The mother of a four-year-old girl raped by a teenage babysitter has revealed the pain that has haunted her since the horrific ordeal. The woman said there are days when she 'can't stop crying' after discovering her daughter had been assaulted by the 14-year-old son of a family friend. And the father is tormented by feelings of guilt for allowing the toddler to be left in the clutches of the disturbed babysitter.
Speaking publicly for the first time since the attacker walked free from court, the couple blasted the decision not to impose a custodial sentence - and feared their daughter could bump into her rapist any day. Instead, the judge imposed a three-year community order after blaming ‘the world and society’ for his exposure to porn.
Her daughter, who is now five, knows 'something horrible' happened but doesn't understand what. The girl is likely to have counseling as she grows up to deal with the long-term effects of the ordeal, but both parents are 'worried' about what her future now holds.

Really? How does she know? Because they TOLD HER! All she knows is the boy was mean to her, and hurt her. Its over now, there is no need for her to have to deal with it for life, but the idiot parents, and idiot counselors are not going to let her just forget about it, NO, instead they are going to explain to her just how horrible it was, and how horrible she should feel, and they are going to make sure and keep reminding her as she gets old enough to understand it.

I would rather feel guilty for murder than feel guilty for not doing anything about protecting my children from a rapist who lives down the street.

Then the father of the boy could "take out" the girl's father, the girl's mother could "take out" the boy's mother, etc. etc, and nothing would change the fact that the parents did leave the girl alone with someone they clearly didn't know.edit on 6/7/2012 by ArMaP because: missed a '
