I like to shun as much as the next person...

Those of you who had the privilege of my company this weekend know I love to shun people; I channel Dwight K Schrute. This however is wildly inappropriate.

A young girl, 8, was raped by four boys, ages ranging from 9 to 14, and after the girl is being shunned by her family. The family and the accused boys are Liberian; sadly, this reaction while being protested around the globe is not shocking. Many women face reactions like this after being sexually assaulted. The girl is now in foster care.

The 14 year old boy is being charged as an adult with sexual assault and kidnapping. The other boys are being charged as juveniles with sexual assault, and the 10 and 13 year olds are being charged with kidnapping as well.
