“If you take out uncovered meat and place it outside on the street or in the garden or in the park, or in the backyard without a cover and the cats come and eat it . . . whose fault is it, the cat’s or the meat? The uncovered meat is the problem. If she was in her room, in her home, no problem would have occurred.”- Sheik Taj Aldin al Hilali  as posted @ Woman’s Space (in the Margins)

Warsaw October 25 2006 at 08:39PM A 14-year-old schoolgirl from northern Gdansk committed suicide after she was stripped in front of her class by five boys, who then simulated the girl’s rape, the police said on Wednesday.

“On Friday, when the teacher was out of the classroom, five boys undressed the girl in front of her classmates and then started to touch her intimate parts and simulated the sex act with her,” said Jaroslaw Sykutera, a spokesperson for the Gdansk police.

“One of the aggressors recorded the incident on his mobile phone,” he added.

Australia October 24, 2006 A 17 year old developmentaly delayed girl was lured by two boys from her home to a park where she was sexually assaulted, burned, urinated on by a group of up to 14 teen age boys. They uploaded the video to youtube where it was viewed 9,000 times online.

Within minutes, the developmentally disabled girl reported the alleged assault to a special-education teacher, who said the girl “looked dazed and confused and was crying.”

But school officials didn’t immediately notify police for fear of media attention, in violation of state law. When the girl’s father arrived, he was asked not to call 911. He called police anyway.

California Wednesday, November 8, 2000Nine Berkeley boys repeatedly raped a developmentally disabled 12-year-old girl in nearly a dozen locations around the city, police said yesterday.

The girl, who attends special education classes at Willard Middle School, was allegedly raped multiple times over a five-hour period Oct. 25, but police withheld the information, said Berkeley police Lt.

    This is a good post, though not a very pleasant subject.

    This business of videotaping violent assaults is a disturbing development. Some youth seem to think it’s just a TV show, if you film it. The reality of what they’re doing seems to be lost on them.

    I don’t have any solution to offer … just tons of sympathy for the victims.

    Stephen, I don’t know what the solution is either, but I have a feeling, you struck the nail on the head with your expression of having ‘tons of sympathy for the victims’. I think any solution we, as a community could come up with will have to revolve around the human capacity for empathy.

    Thank you so much for your words here, your wisdom shown here is a beacon of light. I hope others reading your words will also consider speaking to others about what sympathy and compassion means to them.

    Only the best regards for you, Stephen
    Hazel.

    The solution is clear. We need a social response which does not accept these acts and immediently punishes the ppl comiting them.

    It is sick and those responsible should have their balls cut off!

    Simple …..
