To this day, I have still yet to see a single news article mentioning Uttar Pradesh that wasn't about a raped child. I'm sure some of this is bias in the reporting, but this is literally the only thing I know about the place.
A childhood friend of mine is now a school teacher in Florida amd over the years she has had a few 10, 11 and 12 year old pregnant students (pulled from school due to pregnancy).
Raping children might indeed be more prevalent in Uttar Pradesh but it is in no way as rare as you think it is elsewhere. Humans suck.
Yeah but counter point: Florida? Really?
Prettyuxh same shit, different day
All, of course, one way or another perpetrated and supported by the religious
A find of mine knows a guy who killed a million pedos.
I can make anecdotes up, too
Do you know for a fact that those kids weren't impregnated by other students, though? Kids fooling around with each other consensually is much more common than adults messing with kids. I wouldn't automatically assume rape.
EDIT: lol downvoted for asking a clarifying question, smells Reddit-y.
Actually I do, because she told me the back story on most. One family member and a few "mom's boyfriend". Not a single kid on kid incident in the cases she dealt with.
There are a few users who post articles like this constantly. I'm on the other side of the world, so I have no idea if it's propaganda, just something I've noticed.
To clarify my use of the word, I'll quote Adam Johnson: "The atomic unit of propaganda isn't lies - it's emphasis."
woah that's a good quote i am stealing it
The caste system and corruption in India allows it
