This is absolutely shattering<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In short, the situation is that a Florida woman, in order to deal with her 13 year old daughter ‘having sex with older men’, shaves her head and forcibly pierces her genitals, so as to make sex more painful for her daughter. The problem is (or at least, one of many many problem is) that the ‘older man’ she was having sex with was her mother’s 30 year old boyfriend . . . and rather than deal with this as ‘oh god, my boyfriend committed a horrible criminal violation on my daughter,’ she apparently<\/em> dealt with it as, ‘my slutty daughter is trying to take my man.’<\/p>\n

The prosecutor, fairly reasonably (IMHO) pushed for a greater crime than child abuse, and the jury acquitted.<\/p>\n

Or, as La Lubu put it in comments:<\/p>\n

Shit, damn, motherfucker. Lemme see if I got this straight\u2014<\/p>\n

1. Boyfriend rapes 13-year old daughter.
\n2. Mom does not call police on boyfriend; mom blames daughter.
\n3. Mom has daughter\u2019s head shaved, in the hopes that boyfriend will find daughter too ugly to fuck.
\n4. Boyfriend continues to rape daughter. For years.
\n5. Mom has friend \u201cpierce\u201d daughter\u2019s genitalia, in such a way that it will make it even more painful for the daughter when mom\u2019s boyfriend rapes her again.
\n6. \u201cPiercing\u201d gets infected.
\n7. Child protection finally called in.
\n8. Piercer goes to jail.
\n9. Mom put on trial for the piercing, but not for allowing the rapes? WTF, Chuck?
\n10. Mom acquitted.
\n11. Finally, an arrest warrant is put out for mom\u2019s rapist boyfriend.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Christ, this poor girl. This makes me very angry. My fists are clenching and I am seeing red. I want to break something. As other people mention in coments, possibly the worst part is that now it’s likely that the daughter will be sent back to live with her mother.<\/p>\n

Her mother who blamed her for her own rape. Her mother who shaved her head. Her mother who violated her. Her mother who held her down as a needle was pushed through her genitals. Her fucking mother<\/em>.<\/p>\n

A while back, in one of our discussions of Male Circumcision<\/a>, I made the point that I consider nonconsensual and elective alteration of another person’s genitals is unacceptable, period, whether you’re the parent or not. As chance would have it, at the time, I compared<\/a> circumcision to piercing your child’s genitals against their will. There were some people who argued that nonconsensually piercing your kid’s genitals is actually no big deal.<\/p>\n

I wonder where those people are now, and I hope they’re ashamed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
