The families reaction

Was anyone else bothered by the reaction of her family when she told them she was raped? The mother was too calm. If I told my mother I was raped, she would go ballistic. And the brother's reaction was pathetic. He didn't believe her and he was defending the rapist and saying she shouldn't go to the police. Wow what a way to be supportive after your sister was raped. Their reactions just weren't believable to me and the father didn't really give much of a reaction either. Then the brother goes and confronts the rapist in the next scene and the way he handled the situation also wasn't believable. If you found out your sister was raped and you saw the rapist face to face, wouldn't you do more than just yell at him a little and then walk away?!

I thought that as well. Pretty odd. Her friends as well.

The thing that pissed me off was the brothers reaction saying he couldn't of done it because he was the popular guy at school.

If god forbid someone raped one of my sisters, I would hunt that person down like a dog and boy would they wish they had never laid eyes on my sister. Cannot believe that the brother would essentially blame her; I was glad he grew a brain in the end but still, what a heartless bastard.
