Slog - Comments on Keeping the Peace http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/05/keeping_the_peace Posted by Sage Van Wing An eleven year old German girl hung a sign from her window reading "Help!

Then again, I doubt anybody would disagree.

However, if that were my daughter, she'd lose window priviledges for two weeks over a stunt like that.

Goal! For the little girl and Sage! Uberrascht!

Wouldn't that sort of - um, justify her original plea for help?
