I heard a very bad news yesterday that really made me wanna scream.
A girl of 4 years, niece of mine got raped. From what I understood - by her very own uncle at her father's side. She's just a baby, damn it! She didn't deserve this.
She used to be a very bubbly girl, mischievous and playful and now from what I have heard she just kept to herself, quiet most of the time.
The doctor they went to refused to examine her because he didn't want to testify in court.
What the F*ck? I mean what's wrong with these people. Is this world just getting crazier than ever?
I told my mom about it and she said, they should go to the NBI and have her examined there. I hope that they prosecute whoever did this to her.
I don't know how this child will grow up. There's no support group in the Philippines for rape victims like in developed countries.
Her mom is in another part of the world - not really showing any concern for her kids. Her family think she's lying when she says she has no work there - an acquaintance sees her hanging out with friends and living like a bachelorette.
The girl's grandmother took her in her care for now but life is really difficult as they hardly make ends meet.

Oh Jade that is horrific. Surely there is somone that could help. This person needs to be stopped or they may do this again. Oh doesnt it make you sick. There is a website I go to Imaginiff
http://www.imaginif.com.au/ that is all about child protection. I wonder whether Meaghan could give you some advice.
@ Lily - It does make me terribly sick to think about it!I feel for this child. Thanks for the site, I will check this out.
it so sad! i have 3 yr old daughter and reading this make me want to go and check on her. Its scary! Where is your neice? how is she now? Who's taking care of her?
Oh my God.. Poor child. Her uncle should be in jail. GRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!
grabe, i hope your relatives would bring the case to court. if i'm not mistaken, death sentence na ang rape cases ngayon. kawawa yun bata.
OMG the man is so sicked! He's should be stay in jailed for life!
you I think we shouldn't just concern about gals but even boys too.
Jade,
I'm sorry to hear about this. The person responsible should be put to justice. He just ruined the life of an innocent child. I hope your niece is okay and in safe care of your other relatives. I will pray for all of you.
Hugs,
Ria
Woots.. this is insane~! The person that should protect her is indeed a devil. Sigh.
grandmother taking care grandchild, its quite common here these days.
OH Jade... this is really sad. my heart goes out to that little girl. it's really devastating. and in the Phils... i don't know. you know how it is in there. there are lots of rape cases there and lots of those cases are just in the file. i pray for that little kid.
ms jade, if your loved ones are in the metro manila area, they can go to the Philippine General Hospital Emergency Room Complex, there is a section there called the Child Protection Unit (CPU) which specializes in taking care of children who've been subjected to physical and sexual abuse. i briefly worked with them when i was in training at the PGH.
The Unit has a full complement of caring, competent physicians, social workers, therapists, etc who maybe of help to her. They are excellent expert witnesses in court cases. They operate M-F, 8-5.
If a patient is taken at odd hours of the day or on weekends, the PGH-ER has on duty resident physicians in pediatrics and ob-gyn who may likewise be of help to them.
the PGH can be reached at +632-5218450. the CPU may likewise be able to refer your niece and her family to their network of colleagues in areas outside Metro Manila.
i hope this somehow helps. God bless you and your family more-
i know these may sound weird: but if possible, the child should not be bathed so they can recover trace samples of evidence from her body. also, do not discard the clothes she wore, do not wash them or throw them away, for the same reason as above. and most importantly, easier said than done, i pray the family will not take the law into their own hands...
That is just so horrific. I must suggest that do all you can do to help. Get another examiner. It's also vey depressing that the Philippine government has not enough laws to enact such actions of punishment to child rape victims especially done by family members. My prayers go to your family, esp. the girl.
and as an additional resource, you may also want to visit http://www.childprotection.org.ph/index.html and http://www.childprotection.org.ph/databases/index.adp to find out who can be of help to to your niece in and outside of metro manila.
How awful :(. When I hear things like that I just want to scoop up the child and save them!
If they are going to continue to make her live near her rapist uncle with no repercussions, can you offer to take her?
Oh my God!!!! I just want to strangle whoever did it. Bastard, no soul!! I'm sorry to hear about this. It's just horrible. I hope she finds some she can confide in.
This will really affect her for as long as she lives! So sad! He's a stupid doctor. Yeah, you should go to the NBI and seek justice for her. What about Bantay Bata 163?
I'm so sorry to hear your news, Jade. The man needs to be staked through the heart. I honestly can't even comprehend pedophilia let alone child (or any kind of) rape, but it seems to be shockingly prevalent. What can we do about it?
And that poor girl without her Mom. My heart goes out to her.
@ Aerin - yes whoever did this should pay for their crime.
@ Architect - Yes this is such a dangerous world. The least you expected would hurt you is family.
@ {girl}forallstatus - I really hope so too.
@ Sherry - that is really one sick person whoever did that. And you are right, we should always be careful with the young ones may they be boys or girls.
I'm so sorry this happened to your niece! I'm even more saddened that the doctor refused to examine her, he should be ashamed.
I don't know what to tell you. Just be there if she wants to talk about it...
(((((Hugs)))))
OMG that poor child! That man should be shot!!!
O.M.G.
I can't even imagine... that poor girl!!
Dammit - doesn't it just piss you off to hear how inhuman some people can be? I wish there were something I could do to help..
All I keep thinking about is how that little's girl's very livelihood has been stolen from her... in a most horrific manner.
How awful!!!That's absolutely disgusting!I'm so sorry for her poor thing...
In my opinion there should be no mercy for people like that.
No mercy for the rapist and no mercy for the doctor!
I pray to God keep my kids safe cause if something like that ever happens, I don't know what I'm capable to do...
Hang on girl.
Love
~Sandra~
oh my goodness jade!
that is so terrible...yeah, i have heard several incidents lately on TV and they just make me sick. but it is different if you know the victim and at worst, you are related.
oh my i am so sorry to hear that. i hope justice will be served. and rightfully so.
Oh Jade. This is terrible. I am so sorry. I hope your niece is able to find the justice she deserves.
This made me feel sick when i read this. Something similar happened to members in our family by a relative.
I hope that the person who did this to your niece is dealt with by the law and put away for a long time.
No child (or ANYBODY) should have to go through this.
@ Ria - I am hoping for the girl's safety too. I wish that she would never ever have to endure any more horrific things like this.
some kids here are missing some found raped and dead. :( some children are still missing.
if we have the technology and device like the U.S I think that can give children more security. on the other hand I think the cost of the device won't be cheap too.
That is really really a bad news.I felt sorry for the child. It will really take time for her to heal . At that age, she should see the world beautifully. SOme grown ups must be very very sick to even put this child to this devastating state.
I would want to wring the neck of the uncle and those who chose to ignore the child's case.
That is terrible! This really break my heart. I hate children in pain or anything like that. That man who did it should be hang! I hope, that someone will take actions and will not disregard otherwise it'll just happen again and again because they think its ok to behave that way. Its really a sad world. It frustrates me!
omg - that is just unspeakable.
That poor poor girl.
I am so sorry.
This is just horrible! I am so sorry! I don't even know what to say about this! Again, I am sooo sorry!
What a shocking story - I'm in tears!
Btw: Thanks for your BD greetings.
This is so terrible!! Gosh! You should help her.
Jade,
I'm sorry to hear about this. Its horrific, These kind of people are really psychic and they should not exist in our society, feeling so bad for the poor girl.
God bless her
I am so sad to hear about this. It is very sad that this kind of evil exists in our world. I pray that she will be able to overcome this horrible thing with the support of love and care around her. It sounds like you are one of those people.
Oh jade, I am so so sorry to hear about this. I have been extremely busy with real life chores for the last few days and missed this.
My prayers are with the little girl and her family. As a survivor of sexual abuse as a child I can tell you that she really needs help as early as possible.
It's just terrible that there are no places for her to get support.
I too hope with all of my heart that the person that did this awful thing will get his just desserts!!
Keeping you in my prayers as well!!
You should also file charges against the doctor who refused to provide treatment. I bet there's a case for that as well.
I hope some justice can come of this, there is no crime more terrible, that poor girl...
I'm sad with you. I pray that your niece can get help and that the man who did this is punished.
That's really sad and traumatic for your niece. I hope justice will prevail and the bad guy will make it in jail.
If I were that uncle I would get the heck out of Dodge, know what I mean? And do you mean that the father knew about what the uncle was doing?
If someone tried that with one of my children they better hope the police find them before I do.
I wouldn't want to be that "uncle" when karma catches up with him!
What a terrible thing to happen to a child.I hope she can someday be ok.
What a terrible thing to happen to such a young innocent girl. I feel so sorry for her. I can't imagine how someone can do such a thing. I hope that the culprit can be put behind bars.
I'm sorry to hear that bad news poh...Yes, she is still a baby!!! She doesn't deserve that stuff that happened to her....Our world is really chaotic and full of evils now a days....
I am so sad to hear about what happened to your niece. People that do those things are screwed up in the head and need psychiatric help. The doctor should be man enough to make sure this bastard doesn't do that again to someone else. My prayers are with you.
That's so horrible Jade! For the kid, this is such traumatic for her to learn this early how cruel and evil others can be. For the culprit, better for him to be hanged in nude and cut his thing, or better burn his thing.
Send the criminal to the gas chamber, sorely missing in the Philippines. If he is not a psychiatric case, he is under the influence of shabu.
I am sorry to hear this happening to a relative, Jade. Also her immediate psychiatric rehabilitation must be first and foremost.
we are still upset over the person who did this to her. Hope to hear from you about the person who did it. I hope he pays for it!
I hope the little girl's future will be still bright.
I hope that depraved man will be punished that will make him sorry for life!!
I once wrote about Child abuse on my blog, and I found helpful url information about domestic violance for many countries. I think you can reach some contacts in Philiphines here:
http://www.hotpeachpages.net/asia/asia1.html#Philippines
I hope that depraved man gets what he deserves!!! :(((
am sorry to heart about this!
Look for your High Five from me HERE.
OMgoodness,Jade. I'm so sorry from the bottom of my heart. I didn't saw this. I was just passing by here but I also have kids to take care to. So, I'm always in a hurry.
This is soo hurting:( {Cyber hugs}
Oh my, my heart goes out to you and your family. That demonic uncle must suffer in jail,forever and in hell too after he dies.
*sigh*
That man should be jailed forever... He must pay for what he has done.
thats sickening mate. what is wrong with these people? i cant bear to think what that poor girl has gone through. it upsets me more cause Evan is 4 too :(
On a brighter side mate thanks for stopping by my new place Gossip Avenue. I will put you on the blogroll there too if thats ok? ;)
I didnt put everyone on from my others cause i knew everyone wouldnt visit, so thanks again x
My gosh Jade, I can't take this... I'm so sorry.
We'll pray for your niece. We hope justice will be served.
Hi Jade! This is really devastating news. From what place in PI again? Here in Cebu, there are a number of NGOs we can rely on when it comes to children's rights.
I think children are very precious today, parents must really take care of them. Even teen too.
this is an outrage Jade! Grabe naman! 4 years old!!! I vote for the death penalty here! Words cannot express my anger when I read your post.
I do hope that Cacai won't sustain any permanent damage.
I pray for her, Jade.
Sana bitayin kung sino man ang gumawa sa niece mo. Kawawang bata. I will pray for her Jade. I hope she's gonna be OK.
