Fact in Idaho a 10 year old girl gives birth. Fact she was the victim of statutory rape maybe as young as nine. Fact the man involved is 37. Fact he is an illegal alien. Instead of this case being about the poor girl and her baby, this case is sensationalized to be about an “Illegal Aliens Raping Little Girls”

This case is wrongly put in a light that says foreign people are horrible monsters, but does nothing to draw any attention to the medical or social facts surrounding the case. There are some reports (from unnamed sources mind you so I will not give them the credibility of providing links) that say this girl “dressed like a whore”, “flaunted her wares at older men”, and “went as far as begging men to let her spend time at their homes”. I can’t confirm these, but that isn’t the point. If this was happening why didn’t anyone speak up?

A few reasons no one said a word was probably the fear of deportation or bringing in outsiders to the immigrant community. I am sure a number of people said to themselves I know what is going on, I am sorry about it, but I have to protect my own family. We need these people to be here and work, but since there is too many good political bullet points, no one is willing to take one for the team and say, we need them and more if our economy is going to survive long term.

Another reason is how we have sexualized our young girls. Miley Cyrus’s bare back is nothing compared to the marketing campaigns and trend happy mothers that will put their no hip toddlers in low cut jeans and thongs or buying their preteen the high cut skirt and thinking the current commando fad for girls that age is cute. We sexualize these girls, but never bother to talk to them about sex. Oh sometimes we get into tizzies and scream don’t have it. We never talk to them about sex, relationships, or much important in life for that matter.

In the end the story of this girl and everything she went through is going to be lost because we start the conversation off by shouting, “Illegal Immigrants Are Child Rapists!”
