Pregnant and trapped: Guatemala’s child sex abuse crisis | Unreported World
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 лис 2022
- In Guatemala there is a silent crisis of abuse and child pregnancies robbing a generation of their youth.
Unreported World reveals the stories of the young indigenous girls forced into motherhood after being raped and sexually assaulted. Isolated girls are particularly vulnerable, with no phone signal, and no neighbours.
In 2020, an average of 13 girls aged 10-14 became pregnant through rape in Guatemala every day. The cries of these young girls go unheard, reporter Anja Popp explores how the justice system appears to be failing these girls and learns that only three per cent of reported sexual violence cases are investigated.
Some girls are abandoned by their family due to shame with a few pressured to live with their abusers. But there are a handful of people and organisations trying to make a difference and teach young girls to understand their bodies and resist the cycle of abuse.
This episode contains testimony around sexual violence you may find distressing.

I'll never understand why a man would look at a child in any other way than being a child. It's sickening and so unfair to these children. I really hope the government starts to prosecute these men for raping these children.
My first thoughts after a few seconds of watching the video: WHRE IS THE GOVERNMENT?
I would agree, any man who is going to participate in such activities should be put to death. I'm not a believer in the death penalty but that's what pedophiles deserve. You can't fix pedophiles, and we as a society should not have to worry about these perverts attacking our children, or keeping them comfortable in jail. There should be no exception, no matter how rich and powerful you are, if you have sex with children you die. Don't torture them, make it quick, but make sure it gets done. That's exactly how I feel, and I strongly believe most people feel the same way as well.

Agreed🎯
Predators. They see an easy target.
Some humans are more animalistic than others.
Heart breaking. It's sickening that Men across the world feel entitled to rob the innocence of children and women..scarring the life another without repercussions.
Imagine what outcome of child abuse is to country. The social, economic costs. Very high. The babies , the ultra innocent a lifetime of suffering. Soooo. Cruel.
Sometimes the family members know who the rapist are but won’t tell on them.
I agree, though I would like to add that there are many women involved with this kind of stuff, also. Sick people...
And women
With no regard
@@maeganamann6003 so much for being a catholic country. They’re not Christians, I noticed the female with the radio program have a red string tied on her wrist and I think on one ankle.
Some of these parents are part of the problem. How is your child molested and then you blame her😭😭😭. It's painful and very sad to see young girls robbed of their childhood In such a cruel, horrendous way
Yeah the parents probably pimped them out
It's even more haunting when you think about the fact that for all the rapes that result in pregnancy, there are also tons that don't. The scope of the problem is absolutely horrifying
The sheer demand is what's kept quiet by msm..
Our World is Demonic and thus perverted and evil.
Well said.
Especially knowing that most girls don't hit puberty at those young ages and there's only 5 days out the month they can be impregnated in the small percentage of girls who can get pregnant that young..
And they didn't even get to the traumatic impact it had on their own babies
To break that cycle is to not only teach the girls but also start teaching the boys from a toddler how to treat girls and others with respect. retrain the military, they are committing crimes and should be held accountable for their actions. arm these girls and give them survival tactics. they are fighting for their lives.
Retraining them insinuates they were trained to rape. It's all useless. The only way to stop it is by executing or very least castrate convicted rapists quickly. That will deter others from making the evil decision that every person knows is wrong since birth.
Keep it that way lol, this system requires peasants for balance
shut up boys get molested and abused to there are plenty of psycho females especially female child murders
women kill children far more than men have ,
This is very much cultural, happens in all latin america, sure it happens all around the world but latin america it's def up there when it comes to violent crimes, rapes and overall hatred against women, gangs and ideologies where they say man is more valuable than woman keeps going generation after generation creating problems like this.
@@eunheS that's why america needs to secure it's southern border!! Trump wasn't lieing when he said "they are sending their violent criminals, rapists, and drug dealers"
The feminicide and the hatred towards girls and women on this planet it the hardest thing to accept. As a survivor myself from Germany I feel for all of these girls and women.
Specially in Latin America and middle eastern, not saying it does not happen in other countries but it is for sure much more prominent in those two areas of the wolrd, mostly due to ideology that keeps passing on generation after generation
@@eunheS I hear East Asian countries have more serial killers than all of Latin America 🤔
I watched a documentary many years ago saying that the most dangerous words in the world are: "It's a girl." I think it's kinda dated, but my God was it scary. An actual female infanticide happening globally.
I appreciate that u put this video up, its good exposure-- but one more movie isn't going to stop this- "thats obvious"- how about addressing the real problem and who's buying these kids!!! It's the (indoctrinated human male) - that's who! "NOT TALKING ABOUT THE DIVINE MASCULINE/A REAL MAN"- there 2 different life forms all together-
The truth of the matter is simply this,- they've been granted a plethora of loopholes after loophole for thousands of years, for they're highly toxic, curupt and abominable Behavior! And through this infectious societies cookie cutting machine, that have only enforced its effects "exponentially"- , in every single form and fashion! Catering to depravity "EVERY SINGLE SECOND OF THE DAY" that has "PROVEN TO HAVE NO F*****( BOTTEM"!
through endless porn sits, strip joints, (massage parlors, for there happy endings of there choice, but of course)!
prostitution, endless sexual exploited images, sexualized eye candy every single where they look! -
NOT TO MENTION "VIAGRA AND OTJER SUCH FORMS" being unscrupulously handed out like f****** candy!! Knowing damn well, most are NOT using for there wife's, or girlfriends ect...
And then we sit back, scratch our head trying to figure out what happened??? right!! We all know exactly what happened! but nobody wants or has courage to admit the f****** truth- cuz that would be too much of an (inconvenient truth) and would mean pulling the plug on everything that's cause this in the 1st place!! So... how about u have a podcast or Interview on (THIS ) matter??
feel a particular "disgust and hatred for the human male "- GLORIA STEINER said something a long time ago-- "THE HUMAN MALE HAS BEEN INDOCTRINATED "by a patriarchal regime that was spawned from a septic tank" TO BE NOTHING MORE THAN A (DNA ABOMINATION) AND THERE FOR BASICLY, HAS EXISTED AS A DETRIMENT TO EVERY LIVING THING ON EARTH!
How true that has proven to be!!!!💯💯💯
And the opposite is to be said about the (DIVINED MASCULINE/ A REAL MAN)-what nature intended him to be- but unfortunately, there as rare as white leopards😢
I'm sorry a 10 year old being pregnant doesn't present as being a threat to their life?!? THEY ARE TEN YEARS OLD!!!!!!!
As a man of the United States 🇺🇸 of America and a child of Guatemala 🇬🇹 I cry for those who are hurting there and I am ashamed of the bastards who call themselves men of my native home I wish those girls who suffer and are making the difference by standing up against these criminals succeed in their fights against those who are violating them. I am disgusted by the stains of these actions by those who harm their own people in Guatemala.
Be disgusted about all men doing nothing other then some raping and other just feeling sorry 💁🏾♀️

@@crystalmar.s lol I dont get it crystal you want the men to fight? How?war with army police govt?or to kill whoever does the crime?people always complain about British colonization etc well what do you think people were doing at that time all this was normal part of life wars rapes pillage plundering slavery child sacrifice virgin sacrifice witchcraft orgies massacres humans have been the same forever
@@farqusada6939
I'll not be working that answer for men.
Their shame, their problem.
Woman are already doing enough more. So that you didn't saw the documentary 💁🏾♀️
@@crystalmar.s women rape and sell their children and most abused children is from single mother broken family if men so bad why women keep opening their holes
Are there any righteous men living in this country who is willing to stand up and defend the poor girls? 😭
Send a militia, guns blazing
N O P E!
@@reemore0218 And then males get so confused if women say they're trash. Like okay...so quite being very trashy if it offends you. Educate males. Don't look away if these awful levels of attacks happen as this is a widespread male behavior. Fix it. :/
What about teaching men young and old that rape is a crime ,Lord have mercy on these girls and their babies
They know. They don't care obviously. They don't view females as human beings. They designate only themselves as human out of fear, hatred and jealousy.
I know a girl raped by a neighbor when she turned 13. Her son is 2 years old now. Her mother left her in Mexico when she was 7 to the care of a relative. She is 16 now, a mother with no idea of how to make of her life. Ican feel her sadness and the pain of losing her childhood. I am helping her but I am having so much difficulty dealing with her pain. Rape is rape. The word trauma, pain or fear cannot describe it. It is so sad that I am hearing this now. Why?
It hurts because you have a conscience. You have empathy and sympathy that allows you understand the victims of violence, poverty and rape.
Makes me incredibly mad that these men go unpunished.
Because there's no need. They paid for it.
@@albertajnstajn9516 how did they pay for it? Lol
@@headliner733 With money ofc. They paid for their services.
@@albertajnstajn9516 why should they go unpunished?
I know violence isn’t always the answer but as a father of a young daughter I wouldn’t stand for a rapist to be allowed to go free or live even in proximity to my daughter. More despicable than the so called men over there is the government or lack of any justice system even a tribal hearing. Hoping and praying something changes!
Sometimes violence is the answer. They commit these crimes because they do not fear retribution. Violence would change that. That’s why countries have armies. Without powerful opposition, evil will flourish. One violent act can stop many.
If he lived next door to me he would suddenly become very, very ill with no hope of recovery.
@@Wonka1776 evil is like a virus though, and that’s one way it spreads. I think a violent response needs to be measured and purposeful, not a vehicle of hate.
@@peripheralparadox4218 i wasn't trying to make a vehicle of hate, more as a deterrent of could happen so the next one may think twice. Castration could also work with some added humiliation and embarrassment of some kind
@@Wonka1776 yeah I agree, I think castration would be best for abuse cases of overwhelming evidence. Plus an attempt of acid with therapy, and life time imprisonment for second offence. From a spiritual perspective, I think evil deserves a chance of some kind of redemption, otherwise it will always remain evil. But not at the risk of further harm.
I Thoroughly enjoy the less known or discussed content covered by Unreported World. Bringing attention to lesser known issues and controversies throughout with compassion and professionalism is a rare gem.
And yet it still gets thrown onto the wheelbarrow of problem's, ie gang's poverty no hope.i don't know how they do it.i have no problems when I look at this.
I feel heartbroken for these girls. I remember when my innocence was stolen from me when I was 7 years old to the time I was 12. By someone who should've been protecting me from that.
What happen to you ?
Your father right?
@@isra3638 I was sexually abused.
@@ManeScreen. As hard as it is to admit unfortunately yes it was my dad
I am so sorry that happened to you.
This is absolutely devastating. I really hate this world sometimes. I hope these girls and woman get the support they deserve.
I was thinking the same, especially about the civil war part.
Blame men according to them most of them are saints and it’s ‘Morden woman’ fault that they abuse and exploit poor women in third world countries!!
I'm super hating the world right now.💔
How can this not be addressed by those in authority???? These girls need help.
Authority is also corrupt. Sad
@Chen Yung it's not size of a country that affect this problem. Statistics shows its closely connected to low economic, cultural traditions and of course corruption.
Because the authorities are more corrupt than the “criminals “
because those in authority are the main rapists of these peoples land, labor, and life. Also the "authorities" where the ones who carried out the military "rape operations" and executions of these same people.
@Chen Yung WTF??
Castration law must be passed to stop this.
*woodchipper law
and the female offenders? What about them? I say, if your caught and proven beyond doubt guilty, like in China. Taken out the back of the court house and shot dead. Male, female, they, them ,shim, alien, doesn't matter. There are so many female sex offenders as well, in every culture. Be they actual sexual offenders or trafficker's. Yes Men do it more, but to think its only men, enables female sex offenders to never have a light shined on them, and leaves children unaware that women can be extremely dangerous too.
Precisely!!!
Castration?
Cut the entire thing off.
Can't rape if you have nothing to rape with.
*decapitation law
Simply heartbreaking!!! Why should a child victim of rape be forced to have a baby when she is barely surviving herself? She should have the right to terminate the pregnancy 😞
They live in wilderness. It's surprising that old women don't know how to get rid of the
problem.
☘🌿🤫
honestly as a chapina i can say that some women or not most are indoctrinated by a machista society fueled even more with christianity. A society like that is only a danger to the children and innocents of that place, thats why i moved tbh. :(
@@annawiniarska2054rape is absolutely horrendous, but the baby is not at fault- therefore, call it what it is, it is not a problem they would be getting rid of, but a human being. The circumstances do not change that fact.
@@alaskan3678 Neither is this child at fault she was violently raped and forced to get pregnant therefore. Physically she's way at risk to give birth so young. Even if is she was lucky to not die giving birth so young, and at home, with no doctor around. She was probably helped by some old women who have some knowledge of these things, like a village "midwife". Her life is just as important and I've seen some people commenting how she should just be grateful that she carried a life in her womb and gave birth... A child.... Forced to give birth.. If that was their child, raped and traumatised for life, would they put her life at risk to make her give birth at 9-11yo? Speaks volume about them..
You do know that a high percentage of women DIE due to complications during childhirth right? It changes the body forever. Can you imagine having something growing inside you when that was DONE TO YOU AGAINST YOUR WILL??? I hate how selfish and non empathetic men can be towards women due to their morals being pushed on these victims. They suffer for your morals and it’s okay because that’s just your religion and should be protected? Screw that.
My BF family is from Guatemala and his uncle would tell me men in Guatemala like them young from ages 12 and up. When I expressed disgust my BF said my uncle is joking. His uncle said to me if you are 25 years old you are too old already no man would want you.
How old the men who like the young girls around that age? 20 or more? because in my country, rural areas have the same view like that too, but the men who like the young girls are around 17 or 20s
Damn his uncle has some really wicked mindset, what a bozo
There also needs to be education of men by men.
No one ever talks about taking responsability, only blaming and name calling
@@kiarusakura That needs to change
Not education if you have to tell someone this it's to late we know naturally that's all bad without being taught no one hed to tell me not to rape lol wtf
Men need to be educated by these mom's.
Life is neither created in or born to men. Life is created in and born to MaMa. Our children speak our husbands name, Dada. Men are gey and do not belong teaching lies against who we are, this world persecutes as woMAN. So do not see Mama's are one with MaMa Nature they have come against.
A rape is a serious trauma to victims; life itself is already troublesome, only evil people would want to add to others' problem. I pray God see them through 🙏
Religion is the reason for the opposition to contraception.
@@davidz3879 But contraception does not prevent rape; people need to have moral conscience to do the right thing. off course I am not denying the fact that the abuse and misinterpretation of religion is the cause of most sufferings today.
@@jeremiahgeorge3548 Contraception would prevent millions of babies being born to poor adolescents. That would undeniably be an improvement.
@@yoomsuu It's a Catholic country - it certainly is religion that's the reason for contraception being opposed - whether people are married on not.
@@davidz3879 it’s not religion. It’s the people who use religion to try and justify the wrong they are doing. The bible talks about this being wrong. Yet. People still does wrong. Question. If a parent teaches you right from wrong. And you still chose to do wrong. Who’s fault is that? Your parents given you all the tools to make the right decisions. But you do the opposite. It’s only you to blame.
It’s the same with the bible. The bible is full of things about what is right and what is wrong. Yet. People still does wrong. The only people to blame. Is the person for not listening.
That last part at the very end - the little girl gave birth at home ten days before she was scheduled to have a cesarean delivery. How horrible that must have been for her! She’d heard all about how she’s too young to do it normally. She’d been told that she’d get anesthesia. There would be medical people all around her. Instead, the birth was thrust upon her unexpectedly... terrifyingly the birth attacked her in the same way as she endured the rape. This detail about her was a final gut punch ending
Very true. But I was concerned about the fact that nothing was said about the condition of the mother and who was there to support her. And the same question for all of the young mothers.
@@byronhk4197 I know right? I can't the one girls family blames her! That's so messed up! 😢
Birth isn't an attack. Really sick and weird of you to compare childbirth to rape. Im sure she loves her child. Freak
@@bbbbb7813 So what else would you call it? A little girl being forced to go through a painful birth that her poor body was not developed enough for is just as much of an attack as the rape. YOU are the only freak here.
Sounds like gods will if you ask me
Nobody in comments talked about that abortion was illegal, which contributed in a big way to the girl victim's tragedy.
Heartbreaking 💔. I grew up I Guatemala and I can confirm violence against women is very present in everyday life situations and I lived in the city I am also aware of the violence in rural areas because I had relatives who lived far away too.
I think Its a cultural problem over tbere!
The indigenous girls are quite vunerable to rape.
Sad so very Sad
not just there ahhh..try honduras,el salvador,mexico,bolivia,peru,all these places,where there are mayans;incas descendants are like this ahh
it is cultural and they just dont like women!!
It's depressing.
@@alfawolf7125 Unfortunately this is world wide problem. In the Middle East it’s extremely common, same in India
There are some very sick comments on this thread. All from men.
Because that's what many fantasize for women. Scary.
Yup reading these sick comments makes you loose faith in humanity :/
It’s the usual gender that proves my name everyday!!
It's astonishing to me that the girls that endured rape and the pedophiles that do the crime consider this part of life. I'm so heartbroken for them. I hope more trauma and sexual abuse education/awareness support is given. My prayers.
I think they need to start arresting all the responsible men who have done this harm to little girls!! I mean start taking action now!!!
Unfortunately this wont happen. I say that families should start taking justice into their own hands they would be making a great deed for the society
Arresting ❌️ unaliving✅️
It’s sad that their government won’t address the issue. For how long will these little girls suffer? It is not fair at all. I can’t even imagine the trauma of the girl whose attacker has the guts to live right next door to her!!!😢
I know right I was thinking the same thing but I would b over their every day kicking his butt
Because fool. They engage in it too and profit off it. Happens in America by you beloved politicians.
@@highvalue1195 this has nothing to do with America! Stop minimizing other countries issues by comparing them to your country!
@@Littleone124fool I am talking about their counties corruption. SAME THING HAPPENS IN AMERICA. Our “leaders” partake in assault too
@@Littleone124 the South is pretty similar to this in many ways tbh, its pretty fuckin bad...especially in poor areas.
This is so sad I’m tired of governments not giving a shit about people
You can say that again.
It hurts my heart that SOME men see girls and females as their possessions to use, abuse, and discard as they wish.
It's even worse when their vicious deeds go unpunished.
I feel the pain of those girls. May they be filled with strength to cope.
Kudos to the lady helping. May God bless her endlessly.
🙏🏾❤
i don't think god cares, we are on our own in this merciless and corrupted world.
@saurabh gupta I understand your point. I'm sure sometimes many feel that way. But I believe in God, and so, I trust his goodness and intervention.
@@secretAgentRandyBeans11God does care. We cannot blame God for the consequences of free will.
It’s a lot more than SOME men if it’s about 15 young girls getting pregnant every day just in these small communities. It honestly feels like SOME men are the exception- to choose not to be r4pists and to interfere and educate the men around them. More than women, men just care about themselves/their actions and try to mind their business by turning a blind eye
Guatemalan immigrant here. I have honestly no clue how I never heard about this. This is absolutely horrifying and disgusting in every single way possible. I fear for the women in my family who are still down there, especially my little nieces because god knows what will happen to them down there. I pray for my family and all the women in Guatemala. No one should ever go through this
It's not just there it's everywhere even in your backyard it's sickening they should put all of them in the desert live off the land never come back in society they act like it's ok I would kill them if I caught them with my child they have to live with that for the rest of there lives they might go to jail for a little while then back doing again to another child they asking do they feel remorse how many times you going to keep asking them that let them out here they go again. The justice system is for them not the victims they know they not going to get a lot of time that's why they keep doing it. These k8ds is our future they should have a choice when they want to sleep with someone not at 3 years old or older. that should be there special time like what was told to us.
Are you a man ? Women are sexually assaulted 6 times more than men during childhood .
These are babies being forced to have babies. Painfully. Alone. Its heartbreaking
This so so sad and breaks my heart for these young girls.
Hold these men accountable for their abuse and violence against these children. If they are not held accountable, then this behavior will only continue.
This kind of thing is why LEGAL abortion is absolutely imperative to human rights. Regardless of anyone's opinions, a child especially should have the RIGHT to reclaim their bodies. This is sickening.
That doesn't give you right to k1ll babies.
Had to stop the video multiple time, it was hard to hear all of this. I can’t even imagine what there all going through, but I am glad this Chanel at least spreads awesomeness on the matter
My heart goes to all the young girls and women who’ve been raped by these monsters. What is extra heinous is these monsters are a mother’s son, a sister’s brother, a daughter’s father, grandfathers, fathers, uncles, neighbors….
When parents stop blaming the daughters and blame the rapist things will change.
How can we help? Is there somewhere we can send money or clothes? What can we do to help? I am originally from Guatemala and this documentary just broke my heart. How can abortion not be legal under these circumstances?? This system is failing every single one of these girls, not just the girls, but their children. This just angers me.
Hi, agree with you, where and how can we help. Let’s help, I am grew up in Guatemala. This is Silvia Reyes
Perhaps try contacting Anja Popp, the young woman who did the interviews and made this report? She might have an Instagram account. I don’t know if she does, I don’t have Instagram. Or try contacting this channel directly. The women who run the shelter/haven for the victims would certainly welcome donations of cash, bedding, baby clothes and clothing for the victims/survivors.
Is there a shelter in your home state or province for victims of sexual abuse? Is there a shelter for battered women and their children who had to witness the abuse? Ask them what they need. Think globally, act locally.
Maybe a book collection project. So many sitting in charity shop windows.
They would need to be filtered but for learning to read write and speak English must be something
@@sharong8511 is there a way to sponsor a girl whose family has abandoned her? We are bringing in people from all over Latin America. Is there an adoption process?
@@melissamoody6397
Hi Melissa. I will try to contact Ms Popp and the filmmakers and see what I can find out. I will report back here. I’ve been thinking about these girls all night!
I’m so mad for these girls why aren’t they being protected knowing this is an ongoing problem why
It is sad that the men in these societies do not think to protect their daughters. You would think if your 12 year old is raped the father and brothers would beat the perpetrator to a pulp and the village throw him out. I live in South Africa which also has incredibly high rape statistics and child pregnancies. Raping a women and especially a young girl shows the absolute lack of self respect and disempowerment of these men that have to rape a young child who cannot fight back so they can feel some power.
A lot of times they get raped by their fathers/brothers/uncles. That's why. Lots of fathers of these girls themselves are rapists of other girls and if they do anything they'll get called out and beaten too for raping girls as well. They dgaf.
Well, men do really want "unconditional love"... from young virgins.... preferably hot.
These women will have to come together and fight this crisis
It can't happen. Country is to poor
I'm Guatemalan and we that live in the city are not completely informed of what occurs just a few miles away from here, I mean in rural areas, that says a lot about how poorly information is being managed here in Guatemala, we do not have this kind of documentaries to spread the voice of what's still happening among people that doesn't even understand what's happening to them. Lately, there's been an increase in women abuse and femicide, this is extremely concerning. I want to contribute and a lot of Guatemalans sure want to, but here it's dangerous to even try; thanks a lot to the people (could count them with 1 hand) that're really supporting girls in this situation, they're BRAVE people. I really appreciate this kind of content and I think education and anti-corruption movement are key to underpass all Guatemala's misery, however seems like that's just getting harder to get.
This is so wrong..
@Noufal Scorpius 🦂 Didn’t you watch the documentary? Oh yes child abuse of this kind is very wrong! I hope you get a chance to see it but it’s upsetting. It’s good to raise awareness and try stop this cruel abuse happening to children. 🕊
This is so SICK!! 😠 These men should be castrated. The poor girls. My heart hurts for them.😢
Hold these men accountable these horrible violations will never cease if not.
sometimes i wonder what my life would have been like if i had never been adopted from guatemala. sometimes i wonder if im a child of a woman who went through this. its scary to me to think about how this is still very real and is still happening. i hope my birth mother is ok whoever she is wherever she is. my heart goes out to these women and children. they deserve so much better.
I am so sorry these young women and girls are experiencing this. When are women ever going to be treated as equals and not used and abused at a man's whim? I am so sick of it.
It is because if a male is doing this they rarely get punished + they don't see women/girls as HUMAN. Just OBJECTS for sex. If we force some level of serious consequences, MAYBE something will change for a better future.

I know. I was anemic when I was pregnant and it was caught early and I felt so much better quickly with simple, inexpensive iron pills. Poor girl.
We need to teach these girls law, have them run for government positions, and mobilize against bail for violent crime
Wonderful woman being there for all these girls
She has so much love for all those young girls. God bless her.
God bless her/ . 🙏She is an Angel ❤
you gotta be a special brand of selfish to do this two young ladies who are struggling enough as it is.
Unbelievable, Angelina's attacker building a property next to hers. The government doing basically nothing, is amazingly awful. The government lady asking for forgiveness, just do something lady
The midwife and Carmelita are saints. Midwife may not be medically trained but she seemed so calm.
This situation is so heartbreaking. I hope their daughters never go through that terrible situation. The government has to take action, bring severe punishment to the rapists.
What's worse is they have no-choice to carry the child to full term... They are stuck even though a horrifying act happened
No bail if the girl is under 14 ha wow. That shows you that the government does not consider it a serious crime.
The body of a 9 year old simply isn’t ready for pregnancy and definitely not strong enough to go through birth
Apparently it is
@@thatguyjimmie yeah and the girl in this video is 100% proof that it’s possible.
@@shinycrookedstars But her body is still too underdeveloped for her to give birth *safely.*
That's why whenever a child gets pregnant, especially one as young as ten, it's considered a high-risk pregnancy.
Just because she can get pregnant doesn't mean she should be pregnant. And it certainly doesn't mean she's ready to have a child while still being a child herself. That really isn't something to be overlooked.
@@eliesh3833 but she did it, and she did it without medical intervention, and she is alive. That’s the point. Who knows, apparently her body IS developed enough if she had her period early, and went through puberty earlier, to have the body capable of giving a natural birth. But go ahead and jump to conclusions that a 10 year old’s body is just not strong enough for doing something her body was biologically and specifically designed to do, just because of her age and YOUR assumption about her body development.
I know that. I’m very educated in OB care, I receive care under one right now, and I know very well of high risk OB care, I even know that an abortion is NOT the answer to a 10 year old’s pregnancy or any other high risk pregnancy. It is actually a scheduled c-section or medical induction at pre-term. Which she didn’t have either of, and natural birth was possible for her. As it had been possible for quite a few young girls around her age throughout history. Google it.
Yes, of course it would have been ideal to have an high risk pregnancy OB to supervise her care, many of us would have wanted that for her, but it turns out she did fine on her own in the end. She is not mentally and emotionally mature enough to be a mother to that child, that’s why independent adoption exists and what her community really needs is a pro-independent adoption society (and the US too, FOR SURE that needs to be the most accessible) and more resources for her that will allow her to be a mother if she desires. Pro-motherhood resources like high schools with a daycare program that we see in Texas would also do very well here, as we can already see something of the similar in this UA-cam video.
@@shinycrookedstars So you acknowledge that a child is obviously not mentally ready to become a mother herself but still think it's okay to have her give birth if she ever became pregnant, especially as a result of rape.
Briana, if you are as informed on this matter as you say you are, then you know that pregnancy and birth are not laughing matters, nor are they just "minor inconveniences." They are biological processes that are extremely burdensome on both the body and the mind, enough to the point where even they can be a source of psychological trauma, and there's even the potential threat of death for the mother.
Not to mention, the effects of pregnancy are already bad enough on the body of a fully grown woman, so you can rightfully conclude that the effects are made worse on the body of a little girl, given how underdeveloped it is.
All that said, here is the question that I have for you.
If girl was already severely traumatized after having been raped, wouldn't forcing her to go through nine months of pregnancy and then the excruciating process of birth only traumatize her further? Especially if you consider the fact that the birth would cause permanent damage to certain parts her body?
Why do men feel they are entitled to our bodies!?
Because they dont have brsins bloody swines
Male entitlement and male behaviour !! They prove my name everyday it seems!!
I have met a lot of Guatemalans especially the Children. They are too friendly and trusting. I love these people. They are hospitable and loving.
I have seen the mothers, they have their babies literally close to them wherever they go.
I pray that the children find themselves to study in the Sisters of Mary Girlstown and Boystown School or Hermanas De Maria Villa de Las Niñas y de Los Niños.
I believe strongly that the parents of these victims shouldn't ever be charged if they all just decided to murder these bastards 😤
Exactly, rapists lifes don't matter at all. These people need to take actions to their own hands
The amount of horrendous crimes that goes on in Guatemala makes me so sad. I've spent many years of my life in Guatemala, half my blood is Guatemalan, and I even have dual citizenship there, but the level of crime has gotten to the point where I feel like I can't proudly say I'm Guatemalan anymore. Hell even my own family over there are dangerous to be around because of the things they do. Makes me genuinely scared whenever my mom visits them. I just hope that one day things turn around. Hopefully in my lifetime. I'd really like to visit again without having to worry about the potential of being kidnapped because I stick out like a sore thumb due to my height and lighter complexion.
So sickening 💔 no words except makes me so angry at these men! Keep fighting girls, stick together, don't be left alone.
This is not happening only in Guatemala. This is a Latin American phenomenon.
No, it's a worldwide phenomenon.
It happens everywhere.
not as much as Latin country call it as it is.
It’s called Passport Bros look it up these men are all over Asia Latin America and Africa!! This needs to stop!!
So true as a Puerto Rican this is also a big issue with our community
This video is a clear example of why all countries should provide equal access to healthcare, including abortion. As an SA victim I cannot emphasise enough the importance of having control of your own body and situation. I'm telling you that the reason people oppose abortion or limit it is because they don't want women to have control over their bodies. Banning abortion gives rapists power and simultaneously reduces the power of women. It also works to keep poor people in their place by ensuring they don't have access to education and employment opportunities. If women are continually pregnant, looking after kids and therefore not able to work, it gives the government and powerful men ultimate power to do whatever they like.
No, the reason people oppose abortion is because they oppose the murder of innocent developing children. Don’t try and twist it to suit your narrative. I’m all for women having control over their own bodies, but when they are pregnant - it’s not just their body.
I wish more people understood this!
I’m also a survivors and wouldn’t abortion enable rape to continue??? Wouldn’t it allow men to get away with having kids and not worry about the consequences? Why don’t y’all go after the men committing these HORRIBLE crime????
@@rosegarden2014 because it never happens. For one it's hard to prove rape and another it's very invasive and traumatic for a victim to go through having a rape test done right after to prove it, then to go to court to see their abusers then most of the time not much ever happens anyways or threats are made on the woman to ever speak out against it. This is why so many dont ever report in the first place. Most barely get any type of jail time for their crime then you got to worry about them coming out after you afterwards. More needs to be done to protect victims in the first place and there needs harder convictions.
@@rosegarden2014 in countries where its illegal men will use rape to pregnant someone on person to trap them. We are talking about abusive relationships. It's a power control. Look up videos on here from countries where all this is talked about. They also have the most lenient laws on protecting the victims. Even some try to make the victim marry the rapist.
And so many Americans want to ban abortion wtf
These brave girls deserve protection and support! No little girl should ever have to endure abuse or the stresses of childbirth. It's horrible that girls are forced to live with the pedophiles who raped them. The girls should never be shamed. It's the preditory men who should be publicly shamed and jailed!
The males in the culture need to be reconditioned!
Until there are serious consequences for these men, it will not stop.
Unfortunately, it’s not just in Guatemala. Indigenous women all across Latin America have been subject to se-ual abuse and , perhaps most disturbingly, forced to “service” members of foreign military organizations, the US being one of such countries whose members have been soliciting indigenous minors
I guess I'll become a soldier then. 😍
It is a huge pain to invite the girl to listen to the baby heartbeat. It's way too torturing.
Please recruit more people to help stop this rape from happening. It really hurts so much to see these girls suffer.
All need long term contraception to protect them somewhat from these evil men
How would contraception protect you from a rapist? He leaves nothing to condemn his actions so he feels free to come back and do it again??
First, my deeply respect to that woman who is giving a damn about these young innocent girls!
Second, it schocks me how often pedophillia actually happens, not only there, but all over the world.
We live in a very sick world, full of violence, it is heartbreaking...😢
Imagine the money and resources privileged Feminist activists could raise and provide to these girls instead of carrying on incessantly about ridiculous things like "manspreading" and "unwanted looking".
They could make a tangible difference in the lives of real victims - women and girls who are truly suffering a *dearth of supports and have little or no hope - but they're too self-centred and self-absorbed to care about anyone but themselves and their unbelievable, stunningly petty grievances.
REAL feminists are. Old school feminists. I agree.. all the post-modern, post-spice girls,post feminist crap bores me to apoplexy! 😂 but you saw the real feminists right there in the film! The fantastic lady with her radio show, visiting these girls,on foot! And the reporter who is brilliant and does a lot of this good stuff! Don't despair,they are out there, just too busy with getting on with it to blow their own trumpets! ❤️
The governor should help these kids. Men who assaulted or raped should be imprisoned.
This is a reason why abortion shoud be legal and accessible for every women who needs it.
This, we cannot deny the fact that abortion means murder of a child in womb. This is the horrible fate woman has to bear, because of man's sin of greed.
I'm not saying this on every single man, naturally, but there are bad apples on every category. Having abortion options for women, who had sex against their own will is only safety net at that to save woman from losing her youth for a terrible excuse of a human being that thought it was real funny to have sex with a minor.
Jesus said that a sinner can not judge a sinner. That so far is true, but it never forbid us from confining these terrible individuals away from society to think for their sins forcibly instead of voluntarily.
@@peagames2002 this is not a child, this is an embryo. And it's not your business what I"m doing with my body. If you consider this wrong- fine, don't do it. But you have no right to tell other women what to do
@@peagames2002 wtf weirdo
@@adventuretime3175 well said, we as women and children MUST have a right over our own body. Abortion must exist in this evil world of seedy men who force it upon innocent children and women. I'm a jain, we believe in life for all sentient beings but I believe abortion is especially important for women and children in this situation but also for the child that is born unto it!!
Then that makes it where even more men will assault children. Make laws to punish the men and they won’t think twice.
Still having indigenous cultures and languages is a prize, Guatemala should treasure these people and protect them more.
It's shows how government is not really serious in combatting this kind of heinous crime. They have no interest of destroying this problem, and the lower people have also no strength to fight for these! God bless these victims!
The government wants this for the cycle, the poor people work for the rich
Now America, in most states, are getting closer to this exact same situation. Young girls or women who are raped, yet can't get an abortion. This is horrible
America is a country of privilege. Too many people have no idea what the real world is really like and they take for granted all the rights and freedoms we have here. I'm scared to see what it will be like in the next few years.
@@daisyadele967 Exactly
Govt officials need to protect their children and formulate the laws quickly and swiftly for those who rape children. They should also take any properties they own and hand them down to the children of these tape survivors as compensation.
I understand your feelings. But if this rapist has children, should they also suffer for the actions of their father? 3 suggestions. 1) A special court that deals only with these rapes to get away with bribes and local friendships. 2) Chemical or other castration and have it publicized. The victims should not be the ones ostracised by the community OR by their families. 3) Financial support of the victims and their offspring.
Praying for these young girls and their families. We have to protect our children from these monsters
My heart breaks for all the children in the world suffering we are here with you no child should have to worry about being raped point blank period
PLEASE ADD THE WEBSITE OR PHONE NUMBER TO DONATE TO SUPPORT AGENCIES LIKE THESE THAT ARE HELPING POOR VICTIMS OF THIS HORRIFIC CRIME!!! THEY NEED $$$ TO KEEP BLESSING THESE LITTLE GIRLS AND THEIR BABIES!!
Yes!yes! Yes!
Why are these young girls father's/ brothers etc not taking steps(violent revenge etc ) to ensure this abuse stops ?
Thanks for walking there to help. May God bless you kind souls.
This is so heartbreaking my heart goes out to all the girls and women in Guatemala. I pray that things change and justice can be brought to all of the victims.
These are 1 of MANY issues in my home country 🇬🇹💔, thanks for bringing awareness 🤍
I thought I've seen this documentary, then realized it's an ongoing issue and the one I watched was from 2009 & this one is NEW 😢😢
This was incredibly sad. My hope is that people will be held accountable for their actions.😱😭
This is depressing af.
It’s makes me feel bad because as a young Guatemalan mixed person I have to see women my age being abused and being forced to be in a marriage that they don’t want be in, as a ten year old I asked my dad why don’t I see his dad but my mom told three years later about what he did to my older cousin I cried because I had no idea and at the time I asked I was going though this too but it’s a good thing I’ve never met him because he could have hurt me to this day he’s still walking around,I wish that women over there didn’t have to go though this
My heart goes out to all these victims. I'm glad somehow a few have found a measure of peace, joy and happiness.
As for the sick men that did this I hope they burn in hell, all of them.
This is very sad for the girls and the kids that come out of the rape.
Thank you for bringing to the table such a big matter that everyone seems to ignore in this country.
Great commentary on such a sad story.
This happened to me and I am American.
If this was made into a crime, and the perps prosecuted and forced to pay restitution from their family coffers, then executed, it wouldn't take long for the word to get out, and this crap would stop. I'm sorry for these young girls all over the world who have to endure this kind of torture.
The only people I feel sorry for are the girls/ women being raped. I don’t feel bad for the mothers that raise their sons to be rapists. I don’t feel bad for the fathers that raise their sons to be rapists. I don’t feel bad for the men and boys who are going around abusing their female neighbors and relatives and fellow citizens. I don’t feel bad for the community that refuses to sit down and give those boys and men a good scolding. These people could greatly reduce this problem simply by openly condemning this behavior and condemning the men and boys who behave this way. Men do not live on and island into themselves. They are dependent upon the support of their community. There is plenty of leverage against them, but no one wants to use it. Mothers don’t want to condemn their sons. Fathers don’t want to condemn their sons. And the men don’t want to condemn eachother. I think there is a similar problem in guinea or something. Young boys would rape their female classmates on their way to school. One day, one of the men in the men of the community simply condemned this behavior and the rape rate dropped significantly. These people aren’t even willing to condemn men to their face. Forget physical repercussion, forget about jail time. The men and women i the community aren’t even willing to verbalize condemnation. They aren’t raising their joys differently. They aren’t instilling discipline. Contrary to all of the helplessness that these people communicate there is nothing g helpless about them. They simply don’t want to have different expectations of their boys and men. And that is their fault. His is the classic case of mommies and daddies raising their sons with no discipline, no respect for feminine authority , and an over inflated sense of self. I don’t care how dirt poor these people are. Those men and boys are spoiled and entitled and it cause them to be monsters and terrorists.
This makes me so angry 😡😠😡😡😡 they should have police 🚓🚨 to arrest those rapist animals and lock 🔐 them up
I wish there was a way we could donate money or resources to help out these girl who were robbed of their innocence 💔please share if you know how!
