I am so sad…

I heard a very bad news yesterday that really made me wanna scream.

A girl of 4 years, niece of mine got raped. From what I understood – by her very own uncle at her father’s side. She’s just a baby, damn it! She didn’t deserve this.

She used to be a very bubbly girl, mischievous and playful and now from what I have heard she just kept to herself, quiet most of the time.

The doctor they went to refused to examine her because he didn’t want to testify in court.

What the F*ck? I mean what’s wrong with these people. Is this world just getting crazier than ever?

I told my mom about it and she said, they should go to the NBI and have her examined there. I hope that they prosecute whoever did this to her.

I don’t know how this child will grow up. There’s no support group in the Philippines for rape victims like in developed countries.

Her mom is in another part of the world – not really showing any concern for her kids. Her family think she’s lying when she says she has no work there – an acquaintance sees her hanging out with friends and living like a bachelorette.

The girl’s grandmother took her in her care for now but life is really difficult as they hardly make ends meet.

    Sana bitayin kung sino man ang gumawa sa niece mo. Kawawang bata. I will pray for her Jade. I hope she’s gonna be OK.

    this is an outrage Jade! Grabe naman! 4 years old!!! I vote for the death penalty here! Words cannot express my anger when I read your post.

    I do hope that Cacai won’t sustain any permanent damage.

    I pray for her, Jade.

    I think children are very precious today, parents must really take care of them. Even teen too.

    Hi Jade! This is really devastating news. From what place in PI again? Here in Cebu, there are a number of NGOs we can rely on when it comes to children’s rights.

    I hope the little girl’s future will be still bright.
    I hope that depraved man will be punished that will make him sorry for life!!

    I once wrote about Child abuse on my blog, and I found helpful url information about domestic violance for many countries. I think you can reach some contacts in Philiphines here:

    Send the criminal to the gas chamber, sorely missing in the Philippines. If he is not a psychiatric case, he is under the influence of shabu.

    I am sorry to hear this happening to a relative, Jade. Also her immediate psychiatric rehabilitation must be first and foremost.
