are puking and forget most of the night or something

Not that thats what happened here by any means, just something that really confuses me.

CCTV is a tool used in target hardening, a visual deterrent that does work.
Tech is being used because it can be, if it prevents crime or violence or aids in securing a conviction then surely that's a good thing?
We are moving on, things don't stay the same, I understand it does seem very 'big brother' (lol)
The pros do seem to outweigh the cons though.

her poor family. I hope they get some closure at least

[Z]

Think it was pretty clear this is what had happened, sad to hear they've likely found her body. Cannot believe her friends didn't notice and nobody reported her missing for days... shocking

Yes real sad if she fell in the river
and no one noticed

[Z]

It just really shocks me arista, I can only assume that all of the group of friends were extremely drunk - you'd have to be in a bad way to fall into a river in the first place I'd have thought; and for nobody to notice that as well, clearly none of them were remotely sober... but it's just the fact none of them noticed she was missing for days afterwards, nobody contacted her the next day to ask if she got home okay or check on her...

They've found a body in the river in York

I mean I know all friend groups are different but generally if I've gone on a night out with friends I'll speak to everyone the next day to see if they enjoyed themselves and speak about whatever interesting things happened or any plans we made or whatever. I can't believe they just didn't notice, it's horrible. I'd imagine they'll all have that on their consciences for a very long time, which isn't really fair on them because what could they have done differently? Just a tragic accident as far as we can tell...

[Ninastar]

Confirmed to be her body. Can't post link right now

[Z]

Tragic. It was to be expected though. Her family must be devastated and probably her friends who were there that night will be traumatised for a long time to come.

[Ninastar]

They must feel so guilty.

It's weird knowing people who knew her. There's another guy gone missing from my school and it's like never ending drama for our town

That's surreal Caitlin, hope the guy turns up alive and well.. must be a sad time for everyone just now

There was a boy who was murdered a couple of years ago who was back in the news again recently as his family and friends were appealing for new information. My best friend on my course was friends with him, they were all devastated, he'd been out in Glasgow and had gotten a taxi home but had for some reason gotten out of the taxi nowhere near his house and was found dead in a field, definitely a murder but he had been seen walking up the A-road to his village so people have no idea who did it or why.
