QuoteAn eight-year-old boy was raped twice and sexually abused by a boy four years older, a court heard on Monday.
Liverpool Crown Court was also told the 12-year-old forced the boy to have sex with an eight-year-old girl.
The accused, from Wigan, denies two rape charges and seven offences of indecent assault.
He also denies three charges of inciting the boy to have sex with the girl, eight. The offences allegedly took place between April and July 2005.

Baby Aaron was battered and burnt by his father

A father who battered and burnt his son to death has been given a life sentence after being convicted of murder.
Paul O'Neil, 33, from Newcastle, held the face of his three-month-old son Aaron against a gas fire after becoming jealous of the attention he got.
The judge said O'Neil, of Banbury Road, Kenton, should serve 22 years minimum.
Aaron's mother Jodie Taylor, 21, was sentenced to three-and-a-half years after admitting cruelty by failing to provide adequate medical attention.
O'Neil was also given sentences of 14 years for causing grievous bodily harm and five years for cruelty, with all the sentences to be served concurrently.
He had admitted cruelty, but denied murder and five GBH charges, between November 2004 and February 2005.
The jury of eight men and four women heard how Aaron was beaten and burned so badly that he died 92 days after he was born.
There was also evidence of a cigarette burn on Aaron's shoulder and a scalding injury.
O'Neil had used "unforgivable violence" against his son because he resented the attention the youngster was getting from his mother, the court heard.
The jury deliberated for two-and-a-half days before returning a guilty verdict on the charges of murder and of inflicting the burns to Aaron's face and hands.
He was cleared of one charge of inflicting GBH with intent - that of fracturing his son's legs.
The jury was unable to reach verdicts on three charges of GBH - inflicting two skull fractures and a rib fracture. The judge ordered these counts to lie on file.
The court heard Taylor was "trapped" in a relationship with the domineering O'Neil and was afraid to report what he had done.

I wouldve hanged him, but i can't.
Consider this if you will. Worse things (from other perspectives) happen day after day. You hear of priests molesting children even though they have taken a solemn vow of celibacy. Michael Jackson, who has been tried for child molestation on numerous accounts and further evidence of child pornography on his computers.
I remember watching the telly one day and they had a brother and sister who's father had forced them to have sex with each other when they were 6-7 years of age. The worst thing about it, is that he forced them to do it every day and practice when it wasn't time for him to watch. Oh and then the father would take turns with the son.
Or for instance, over in the third world countries were "primitive" tribes are still present. They believe that to rid themselves from AIDS infestation, they must have sex with virgins...which can range from 12 months old to 2 years old.
The world is a disgusting place and unfortunately not all of these criminals are caught. Instead they keep doing what they are doing, and enforcement just hopes that eventually some of the victims will have enough courage to step forward.
Some people are just horrible.

Heh ... yeah.
What are those ppl getting by doing this?
They probably think that Samuel Jackson is telling them things like "kill the cat" inside their head. They're just insane.
In sweden some parents was beating up there son to death, and the father dumped the body in the lake outside the house. Now thats sick to me :S
That is really really sick. All these people should just be killed.
Live and let live..
If you cant die u have no reson to kill....DAMN IT!

They need to be shot, thrown in a fire, pissed on, and thrown back in. THAT SHOULD BE THE LAW! WILL ANYONE JOIN MY PROTEST?
Life in torture is far worse than death by fire. Metal hooks trough the eyes, armpits, and kneecaps I say.
Let them hang around, but don't let them die...too good for 'em. ;)

Adrenaline rush most likely.

i dont agree with torture, or maybe death by hanging over a fire, so you just sweat to death. and also youll be starved and will inhale many smoke.
Here's one, it was used in the civil war. It's a way to hang someone if you don't have a gallows. You tie the rope, and set them up on a horse. Then, yuo get that horse going, eventually the victim swings forward and back, being killed even faster than a regular hanging, due to the added effect of the momentum from the horse.

I don't quite understand that. ??? They would be sitting on the horse...and...? lol. I'm lost.
And, this is why I don't watch the news (often). Even reading those quotes/newspaper articles made me feel sick to my stomach (
which brings up a question. Why do people say they're sick to their stomach? Where else would you get sick, your kneecap?). Anyways, I think a lot of those people deserve life in jail. Especially if they take someone else's life, or like...decrease their quality of life (?).
I don't think last part of that sentence is correct, I couldn't get the right words out.
Oops! The other end is supposed to be tied to a tree, forgot to type that part...
Aha! I figured that, but wasn't quite sure. Thanks for clearing that up. :)
OOH! I just remembered a REALLY vicious one! IT's from the dark ages, it involves more beasts of burden tied to rope.
You take four horses (or something equally fast/powerful) and tie a rope around each of their abdomens respectively. Then, you tie a horse to a guys arms and legs (one rope per limb), and set the animals off running. Guy is torn APART. The term for this is, "Drawn and Quartered."
...I think I should be glad I don't know you (and that I'm not on your bad side!).
That would hurt so bad. I don't think I'd wish for anyone to die like that. lol
Yeah, it was pretty gruesome.
Course, that's NOTHING compared to what the Catholic Church used to do...
Of course, all these 'punishments' (if that's what you'd like to call them) also bring up the question, "What on earth is wrong with some people?" lol
Seriously, I don't think hurting someone because they've done something bad is the right answer. They should be punished (scolded?)...but not in a physical way (hanging, crazy horse tying..stuff..). It's just like hitting your child because they don't listen. I don't see how that would make things better, other than maybe have your child scared of you (or angry at you), and it might just make matters worse.
And the guy who killed the baby...that is just sick and twisted. Of course a baby is going to get more attention than you, without it the baby can't live, whereas you can. Some people... -shakes fist-
Okay, I'm done my weird, all over the place...rant(?).
You have a point...
A human beings mentatlity is far weaker than it's physical embodiment. Control the brain and you control all of them.
I won't EVEN go into what I could do with a brain...
i watched this movie |(i cant remember what its called) 2 men and a woman were tied to posts and these weird creatures went at them like a mighty bazooka. In the end, they pulled out big glowing sticks and killed the monster though. then these guys in white suits came, and it lost me there.
I am truely surprised. :o
This kid must be a genius, I am 16 and still can't get laid!
I thinks you mean teh Starwars 2 were obi-one, aniken and padmay get tied to sandstone pillers and then 3 dexoreys chomp into them but they pull out there light sabers and chop the dexoreys up and then the good jedi council invade to help them but the battle droids come into the fight and there like BAMB BAMB BAMB and the jedi are like Swish Swish Swish and everyones like OMG THEY'VE GOT TEH LIGH SABERS, and boba fetts kid get to see his father die by geting Owned by mace windu
I don't know who's torturing method to death this is, but it is worth mentioning here.
They tied person's limbs to four horses, each horse looking in other direction. And then they would scare horses so that they start to gallop. And person would bleed to death after some time without it's limbs.

I like the fact that story was so sloppily put together that there is mention of an 8 year old boy... then a mention of an 8 year old girl. Completely confusing me. The 12 year old boy was probably raped himself and conditioned for sexual habbits by others.

HAG = Horrible And Gay
The perfect word to describe this wierd act...
Here's another horrible thing.
In instances of when parents or guardians kill autistic children for whatever stupid reason, they always get off much lighter than if the child had been born outside the Autistic Spectrum.
It's almost as if the juries and judges don't think that the children are worth as much as normal kids, or that they're barely human.
Disgusting, isn't it?
Yes, quite. There's an obvious double standard here. For instance, a family living in a ghetto (black. Shouldn't matter, but it is a major point in this case) had a child that they had been sending to school for a long time. It was very hard for the boy, because he was constantly harassed by a small gang of other kids that was at the same high-school as he was. The boy is fifteen. His parents went so (poor family remember) far as to get a SECURITY SYSTEM INSTALLED, to make sure the boy was safe. They spent most of their savings on it. So, you can see the severity of this problem, right? One day, a number of the bullies were at her door, and the mom couldn't take it any longer. She grabbed a gun, and gave one to her son. They fired into the crowd, mostly to scare them off, with (as far as I can tell/know) no intention of hitting anyone. Was this the right move? Of course not, but people are people, and they can only take so much. The mother actually iht someone by accident. They are going to be fine, but the mother and the son are in jail. They are going to be tried in an upper-city court, mostly white, wealthy.
So they decide they want to try the boy as an adult. Why? He never hit anyone, and it's not likely (by a LONG shot) that he convinced his mother to do this. Moreover, it's more likely it was the other way around! He's been bullied for a VERY long time, now he's probably going to get ass-raped in juvie, and then they want to try him as an ADULT!
I thought we were past this kind of thing, put apparently, once again, I put too much faith into man-kind.
You think that trying someone as an adult for firing a gun into a group of kids is evidence of a double standard?
If it was a white underage child who had been harrassed for as long as he was, it would have been all, "oh pity the poor child."
Sorry, meant to say that, got in a hurry. ;D
Where do you get that idea from? People arer cracking down harder than ever on kids regardless of race because of ridiculous zero tolerance laws. If the kid was middle class and white it would have made people think of Columbine and his guild would have been decided before he ever saw a courtroom.
While I see your point, I disagree. I won't argue that point though, it would be spam.
So let's get back on topic. You know what else is fucked RIGHT up? Everyone jumping all over Opera's new school. Yeah, she has a lot of money, and she tried to help. Then everyone gets all gossipy and makes it look like a publicity stunt. So she has to pull an ACTUAL publicity stunt to get people off her back!
I don't even LIKE Opera- much the opposite in fact- and I think that's TOTAL bullshit.
*Oprah
HAHAHHAA that's right. ;D
Yes, it's Oprah...
But yeah, i'm not a huge fan of Oprah, but she's spreading the wealth, and I respect that.
Like that one time when she gave a car to everyone in her audience. She's just saying thank you (in a sense).
I remember when I was a freshman in high school and this girl had some baby hamsters that she managed to save from some teenaged assholes who threw them on the ground and started stepping on them.
Oh my fucking lord.
Seriously.
After I heard that I wanted to adopt one of them, but my mom wouldn't let me.
Honestly, Oprah really isn't too great. I admire her work in Africa and such, but giving a free car to the audiance? That's almost flaunting your wealth and trying to gain mass public attention. I agree with Arrow-1.

(Don't take this the wrong way, I'm not trying to push you away OR shoot myself in the foot here.)
This proves my point. There's no way of knowing for sure what her intentions are when she gives cars to EVERYONE in the audience at (what is supposed to look like) utter random. So we assume the most logical, being that she wants to LOOK good. Is this true? We dunno, but it seems like it. So when she starts her school in Africa we (Joe/Jane Citizen) use our previous assumptions as a sort of trampoline, jumping higher and higher each time until we are too far up in the air to see them through the cloud cover.
As I said, not trying to be a moron, I'm just saying what you said was a very good example. It's different with you obviously, you understand what she's doing now and you are able to discern between the two events. I think exactly the same way of both.
...i'm starting to feel like we're spamming somehow...
http://www.wesh.com/news/6272339/detail.html (http://www.wesh.com/news/6272339/detail.html)
There should be almost NO reason for those idiots to so far...
Its a dog eat dog world and every strives to be the best. It is in human nature to become the best and be the ultimate human. Read Sigma Freud's work. He talks about how sons develop natural anger towards there own fathers. The is because sons want to reign supreme. Same with two brothers. Stick them in a cage, and they will beat the shit out of eathother. Try this with two brother rabbits. It is our animal instinct and that is why Oprah did what she did and why others to what others did. It is cause we are humans and animals.
.
Personal opinion on what is wrong:
Ignorance. Intolerance. Parents who don't care for their children. A society that believes in nothing and just lives and does what it pleases, without thinking of the consequences. A society that is selfish. A society that lacks organization and that has lost faith in life, or that has a concept of life that to me may be mistaken.
A society that I live in, but desperately wish to leave behind.
What are the consequences exactly?
Affecting others. Depends on what you do. You kill a man, you make an entire family and network of friends suffer as a consequence. You may even end up killing other people indirectly, 'just' for killing that other one.
You rape a young girl or woman, you mark her forever and destroy her life. Especially when she is still virgin, innocent, and dreams with the impossible.
And so on. Everything has a consequence. I am not saying it. Science and almost every element of life demonstrates that this is true.
Well, thats a much better answer than I was expecting. But I mean, what are the consequences to the person doing it?
If the person has no conscience, no feelings, which is something I find hard to believe, then there is probably little consequence. You can hide your feelings well, but they will always be there. Feelings make you human.
Otherwise, the consequence may be someone killing a beloved, or taking away whatever you hold dear. Or simply bad experiences in the future. Depending on what you believe. I believe that there is justice, and that those who make others suffer, will suffer sooner or later, either internally or externally.
There is always something to loose. Your suffering may not be direct, but it should affect you either way. There is a Wiccan law that says, whatever you do to others, is returned to you three times greater. Do good to others, you'll be rewarded with greater good. Do something bad to others, your punishment will be even worse.
But then again, it all depends on what you believe.
The simple rule of the universe, EVERY ACTION HAS AN EQUAL REACTION.
See, I don't beleive that. Karma can kiss my black ass, I am mean to people all the time, and I have yet to see a negative consequence.

I assure you there is justice. Somewhere in the US a month ago there were two teens that basically cooked a dog in their oven, then they showed the neighborhood children. One of the kids told, the cops came, there were scratches inside the oven as proof the dog was still alive. Anyway, the teens got 10 years in prison. Not juvinile hall, but prison :-)

There are two drives, sex and agression. Sex is to procreate and continue our blood line. Agression is to fight for the survival of one's self and others they love.
People (Humans) have been killing one and another through-out history, it's just some things now in this modern world sicken us more so as it's unexpected.
Take the Kids cooking a dog in the oven... People in Vietnam do that every day, do they get locked up ?
(It's only as we have domesticated the dog and rather than seeing it as what it is, an animal... we see it as a member of the family with rights ?)... Not saying what they done wasn't cruel, it was, but at the same time a dogs life is not worth 10 years of that of a Human.
People kill things including other people some times to feel closer to God or having God like powers, to end life. Some times watching some ones life ebb away from them fills people with a great sense of being alive. When you watch a film with lots of action in or real epic battles (like 300) it helps to show you what life and death may have been like back in those times and there is a very slim line between the two, once faulse move and your dead.
Life is a fickle thing, it's very fragile...
Some things I see in the news of today are nothing compared to those through-out history... Try reading about the Inca's or the Aztec's... One of those two tribes used to get a Girl that's just turned 16, every man in the village sleeps with her, then they skin her alive and wear her skin and dance around the village to please their Gods...
We are the only creatures known to kill one another for reasons other than our own survial... You don't see bottle nose dolphins killing Black dophins for swimming in their waters...
People say that the thing that separates humans from other animals is our ability to make conscious decisions, based on a moral compass. I personally believe what sets us apart is our ability to become delusional. I guess that would be why there are things wrong with some people.
If it's human nature to do acts as those previously mentioned then may be it's exactly that... Natrual instinct... We are all cappable of acts of evil.
Um, animals do fight all the time. They are always turf battles and mate battles. Cheeteas (sry can't spell) beat the shit out of each other if you come in there terriotory. apes, chimps, and other monkeys always have turf battles. They raid other monkies turfs and have huge fight. They take there enemies kill them and then eat them. I guess it is our nature, not nuriture.
Read his whole post before you add your opinion. He said humans are the only creatures that kill each other for purposes other than our own survival.
A turf battle is not for survival.
Humans kill one and another in the name of justice, religion, faith or for cash... Animals kill if they feel threatend and out of need.
There is no point to eat the defeated monkeys. They don't even eat their kind, normally. The point of canbilizim is to survive but show to how is better, just to rub it in their faces.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannibalism Lots of animals eat their own kind... Like Spiders... But what you are banging on about is very common with chimpanzees where groups of adult males have been observed to attack and consume their infants... Many creatures kill and eat their young, or downed or weaker members of their own kind.
Their is a sub-culture in China and other area's of Asia that have a Baby eating freturnity... http://www.trosch.org/lif/baby-eat.html
I don't see Cannibalism as Evil... I mean if you was alone on an island starving along side a friend and they died before you, you would eat them... or at least most would.
I wouldn't even wait until they were dead, then the meat gets cold and stiff :lol:
Hey I heard this one on the local news in Minnesota. A newborn was stabbed 137 times. Figure that one out.
Whats to figure out? I, for one, never said people are nice. They found the twisted off head of a 4 month old toddler in the bottom of a Tokyo parking lot a while back, now that would be something you wouldn't soon forget.
Kids can be annoying. ::)

What on earth is wrong with some people.
The best thing to release your anger on is on kids. ;D
No, squirrels that run in front of your car work too.
Kids run in front of the car too xP!
You can't kill squirrels OR kids. It's shocking enough when you read about two 11 year old kids robbing an old lady in her 80's.
If you think about it...do things like this happen in the wild? A lion would gladly kill the cub of a rival pride right? Maybe all this insane killing/robbing/whatever is a hidden instinct in the human brain? I think I'm coming onto a good theory!

You are onto what most people already know, exept its not a hidden trait, people are normally violent motherfuckers born to break rules. It's just that civilization is ruining the natural order of murder, rape, and theft.
Cookie for Bio.
Yes, people are just mindless vehicles of violence waiting to be unleashed on each other and they obviously have no concept of reason or love, the only reasons these things even exist is because of society (which, ironically, is born of humans).
Oh wait!
Society is made for the weak, so they aren't hurt by the strong. Survival of the fittest, but then the weak started saying how we are all equal, and we shouldn't fight, and made laws that keep the strong individuals of the human race from reaching their full potential.
I think the world should stop supporting the weak and then the world will be Utopia. All retarded people, you first, will be slaughtered or at least put to the side and disallowed reproduction, as will the poor, ugly, and other genetically inferior weaker people (ie Jews, Roma, etc*).
Also stop reading Nietzsche. He was a Nazi you know!
*Godwin's Law. You knew it was coming.
It is better if society helps those who are weak cuz the almighty and powerful will lose their thunder and be weak like all others. Sort of a back up plan.
*Sigh* This is why I hate the human race. Capable of doing such terrible and evil things...
HUMANITY IS DARK AND EVIL! HOW CAN IT BE CAPABLE OF SUCH ANIMALIC BEHAVIOUR AND LACK OF SELF-CONTROL, ESPECIALLY REGARDING CHILDREN AND RELEVANT SEXUAL IMPULSES!?
Its conflict, war and survival of the fittest that has shaped us, not all violence is wrong... It's the violence that has a level of disgust that shakes us.
2,000 people die in a battle...
1 teenager is cornered in an ally by 4 other youths and beaten to death...
What one sickens you the most... The later... in my case, in a battle death is expected.
Crimes against those that had no defence or very little sicken me... Even in War... Killing Prisoners or torture camps or whatever... There's degree's of wrong, even in killing.
I think the law should reflect that, if you rob some one of their life an estimate of how much life you robbed should be your sentence and should it put you past your estimate life span then your put to death.
