I really need some help as I am VERY confused here. My niece, 16 yrs. old was raped. The rapist has been arrested, he will go to jail regardless (he's claiming consentual sex) as he is an adult and she is a child. To make this all the worse, she was set up by another girl who lured her and played look out. That 'girl' is an adult, 18yrs. old. From what my sister has told me, as my niece screamed and begged for the rapist to stop... the girl mocked her and told her 'it always hurts the first time.' and 'you know you want it. As of yet, the 'girl' has not been arrested but should be on Monday on endangering the welafare of a child. She has also been threatening my niece all week.
If you've read my about me, you know i was once in the seminary to become a priest. My younger brother was in the seminary longer. He is a very peaceful and cool headed man, with a family of 5 children, the niece in question isn't his. I left the seminary and, well let's say I went a VERY different direction. I have one child, he's 25 and he is more like me, hot headed.
Both my brother and my son want to go and kill these 2. Not in a reactionary way, they are serious. No one in my family is very trusting in the police or the court system. My sister, whose daughter is the niece in question has not said she disapproves of their plan. All of them are looking to me to decide. I have the weapons and the ability to make this all happen.
My dillema, my brother has small kids. They need him and my son has a whole life to live, I do not want jail to be his future. Me, i'm middle age and alone, so nothing to lose really.
My other dillema, the logical side of me knows this is wrong, but that is becoming more and more meaningless. I have prayed, meditated and spoken to the two real life friends I have, i'm not the most sociable, one agreed with me. I spoke to a good friend on here and her arguement made a lot of sense, but again, as the day wears on, i find logic to mean less and less.
Part of me, most of me really, wants blood.
