The fact is we don't know for sure why a little girl would be raped. We all have our opinions, but they are just opinions. But the fact is also that we don't know what the result of that experience will be on her or the rest of the world. Those of you who immediately call the experience an atrocity are doing a disservice to the girl. IMO that is as incensitive as Mr. Vitale's remark.

The end result for Jessica Lundsford is that she was buried alive. I don't think it was that great a growth opportunity for her.
And I think the one doing her the 'disservice' was the grown man that repeatedly raped her, stuffed her alive into a trash bag and buried her under the steps.
Jesus Christ. Do you HONESTLY think that the fast track to personal development for a nine year old is being tortured and raped?? Well, damn. And here I have been protecting my daughter all this time when what I should have done was tart her up and send her over to hang out in a bad part of town.
This is the stupidest thing I think I have read here and I have read some stupid things. And YES, that is a big fat judgement and you know what? I cannot for the life of me even feel bad about it. You can pity me for being so undeveloped. It's OK, I am reciprocating by pitying you for being such an idiot.
