It's official.
The reason people don't watch the news is because its depressing. Some things, you just don't want to see.
Four boys, between the ages of 9 and 14 are being charged for the kidnapping and the rape of an 8 year old girl in Phoenix, Arizona.
The young boys took turns raping an eight-year-old girl in a shed for a period of 10 to 15 minutes after luring the little girl with chewing gum.
The young man in the photo above is 14 year old Steven Tuopeh - who was charged as an adult with two counts of kidnapping and sexual assault.
The other boys - ages nine, 10, and 13 were charged as juveniles with sexual assault. The 10- and 13-year-old boys also were charged with kidnapping.
The part of this story that BREAKS my heart the most is that the father of this innocent little girl told the case worker and an officer that he didn't want her back.
The little girl is a native of Liberia, which holds a shame-based culture, so the crime is not as important as protecting the family name and the name of the community - which is why her family shunned her.
So in this little girls time of need, instead of being held by the comfort of family, loved ones, and familiar faces - she is being held in state custody because her family has disowned her.

"Take her, I don't want her!"
