During a deep conversation with a few of her close friends, I once heard my mother comment on the topic of rape. She said that she never understood how anyone could find a young child sexually attractive. I wondered about that too. What could my older cousin have found sexually attractive about me at such a young age? My mother said every single rapist should be put to death, no questions asked. But I wonder if she would feel the same if it was her nephews life on the line. Would she take my word for it and slaughter him without asking questions? No, I really don’t think she would.
And what about my grandfather? He was there when it happened. In the room below us, sleeping peacefully beside my grandmother. I’ve heard his input on the subject of child molestation many times throughout the years. He believes that any man who sexually harms a child, should have an old rusty chain run through their penis. Would my Grandfather say the same about his great nephew? Would he drag a rusty chain through his shaft without hesitation? No, I don’t think he would.
A close friend of mine from highschool spoke of the topic during a conversation about a recent news report during our senior year. A man had been convicted of rape and my friend was just as disgusted with his actions as the rest of us and she spoke up. She said he didn’t deserve to live sheltered in jail while provided with free food and an opportunity to educate himself and earn an early release. She hoped the other inmates would tear him apart for what he did. She stated that if his punishment was up to her, she would tie him up in an abandoned building and stuff his genitals in a locked vice grip. She would hand him a dull, rusty knife, drench the place in gasoline, and set it ablaze, leaving him with two options; Attempt to cut himself free via castration, or burn alive. I wonder how many of my family members could bear to watch my cousin burn alive? Honestly, I think they would save him.
