Summary:
Children are now being targeted for rape in South Africa. This gruesome report has pictures to describe different scenarios that have happened in South Africa as of recently. Sexual abuse is a big problem all over the world and more and more young infants and children are becoming victims. In this posting on CNN News each picture has a story. In one photo a child has tears streaming down their face because they are at a classmates funeral. The classmate was raped and murdered by a man who admitted to doing so. The guilty man was later beaten to death in prison. Children are especially vulnerable for molestation and rape because they are still learning and are very easy to convince. Another picture depicts women at a funeral of a three year old girls who was also raped and murdered. South Africa is battling this horrible and disgusting crime as they also have a high crime rate they are trying to combat.
Analysis:
Rape is an ugly horrible thing and the government does not have high enough punishment for it. There have been abusive rapist that only spend six months in jail and then are released back into the world. Most of them end back up in jail with a lot more time put on them but only after they have committed the same crime to another poor victim. Possession of drugs is taken more seriously than something way more harmful and destructive. Rape not only is taking away these children's innocence, its taking away the spark that every child should have. Many children who go through abuse are robbed of their childhood and joy. This is a very big deal and even in America not enough is being done.
