Not excusing the rapists at all, but you can't control the inevitable stupidity of other kids. You can however teach your own kids how to be responsible.
And her actions were not the actions of a responsible person. It would be nice if kids could go to parties and get drunk without possibly running into problems but that isn't the world we live in, and incidents like this have happened WAY too many times before.
That being said, I also find it sickening. Provided there is clear evidence in place, I hope the rapists are thrown in a 4x8 cell for the rest of their lives. From talking to someone who has worked with the RCMP in rape cases before, there is no chance the cops didn't try to do their job to the best of their abilities though, so who knows what will happen.
