In response to Jenn Reese's letter about Natalie Paglione ("Police should charge underage victim as well," Oct. 21), I have one thing to say: Are you kidding me? You want the law to punish someone who fell from an eighth story window? Do you not think Natalie is being punished enough by the several painful surgeries she had as well as the months of difficult physical therapy she must endure and the year it will take her to fully recover? What about the fact that she has been in a wheelchair for the past six weeks and that she broke her femur, hip, humerus, a few cervical vertebrae and had to have a kidney removed? This isn't enough punishment for you? She is extremely lucky to be alive and you think she needs underage drinking charges as well.

I'm not saying she shouldn't take some sort of responsibility; I just think she already has. Because she is 20 and not 21 doesn't make any difference. This could have happened to anyone who drinks alcohol, regardless of his or her age. I, personally, don't think there is a thing the police could do to her that would teach her any more of a lesson than the one she has already learned.
