puppet regime? never! that being said, I was 16 when it happned and my dad wouldnt let me and there was nothing I could do about it. I know that seems kind of unbelievable, but its the truth. As far as the video footage goes, the only copy I know of was on my ex boyfriends computer, along with all the pictures of my injuries, He later reformated his hard drive without saving a copy of either. I know this is my fault for not being more carefull and having hard copies of them but hey, I was 16. There are copies of the medical report filed the day it happened, severl later visits to try and guess the extent of the damage to my ankle, and the report on what ever they found when I had it reconstructed. Now that I'm 18 I dont know if I can take any legal action on it now. My friends case hasnt even gone to court yet (we went to lawyers willing to take the case for free so the delay is somewhat understandable). I'm going to try and contact them again and see if there is anything I can do at this point. And FunkyMonkey, I need sleep before I respond to you. I've gotten 4 hours of sleep in the past 48 so thinking is getting a bit hard.
