SAD: 12yr Old Girl Raped In Benin

Is it inferiority complex, insecurity or just pure madness??? Why do people still rape? Worst of all a minor! Anytime I read stuff like this, it pains me so much that I feel my heart being cut with blades....but what can a one single "bloody" civilian like me do....I will keep talking about it and reporting it till the people in authority take drastic measures about it. I don't know if the rape law as has been passed, cos the guy (rapist) needs to be condemned behind bars!
