13 year old girl hides truth about giving birth to baby after being raped

[webfact]

 

A 13 year old Thai girl lied to her family and the police after giving birth because she was ashamed of being raped. Fearing that her family would not accept the truth, the girl lied that she found a newborn baby abandoned in a market in the Pathum Thani province, near Bangkok.

 

The young girl told her teacher on September 19 that she had found an abandoned baby girl in the market. The teacher then filed the discovery at Lat Lum Kaew Police Station so officers could search for the baby’s parents. The girl’s grandmother rushed to the police station the next day, September 20, to report that the abandoned baby was her granddaughter’s child.

 

The 13 year old had been raped, resulting in her pregnancy and childbirth. The grandmother added that she only discovered the truth on the day.

The girl later confessed to the police that she was afraid her grandmother would complain if she told the truth about being raped.

That is so sad for the poor girl

Sad? How would it be to report it directly, take a rape kit and jail the perp? Also a possibility to get rid of unwanted pregnancy. This only sounds like she wanted a baby together with the rapist. We must stop have compassion for stupidity, or the world will be a closed protective area for the not so intellectual.

Victim blaming and disgusting.

The above highlights a special kind of a$$holery reserved only for those at the very fringes of the callous and insensitive spectrum. 

 

Sometimes its better not to say / write anything at all...  for you, Gottfrid, that 'sometimes' becomes 'most of the time'.

Enough to tell my father, mother or relatives that something was wrong. Don´t have to be especially clever to do that.

No, I am not in any way blaming the victim for what happened. Just posting what she should and could have done. When that is not done, I assume that´s the was she wanted it to be. Where did I blame the girl for being raped? Please, by all means. Point that out!

I guess that means we do not share the same opinion, Richard?

Think grandma is a bit of a wacko.

You blamed a 13 year old for being ashamed for being raped and then alluded to ulterior motives.  Thats equally as nauseating as blaming the girl for being a victim. 

 

That you are unable to identify the similarity highlights your repulsive attitudes.

That sounds like a fair assumption. Probably blind as well, to not see her grand daughter getting bigger and bigger during 9 months.

I don't think you are missing anything. I simply think you are a repulsive being for not even attempting to comprehend that a 13 year who has been raped and is extremely frightened does not think the same as a repugnant ageing Scandinavian.

You weren't a 12 year old GIRL, in Thailand, where everyone knows the law lacks enforcement. Even in America, girls are reluctant to come forward because of shame, and knowing they will be put through hell, with the other party saying it was mutual. And this is yet another case of grandma being the parent, as there is no mention of a father or mother. And grandma didn't notice she was pregnant? Not aware, unless she was wearing very baggy clothes the whole time.

So, now you are telling that she is developed enough to feel shame for something she was forced to, but on that other hand you agree with @tomazbodner that she was not enough clever and experienced in other areas. I rest my case.

But she comprehend as much as feeling shame for something she could not do anything about. That´s quite advanced anyway.

Sorry, we are not all Australian, even if the citizens in that country wish to make it look like the world surrounds them.

No, saying what it sounds like, is considered to be an opinion. That is not same as blaming.

Thank you for letting me know. You know, sometimes the most popular post, sometimes the most sad, sometimes the most repulsive and sometimes the most disoriented. Let´s just say like this. If I were in the UFC, I had been winning all the belt classes.

Yes you are blaming her as you blame most victims especially young girls who have been raped and have babies.

 

I have seen d more empathy from a rock.

 

The next thing is that you are misunderstood, and didn't really mean it to come out that way.

Read your replies and then think about what you have stated rather than trying to wriggle out of  your completely thoughtless comments.
