I don't care what conditions lead to this behavior, it should be punishable by death or long prison sentences.

Agreed. That's sick.

That's part of the problem in these indigenous communities. Totally isolated, no police, no health support, terrible drug and alcohol abuse.... and then you've got the issues of "tribal" or indigenous laws that they often use in these communities.

You mean to say that aboriginal laws allow this deviant behavior or is it that the guilty are somehow protected from prosecution by these laws? Either way, it's just wrong.

However way you spin it, raping anyone at any age is simply wrong. I don't care what anyone else has to say. It's wrong. And 7 months just makes ited up. Maybe we should go rambo on these folks...

This is also a very common issue in Indonesia.

I'm not real thrilled with the splinter groups of the Mormon Church who still practice polygamy. Some of the girls forced to marry these animals are 12 years old.

Agree with ya on that one boss. To me that crap is using religion to excuse pedophilia.

Here here, crack down on the lot of them sick bastards. You haven´t seen me on my most conservative yet, but this topic gets me in a proper mood. There are no words that can excuses this behaviour and the penalty should be severe..... and I wouldn´t mind executing the punishment!
