you should call the police back then. i would do the same. i don't care if my face getting on news, i already suffer. so let them suffer and burn as i do.I was in an identical situation when I was about the same age and said the same thing about getting a lawyer involved. I even tried to phone the police from the school, but the teachers (physically restrained me) wouldn't let me. The incident was eventually swept under the rug, as my parents didn't believe me either.
I've learned that in this world, you're guilty until proven innocent, and even if all evidence proves your innocence, you're still guilty unless you have the right friends.
like bully Maguire said " you want forgiveness? get religion"
