There was another article about an 11 yo who raped a 4 yo. India is fucked. I'm so sad thinking about it.

Sad? Sadness won't change anything. Be angry and put those monsters on trial, maybe even execute them. There's no coming back from some of the shit people do in India.

You just suggested executing an 11yo child for “being a monster” you may not have meant it this way but it what you replied to.

I understand your rhetoric, the feelings. Rape is monsters behavior. But please consider. Angry wont change anything. This kid is highly likely to be themselves a victim of rape.

The child is not the monster, the dynamics of the world they grew up in is the monster. People growing up with no opportunities and all bad examples.

Tackle the system, provide and support education. BE COMPASSIONATE and help provide people to meet their personal needs.

That is how i believe you stop this.

Compassion is synonym with inaction. So many people are "compassionate", but the ones who really solve all this are the people in the judicial system who put those people behind bars.

I understand your point, but some of these (the 11 year old notwithstanding) have no coming back. Compassion now will just allow them to hurt someone else later.

Yeah, sorry, no.

Just "toss people in jail" is a very USA solution and it just ends with mass incarceration, having more people and nahihger % of people in jail than China, while still having higher crime rates than Europe, and prisoners not having an option to go back to an actual life without crime.

I know that the "but revenge!" attitude feels good, but it hasn't solved anything in the US for deccades.

The article keeps getting worse as you keep reading.

I know Westerners like throwing out the term rape culture and it's valid and such but GODDAMN we're amateurs compared to what the powers that be did here.

Generally I'm not for harsh punishment but... This really is a case where that would work.
