Through a (looking) glass darkly
So, this is the deal. A fourteen years’ old boy molests an eight years’ old girl, while he is babysitting her. The girl’s mother finds out and goes to the police.
Then the little girl is charged with lewd behaviour - though somewhat later these charges are dropped.
Are you angry now - very angry?
Good - but wait: I lied.
Here’s the real story. The babysitter was actually a girl; the boy was her victim.
So, that makes it alright, no?
No? So, you’re still angry? Good - but are you as angry as you were the first time round?
Be honest now.
Ah, we are fucked-up little people in a fucked-up world, aren’t we?
