This is some weird shit

So, a game of show me yours and I'll show you mine is rape because they are children and can't consent but it's ok to try them as adults because "we believe children aged 10 are able to weigh up right and wrong in the same way that older children or adults can". Makes perfect sense.

Two 11-year-old boys found guilty of attempting to rape an eight-year-old girl were spared custody today after a judge ruled they did not realise the severity of their crime.

They tried to assault the girl..."a game called show me yours and I will show you mine".

Legally, humans are asexual until their 18th birthday, at which time they suddenly acquire the right to screw any other consenting adult. Oddly, the "age of consent" varies among jurisdictions.

The law simply does not have the mental framework to understand sex-play among children. According to the law, if minors are involved, then someone got raped...

and the rapist is the male.

The girl's story changed when she was cross-examined via videolink. She said she had lied to her mother because she had been "naughty" and was worried she would not get any sweets.

WHAT. THE. FUCK. is wrong with the world when a ten year old commits rape. also, why should this be about legality? i see a few people complaining about how it is "hypocritical" to charge children as adults while not giving them the same personal rights. i don't see how that matters. the boys, whether they realized the severity of this act or not, RAPED A LITTLE GIRL. is it right to put an adult in jail for something like that and not punish a child with similar severity? the judgment should fit the crime, and the crime is RAPE. plus, the more severely you punish the child, the less likely they are to ever do anything similar ever again.
