Perhaps you need a reminder. You seem to be terminally confused, among other things. Rather than be argumentative, please allow me to quote you. I prefer to deal with facts.

"I have an idea you liked what was happening as a child since you didn't tell anyone about repeated rapes by a stepfather unless he had you tied up or drugged."
Followed by:
"I never said a 7 yr old liked being raped, those were your words, as I've noticed you make up most of your remarks."

Are you on drugs or just stupid?

And I did jctgal. And I was rescued from the situation. It was no easier to fight off one 6'3 240 man than it is to fight off a group. I'll not bore you with the details, as it is probably beyond your scope of empathy. I was 7. If your mind is so sick that you get "ideas" that a 7 year old likes being raped as a child, or used for an adults sexual gratification then far be it from me to convince you of the facts. You have no desire to understand. I deal with women and children everyday who are raped, and sadly, there are those ignorant people with a gutter mentality who will make comments such as this.

Though I have never personally encountered one as hateful as you, I have worked with some who have. Your attitude is one reason why many rape victims do not report the crime, and why so many rapists are allowed to walk free to commit the same crimes again. You, my dear, and those few who share your twisted mindset, are part of the problem here. I feel shame and pity for you as a woman, and heaven forbid, a mother.

Something tells me you do not have the sense to feel ashamed for yourself, so I'll let it go at that.

I am Mr Kelly, thank you. *smiles softly*

I do not disagree that it is heinous. I do not disagree that it happens more often to undereducated, disadvantaged children. I also do not disagree that all involved should be held accountable. My point is that no one is any less valuable because they grew up in a family that does not support, protect and nurture them. We do not have a choice whether we are born to welfare parents or upstanding nurturing ones. It is not an economic/ race issue. It is a moral and/ or criminal one, and I hold firm that there are likely other people who should be held accountable, as well. Lets reserve a little judgment until we see the CPS report that was probably not fully investigated.
Had this girl been born into a home where she was loved and protected I don't think she would have made the choice that she did. She may very well have been born to a parent like jctgal who would have the child believe it is her fault because she could not kick and scream and fight herself off of seven people to stop herself from being RAPED. THAT is ignorance at its best.

No where in my post does it say that the girl should not be held accountable and the boys should. You seem to be having an issue here. This is not about you and your obvious hang up about women not being treated equally. Your posts also all seem to indicate that you are struggling with this. Your point has been made on numerous other pages. You do not need to slant my post to make it yet again....

I do not see anywhere in my post that mentions playing favorites. As you said they are children. Obviously none of them are very well adjusted. Normal, well adjusted 15 year old children do not do things like this, regardless of the sex. The entire incident is a tragedy. Parents and adults in charge of protecting these kids need to be held accountable; the children need to be rescued from homes like this where they are being ABUSED. At this point we have no idea the ages of the people who did this. I would bet that CPS has been called to these homes more than once and nothing was done. We see this continually, usually after a death, rape or something equally tragic. 15 year old children are different from adults. No doubt these children have been let down by numerous adults who assume too much.

RobininSC, I am neither 15 nor a troll. I am exactly who I said I am. Judging from your past posts you seem to be a very jaded, bitter and prejudiced person. Your main reason for being on this board is to inflame other posters, and you rarely seem to post a valid comment unless it is derogatory towards another.

In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room or blog, with the primary intent of provoking other users into an emotional response[1] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.

Seems to suit you a little better than me. Go back and read your own history, then grow up and offer something of value.

This really bothers me with all of the racial comments. We are talking about a 7 year old child. I was being raped when I was 7, continually, by an adult (stepfather). I am WHITE and my family was NOT on welfare; they were upper middle class. I am 46 years old and still dealing with it. This little girl has a very long road ahead of her; it is NOT a "black welfare" thing. Just as sickening as what happened to the girl is that fact that so many people still have their heads stuck in the sand over this.This happens SO much more often than is reported. A child will often keep quiet out of shame and fear. The guilt feelings associated with this by a child are enormous. You don't understand the shame, but you know you are different. Many times children are drugged when they are being sexually molested. Many times it is made into a "game". If you suspect someone you know may be molested, please follow your gut instinct and try to intervene. Your instinct is probably spot on.
As for the 15 year old? She is still a child too, and has likely learned from her environment that this is normal behavior. Don't be too hard on her. I am a survivor, but it was a LONG hard road getting here. These girls will both be suffering for a very long time and may never recover. Please pray for them.
