I know how hard it is to put an attack behind you. Back in February this year, Myself, my friend and my boyfriend of the time were walking home when we got jumped by 11 young guys. About 16/17ish. Although they did not harm myself or my friend - 4 of them just held us back whilst the 7 of them started beating on the guy - I was terrified to go outside after dark for a few weeks, especially on my own.
Despite the fact I rang the police WHILST the attack was happening, they didn't actually show up until 6pm the following evening, and, of course, none of them were caught.
Bloody terrible.
