Gloucester resident Annette Dion, a 45-year-old private music teacher, said school and city officials should have done more to find out whether the girls truly made a pact to become pregnant. She said denying such a pact existed is "pretty naive."

==Rep. James Fagan (D)==
Reprepresentative James Fagan, a [[Massachusetts]] Democrat politician and defense attorney vows to torment and "rip apart" child rape victims who take the witness stand if the state legislature passed the Jessica's Law bill that applies long mandatory sentences for child sex offenders.
"I'm gonna rip them apart," Fagan said of young victims during his testimony on the bill. "I'm going to make sure that the rest of their life is ruined, that when they’re 8 years old, they throw up; when they’re 12 years old, they won’t sleep; when they’re 19 years old, they’ll have nightmares and they’ll never have a relationship with anybody.” <ref>[http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,371344,00.html], http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,371344,00.html , Lawmaker's Pledge to 'Rip Apart' Child Rape Victims, June 26, 2008</ref>
