Life Your Daughter

Direckshun · 09-22-2009, 04:16 PM

Warning, this is a slightly disturbing topic.

I was reading this essay about how sex laws have actually created a bit of a monster in our youth, in that our daughters are far more likely to be sexually assaulted by somebody in their teens than they are by anybody in their 20s or 30s or the ages of men we see in To Catch a Predator.

How much more likely?

Well:

It's a brilliant article on this phenomenon, one of the best pieces I think I have ever read.

But my question is what you'd do if this happened to your daughter.

If your daughter came home and claimed she had been seriously sexually assaulted (including but not necessarily raped), what would you do? Would you turn him in, or would you track him down and exert your own brand of justice?

Think about it -- I'm not asking for reactionary or prove-how-tough-you-are. I'm asking you to think about your life situation. With everything in your life that depends on you right now -- what would you do?

It would be made into a movie. Because I'd honestly put it in the system's hands at first...and if it failed me.....he would get tortured until he died.

I don't think I'd be able to restrain myself, actually. But having three older brothers would help.

I think this would be my answer, as well. Having no children, however, I can't say for sure.

I am fortunate to have two boys and no girls. My wife always says it's a good thing we have no girls because I'd make her boyfriend's life a living hell. I am assuming this attack was totally unprovoked and uncalled for. I would beat the perp senseless and then call the cops to take care of him.

**The Franchise** · 09-22-2009, 04:22 PM

And FWIW.....I'm not to sure that the sicko would need to be worrying about me. My wife would kill him before I even got near him.

**Bowser** · 09-22-2009, 04:24 PM

Turn him in. It would be a monumental effort of self restraint to not bust the little ****er up, though.

There's a steep learning curve from 10 to 14. They must be well educated.

Turn the matter over to the police. Ultimately, nothing good can come from exacting your own vengeance except momentary satisfaction.

Edit: I posted before reading the article. I believe I misunderstood the premise.

In a lot of cases, they're prosecuting kids, male and female for sexual activity that kids have always done. So, the kid gets his life ruined and his picture on the web for 10 years because him and his girlfriend went too far and her parents found out or whatever. And don't get caught streaking or mooning somebody. It's taken (way too) seriously these days.

Sexually assaulted but not raped? Sooo...whats the difference?

If my daughter were a teenager and if she were claiming to have been "seriously sexually assaulted", then I would have to trust the child I have raised to be truthful about such a serious accusation. I would contact the police and take her to a hospital.

What would the alternatives be? If the boy really is a sexual criminal, giving him an ass-whipping or talking to his parents won't take him off the street.

Tough question. According to the law, there are two types of teenage boys. Sex offenders, and those who are trying to be.

Fritz88 · 09-22-2009, 04:57 PM

Let's see. If I turned him in, he would be labeled a sexual offender. Would get rejected from many jobs, not everyone would want to live in his neighborhood and might get a few years in jail where he would ultimately drop the soup.

If I wanted to exert my own brand of justice, I might do some damage but I could end up in jail as well because I might kill him or smash his leg or even put a baseball bat up his rectum.

Turning him in would be the wise move.

I don't have kids so I might be less emotionally invested in this. If I had a kid I might change my opinion.

This is an outstanding take.

Some kid gets his life ruined because a girls parents wig out about her having sex.
