Surgeon John Keleman says if one stab wound had cut through Payton's artery, "she would have had a major heart attack from the amount of bleeding and probably died."

    Those two “fRiEnDs” should be in jail for life
  • @catherine5817
    She’s 12 and handled 19 stabs going through her. I’m 12 and I can’t handle a dam splinter.
  • @mrc4912
    With 'friends' like that, who needs enemies? But bless her soul, I hope she fully recovers both physically and mentally...

    “After hurting Bella.” YOU MEAN ALMOST KILLING HER
  • This girl is never going to believe in "friends" anymore. It is just another word for her.
  • @cyrus4157
    I can’t believe friends would be so willing to end each others lives in such a way. Be careful of who you’re friends with, this was a very stupid idea, and there are some very stupid people out there. But I still don’t understand how a twelve year old couldn’t understand the outcome/consequences of this.

    She went through living hell. The pain from the stabs, the pain from the betrayal, the pain of the fear of losing her life, her family, everything. Angels must have been with her, and her will to survive must have been very very strong. She’s a powerful girl.

    IMAGINE BEING 12 YEARS OLD AND SURVIVING 19 STAB WOUNDS??? What a strong girl.
  • @heystamp
    You have to remember having no friends is better than having bad friends
  • Surving 19 stab wounds for her age is considered a freaking miracle. One of them even hit her heart. She faced death and won. I hope she is in a good life style right now.
  • @hollyforman9637
    The fact that she survived is a true miracle from heaven. I have no words how horrible this is.
  • @aclown36
    "friends", more like FRICKING psychopaths
  • @grindstone25
    Man, I feel so bad for her. I can't imagine the trust issues that girl is going to have going forward. You don't just get better from something like this.
