This would be funny if it weren't so tragic. The Steubenville rape trial is a living testimony to why you need a rock solid moral system in your life, especially if you have children. The short version is an underage white girl was allegedly raped by two black football players. SWPL types enjoy the championships the football team brings home. OTOH, they don't like their daughters being raped. What to do?
Here's an idea. Teach your children biblical values. Things like not letting your daughters go to parties without someone to take care of them (brothers, cousins) or let them think they should be able to walk around naked in public (slutwalks). Or this one, teach your sons not to sexually penetrate girls that are not their wives. You might have to be in their lives to accomplish these tasks. You also might need to know things about your children, like who their friends are and where they are going. The Christian parent looks at this and may see tragedy, but would not see it as a possibility of happening to or around their children. This situation is ridiculously (biblically) preventable. Talk to your children early and often about these things.

One player was white, the other was black. Just as an FYI.
ReplyDeleteTragedies like this aren't fully preventable. Bad things happen even to good people who are behaving wisely.
ReplyDeleteBut, they do happen far less often.
This was completely preventable. The two being prosecuted are black.
ReplyDeleteNo, one is white, the coach's son, Trent Mays. The other, Malik something or the other, is black.
ReplyDeleteDo you have a link on that? What I've read said otherwise. I don't claim the internet is always right. So I will defer to your knowledge of it.
ReplyDeleteI was under the impression the coach's son was one of those that had the charges dropped. Apparently not. Here is their facts site. Regardless, completely preventable with proper parenting.

I am going to shamelessly link my re-creation of a post on The Woman and the Dragon, because it applies perfectly to this instance.

That girl had no business being around those football players. None whatsoever. There was no way she could have resisted their advances at that point, with our without alcohol. Such a fallen world this is.
