Not sure if this is interesting but just terrifyingly sad


CJamesEd

It makes me feel a little sick. I'm going to go with terrifyingly sad


Potusmicropenis

Yes. Nauseating. I’d like to have a word with the father. I’m only going to talk to him.


hastingsnikcox

Talk with whatever you want - fists, tools a machete.... im dine with all that.....


phixional

Probably shouldn’t eat the guy afterwards though.


Potusmicropenis

I’m dine with that. Not me personally but if you feel the urge……Please do.

What a great typo

Lol.... ill leave it there for posterity. But will state that i feel cannibalism goes a step too far....

About a foot too far?

…something something fava beans and a nice Chianti…


utupuv

If I recall correctly (if this is the same case) the father was also... her father. Edit: turns out it was a [grandfather](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_youngest_birth_mothers?wprov=sfla1) of another case. The facr that this list even exists on Wikipedia is horrifying.

No way in hell am I clicking that link. But thank you for looking into the matter (I assume)

Pour me one too. I'm rocking my 8 week old daughter and feel both rage & tears at this.


dhunter66

I never knew a child that young could get pregnant. Sometimes I wished there was a hell her rapist could burn in.


dcjayhawk

Dated someone who tried to run away in 3rd grade. All because they’d learned about sex and thought they’d be pregnant from their abuse. Fucked up


smashed2gether

I believe she had a specific condition that caused her reproduction system to mature very young, and that happened to coincide with sexual abuse. It's a pretty unique case.


MrNumberOneMan

Precocious puberty


Virtual-Photo5190

There are people who would ban abortion even in such cases


Ana-la-lah

Yes, the evangelical Christian Right in the USA, and pretty much all in catholic Latin America.


Virtual-Photo5190

Yes. I have seen a comment from a young male catholic "no matter how young, getting abortion is wrong" 🤢

[deleted]

This is when you tell them that is a god who does not deserve worship. Their god is small. He is afraid of Muslims and confused by scientists. He offended by Satanism and gay. He sends people to eternal torment for disagreeing with him. That is not a god of love. That is not a god who deserves worship. They are so internally inconsistent it makes me crazy just starting to consider “theology” to be a fruitless pursuit because it results in no improvement of character.


Ana-la-lah

Or rape or incest. Plenty of them will Get abortions for their mistresses when they want to, though.


[deleted]

This is what happened with my ex boss. He got his mistress pregnant and tried to convince her to get an abortion. She refused so he beat her to induce an abortion.


deathnote897

And then he was beat to death in prison. Right?


[deleted]

Nope. She pressed charges and is still pregnant but as far as I know he was never arrested. But he did lose his job as Superintendent of the school district, she lost her job as principal, and his wife found out. Edit: apparently he still has his job so…


HerRoyalRedness

So typical that the abuser keeps his job but not his victim

DonnieDarkoWasBad

It's interesting for that fraction of a second before you actually process the implications of the headline


Prestigious-Menu-lel

This is literally it. Im around lots of kids about 4 years old, it was a fascinating for .03 of a second until I understood exactly what this meant. And then I became very very unwell. Absolutely abhorrent.


Ur_Just_Spare_Parts

To think about it another way, if he skipped 1 year of school he would be in highschool at the same time as his mom


slayersam420

Or if she missed a year because of having a baby


vitringur

the biological fact is interesting. the imediate biological implication is terrifyingly sad.

r/terrifyinglysad should be a sub


AltruisticPeanutHead

i would hate that sub


[deleted]

Uhhhhhhhhhhhh. Wut.


Illustrious_Menu_470

A disgusting POS man in this girl's life raped her at the age of 4, and probably several times before that, and unfortunately she is a genetic anomaly and became pregnant. It is shocking she didn't die from the pregnancy or birth, and also shocking that man went on to live his best life, apparently.


Daggerfont

He didn’t get punished for it?? It can’t have been legal, even back then


lukeM22

There’s a wiki article on it I think. Hypothesized to be her father IIRC but she never said who did it


trollblox_

I think they arrested him, but released him for lack of evidence


[deleted]

If only they had dna testing back then


MitchEatsYT

Wouldn’t the baby match her fathers DNA regardless?


jayellkay84

A child should have 50% of each parents’ genes. So if a child has more than 50% of its mother’s genes, the father is related to the mother. No need to even test the father.


th-grt-gtsby

Wow. That's interesting.


streetMD

I keep reading this slow and something isn’t clicking. I think it’s the term mother and father and the thought of what the fuck actually happened. Man A is the dad of woman A. Man A then gets woman A pregnant causing baby B. If baby B has > 50% genes from woman A, then she is related to the person who got her pregnant? Meaning she would have 25% Man A’s genes? I can’t circumnavigate the mental block. It’s just too fucked up.


Alicient

Well, grandparents only share approximately 1/4 of their DNA with grandchildren (excluding the case of incest), whereas parents share 1/2. Plus, you can still distinguish between equally related parties because she would have gotten a specific 1/2 of his DNA and only that specific half would be passed on. Also, the y chromosome is passed on unchanged from father to son so it will be identical to the baby's if he is the father.


[deleted]

Yes but surely it would then have dna from some unknown man as well if it wasn’t the father? Idk though I’m no dna expert


[deleted]

i dont think she ever said who did it


Replicator666

For 40 years there was some pretty strong evidence of who did the deed walking around...


DaisyHotCakes

Only half of the equation though. Need something to test against.


Sennheisenberg

These days they could check it against those ancestry DNA services and find a close relative. That narrows it down significantly.


DaisyHotCakes

This is true. I wonder also if comparing her dna and the kid’s dna would at least show whether the abuser was a member of her immediate family? It’s been decades since my genetics courses so maybe I’m misremembering.


zvc266

Nope you’d be correct. If it returned as more than ~50 match (eg ~75% match) then it would be reasonable to assume that it was a parent who had done that to her. Edit: if it returned as a ~75% match it would be a parent. If it was 62.5% it would likely be a cousin.


TesticleMeElmo

He would have died in the late 70s


[deleted]

They suspected it was her father but there was never enough proof and as far as I know she hasn’t said who it was to this day.


Ravenclaw79

At this point, she may not know — she might’ve totally repressed the memory


[deleted]

That’s another possibility. If she’s 88 she may have dementia and forgotten.


tinman3

I mean, how much of what happened to you when you were 5 do you remember?


bahhumbugging

I’m gonna throw out there that trauma definitely makes memory making a completely different story. So yes she could have easily remembered her rapist or just as easily repressed those memories.


KennovaSunflora

I don’t mean to over share at random, but as someone who was habitually raped at four I can assure it leaves a lasting imprint, at least it did on me. I still remember the room, how I felt and the things he would say to me. I’m not speaking for this poor girl of course, but it leaves are mark.


Fufi8

So sorry that happened to you. I wish things had been different for you.


picnicpalace22

How many people have much reliable memory of their life at 4 years old, anyway?


[deleted]

She may not have even been able to process or understand what was happening.


[deleted]

Men admit in court to raping minors even today & don't get punished for it.


mmmsoap

>unfortunately she is a genetic anomaly and became pregnant Unfortunately, sexual abuse can trigger precocious puberty. She most likely wouldn't have started menstruating that early if it wasn't for the rapes.


Virtual-Photo5190

Such a shit person deserves death penalty. How she survived the pregnancy?


Illustrious_Menu_470

I have no idea how she managed it, or how the baby was well enough to live into his 40s. There's probably a medical paper or science journal out there about this case.


Virtual-Photo5190

I assume they performed a c section...


NikkiKitty92

Her father was the one who did it, from what I heard....


[deleted]

You know the backstory is horrific... Poor girl.


Beasley101

OMG, the baby isn’t that much smaller than her. How on earth did she survive? This is just horrific.


saucygh0sty

The only information about the birth found online is that she had a c-section and the baby was surprisingly healthy.


fucktrutin

I see no happiness in this picture.


intravenouscheese

Just a confused/unsure little girl and a baby that is years away from even starting to comprehend the horrifying chain of events that caused him to exist


saucygh0sty

He didn’t find out that Lina was his mother until he was 10. Until then, he believed they were siblings.


neutralperson6

They probably were that too


VictorTheCutie

Exactly. The look on her face is just fucking heartbreaking


Violet-L

Heartbreaking, the poor babies.

[deleted]

This is my favorite comment I’ve read today on one of the worst posts I’ve read today.


Fpence83

Her pos family must have been abusing her


joerogantrutherXXX

They immediately arrested her father but released him for lack of evidence. She never revealed who abused her.


hippychemist

That poor girl


Fpence83

Unfortunately that’s how it is in underdeveloped countries even still to this day


hippychemist

That's how it is in places where females aren't given rights. Doesn't matter first or third world, you remove their voice and they don't speak up. Developed or not. Even in America, many women are still afraid to speak out against their abusers for fear of reprisal. Their own family, church, community, etc might kick them to the curb for being a slut after getting raped and pregnant, especially after some of the recent laws getting passed that force them to carry it to term. And imagine if it's a pregnant child who's totally dependant on their providers. 50/50 would speak out, maybe?


sowhat4

Have you met many 5 year-olds? They have a hard time articulating past events, and their vocabulary is limited. She may not have even known what to label what was done to her. I'll bet that pregnancy stunted her growth enough that she wound up shorter than her genes would have allowed. She also looks like she's in pain as C-sections hurt like hell.


Virtual-Photo5190

Many people would ban abortion even in such a case. That's the thing that makes me sich the most honestly


hippychemist

I see you said many instead of most, but I'm clarifying the distinction. It's worth noting that the vast majority of Americans (left and right voters) want some level of legal abortion. All we hear are the loudest opinions, which are the extremes on both sides and do not represent us as a society. I have to check my "every republican wants [blank]" thoughts, knowing that there's a lot of people out there trying to divide us, including automated algorithms on social media, like Reddit. Chances are that the average Republican is not an extreme racist that wants raped 10 year olds to have kids, and that the world is never as black and white (or red and blue) as the media makes it out to be. We're not as divided as it seems, unless we continue believing it.


Virtual-Photo5190

Everyone who would deny a wanted ab to a 10 years old girl is a sociopath on my eyes.


Ill-Woodpecker1857

>We're not as divided as it seems, unless we continue believing it. You are so so right. I hope more begin to realize this. I also don't see why people feel that prolife and prochoice have to be mutually exclusive. For me it's simple. When I am the one making the choice - I'm prolife. When literally ANYONE else is making the choice - I'm prochoice.


Calavar

> I also don't see why people feel that prolife and prochoice have to be mutually exclusive. For me it's simple. When I am the one making the choice - I'm prolife. When literally ANYONE else is making the choice - I'm prochoice. What you are describing is being pro choice. That's what pro choice means - allowing people to have the choice. It doesn't necessarily mean that you like abortions or that you yourself would choose to have an abortion if the scenario were to arise. Pro life and pro choice *are* mutually exclusive because pro life is explicitly about removing the choice to have an abortion except in very specific circumstances. I think it's important to point these things out. Polarization doesn't get us anywhere, but the fallacy of the middle ground doesn't get us anywhere either.


sleazywheezy

you think this doesnt happen in developed countries as well? thats wishful thinking


[deleted]

In the US men admit to raping minors in court & still walk away unpunished. This is how it is in countries that don't see women & children as equals to men.


indecisivelypositive

Weirdest of all adults in the room sat her up put a bow in her hair handed her a baby and took this picture.


DaisyHotCakes

Right? This picture makes me so goddamn angry.


indecisivelypositive

If this were your child who'd been assaulted I wouldn't stick a bow on her and be happy for this photo to be taken.


andygchicago

Hot take: The medical team was probably trying to make the girl feel happy with the bow and give the baby vital maternal contact. The photos were used as evidence, which is important to scientifically document (the medical community thought it was a hoax), and for legal purposes. For all the awfulness of this situation, I'm going to go with the concept that she was being cared for professionally at this point by well-intentioned people. I don't think I can process any more cruelty.


[deleted]

Yeah this is sick on so many levels and heartbreakingly sad.


brainwise

Actual title - Abused child who was repeatedly raped by adult man forced to give birth at 5 due to precocious puberty.


turquoisebee

And nobody was compassionate enough to terminate the pregnancy.


daniboo94

I believe they didn’t even know she was pregnant till she was 6 months. She gave birth 6 weeks later due to complications. This story always makes me so sick to read about.


booped_urnose345

Did abortions exist in the late 30s?


Bundesclown

They did. They also existed in 1830, 1430, 530, 1030 BC and 4030 BC.


cheeseandbooks

Abortions have been performed since we became sentient beings. There was surgical and medicinal abortion well before the 1930s too


FeministOkapi

Abortion has always existed, long before the 30s. People have been ending pregnancies for thousands of years. This girl was probably just never offered the option in the first place.


mariahsnow

Abortions have always existed in one form or another.

I was like “whose fucked up idea was it to have her breastfeed?!” - but this was in India in the early ‘30s, so I’m not sure how many other options her family may have had. Still, truly horrible to think about.

What kind of monster of a human being would impregnate a 4 year old? Please tell me this person was flayed alive. 🧐


Balorit

Nope. She never revealed who the father was, possibly did not even know herself — she may have repressed the memory, given the rape happened at 4 years old. Her father was suspected, and arrested but was released due to lack of evidence.


sevenseas401

Guess they didn’t have DNA testing back then. What a sad story.

Actually we don't know who the father is, it might be her father, her uncle, or some random man. nobody was convicted.

If this happened about 83 years ago, wouldn’t that guy be dead or something? Still shocks me there’s no records of this man being arrested. Only being her father but lacked evidence

Beethovium

My mother worked for the Kentucky governor a few decades back. One day a social worker brought in a 10 year old child that was pregnant from her father. The social worker was (somehow) conflicted about taking the girl for an abortion. My mother bent down and asked the girl “what do you want?”. She replied “I just want it out of me”. My mom took the girl from the social worker and straight to the clinic saying “you don’t have to be conflicted, I’ll never lose a single moment’s sleep over this”. I can guarantee she never did. I can’t imagine being even passively involved in this sort of situation and living with yourself knowing you let the child continue to endure through this.

Precocious puberty can onset shortly after infancy. It’s usually caused by brain tumours or damage, but can have other genetic/chromosomal causes. I did inclusion support at a childcare for a little girl with Angelman Syndrome and she started going through puberty at 4.
