A shocking story is emerging from the state of Texas.
According to KHOU.com, a ten-year old girl has been arrested for allegedly
raping a 4-year old boy. The incident reportedly took place in the apartment
complex where they both lived.
In a report that aired on the station, the girl’s mother is
suggesting that her child’s behavior was innocent and that she did not intend
to inflict harm on the other child. The mother told reporters, “She was just
being a child having fun and playing,” the girl’s mother said. “She didn’t know
she was doing anything wrong.”
The investigator for the Houston Police Department tells a
very different story. After the allegations were made, a juvenile sex crimes
investigator was assigned to the case. Although the incident took place in
April, investigators needed to gather as much evidence as possible before an
arrest could be made. They gathered enough that the ten-year old was arrested last week.
The young girl is reported as saying, “Me and my mom were
crying and then she took me to the police car,” said the little girl accused of
the heinous crime. “I didn’t want to get in [the car].”
The mother goes on to say, “Just to see her looking through
those bars screaming for me to get her out was a nightmare.”
Despite the mother’s insistence that her daughter had done
no wrong, the girl was taken to a juvenile facility. There, she was
fingerprinted, issued a standard jumpsuit and spent 4 days locked up before she
had a chance to appear before a judge.
As of now, the specific details of the case have not been
disclosed to the public. It is also unclear as to how the four-year old is
doing after such a traumatic event.

This is perverted on so many levels. Who is to blame? Is it the media and large fashion brands that sexualize children? Is it the parents for not embedding right moral values in the child? What kind of home did this girl grow up in? What kind of violent sexual crimes has she witnessed herself?
ReplyDeleteThese are pertinent questions. Having said that, I am appalled at a system that would arrest a 10 year old girl, naming her a "rapist" and putting her behind bars. If anything she needs counselling, deliverance prayers, and a healthy family environment.
