An 11-year-old girl was gang-raped, and the perpetrator was acquitted, protecting minors from entering a dead end？

　　[Summary of the case]

　　In ancient times, a man was called a "weak crown" at the age of 20, which symbolized that a man was an adult and could marry and have children. In modern times, the adult age is eighteen, which means that you have to bear the responsibility of an adult.

　　On the contrary, should minors be indulged? Today's case is thought-provoking: an 11-year-old girl was gang-raped, but the perpetrator was acquitted because she was a minor. Whether such minor protection is protection or connivance.

　　"Where are we going?" Xiaohua (pseudonym) asked, Xiaoqiang (pseudonym) looked at Xiaohua and smiled: "Go to my house to play, it's fun in my house." Xiaohua didn't doubt him, and skipped to keep up with Xiaoqiang.

　　Xiaohua is 11 years old and still in primary school. Xiaoqiang is 13 years old. He is Xiaohua's classmate and playmate during his holiday. The two children often play together. Xiaohua's parents are busy at work, and they are relieved to have such a brother who is two years older.

　　Xiaohua is very happy. She has never been to Xiaoqiang's home. When I played house before, Xiaohua was always my mother and Xiaoqiang was my father. I must play again when I went to his house today!

　　In this way, Xiaohua happily followed Xiaoqiang to his home. Xiaohua didn't report her whereabouts to her parents. After all, she often came out to play, and she was accompanied by her brother Xiaoqiang. But Xiaohua didn't notice Xiaoqiang's evil eyes.

　　Gang rape!

　　Soon, the two children crossed the road and arrived at Xiaoqiang's home. Xiaoqiang's parents were busier at work and didn't have time to take care of the children at all. Fortunately, Xiaoqiang was a boy and relatively independent, so it was not a problem to live alone.

　　Xiaohua followed Xiaoqiang into his home. Xiaoqiang's home is very big, and things in the living room are a little messy. Xiaohua looks here and there. She is very curious about Xiaoqiang's home. After a while, Xiaoqiang invites Xiaohua to the bedroom to play house together.

　　Xiaohua happily followed Xiaoqiang to the bedroom, but she didn't expect there was another boy in the bedroom. Xiaohua has never seen this boy, and he is a little scared. Xiaoqiang introduced him to Xiaohua, saying that he is his friend. He is 14 years old and his name is Xiaoxu (a pseudonym).

　　Xiaoqiang and Xiaohua entered the room and immediately locked the bedroom door. Xiaohua already felt something was wrong at this time, but the two men in front of her had cornered themselves and the escape route was blocked.

　　Xiaohua looked at Xiaoqiang and Xiaoxu in fear, crying that she would not play and go home. However, Xiaoqiang didn't listen at all, and began to punch and kick Xiaohua directly. Xiaohua curled up in the corner and held her head, feeling pain all over.

　　I don't know how long it took, Xiaohua's voice was hoarse, and Xiaoqiang finally stopped. But the nightmare isn't over yet. Xiaoqiang and Xiaoxu joined forces to throw Xiaohua on the bed, and they began to take off their pants with rude words.

　　Xiaohua was frightened. An 11-year-old girl had never seen this scene before. However, Xiaoqiang didn't give Xiaohua a chance to breathe. He jumped straight at Xiaohua, who struggled violently, but to no avail. In the end, Xiaohua was invaded by Xiaoqiang.

　　After Xiaoqiang finished, Xiaoxu took off his clothes and pounced on Xiaohua. The two men raped Xiaohua in turn. After all, Xiaoqiang took out his mobile phone and took an indecent photo of Xiaohua, threatening Xiaohua to post the photo online if she told her parents.

　　Acquitted?

　　It was already dark when Xiaohua came out of Xiaoqiang's house. Xiaohua doesn't know where she can go. If her parents know, will they blame themselves? If you find your own police uncle Xiaoqiang, will you leak the photos?

　　Xiaohua felt terrible. She was afraid to go home because she was full of fear, so she could only wander alone in the street. After three days, the little flower curled up on the side of the road was finally found by her parents. At this time, the smell of the little flower was weak and her body was covered with scars.

　　In the end, Xiaohua's parents knew what happened, and they immediately reported the police with indignation. After investigating Xiaoqiang and Xiaoxu, the police found that they did rape Xiaohua and made a video to threaten him, which violated the crime of rape.

　　Although the police have confirmed the crimes of Xiaoqiang and Xiaoxu, since Xiaoqiang and are both under the age of 14, they are not criminally responsible. So they were released.

　　[Interpretation by Case]

　　Presumably, this incident will become Xiaohua's lifelong nightmare. An 11-year-old girl should be naive, but Xiaoqiang ruined him. Don't minors really need to be punished? Who should bear the loss of Xiaohua?

　　First, let's look at the definition of rape. Article 236 of the Criminal Law stipulates that the crime of rape refers to coercing a woman to have sexual relations with her by violent means. And if you rape a young girl under the age of 14, you should be given a heavier punishment.

　　Xiaoqiang and Xiaoxu violated Xiaohua by violent means, committing rape, and Xiaohua was only 11 years old at this time, belonging to a young girl. In addition, Xiaoqiang and Xiaoxu are gang-raped by two people, and the circumstances are extremely bad and should be severely punished.

　　China protects minors from breaking the law: Article 17 of the Criminal Law stipulates that those who have reached the age of 16 shall bear criminal responsibility, those who have reached the age of 14 but have not reached the age of 16 shall bear criminal responsibility only when committing serious crimes, and those who have not reached the age of 14 shall not bear criminal responsibility.

　　Xiaoqiang and Xiaoxu are both under the age of 14. Although they committed a very serious crime of rape, they really don't need to bear the responsibility immediately, so the police released them. However, the Criminal Law stipulates that his guardian should be ordered to discipline him or sent to the government for asylum education.

　　The law doesn't favor minors. For Xiaoqiang and Xiaoxu, they just don't need to bear criminal responsibility temporarily. When they are old enough, they still have to pay for what they have done.

　　China's laws and regulations reflect the care for minors, but age is not the reason for breaking the law. No matter age or sex, as long as they break the law, they will be punished by the law and pay the corresponding price.

　　Conclusion: Teach by example!

　　Fundamentally speaking, Xiaoqiang and Xiaoxu did this because of the lack of education. Parents' absence from home for a long time leads to children's psychological distortion and eventually makes things that violate the law. Therefore, it is very important for parents to educate their children, and it is also essential to accompany their children. At least they can teach them correct values and not embark on the road of illegal crimes.

　　Call on parents to strengthen the education and companionship of their children, restrain their words and deeds with their own words and deeds, and teach by example. Give children a bright future while maintaining social stability.
