If you were Tracy...would you have told?


I know that Rebecca attacked her and told her that she would kill her if she told Sarah...but would you have gone to the cops anyway? The girl had her belly button ring pulled out, and she probably got bruises from being slammed onto the ground.

If I were her, I would want to make a report. Even if it meant..moving somewhere else temporarily.

Yes, I would have reported her. Rebecca was dangerous and obviously capable of much more. She wouldn't have been too big of a problem for the police, though.

Go the police then move out until she got arrested, for sure

I can understand the fear of Tracy because there was a cruel lack of witness ...
And she was a freak partying then Rebecca could have pretended she harmed herself and used to. A word vs another.
But Tracy moved anyway ...

She did have the ripped out belly ring as evidence though.
Maybe if the psycho hadn't ripped out her piercing, I would understand not reporting it. But that would have caused extreme pain enough to go to the ER. It should have been reported. I would have.

Yea, and if Tracy still had the ring, wouldn't there be fingerprints since Rebecca DID touch it, but that can be hard to think of when you're not in a rational state of mind.

Eventually. With something like that, I can't imagine keeping quiet unless it's a family member or if I was unfortunate enough to have an abusive spouse. In fact, I tend to spill every bean imaginable if I'm physically harmed.

But even then, honestly, I would have eventually. I have before. :/ I've also done things to get back at such people(usually passive-aggressively, but still...)

The thing is, it's easy to criticize people like Tracy, but those same people don't realize that worked for them might have gotten her killed for sure. There are people out there who HAVE successfully stood up Rebeccas(like, I was told about a Sarah who beat the ever lasting *beep* out a Rebecca and slashed her face, but lucked out because that Rebecca moved away and claimed to "forgive her", which turned out to be BS), but there are others who have done the same, but don't live to tell about it. There are also cases of people GOING to the police, getting restraining orders, telling the whole damned world, etc, but nothing happens. A example of this is the Duster Girl from Intervention(Allison). She and her sister told every one that they were being sexually abused, but the abuser was acquitted due to lack of evidence. And then he moved to the Middle East and half the family stopped talking to her.

What's unrealistic is that it would have been very difficult to hide a belly button injury. But, then again, battered spouses have been in similar situations(if not worse) and will often lie for a variety of reasons.

But, it's all moot because Rebecca was killed by Sarah, so now they are all free of her, she can't hurt them anymore, and Tracy/Sara can have any friends they want. It wouldn't surprise me if they ended up being friends again.
