A Victim's Cry

Its really sad that in the last 2 years, the cases of rape have increased drastically, or do I say there has been a drastic increase in the media coverage of rape cases. Tearfully, majority of these victims are children who do not make it afterwards. Every girl we loose to rape is mother who should have changed her generation.

The act of rape still falls back to female gender violence. If men see women as the 'weaker' sex, are they not cowardly to beat them, derive 'pleasure' by hurting them and in most cases kill them?

Its not power! There's no victory in overpowering someone who you are already stronger than! There is no pleasure in hurting people! There is no victory in victimizing someone who is incapable of defending herself!

It is evening sickening when these victims are children. I was thought in biology that a girl only becomes sexually attractive at puberty. How does one look at a child and get aroused? Again I ask: How does one get sexually aroused by a two years old girl?

I think the cure to pedophilia should be castration. I may sound unreasonably bitter, but I'm speaking as a girl whose innocence and life has been brutally snatched before she had the opportunity to begin life, a lady who spends her years building a life and then watch it all sink into nothing in a split second! A mother who does not know the right words to say to her daughter who's been sexually molested! A soul who is regarded as an outcast for being a victim.

Everyday, we say something has to be done! Children are our heritage, let's protect them. Don't overlook a pedophile today, your ward may be his victim tomorrow.
