Raped...TWICE! (just for good measure).

There are a few things I don't understand and more than likely, I never will. I don't understand the concept of rape for starters. Since rape is not about sex but instead about power, I don't understand why someone in their twenties or thirties would feel so compelled to rape someone in their teens or single digits. Why would an adult feel the need to impose their will and power on someone that won't even THINK to fight back, let alone try to. It boggles my mind.

I have come across cases where babies have been sexually assaulted, not toddlers, BABIES! I have heard of cases where the older sister let her "friends" rape the younger sister because it was "time for her to see what it was like." There are hundreds if not thousands, if not millions of cases where some uncle rapes his niece or nephew or a stepfather pounces on his stepdaughter or stepson.

Rape is a brutal and vicious attack not just on the body but the psyche as well. Rape violates the victim in so many ways it's hard to count them all.

The other thing I don't get is this, wen a rapist impregnates his victim, and that victim has a child, why a court would allow said rapist "parental rights". Why would the court order the mother/victim to allow the rapist scum the rights to visit with the child? In my opinion, not only is the mother/victim violated all over again, she'll be violated every time she has to allow this scum to laugh and coo with the baby he helped create by taking what the mother/victim didn't want to give him.

Case in point, in 2009 a 14 year old female was raped by a 20 year old male in Massachusetts. She became pregnant and had the child. The rapist was convicted of the crime and was sentenced to 16 years probation. As per family court, the rapist was ordered to pay child support of $110 a week. The rapist then demanded visitation rights to see the child and would rescind that offer if the judge reversed the decision of his having to pay child support. Legal? yes. Disgusting? Absolutely.

First this "man" rapes a child and get's her pregnant, and then demands visits with that child, knowing it would terrorize his lifelong victim every time he shows up. Then he leverages that as a bargaining chip, blackmail almost to not have to pay child support. For this, I feel this man needs to be castrated and turned into a eunuch. Vicious? Perhaps. Justified? ABSOLUTELY!
