If your sister was raped; how would you respond?

My brother always told my sister and I that if anyone forced anything sexually on us he would kill them. My sister was raped a month ago and we didn't tell our parents or my brother and were worried how they would respond if they found out.

  • It's unlikely he will kill him. Although, I had a friend kill his sister's rapist, he was on PCP at the time though and actually witnessed it happen. He took on this kind of superhuman animal rage that's only possible on PCP and went after the guy and beat his head into the kerb until the guy had no head left. He got manslaughter because he's from New Zealand and they have some kind of compassionate clause or something.

    But no, uhm... If I found out my sister was raped... Well, my sister is a young girl, I don't know what age she is, I have never met her, I have heard nothing but her name, but she's my sister and I love her. I'd be very upset to hear that she was raped, but not surprised. I, myself, was raped at a young age, and I would try and help her get through it as best I could; I'd talk to my father a lot about it.

    But I wouldn't go after the guy, that's just not me. My father would! Boy my father would beat that guy senseless if he could get his hands on him, *boy* I don't know what he would do.

    It's possible your brother would go after him and try to damage him permanently. He'd get ANGRY. He's probably got an HONOUR complex, and thinks he's gotta look after his sisters. You know those nutcase guys who beat up all their sisters boyfriends because they think they're protecting them? He's likely on that spectrum - not that extreme, of course. Drawing the line at rapist is pretty fair I must say, ahaha. But yeah, he's being a big Samurai. It's impossible to break it to him in a way that he'd react responsibly. He will not act responsibly. But, then, it's not good to keep it from him either, it really ain't good to keep that stuff from anybody. Everyone knows I was raped, EVERYONE, every a**hole, man. Me and my circle of friends even have a joke about it, where we play on me talking about it so much, LOL. That's how open I am about it. Apart from weird subconscious lasting effects that only Freud could get rid off, it doesn't confront me at all. However, my mother doesn't know and that rips me up real bad. I can't take that. I got bad guilt from that, I got a sickness from that, I feel sick to my stomach, but I just can't tell her. If I just told her at the time, I wouldn't have that. I wouldn't have that at all...

    The fewer people she tells, the more it's going to eat her. We've all met that a**hole who won't SHUT UP about getting raped, the kind of person you can't even feel sympathy for, right? Don't be like that, but you have to admit, they're probably the happiest of all the victims. I say tell him; his storm shall pass. Don't tell him who did it, unless you want to get into JUSTICE, and I'd rarely recommend getting into JUSTICE, because that's full of caprice and very unsympathetic to victims.

  • I would look for a way to find evidence of the rape, and go to the police to have him arrested. If I met the guy sometime after the rape, I would beat him up (I know martial arts), and call the police. I would not kill him because I don't want to go to jail. That's going too far in my opinion.

  • You need to tell the police. She should have notified authorities right after the rape because then they would have solid evidence aka DNA of the rapist. You can still get him in trouble right now but it will just take a bit longer because they will have to do more stuff to confirm that it was him. You got a good brother though, like at least he cares about you guys. But yeah, seriously, go to the police!

  • id try to be as supportive as possible with her, rape is so traumatic and all to often people blaim the victim which only makes things worse, but inside I would be seething and if I I've crossed paths with the person who did it I would probably attack them

  • Okay I don't know about the rest of these girls but someone does that to my sister I'm taking a Louisville slugger baseball bat to that guys head ribs and nuts

  • If someone did that to my sister I would hold them hostage and torture them. I would actually tie them to a chair and start burning them and stabbing them. I would go absolutly ape sh*t on someone like that.

  • Skip telling the parents and go to police. You should have done this immediatly as there might have been a chance of gathering genetical information from his sperm or saliva. Which country do you live in? Is your police reliable? If so, go to tell them right away...

  • First of all you need to tell the police about it. Of course if you do that your family has to know about it as well. As a man with one sister, I can honestly say that in the heat of the moment I probably would kill her rapist or at least severely harm him. But this matter needs to be handled by the authorities.

  • I wouldn't say I would kill them, but there would certainly be blood.

  • For sure, I would broke this guy's hands, and later give him on the police.

  • I've never been in this position (Thank God) but I would probably see to it that this guy would be in jail for a very long time. And not just a normal sentence.

    • I doubt your brother would actually kill him. I think you should tell your parents.

  • I would beat the living sh*t out of the guy that did that to my sister. then I would turn him over to the police.

  • They'd never find the body.

    But that's not the point. You should have told the police. The guy who raped your sister, is going to rape someone else at some point. And you will be partly responsible for that.

  • I think they would be more worried about the fact that you kept it a secret from them

  • Good question. My gut reaction would be like his, to kill whoever did it. But unfortunately you can't do that in this world. I don't know what there is to do. Maybe try to go report it? I'd wanna find the guy and at least beat his ass

  • Probably the same although I hope I would control myself at the end and actually get some justice instead of some pointless gesture that only makes things worse. But I would also be a little angry with my sister if she kept it a secret since that hurts the legal case.
