TOO close to home...

[Flbt]

I don’t live in a neighborhood so….probably not got to worry about it around home here.
Some sick people in this world.
Society though changes over time. My grandma was married at 16 years old.
I don’t necessarily view someone 17 and over as a kid though. I was out of high school at 17 and taking college classes.

The age of marriage and what is not considered right now has changed
My dad good friends granddaughter was interested in me. They were fine if we got married. Him point out he was 17 and his wife 14 and that my own grand parents were teens when they married.
Her at 15 and me 18 I politely refused the offer .

With all this being said I do know of 1 case of statutory R. That I don’t think the guy should have been changed.
A 21 yo was found in a 17 yo bed by her mom.
She picked him up in a bar she had been drinking and smoking in the bar.
His defense was why would I ever think someone smoking and drinking in a bar would not be of age.
He did not get off I think he did 4 years and had another 3 on probation.

My friend I am truly sorry for your child.

Dealing with a child incident is why I went to work in the prison system instead of staying on the road. I was the second responder to a very bad incident
I am glad I was not the first.

I couldn’t agree more. Anybody who tries to harm a child (physically, sexually or otherwise) has automatically forfeit their right to life in my book.

One day in 1980, I received news that a local pirate clan (led by a pirate named Kabiraj who believed that he was a God in human form) had attacked a large Catholic Christian mission in Satkhira (the region bordering the Buri Goalini Forest Range of the Sundarban mangrove forests). When my men & I went to the Christian mission in order to survey the situation, I was absolutely filled with complete repulsion at what I was seeing. Over a hundred men, elderly women & children had been brutally murdered. The others had been mutilated but still left alive. We saw many villagers there with all four of their limbs hacked off. The pirates did all this to ensure that they would be facing no retaliation while they were kidnapping the young girls from the village. 37 girls had been kidnapped from the village. The Ministry of Forests were not taking the pirate attacks on the Christian missions around the Sundarbans seriously at all, because (at that time) Bangladesh’s CCF (Chief Conservator Of Forests) was a man named Abdus Sattar… A radical Muslim who viewed people from non Muslim faiths as inherently morally inferior.

Being a father myself of a two year old little girl (and having countless non Muslim friends who were extremely dear to me including my Catholic best friend Veronica)… I was extremely disgusted and reminded of certain incidents which I had witnessed during the Indo-Pak War of 1971. But this time, things were very different. I was in a position where I could actually do something about the matter due to my post as DFO. The Ministry Of Forests perhaps could not bring themselves to do something about the pirate attacks on these Christian missions, but I could. My governmental post basically made me a King in the administration of the Sundarbans. I swore that day that I would never let another child (or indeed, any person) under my charge get hurt ever again. I would protect them as if they were my own children. And I vowed to make an example out of Kabiraj (and all others like him). I did succeed in giving Kabiraj a taste of his own medicine and getting rid of him for good. I can’t openly admit to everything (for obvious reasons), but I think that you can get the idea…

Are you in Corrections ? It’s truly a noble but underappreciated profession.
