I think it is safe to say that people who commit crimes against others, most presumably against children (sexually and physically) are wired wrong.
That someone could look another living, breathing thing in the face and torture it and hear it's cries and see the pain makes them practically inhuman.
At that point, to say that they were abused is crap, being abused they know what it's like to be on the other side.
You are not guarunteed anything when you come into this world, not race, not ---, not economic position, not your parents, nothing..... Each person has many crossroads, a place where they choose, choose to continue the path they are on or deviate for better or for worse.
As a parent, it is your job to give your offspring the best set of tools to take out into the world. I realize there are alot of parents who can't give two craps about that.
There is not enough information in this story to know whether this is a problem child that is hellbent on defying authority or a neglected child who's parents aren't keeping proper tabs. It says mom and dad reported them as missing. Obviously, there is some degree of care there although I don't know. I know that I would not have known where my daughter was at that age. I made it my job to watch over her and she respected the rules enough to abide by them. We don't know if this kid sneaks out, perhaps taking the sister with her rather than being ratted out (been there done that myself). The fact that in spite of her being raped, she is also locked up leads me to believe she has been a chronic problem child. Locking up a ---- victim surely must have something behind it to warrant it.
After an innocent child has been raped and exploited violently who gives a flying rat's butt about what may have happened to the perpetrators?
Perhaps those that are feeling sorry for the possible chemical embalances and past abuse would feel differently if their baby daughter was the one torn and bleeding.
I think most people if asked would say that their childhood was dysfunctional. Where is the line drawn? It has become the standard reaction to just assume that because someone is a monster that it's because of past abuse. That disgraces the true victims. The ones that suffer immeasurably and make something positive. Frankly, I think there are more of those than "monsters" but they don't draw the sensationalism in the press.
Just because someone grows up poor doesn't make them abused, just because someone doesn't have two parents doesn't make them abused.
I am sick to absolute death with people getting sympathy in spite of horrible crimes because they were abused and/or weren't in their right mind. Well, duh, that's because most people would have at least enough self control to not want to willingly torture or kill another human being. They can't be in their right mind but that's not a reason to allow them back out to roam the streets.
I think the victim is the younger sister, she wasn't really old enough to fully understand the implications.
