Just like sexual abuse of a child................some parents, elders, friends etc may say that because the child didn't report it for years, that maybe they liked it or were responsible for it happening. Unfortunately there are still very ignorant and hurtful people around. I've met some, believe me!
So rape works the same way.............sex crimes are complicated, especially for the victims. And to have a religion make rules on rape like the WTS does is is not only ignorant and hutrful but also very dangerous! Think of the 2 witness rule for sexual abuse........how ridiculous!
To scream or not to scream, that is the question!
How can you advise anyone how to handle a rape situation? Every incident is different and no one can predict how it will go. You just have to let your child know that staying alive is the most important thing and that you will not judge them.
Having left the borg for many reasons, and the WTS's way of handling sex crimes from within being the main one, I don't take their rules and regulations into account anymore. I guess children in the borg are at risk twice, once when the religion abandones them and twice when their parents do too.
This is a subject close to my heart and could go on for hours but I'll stop now.
