Rrrrrrrr.
As if the story about Brooke Bennett wasn't sickening enough, we have idiot writers pulling this shit:
The 14-year-old said she herself had been having sex with Jacques since she was 9, as part of the sex ring.
How goddamned hard is it to write "The 14-year-old said Jacques had been raping her since she was 9"?
We've got assholes who need to be shot in the head assaulting little girls and kidnapping them so that other assholes can have a crack at them, too, and altering their MySpaces so that mysterious 'internet strangers' can be blamed and people in the media who should know better enabling them because oh, an adult male is 'having sex' with a nine-year-old! Rape? Nah, of course not! We all know that doesn't exist. It's always a case of the slut asking for it, or the bitch lying, or the little Lolita tempting the poor guy! How was he supposed to help himself? Boys will be boys, after all!
I swear to god I am going to end up beating these jackasses to death with a copy of the dictionary.
ETA: Oh look! The latest headline! "Death penalty possible in Vermont sex-kidnap". KILL.

Holy fuck, she was eleven!! And this guy's the fourteenth person to get zapped for what he did to her? At least fourteen people?!
She's right though, five or ten years is ridiculous, they should get locked up for life. Raping a little girl is not a one-time aberration or a 'bad decision', that's showing that you're a goddamned monster who doesn't need to be among the rest of society.
((and no, you didn't sound callous at all. I just hadn't seen that case on the main page of Yahoo news, which I'm sure ties into a much larger problem of 'missing white girls' making the media sit up and pay attention more often))

See, the more ingrained that "You can't rape the willing and WoC are ALWAYS willing" is in society - including those who are victimized, then the easier it is to get away from explaining shit like this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DR0FRHd62GU), because you know - a developmentally disabled 7 year old child of Color being habitually sexually assaulted by the teenaged white boy on her bus - totally not the problem of the white driver.
But that didn't make the national news headlines, did it?
Rhetorical question....

I swear, the more I read of what some people are willing to do the more I want to just take all these kids and go live on a deserted island or something.

Exactly. I think it's tied in to that whole 'welfare queen' stereotype: "Well, you can't expect those people to keep their legs shut and that's why they keep having too many kids" (I actually heard this from somebody once. You'd think I wouldn't be surprised by people's utter nastiness anymore). It's sick.
