Baby rape

I really didn't know which subject to post this under.
What on earth can we think of someone who rapes a rwo week old baby.
The child is reportably fighting for it's life.
Is this a result of violent video games or whatever is happening to society?

In my first year of teaching I had a little boy in my class whose father had sexually assaulted him as a baby. Understandably he was a very traumatised child.
So it regrettably is an awful thing that is not a new phenomena and totally abhorrent.

BlueBelle, in mentioning porn I'm not suggesting that this kind of abuse doesn't date back to the beginning of time, I know it does. However, the ease with which anyone can click a button and access horrific images/videos of child abuse must, imo, add to the likelihood of people who might have fantasised, beginning to act out their fantasies. That will be even more likely when they find like minded individuals on line and spend hours discussing their vile sexual fantasies.
It desensitises and normalises the frankly disgusting.

There was a pop singer in a group a few years back guilty of this crime I can’t for the life of me remember his name
I don’t think it’s about porn or video games it has happened long before they were around
It’s a shame it couldn’t be left to the prisoners really and I m a peace loving person

I was talking to a Dutch friend at the weekend, she recalled a case there where the man said in his 'defence' he wanted to see if it would fit. Nothing more to say really.

I fear that the easy access via the internet to extreme porn and to others whose sexual interests are dangerous to those on the receiving end of the activity, contributes to 'normalising' activities that no ordinary person would accept as in any way normal.

I remember a similar case long before the advent of video games, as I must have been 14 at the time.

I believe a policeman was in trouble for having punched the man responsible. A dear friend of my mother's remarked that the man could be thankful the police got to him before the women in the street he lived in did!

I too wonder if pornography does have at least the effect that some people are willing to think about such surely unnatural behaviour as rape (especially of children)?

I do know that one of the arguments for allowing the free publishing and sale of porn was that it would minimise sexual abuse - it may have done so to start off with, but I doubt it. Perhaps, to quote my (and no doubt others' grannies) it puts ideas into peoples' heads that don't come there naturally.

It is unthinkable but the sexual abuse, including rape of infants and toddlers has been reported throughout time. The alleged perpetrator is remanded in isolation to avoid other prisoners attacking him.
It's beyond my comprehension of course but its a fact that some people, mainly men, find infants and toddlers sexually attractive. Pedophiles often, but not always, are attracted to a particular age or gender of child. The rape of babies is so distressing, I feel for those charged with investigating the crime and caring for the baby, as well of course as for the baby's loved ones.
I can't believe that easy access to extreme pornography doesn't add to the extent of crimes against children.

I hadn’t heard of this heinous atrocity.
I didn’t want to click on to this thread because I knew I wasn’t going to like it.
I will now be trying not to read any more.
Why isn’t there an island where we can put these monsters.
Poor poor little mite.
What horror for her parents.

This is beyond comprehension, less than human, beneath contempt. What kind of justice could possibly fit the crime. Hideous.

MissAdventure Sat 06-Oct-18 17:00:26

Well, to access the dark net takes knowledge, so someone would be unlikely to just come across it without going looking.

Greyduster Sat 06-Oct-18 16:56:44

DH brought this to my attention this morning. Such depravity is beyond the normal human mind to comprehend. Like Ann my first thought was that the only thing that could prompt someone to do such a thing would be a constant access to the worst kind of porn; maybe the kind you read about people finding on the so-called “dark net”. But to see it is one thing; to do it is unthinkable.

I live in the general area of the hospital where baby was taken. The local police have a Facebook site (lots of them do). It is generally kept light hearted i.e. Watch out for frost....watch your speed.... Lock up your property, we 're at the ????? come and say hello......

Such a different tone in their FB page yesterday. They asked posters to be careful in what they say and post, that it is important that the prosecution cannot say that the accused is unable to get a fair trial.

People are very upset and very angry.
Poor poor baby.

Saw the headline and just couldn’t read any more, I’d like five minutes with him alone and a meat cleaver

GrannyGravy13 Sat 06-Oct-18 16:11:59

No words !!!!

Katek Sat 06-Oct-18 15:28:45

Yes, of the ‘I slipped in the shower’ variety. I hope he never has another peaceful night (wherever he ends up) and spends the rest of his life looking over his shoulder.

Anniebach Sat 06-Oct-18 15:03:05

A lot of injuries can take place by hand

BBbevan Sat 06-Oct-18 15:02:33

Sorry I am angry. Chopped off

BBbevan Sat 06-Oct-18 15:01:47

ninathenana I will complete it for you. .....should have his bits CHOOPED off !!!

It is wide spread in geography and time. Just so horrifying we cannot even bear to think about it, let alone talk about it.

MissAdventure Sat 06-Oct-18 11:05:41

I think the death sentence would be appropriate for the creature who did this.
The rest of my thoughts about it are probably best left unsaid and unwritten.

MawBroon Sat 06-Oct-18 11:02:51

Isn’t it awful that it is not possible to “unthink” the unthinkable?
For once the rough justice of prison life seems mild.

annsixty Sat 06-Oct-18 10:49:03

Perhaps porn was what I meant, the worst sort of porn.

FlexibleFriend Sat 06-Oct-18 10:09:20

That would be a very weird video game indeed, No he's just a sick individual.

FarNorth Sat 06-Oct-18 10:00:45

That is so vile. Has the disgusting creature been sentenced?
