Thread: Horrible crime - Thoughts?

It depends what environment they end up in. If she was to survive and go back to her mother there's no chance she'll recover..if she was able to be provided with loving parenting it will hurt and it will be a long road but often people who have come from terrifying experiences are the ones who can help others through it in the future...I certainly wouldn't want my child to die unless they were horrifyingly disfigured and can gain no quality of life under any circumstances.

That is a horrible thing. I haven't heard of the case.
There are probably people who have survived such things. Its hard to know whether life is worth living after such a thing. I think some people could end up on such a destructive path after having endured such things. But some people do come out the other side.

We had a case in our town where a mother gave her daughter to her boyfriend so he could take her virginity. The boyfriend blackmailed the mother saying he would post the photos of her performing bestiality on the internet if she didn't let him have sex with her daughter. The whole thing was found out when the girl ran away from this boyfriend and someone found her. I wonder how long it would have gone on if she hadn't managed to get away. That was several years ago, and the mother just recently went to court for it. The girl is now a young woman, and just from interviews with the press and stuff, she seems to be on a path of healing. Obviously her relatonship with her mother has been destroyed forever, but she seemed quite grounded. I hope that she's as stable as she appears, but there would be alot of hurt underneath it all.

I get so upset when i see these horrible things that people do to innocent children

I don't know. Kids are so incredibly resilient. Where I'm currently working we have several kids coming from some pretty shady situations and some of their stories absolutely break my heart - but they're in happy, stable and loving homes now and they're thriving. They are such sweet and bright kids. That's not to say some of them won't always be facing some sort of demon, or have issues for the rest of their lives - but the measurable differences in them since they came to us, or have been placed in better homes is amazing. They've grown leaps and bounds...not only developmentally, but personality wise too.

That's the best part and the biggest down fall of kids - they're so trusting and forgiving, especially at a young age like that.

I think if a child survived that sort of situation - they could come out on top. As long as they had someone who loved them and was willing to take all the necessary steps to do everything they could to make sure they were given the best chance at recovering from the trauma.

No.... The girl has a father, too. Obviously, I don't feel bad for the mother.

you ask some de da dee questions.
