matticus01 Posted April 28, 2010 Report Posted April 28, 2010 Something everyone must watch if your part of facebook... I think you can still watch it if you dont have a fb account though http://media.causes.com/756667?p_id=76050475&s=fb_feed What are your thoughts on child abuse and murder, rape and such!
Symphony Posted April 29, 2010 Report Posted April 29, 2010 What can be said on it.. it's awful, it's sick, it's disheartening that it happens so much in our world. Granted, I think abuse/rape at any age should not happen but - with young children, there's something very helpless about it. Even though, if you're a growing child / adult and caught in a situation of abuse of any kind, you find yourself rendered helpless, a child [to me] is like an animal - they have no way of fighting back. Heartbreaking topic over all.
matticus01 Posted April 29, 2010 Report Posted April 29, 2010 I agree but when I watched that video it seriously made me sick to the stomach... how any parent can do that to their own child, and thaqt poor baby only being six months old is horrendous and disgusting and those kinds of people shouldn't have become parents in the first place... and the god parents should have done something but because they didn't... that baby died!
Barbara Posted April 29, 2010 Report Posted April 29, 2010 It's just sick. Child abuse is always awful but I think it's even worse when it's a parent or both of them who are abusing their child(ren). How can they do that to their own child, their own flesh and blood? They're supposed to keep them safe, not harm them. Those people don't deserve to be parents.
Miranda Posted April 29, 2010 Report Posted April 29, 2010 Very glad I did not watch that video, I can imagine what it is like and I've worked with quite a few abused kids so don't need to see more. I can only agree with what people here have said already: it is sick, disgusting, what is wrong with these awful people? I think there should be some sort of vetting system before people can have kids, some people shouldn't ever. I would quite happily support the death penalty for child abusers!
matticus01 Posted May 14, 2010 Report Posted May 14, 2010 this article makes me feel sick... as it happened 2 hours away from where I live... Man admits prostituting 12-year-old girl, sharing proceeds with mother A Tasmanian man has admitted pimping out a young girl to make money to buy drugs. Source: Reuters * Mother took most of the money * Money went towards drugs * Man and mother charged A TASMANIAN man has admitted prostituting a 12-year-old girl at his home and sharing the proceeds with the girl's mother. The Mercury reports the man, 51, acted as the girl's pimp last year while she had sex with more than 100 men at Glenorchy. The man pleaded guilty yesterday to the horrific crimes, which left his victim with sexually transmitted diseases. The Supreme Court in Hobart heard the girl's mother took most of the money, the man took a smaller cut and the girl used her own share to buy drugs for herself, her mother and the man. Crown prosecutor Daryl Coates said the horrific prostitution business began last July after the girl's mother complained to the man, a close friend, of having no money. The woman, her daughter and the man agreed the girl should act as a prostitute. He drew up the newspaper advertisement, which described an 18-year-old "Angela" who was "new in town". The woman booked a room at a hotel for two nights and the man acted as the girl's pimp, charging $100 for half-an-hour and an extra $50 if the client did not want to wear a condom. Mr Coates said they made $2000 and the girl gave $100 to the man, $400 to her mother and spent the rest on drugs for her mother. The man then started running his underage prostitution business from his unit, where the girl worked Thursday to Sunday, seeing more than 100 clients. Police interviewed the man last November and he has been in custody since. The girl was examined and diagnosed with genital warts and chlamydia. Defence lawyer Kim Baumeler said the man now understood he had been committing an offence and had learned his lesson. Justice Peter Evans will sentence him on Thursday. The girl is in foster care while her mother has been charged and is in custody. http://www.news.com.au/national/man-admits...r-1225844153315

That poor girl being only 12 and sleeping with over a hundred men. I can only imagine what thats done to her, mentally as well as physical. But is it just me or does this article make it sound as though the girl willingly went on with it? I wonder who the man and mother are. I used to live in Tassie, and in Glenorchy at one stage. I can imagine that these two would be stoned if they were spotted walking down the street.

I can imagine that these two would be stoned if they were spotted walking down the street. I know what you mean about it sort of sounding like the girl was willing (especially from some of the bolded points), but the fact of the matter is that no twelve-year old can consent to things like that. And, also, if your mother's got no money, then at that age you're gonna want to do whatever you can to help, so if an idea like that is suggested, a lot of kids would think about going along with it, especially if she'd been taking drugs (which is what it sounds like). I know the advert said that "Angela" was eighteen, but surely any man can tell the difference between having sex with a woman and a little girl?! She wouldn't even be properly developed yet. So it's not even only the people mentioned in the article that I'm angry with, but also all the clients. It's ridiculous!
