4 Boys Rape 8 Year-Old Girl

Cultural issue? or Religious? Why didn't the reporter include the religion?

Oldest boy in assault of girl to be tried as adult


Authorities said Thursday that four boys ages 9 to 14 took turns raping an 8-year-old girl behind a shed for more than 10 minutes in what Phoenix police are calling one of the most horrific cases they've ever seen.

The outrage over the allegations intensified after police said the girl's parents criticized her after the attack and blamed her for bringing shame on the family.

"The father told the caseworker and an officer in her presence that he didn't want her back. He said, 'Take her, I don't want her,' " police Sgt. Andy Hill said.

I think the population is about 40% Christian, 40% Natural/native and 20% Islam.

Lot of Christians coming to American from that portion of Africa. We have portions of a family from Ghana in our church.

I'd guess more cultural in this case.

"Hill cited the family's background as the reason the family shunned the girl. All five children are refugees from the West African nation of Liberia.
In some parts of Africa, women often are blamed for being raped for enticing men or simply being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Girls who are raped are often shunned by their families."
Can only hope that this "Father" is run out of the Country!

DEPORT this Son-of-a-bitch, and HANG HIM by his parts when he gets there!

POS!!!

Can only hope that this little girl gets the full weight of resources available, to help her deal with this trauma.

Ahhh, what would you hang him for?



The trauma this child went through is terrible, sounds like she ultimately will be better off without the SOB father and the rest of her "family".

Rhetorically, This man should hang for shunning his raped eight year old little girl, right?

Reading something like this breaks my heart!!! That poor lil girl. It is going to be a very long time before she feels safe....anywhere!

Cultural or not, how can any father not want to protect his innocent child, girl or boy, and want to help through something so horrific!?!?! He added more injury to her psyche by saying what he said.....POS!!!

Like I have said many times before, humans are continuously a disappointing species.

"Hey guy, thanks for being an assclown. You are under arrest for willful neglect, child endangerment, and any other charge I can make stick. Oh, and by the way, I have some friendly guys from ICE who would like to "clarify" your immigration status." We do not need "people" like this in our country!

No, though I understand the sentiment.

"These four boys used what was a ploy to entice her to a place where they could take advantage of her almost like a pack of wolves,"

Being a victim brings disgrace on the family, but being a perpetrator doesn't? Nothing was mentioned about the boys being disowned by their families. IMO it's a cowardly culture that won't defend their weakest members.

My heartfelt prayers go out for the little girl.

One of the problems of being an immigrant from another country with a different culture is that you bring both the bad and the good of that culture with you. It is all you know... to expect a person to being "american'' overnight is simply to much to ask..

"it is a shame based culture'...sad that such things still exist..

I hope that the brats are immigrants that the ICE deports both them and their parents back to whatever shithole 3rd world country they come from.

I read that article last night at work and wondered, 'does this dude have any balls at all? good lord a Chicano would have gone hunting with his buddies for the dudes and they would have never seen juvenile hall..

I am still curious why this child was not being supervised by an adult..she was only 8 yrs old..my dtr was always in eyesight or at a place I _knew_ she was at at that age.

My heart goes out to that child... I hope she finds a family to love her.. but being in 'the system' is as brutal as being raped...

ARMYMOM: I would respectfully have to disagree.

[QUOTE... to expect a person to being "american'' overnight is simply to much to ask..

[/QUOTE]


No one is expecting an imigrant to become an American overnight. What is expected is that the imigrant make an honest and fruitfull attempt at becoming an American.

My family was from a mid-european country. My father's native tongue was not spoken in the house, because he WAS an American. He would speak their language with his brothers and sisters on occasion.

We were from a coal mining "patch" with other mixed races, dad never completed grade school (went into the mines at 13) but he could speak 4 or 5 other languages.

He told us he was never so proud in his life as the day he recieved his draft notice, because it PROVED he was now an American.

It seems the difference here is that in my fathers day, a hard and honest attempt was made at assimilating to the American way of life. Today, it feels like the imigrant wants the Americans to assimilate to thier way of life.

Im personally not interested in hearing about the problems various ethnic groups have to deal with in this country. The same has applied to every ethnic group that immigrated here, and much worse. Remember, when our parents and grand-parents immigratged here, we were NOT the PC nation that we are today.
