It has now become a daily event in South Africa that rape has to happen. The South African Broadcasting Corporation news channel 1 (SABC1) reported lastnight that a thirteen year old boy had been raping his younger sister since she was only a year old. It has been two years since the sexual assault begun without stoping, until the young girl was sent to a Doctor by her parents after having symptoms of flu. The Doctor told the parents that the girl was raped. The boy was shown (with his face encrypted) on the news saying that he didn't think what he was doing to his sister was wrong http://www.sabcnews.com/. Makes me really wonder. What is this country coming to when a thirteen year old boy can continuously rape his sister and see nothing wrong with it? Are mental disorders becoming illnesses that South African men contract after raping young girls? Because it seems to be a growing trend that young boys and men are raping young girls and women and then claiming to have mental disorders when they are caught. It is sad to know that there are people with real and serious mental disorders out there. to read more on such disorders visit http://www.mentaldisorders.com/.

Rapists should not not be let free just because they claim yo have some kind of mental disorder. Whatever their state of mind, they should be made to suffer the aftermaths of their actions as much as their victims will suffer years of endless trauma and post traumatic illness and disorders. Is the justice system making it easy for criminals to walk free because of claimed mental illnesses? Or has South Africa been so much of a free country that crimes such as rape are becoming acceptable to our societies, even if they affect the vicitms both phycically and psychologically?
Why would rape be wrong in our country when our President was accused of it and the nation believes he really did rape someone? These people lead and we follow. Mental illness or not, we should be able to tell wrong from right and children shouldn't be exposed to sexual environments because they learn quick. They think sex is normal and they can do with whoever, whereever.
ReplyDeleteThe sad thing is children today are mimicking what they see as normal from home.
DeleteI think our country should have a death penalty for these rapists by death penalty I mean if one rapes they must be hanged. The only way to stop this is if an example is made by a one person
ReplyDeleteThe death penalty must be brought back for sure. these criminals deserve it.
Deletei got so angry the other day when i saw that those rapists wer offered bail and that they on house arrest .thats not enough these people should be in jail n stay there they do not deserve to be out ther at all
ReplyDeleteI do not get how the justice system of this country works, it is like people are getting rewarded gor being corrupt.
DeleteWe really need to start changing our society because if issues such as rape are becoming more prevalent as opposed to being eradicated then our society truly is deteriorating.
ReplyDeleteI now agree with what Desmond Tutu said about this new government being corrupt and more oppressive than the apartheid government.
DeleteIt is a terrifying story indeed, rape is rape whether you mentally unstable or not at the end of the day you violated someone without their permission. I feel that the country is not doing rape victims justice by letting the rapists walk on grounds of mental disorder, they should be locked up and the key should be thrown away. And I also agree with Nyiko on bringing the death sentence back,at the moment it seems like the country's last resort at trying to do away with so many rape cases.
ReplyDeleteKids model what they see on TV...i realy think the government should burn some contents on the media that may promote this violant behaviour.this problem is very serious.
ReplyDeleteParents should also learn to be discreet when having sexual relations and not expose heir kids to such things.
DeleteI totally agree with you because they do a lot of untold harm to their victims.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you but it is not only males that rape.
ReplyDeleteI think that there is another side that we are not looking at.This type of actions are actually influenced by the devil's tricks.
ReplyDeleteThese peolpe need a dose of strong prayers and after that, they still do need to be punished for their appalling actions.
DeleteRape is rape and it's not excusable!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you there KeaRams, nothing should excuse such actions.
Deletea real person with a mental disorder wont rape, because they are distabed mentally, they just looking for something to hide with, they shoul go in jail.
ReplyDeleteI mean if you are realy mentally disturbed, shouldn't you be going around picking at bins rather than raping young girls and women? It just makes me angry how people use mental disorders to excuse their actions.
