Just Horrible...

This story of a gang-rape of an 8-year-old Liberian refugee by four Liberian refugee boys ages 9 to 14 comes out of Phoeniz, AZ. My heart goes out to this little 8-year-old girl. My daughter is only ten so the horror of what happened to this little girl in Phoenix really hits home.

The situation is made all the more difficult by her family's rejection of her. In Liberia, women are traditionally blamed for rape although great strides have been made in changing these cultural attitudes.
