PARENTS: listen up.

Some sad, sad facts in the ole newspaper today.

All statistics used are cited from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

Nearly 50% off all rape victims are under the age of 18.

29% of rape victims are between the ages of 12 and 17 yrs old.

Doing a little math, that comes up to somewhere about 21% must be younger...probably more like 17-18 percent...but that's greater than 1 in 10!!

You have a daughter? Does she have 4 friends? Think of them..their names...

Chances are one of them has been 'sexually exploited'RAPED
Sorry, just cutting through the media doublespeakese.


If you have a son, does he have 9 friends...well...you guessed it. 1 out of 10 boys are sexually molested before they reach adulthood.

They just did a presentation in our area focusing on the idea that it isn't always strangers who do these things. Soemtimes it's friends.


With RT's thread about the 18 yr old girl and all, well, it seemed fitting. And sad.

No. The statement "21% of rape victims are under 12" is not equivalent to "21% of girls under 12 are raped".

The study in the april 1994 American Journal of Public Health states that with the younger victims, 20 percent of the attackers were fathers and an additional 16 percent were other relatives. Your warning to PARENTS may be misplaced.

I am not sure why you seem so surprised! After all, one of the leaders of the family values party, is on public record that people who engage in slavery and child prostitution are showing the "best" of America's values (delay on guam, google it) when they particiapate in such behavior.

In addition, the other family values - non activist judges - by an overwhelming majority continue to excuse, codle AND actually work to REDUCE the penalties for such crimes!

If anything the numbers, just like with adult rape (probably even more) are vastly under reported.

Okay. I Googled "Tom Delay, Guam, best of America's values" and got nothing that relates to what you are saying.
