[vmalicevic85]

My godness

"no matter what you've done, or where you come from, or what's your experience in life... it's up to you to change"

why don't they give her a chance! She was a child, under some local PIMP

[jadyqg12511]

All man are huge dicks!

[ralr08]

Even she can tell you YOU DON'T JUST TAKE SOMEBODY'S LIFE AND THINK THAT ITS OK, yet America as a whole is celebratory about Bin Laden's death.

[kibuki91]

@ralr08 Not as a whole.

[dRozer4200]

Peep...forever 21 rave

[DefenderOfTruth2011]

how unjust and backward to keep her there....so sad. it is not in the public interest to keep her locked up she is no threat and she has more than paid the price for her so called crime. maybe we can write her letters I bet she would love that.

[PrincesaRu803]

She has a lot of courage to speak on what happened.No its not right to commit a murder but I honestly she did it out of self defense.Had the story been the other way around,he probably would have gotten a "slap on the wrist".FREE SARA K!.

[djmoe]

She Deserves to be free

[macjohnson123]

this girl dnt deserve shit but to be free! !! any man or woman that fundles with a child should be in there grave or under the prison i was ten years old when my babysister layed me on the top of my stairs and pulled my pants down and rode my D***k very sick! !! and she was 19 or 20 at the time and till this day my parents still dnt knw so she took care of his ass! !!!

[CurlyKoki]

Clearly she did a service to her community by killing that pedophile. All Pedophiles should be killed.

[59eh]

This girl solve a problem for all of us and should be rewarded for her deed, not a life sentence. Give the girl a pardon and give her a real job to move her toward the future.

[Kirayamatoplay]

i hate to say it but the government should let ppl go she changed but of course they wont be look at who is in the white house and the ppl who ruled over are courts ppl i say to u dont let are kids go like this she a good kids and i will stand against are government and i will make them all realize they do is wrong but try to raise ur kids to be better then u because they are who will carry are dreams of a better world

[prityricky1]

She did not kill a pimp. She killed a pedophile, masquerading as a pimp! Any man that will prey on & rape a 13 year old girl is a pedophile!!!! This woman is not a threat to society, & has been punished enough for her crime. She has already lost 15 years of her young life, & I believe she would be able to make a difference, & serve as a role model for young girls. They have a petition going online now that you can sign as they are trying to get the governor to grant her clemecy before he leave

[Ariegiggles]

SHE SAVED LIVES!!!

[Ariegiggles]

Sara, it was OK. You are a HEROIN!

[1werall]

stupid america!!!! when will your dumbass american wake uppp!!!

[californiaconor78]

Life w/o possibility of parole for killing her pedophile pimp? Our justice system at it's best.

[m33p0rz3r]

This is ridiculous, this girl deserves to be released. She obviously has learned from her mistakes.

[Ariegiggles]

@m33p0rz3r What "mistake"?

[alldawaylive2]

SHE DIDNT DESERVE 2 HAV LYF IN RPISON...I AGREE WIT @BELLAXSTREGA...FREE SARA...!

[Daddysmokey]

sh sexy...



[eDrifter1]

she may be in jail.

but the pimp, hes in hell :)

[aqilahraeesha]

IM PRAYING FOR YOU SWEETIE.. WHERE IS HER MOTHER AT? SEND THIS TO PRESIDENT OBAMA

[bemuzedonplaya]

Please check out this video and ask your congressperson to support SB399.

[jsalas89]

The reason why she got life without parole and was not tried as a juvenile was because how she killed the pimp. She must have killed him in a cruel and unseal manner. Like stabing him 30 times in the chest or cutting him in pieces. Or some combination. Had she just shot him it would have been a different story.

[californiaconor78]

@jsalas89 well, she was molested by this guy started at age...11? 13? He was a pedophile.

[Locauna]

@jsalas89 She did just shoot him.

[mshotwheels45]

We all know that justice is blind but in this instance it was deaf too! If GOD can show his mercy on people why can't the courts and the judges? Has'nt this young woman given enough? wasn't her childhood and her pain for life enough? I am 52 and a product of abuse and if I had a gun when I was younger I probably would have done the same. GOD BLESS you SARA. I will pray for your release!

[FitTheShoe]

This is so sad and infuriating. It's clear that she has emotionally adjusted as well as she possibly could, but she still blames herself. She won't even call what he did to her "rape," which it clearly was. She was a child- an abused and disadvantaged child who was vulnerable to this kind of predation. She probably had no other recourse or feared being hurt by this child-enslaving monster if she left. It's disgusting that she's been sentenced to die in prison. How much pain can one take?

[P0GFLIPPER]

Im glad that pimps dead,, now the judge needs some punishment...

an that girl needs freedom

po9

[itzAplatypus]

I can't believe she apologized for taking his life...I'm so happy he's dead, he was only in this world to hurt. He has no purpose in this world but to hurt innocent young girls. She did the right thing, the police or law certainly wasn't going to save her and those girls...You stupid fucking juuudgeee

[itzAplatypus]

I hope that judge dies

[Gamagachee]

oh my fucking god...

what the fuck

stupid fucking judge, i don't give a fuck you fucking fuck, fucking let her go for fuck's sake ... FUCK!

[volodymyrm1]

she killed a human she deserved the punishment but she was sexually abused and underage i am pretty sure that she was not in the right state of mind she was under affect of those circumstances so there should be ether a 3rd degree murder and even if she had an intend to kill that faggot she still was in affected state

she was sexually assaulted and to women its much worst then to men its a complete humiliation rapists and child molesters are the ones who should die and get life in prison

[paisleyyama]

She should write to Obama for a Presidential pardon. She will probably get it.

[beachbee33]

This child was preyed upon by a sex offender,PIMP, and brainwashed,abused, and forced into thinking this was how life was. I have a 12 year old and I know she can be swayed by people but lucky for her they are good people like teachers and church leaders. She was not cast aside by drug addiced parents and left to her own devices where the advasary can easily sway her as what happened here.

Free this child she killed her preditor abductor. The devil is a charming man.

[PerrisJettison]

You are just another fucking idiot that has no idea what streets smarts are. Youv'e been played moron. Keep on believing hookers ,the jury didn't ,neither did the judge no matter what color I am you racist retard

[PerrisJettison]

Everybody is beleiving her BS story LOL!!!, As if a hooker / drug addict // murderer couldn't think up a rape story. WAKE UP IDIOTS!!! You all remind me of the scene in blazing saddles where the new sherrif holds a gun to himself and all the idiots are saying isn't anyone gona help that poor man? SUCKERS!!! A jury didn't believe and neither do I. Don't be a sucker.

[babyslim005]

u fucking ignorant idiot, u must be white...did u not see the age this all started at 11...this man came into her life and brainwashed her, which is easy to do to some1 at that age. he was a father figure to her then he change the game on her....how can u be so insensitive..now if something like this was to happend to yo daughter i hope u would say the same bullshit ass comment u posted...smh ur terrible..this shit is real, the streets isnt no joke but u wouldnt know about that... so WAKE UP

[beachbee33]

@PerrisJettison When you have kids I fear for them, You have no parental values. You child will be deprived of a good loving father as you have no redeming values worthy of fatherhood!

[BSOZ]

Shake her damn hand for killing that pimp

dont put her in prison

'course we dont have the full story...

but life?

[2006thegift]

my son was shot and killed and nothing was done about that let his killer walk they ask him why did he shoot my son in the back he said i didnt want him to get away and they let him go this is not the same he killed my son in cold blood and i forgive him this queen do not need to send her life in jail my prays are with you my sister

[Rawrcakes]

Other countries don't have youth in prison because they are murdered or executed instead.

[PerrisJettison]

as all murderers should be. good comment

[introd27]

I watching this video and seeing the sweet side of the kid. The fact is that she was a prostitute and she killed someone. She did the time so, she has to do the time. Maybe not life, but then again, we don't know the facts.

[zakiyyalovesCB]

this chich shouldnt even be kup in ther shit i would do the same thing

[PerrisJettison]

then you would be in jail too

[beachbee33]

@PerrisJettison You flirt with death all the time go jump out of your plane! You have no repect for human life. You body is a temple and no idiot pimp has the right to violate a youg child, Well may be you are just like him right thats what you do violate young children??? Disrespect them and what ever els!!

[dimpzofficial]

kmt fuck the boydem.

[mlssrt]

she didn't deserve that at all..... that is absolutely ridiculous.....

[anthonywor]

how do we get in contact with her?

[l7y2n2n]

there are prison activist groups that work with women's prisons such as the one sara is housed in (CCWF). they know how to get in touch with her through snail mail. you can get in touch with human rights watch and find out more, since they were the ones filming her. i also worked with a prison activist group this past summer, so if you can't find her mailing address, you can contact me and i'll ask my former supervisor.

[grannygirl1968]

@l7y2n2n Please...Please tell me how i can help!!!!

[l7y2n2n]

@grannygirl1968 it's best you just ask human rights watch how you can help. i think there has been a petition going around for her, but i'm not directly involved anymore. thanks for caring and wanting to do something about it!

[PerrisJettison]

try her in hell in about 49 years

[LaylaCoconut]

the poor baby

that is so wrong

so sad... and unfair

[AntifaOwnsThisBitch]

She spends the early part of her life in an abusive drug cluttered home, then is used by someone for his own profit. Who knows what finally clicked in her head. But she does not deserve life without parole. My cousin is serving life with parole and is eligable for parole in 6 years after be a part of killing someone over drugs. The system really is fucked up. Is there a petition or something that we can do? She needs to go home. She's no criminal. She needs to be set free.

[NoEalamInSL]

System fucked up. run by bird-brained, Hypocrits. 90% porn made in USA. yet banned. Illegal prostitution, child sex, abuses. prisons filled up. Culprits immuned. politians bribed. Victims victimized. Relase girl! 10yrs enough!decent punishment, forced prostitution. child at 13. Systems computerized, judges robots. Talibans & Taliban laws!

[DashDingo]

This woman who's been in prison since she was 16 is more well-spoken than most people in America who have freedom throughout their lives.

[BellaxStrega]

She deserves a medal, not life in prison.

[AntifaOwnsThisBitch]

I agree

[Ariegiggles]

@BellaxStrega That's right!

[mitsubishidiamante]

system is fuck up.

life with out a possibility of parole?

shes a victim.. not a criminal.

[Yitbayluv]

Damn how cruel the justice sytem

[castleladyohio]

This is so sad that this poor girl has to suffer for something that really wasn't even her fault. How can this be justice?

They need to stop treating girls who are forced into under age prostitution as the criminal - they are the victim.

[shereeng1]

Thanks for highlighting this, people receiving life imprisonment with no parole, at age 13 is a joke. I hadn't even realised there was such thing.

[alienxshe]

since the governor in Cali is apparently cutting all funding for domestic violence programs, so I heard yesterday, and many other vital social services in Cali I'm assuming nothing is going to change anytime soon *sigh* my thoughts and heart are with sara and all other girls in her situation. I truly hope she is offered parole one day and does not have to suffer for her suffering for the rest of her life.

[asuzette]

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 2 Corinthians 5:17 Only Jesus can make all things new. He can give you a new heart a new spirit and a living hope.

[Saromatae]

asuzette

Vicarious redemption through human sacrifice!!! What a horrible and morally vacuous thing to say. That is shocking and appalling. Why would you say such things? I wish some people on youtube would be more conscientious and sensitive in what they say. This would be a much better medium of communication if not for these few bad apples.

[asuzette]

Saromatae, It's called the gospel of Jesus Christ. "And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely." Revelation 22:17

[Smartassawhip]

This is bullshit! I am getting real sick of the way the USA is handling these types of situations.

[4eva68]

Ugh...

So now she is 29.

The sentence should fit the crime in particular.

There are people serving multiple life sentences for stealing a pack of cigarettes or j walking.

[theNonexistentKnight]

Sara,

you are a hero just for being able to smile, even a little bit, after all that. people like you should be teachers for little kids.

no one should be given a life sentence without the possibility of parole.

[shnooglebot]

this judge should be taken off the bench. NOW. with his power as a judge and his twisted sense of morality, he's probably ruining as many lives as the pimp did.

[shnooglebot]

i'd like to write to her and tell her this message:

THANK YOU FOR ALL THE KIDS YOU SAVED FROM THIS ABUSER AND ENSLAVER!!!

[hudsonmusik]

She took his life and he took her childhood and the rest of her live. America will fall, they continue to act as if it's the 1940s no one believes you anymore, Barack.

[ronprivat]

Why not simply accept her situation for what it was without actually justifying killing anyone?

That she did is in itself a proof of what a terrible situation she was in. Given a choice she would have hitched a hike to nearest refugee, but there were none offered to her.

A trapped soul becomes dangerous and I respect that. It hurts here to see how many easily find killing a human acceptable, no matter what.

Neither is looking up a child with no options in life.

[empurpleme]

if "GG" was related to me, pal, i would kill him myself. how is it okay for him to be a thief and steal sara's innocence and childhood and manipulate her mind and use her body? IT'S NOT. children sin, it's natural, everyone does it as a kid. drastic situations result in desperate efforts for peace. if you were in that situation, you would understand better. something tells me you don't understand what sexual abuse does to the mind, and soul. and until you do, don't talk about it.

[lolchristians]

Sara, you've done nothing short of self-defense. Why do you feel you deserve punishment for acting out against a rapist who stole your childhood and sold you into sex slavery? Wasn't GG punishing you for having the wrong sex organs punishment enough? I only wish that your judge and others who wish to see you locked in a cage to "set an example" could wake up tommorrow morning as 13 year old prostitutes and test out their "moral scruples" by not taking action against those who exploit them.

[dynamixrage]

repair that which is broken...in the case of prisoners, to deter behavior deemed unlawful or deviant from social norms as well as provide education & other programs to aid these individuals in any way necessary until such time as they are no longer a threat to society...In my opinion, to give a CHILD a life sentence without a chance of parole is admission that the system has failed. We live with our circumstances: The life we are given, the life we want and the life we end up with.. PEACE

[dynamixrage]

Sarah's story is a great example of how youth, especially in urban areas, can fall through the cracks of the American system. We must ask ourselves who is truly to blame for a young lady...A CHILD of 12-16 yrs to have ended up in such a position were she felt murder was an option...Why do we allow our justice system to practice injustice merely to prove a point or set an example? In this country prisoners are held in correctional facilities, a name with implies an attempt to

[felibusteros]

it is a racial descrimination it is a clear violation of human rigth especially if your are a black or asians, democracy is die here..nobody above the law only who makes the law can alter the law....stupid things happen to this young lady in the united state of america...its so pity that they waste the future of those youth who inprisoned by the inteligent people but ignorants of the law that they created..

[billartkool]

Do not say this is a racial descrimination. I am also black. Do not pity her because she is crying and in jail now. Think when she is free,, the stupid life she will be living,,when someone try to give her advice she will nt listen. she think she can commit crime bcoz she is under age. Let her serve as an example to others ,, so that America can be in peace. let her bear the pain,... she is a scapegoat. some one has to be sacrify though.

[felibusteros]

how do you know if she will be freed . she will be back to her old time job nobody knows the future of this young lady she cried because she is telling the truth. if you are lying you will not cry..and she will begging only for her release..the juvenille law must serve to this young lady in any way. of giving back her dignity..so she can have a chances to be more responsible citezens of your neigbhourhood..only the law maker who disobey their law about juvenille law and that si stupidity..

[billartkool]

How will you feel if the guy that was killed by this girl was your brother or your Son? tell me. We need peace for the American people. If she is free alot of bad guys will use under age kids to commit murder.. think about it. many kids think they can not be punished becoz they are under age. so they do stupid things. I think she should server jail term. maybe someday one of the president might pardon her during her late 40s. so she can tell her story to other kids.

[gnidich2000]

@billartkool - if he was my brother or my son, i'd shoot him myself. Shut your stupid fucking face

[bananajoe4u]

we complain to other countrys about cruel punishment,, and here at home we do the very same thing,, damn,, i bet if she was rich and white,,she woulndt be in prison,,all political bush era crime

[billartkool]

i know its cruel but somethimes things like this need to happen to give other kids example. this should be published on newparer and be on radio and television so that other kids will know they will be punished when they commit crime. i pity her also but let her face the law. to serve a lesson to others

[felibusteros]

yes you are very cruel..this lady supper to much since her childhood. nobdy respect her and totally she is an abadoned child.and she is not in her rigth mind when she commited a crime. she must be protected by human rigths law.

a prisoned youth must be has the rigth in any way of balance justice.the american justice system is a failure...thanks anyway

[billartkool]

How will you feel if the guy that was killed by this girl was your brother or your Son? tell me. We need peace for the American people. If she is free alot of bad guys will use under age kids to commit murder.. think about it. many kids think they can not be punished becoz they are under age. so they do stupid things. I think she should server jail term. maybe someday one of the president might pardon her during her late 40s. so she can tell her story to other kids.

[butabara1234]

She needs health care to deal with her mental scars, not punishment. Sure she took a life, but it's so obvious that she is much more a victim of crime than a criminal. Some years in prison would be understandable, but for life?!?! Then "GG" has won in the end anyway! He's gotten to ruin her entire life even if he's now dead!

[howardbyfield1]

It is a shame that our society treat s young victims like this young lady better than they treat the pimps that prey on them. It is if we are telling her that she deserved to be a prostitue and her life has less value than her pimp. I wonder if she would have gotten better treatment if she was white!.

[2slikkrikk]

damn!! Thats fucked up!!!!

[Sefardi123]

SAD. Justice has NOT been served.

Not justifying murder - but there are DOZENS of girls who have NOT gone to prostitution and drugs thanks to "GG" not being around for 16 years.

[rochelimit55555]

The think the prison would look wonderful ... but i think she really need to be freed after evrything she had learned. she has good future ahead, do don't waste it by being in prison

[etuberalism]

now, i know taking of life is our highest misdeed as a species, but the circumstances...? Let her out, she should never have gone to a prison.

[phnixlady]

Cruel and unusual punishment, in jail or prison of any kind. Corrupt. How can we change this overpaid, sickeningly corrupt system?
