UK Police charge 2 boys, both aged ten, with the rape of an eight year old girl

[Xlacier]

I found this quite unsettling:


"It is a fact that a woman born in South Africa has a greater chance of being raped, than learning how to read."

The article is somewhat dated; from April 9, 2002.

That'll really help.

They should jail the parents of these dogs as well.

Do you read the Daily Mail by any chance?

 

[FrisianDude]

Actually, I think that's half agreeable.

 

[Taimat396]

I dont. At all. Guy in school had something like a 15% attendance rate in year 11. His mam got to the point where she offered him twenty quid every week he went to school every day. So he came in for the register, then went down wath and got stoned to hell. That her fault?


'Sides, the sun is worse.

 

[FrisianDude]

Yes, shouldn't have raised her kid to be such a **** and then try to bribe him out of it.

 

[Taimat396]

She didn't, that was us 

(Truth be told, I went to his house one time when I was 8. Had an awesome time (Stopping up all night on smash bros and cheap energy drinks was fun at the time), but I'd never go back there. His dad came round once a month, bought him beer, gave him a tenner or so and ****ed off. His aunt had somehow managed to move in with her two kids, and his older sister had just had a baby. So it wasn't entirely his mams fault - she spent the whole time I was there trying to stop her nephews from ****ing about and taking care of the baby.)

Why I man!

Wrong accent. Completely wrong

I am a farmer, now get off my land, arse hole!

 

[The Elusive Mr. Hunt]

You got both wrong! Its "Why aye man", and "Get orf my land!"

I'm not yet pissed enough to allow a downfall of grammar, I'm on my 3rd can of Woodpecker, so it won't be long.

Thats your problem right there.

Tha'n needs to get on t'proper stuff lad.

"It is a fact that a woman born in South Africa has a greater chance of being raped, than learning how to read."

Well, she can't read the signs stating "Beware, rapists operate in this area".

 

[Tyrant]

Too little details in the report to judge. I can't make any evaluation on how interesting this bit of news with a simple explanation of, "AN EIGHT YEAR OLD GIRL SAID TWO TEN YEAR OLD BOYS RAPED HER SO THEY ARRESTED THEM." How about what the girl said? What did the two boys say? What did ALL OF THEIR PARENTS SAY? WHAT WERE THE CONCLUSIONS OF THE INVESTIGATORS AFTER SPEAKING TO THE GIRL, THE TWO BOYS, AND THEN THE PARENTS?

WHAT DOES OPRAH HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THIS?!

Either there is simply a lack of information, the law system in the UK is black and white, or the person that typed this up, REALLY sucks at his/her job. I mean, a picture of handcuffs over the london flag- simply no picture would make it easier for me to read without scrolling.

DUMB.

So basicly they arrested 2 10 year olds just beacuase of a girl's word. That is so sexist in so many ways. No evidence, no proof, only a person's word, no witnesses. stupidity:1 common sense:0

 

[Mage246]

Having at one point been a 10-year-old boy, I'm inclined to think that they did it. Children are such nasty like monsters.

 

[FrisianDude]

8 year olds can be as nasty as ten year olds so they may very well not have done it.

 

[killkhergit]

8 year olds can be as nasty as ten year olds so they may very well not have done it.

Would this whole story be true?

Nah.

Seriously, an eight year old girl knowing perfectly fine what 'rape' means? Would have sounded rather funny to her mom.

And the boys, aged ten... What the ****? Where did they get all their ideas from?

It was 4 cans for £2 I couldn't resist!
