What kind of world are we living in where an 18-year-old girl endures being raped on Christmas Eve, and the alleged perpetrator is a 14-year-old boy? Yes, you read that right—a child. And yet, this shocking case leaves us grappling not only with the crime itself but with the complete failure of the adults around him.
The police have confirmed that the suspect is indeed a minor, and the case is now in the hands of family court. But let’s not sugarcoat this: while the perpetrator is a child, his actions have left an indelible scar on an innocent girl’s life. And the fact that this crime unfolded in a setting where these families—close through the mothers’ friendship—were meant to share Christmas warmth makes it all the more enraging. This isn’t just a tragedy—it’s a wake-up call. The victim deserves justice. The boy needs to face the consequences no matter his age!
