(4,982 posts)The perp was not reported or punished in either case - this is why this crap goes on unabated and unpunished - no one wants to press charges.
In one case the mother simply refused to report it (or she's too stupid) and her learning disabled daughter had the rapist's child. The rapist is long gone, having refused anything further to do with her or the child - of course - the grandmother and welfare are used for support.
In the other case it was a male in the family messing with a 13-year-old neighbor girl and another young girl in the family. In both cases, no charges were pressed. In both cases, charges should have been pressed - I don't give a DAMN WHO the male is.
This "Ohhh well, I don't want to cause family problems" excuse is bullshit.
REPORT IT and press charges! EVERY. TIME. That's the only way this shit will stop. But people let it go.... *sigh*
