Both of the victims have been released from the hospital and have left the Palm Beach area out of fear for their safety. According to Palmbeachpost.com, the woman will not even tell her family where her and her son are staying.
"She's not telling me where she is right now," her brother, who has not been identified, told the Web site. "Because of everything that happened, she thinks they're [the remaining suspects] still walking around. She doesn't want them to find her."
The victims were active in church, and neither had any connection to the two teens that have been arrested in connection with the crimes. At this time, police believe they were random targets.

Suffice it to say, the perpetrators of this most heinous crime should be punished to the fullest extent of the law. Unfortunately, any punishment the state deals out will pale in comparison to the horrors the victims were subjected to.
The West Palm Beach Police Department has set up a fund so donations can be made to the family. Anyone who wishes to contribute can send money to any Wachovia Bank and request that it be placed in the St. Ann's Victim's Assistance Fund.
