Reply #1: 7 and 9 years old raping a toddler, and all we think of is punishment?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

i think that's just crass and petty. the seven and nine are children themselves, maybe some sympathy and understanding as to how this could happen would be helpful.

normally 7 and 9 year olds don't rape. i think its not out of the norm to look into how this happened. whether they were acting out some other horrors that is happening to them or whether they didn't fully realize what they were doing

i think this society very conveniently decides we are cognitively capable when we commit a crime, then decides we are children when we want to use our bodies for pleasure. had a 7 or 9 year old wanted to get a tattoo or smoke or drink, would one be ok with that?
