It appears a male being within several feet of a female at a college is now a police matter.

Will a male alive within a mile of female become our next breaking story?

It is a known fact that in university and colleges, women are 4 times more likely to get raped. This is according to the Rape, Abuse, and Incest National Network (RAINN).

That's why my DD, when she has to be on campus for any late activities, always has friends that are willing to walk her back to her car...then she drives them to their dorm & drops them off!

At my alma mater, we've got blue phones around the campus, and anybody can pick up a phone and the uni. police will come and walk students and faculty to their cars, dorms, apartments within a couple blocks of campus, etc.

I am a UConn alum and even decades ago the incidence of rape on that campus was alarming...and a high percentage went unreported.

We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures.
