12-Year-Old Charged With Rape

While reading through the news today, I saw a disturbing story about a 12-year-old charged with rape in Australia. The story makes me very disappointed. The boy apparently attacked a woman in the middle of the day. I find it disturbing enough when I see all the stories about teenagers committing these horrible acts, but preteens too?!

I think this just shows the danger present in today’s world. We need to take it upon ourselves to protect ourselves, our friends, and our loved ones. Stay safe, learn self-defense, and consider getting self-defense tools, such as pepper spray or stun guns.

What do you think?
