Local Students Show Their Support For Missing Nigerian Girls

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – “It could be us.”

Those four words, from fresh faced catholic school girls at Mount St. Joseph’s, cross 5,000 miles to Nigeria in an instant.

Frances McDermott says,”What would happen if 200 girls were taken out of the Mount? What would happen if 200 girls were taken from a school here?”

The students from the Mount chose to wear red to show solidarity.

At a prayer service, they join the call to bring back the 267 girls, pulled from their beds in a boarding school by Islamic militants.

U.S. political leaders are speaking out.
