Maybe I just can't accept that such a thing is possible 🙁!

It's just too widespread among them for the authorities to be able to do anything about it by force.

It's not easy to see a good and fast solution and such cultural habits change too slowly.

Originally posted by PalynkaI agree it is deep rooted culturally inset. My aunty, a nun, recently came back from areas of Africa and S America, and this is only heresay, but had an in-depth conversation one night, and child (perceived child abuse as we see it) mistreatment came up.

Apparently there are areas and peoples where it is part of cultural growth for grandads, or the elders as they are called, to touch and rub the clitori of 1-2 year olds. I was nearly vomiting. She, Sister Maureen, had seen it and hadn't know how to react herself. It was culturally acceptable.
I am no psychologist, and would have difficulty in trying to explain that a thousand, or more, year old culture is unacceptable, and moronic abuse of innocence. Where can one possibly begin to change that???

As your aunt is a (Christian?) nun I expect and hope her reaction would be rightous outrage and her approach to be explaining that God takes child abuse very seriously. It's the devils aim to cause dehumanization and our foolishness that allows it.
