I don't see where she is made to consume Holy Communion, but am glad to know that someone did so. Consider the grace she was given at that moment! She was clearly up to something less than good and she was not only prevented, but she also received The Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus which will with save her or condemn her based upon what occurred in her soul at that moment. Did she repent? She did harden her heart? So many are afraid to speak up in these moments, but that deacon, in protecting Our Lord from desecration, also helped to potentially save this woman's soul. A very good meditation.

I am not suggesting that the mother is at fault. I wonder what the home life was like, how much regular interaction she had with her daughter, etc that the school was able to get this far with the child. The school preyed upon the child who was already troubled. If she wasn't already troubled, mother would have noticed something sooner. Did she have a cellphone? When did she get it? Was the family sitting down to meals everyday? Who were her friends? While the school system must be cleaned up, no question, I think we parents must review what we are doing at home and clean that up as well - that is job 1.
