Answer 1

You are too far removed from the story. Have your friend go to the press. Interview the father and put it on Youtube.com Get the story blogged.

Those are my suggestions.

Answer 2

Think about what you are saying.

Twenty-two (22) politicians (and all from a small town at that) all conspired to set up a situation where a girl would be lured into a job interview and then raped, but she managed to "escape" from 22 captors. Then these politicans hired a man to throw acid on her, and blah blah

You need to consider the fact that the person telling this tall tale could be delusional. The whole story has holes you could drive a truck through and the logistics are practically impossible.

First of all, the suggestion already given to contact the local mental health organizations is a good one. Depression, I am sure, is limiting the father. Making sure he has a counselor and any medical treatment he may need is urgent. Holidays are right around the corner and both persons depressed in general and those from loss of a loved one are more critical.

You are doing a tremendous amount of good, I feel, by just being their for him. Having someone to talk to is always helpful......loneliness is a terrible feeling.

The following links are some good sources for groups and agencies that deal with victims of crime. You should also check with the local county prosecutor's office since they frequently have services available. Also, if health or any other services are needed as a direct result of being a victim of crime there are ways to get money directed to him also. "OVC awards formula grants to states according to formulas established in VOCA. OVC distributes approximately 90 percent of the money collected by the Fund in the form of two major formula grant programs to state agencies: Victim Compensation and Victim Assistance." Again, contact the prosecutor's office for this, they will know where to refer him for assistance.

Office for Victims of Crime - Links to National Victim Serving Organizations ........a great place to start especially since I don't know where you or the father is. This is a few ways they can help: Compensation Program Directory /Federal Statutes and Legislation | National Victim Serving Organizations / Victim Assistance & Compensation Programs |

Hope this helps.

Contact County Mental Health Services, anyone you know who can offer grief counseling and support.
Be his friend, the best gift you can give is your time. Pray for and with him, bring him nutritional, hot meals, maybe a companion pet like an indoor cat if he is able to care for it, or a bird that you could check on & care for daily as a way of staying connected.
Go to his workplace when he is absent, or make a discreet phone call to HR or someone he's talked about there. See if you can enlist thier help to phone him one day each week, or one day a month, ANY outreach and consistency with those closest to him before this tragedy will do far more for him than you can ever know. Focus on him for now rather than getting justice.
Do see if a news interview of some sort could get a pro-bono lawyer with a heart as big as all outdoors , along with being 10 feet tall &bulletproof.
But mainly focus on this man. The best lawyer on the planet cannot impart to him what you can right now. Your friend's connection+your compassion have given you a mission on this little planet if ever I heard of one.
Call Hospice anywhere to simply ask for tips about how to walk the journey beside someone who is grieving.
Though her death has killed a huge part of his spirit, I believe a compassionate soul such as yours can be all the difference in how much it kills the rest of him, and his quality of life in the remaining time he has here.
Sometimes the best thing you can do is be willing to just sit quietly in the same room as him for an hour. Many survivors of heart-breaking grief remember such action as one of the pivitol things that gave them hope and helped them to put one foot in front of the other.
I applaud you being willing to involve yourself on behalf of someone who is not right now in a position to offer much back.
A tribute not only to this man, but to the life of his daughter, who would hope for someone like you to come around at a time like this. God bless and guide you as you reach out in compassionate humanity.

Answer 5

Gather all evidence especially the statement of the girl and file a case against the culprit/s. They should be meted the harshest penalty under the law.

Answer 6

you arent supposed to do anything, its not your job or responsibility.
