If you could stop a child from being raped, would you?

[AndrésC64]

Imagine that you see someone raping a child, and that you could stop it with minimal to no risk to yourself; would you save the child?

[Now_Here]

Doesn't matter if it's a child or an adult. I'd definitely do my best to save the victim.

[call_me_scar]

Hell yeah I would what do I look like a god

[call_me_scar]

Nice I did guess the lesson right

[AndrésC64]

I noticed that. Good job. It's just absolutely blows my mind. They would think someone scum if they allowed it to happen, but they make excuses for their God. 🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️

[Ask_me_anything91]

Man I am legitimately curious as to the 2 guys who voted No to this question. I am curious what are your reasons? Are you being serious? Or are you simply trying g to be edgy, get attention, troll etc etc.

[Aerissa_Jade]

I'd not only stop the attack, I'd use lethal force to do so.

[Aerissa_Jade]

Per the update, I'd imagine the only people who wouldn't help are probably waiting their turn. I say this as I was raped as a child, also hence why I'd have no issues, making sure they will never EVER do it again to anyone else EVER.

[AndrésC64]

I agree with you. It truly truly boggles my mind how people can justify things like that. But billions of people justify it everyday. Again, I don't know why their heads don't explode.

[SSJBrutus]

I have a very generic gun for that reason alone. Quick easy murder of the rapist. Pick up my casing and then leave the scene hoping there were no cameras and nobody saw me. I would then call the police anonymously and find a place that wasn't suspicious but was in clear sight of the traumatized child. I would then hope that the police ignore the murder and just be happy the child is not dead somewhere

[SweetFyter]

I can't believe this is even a question. Of COURSE I'd help. Just READING this makes me mad. Obviously, if I had one of our rifles, that would help. But, even though I'm not very big, I'd take what little MA training I DO have and I would do what I could to stop the guy. I might not be able to take him down, but if I could delay him, the child might be able to get away or maybe someone bigger would come along and take the guy down. People who hurt kids should... never mind. It just shouldn't happen.

[DizzyDesii]

I would save anyone from getting raped. But I do worry about how badly i’d hurt the rapist because I dont want to go to jail for
going to far. I likely would’ve taken the nearest object and bashed them over the head with it

[MrtoddsWildRide]

A prosecutor would need to charge you and a jury would have to convict you and most of them would not based on the situation. In my state the law says that you may use force up to and including deadly force to protect from death or "serious bodily harm" and I know that rape has been included within the sphere of serious bodily harm. I am fairly certain that all of the states have similar language. The one requirement is that you have to use the least force necessary, but an argument can always be made that in the heat of the moment he least force isn't always clear.

[DizzyDesii]

@MrtoddsWildRide yea but i dont want to kill anyone. Only badly wound so that i can have enough time to save the person and call the cops

[MrtoddsWildRide]

Well yes, but m ypoint is that whatever amount of force you use, it is covered.

[DizzyDesii]

@MrtoddsWildRide I don't know some lawyer on here said if you dont shoot to kill or so on, that the criminal could throw it back at you

[MrtoddsWildRide]

In that circumstance, I would find it very hard to believe that any amount of force is going to be punished. He is right though. Dead men tell no tales.

[DizzyDesii]

@MrtoddsWildRide its just against my morals tho. I can't kill anyone even in self defense. Restrain, disable or wound is the most im willing to do

[MrtoddsWildRide]

I don't think most people could. I'm not saying you should either. Just pointing out that you would be okay with whatever level of force you use.

[Daniela1982]

Who would even say no?

[purplepoppy]

Regardless of risk you do what you can to stop it

[katiesmuff]

Without a doubt I would do my very best to prevent that rape from happening

[petitedollbabee]

You’d have to be a total disgusting piece of shit to not want to stop someone being sexually assaulted/r@ped. Whether it was a child or an adult, I would do everything in my power to stop it.

[KrisPW]

Hell yes... Of course. If I have the power to stop it, or delay it until someone else gets there that does, I'll do anything to help.

[ChrisMaster69]

Surprised this is even a question, any one with a level of being normal would

it’s basic common human decency.

[TheMVPofGaG]

I think any decent person would put themselves in danger's way to stop such a horror from taking place.

[Sour-rose]

Sounds like a good reason to... send god a "corrupted soul".

[ohshee]

I don't care if there were five guys there they're doing it I'm going to do everything in my power to stop it and I guarantee that I would win even if I had to take their life

[MysteriousDarkness]

@ohshee What if they all had guns pointed at you?

[StrawberryShake]

@MysteriousDarkness 🤦‍♂️😭

[ohshee]

They better kill me because if I they let me walk away I going around the corner I'm calling friends and cops cops better get there first. I dont care what it takes who ever it is. not leaving there not walk away

[DonkeyDan]

Id save the child even if there was high risk to me, I'd likely end up in prison on a murder charge though.

[sissyalexa]

Yes, do whatever possible to protect a child 😐 I would genuinely be surprised if someone is on the opposite side!

[NathanDavis]

unfortunately... I've been in a similar situation

saw the clerk of a corner store down the aisle, with his hands on a minor, a kid... and he the clerk was at least 60 years old, he was just all over her and had her pinned and she seemed it in distress but also frozen, none of them saw me coming and show up

and in that first half of a second a recognized that it was just messed up, and the second half of that same second I became really furious, needless to say I stopped that right away, and I still don't know how I managed to stop myself from becoming enraged and truly pissed off (I was 18 years old at the time, so way younger and stupid) so the only thing I did was to kick that old man's ass, and I didn't care about age or anything I still kicked his old disgusting self but I didn't use my fists, my hands yes, but not a fist and I made a couple of threats to him as he lived near my place and was known to many on the street, as same as the girl, who also lived near and who also escaped, her house was just two doors away from the corner store, I know that I should have made sure 1000% she was okay and that should have been my priority but this man needed a lesson and I was just mad

the aftermath of this was just a lot of drama on the neighborhood, the family of the old man wanted to call police and get me jailed for assault and whatever, so I told them yeah alright, let's do it... I am willing to admit and face those charges BUT police will hear ALL of what happened, and not only police... "others" will hear about this, "others" who might have a different concept of "justice" because well, that's how things can be around here

but the family of the old man decided to leave me alone about it... as for the family of the girl, I let them know about it all too, and the older brother of the girl, who was two years older than me just told me to not get involved anymore, that he would make sure it would not happen again

I didn't get to see that disgusting old man again, for long months... just the family of him, who still! today, they look at me with some grudge as if I were the scum and not their old man... they should feel lucky that I was able to contain myself, I do feel lucky that I was

[TheMVPofGaG]

you're a good person for stepping in. I hope the family at least thanked you for what you did for that young girl. It could have gotten bad!

[NathanDavis]

@TheMVPofGaG yeah, they were thankful and they also knew me since I was a child myself, since we all lived around the same streets... really glad it wasn't worse for her, that's what mattered the most, at the end

[TheMVPofGaG]

Absolutely. Many who didn't have a bystander or witness to help had the situation escalate to a point where there is no recovery and serious trauma. I'm glad there's people that are willing to step in and help.

[DarkCarousel]

Without a doubt.

[AvaOneLasTime]

Is this a rhetorical question?

[UniquelyBasic]

Theirs only one answer, to save the child.

[Gwenhwyfar]

Of course!!!

[saffoler]

I would try.

[HappyGoLuckyGal12]

I know that most decent people would

[FunkyMonkee]

OF COURSE I would!!! I'd either put a bullet in his fucking head or try to park it in the cheap seats with a Louisville Slugger!!
Had I been on that subway car a few months ago when that fucker was raping that woman and NO ONE did a FUCKING THING to help her, I'd have been all over that worthless motherfucker and ripped his fucking head off!!

[FunkyMonkee]

Yeah! Pretty sick shit, all this god garbage, isn't it? Even sicker, there's a number of sub basements at the vatican where the men that "work" there as religious figures torture, molest and rape children all the time!! That's why no one's allowed to go there!

[elizamichale1]

Ofcourse i would save the child

[MrtoddsWildRide]

Well I was in law enforcement so I did risk my life to keep child rapists off the street for the purpose of preventing them from raping more children.
I also saw a lot of very brave people without badges do the same.

[Andres77]

Yes, even if it put me at risk.
I'm in.

[skytatoe]

Is that even a question? Why would I not?

[douride2]

He would be in for a world of hurt. That poor bastard would know what happened to him.

[Chattyguy44]

I'd stop it as that person is about to commit a serious crime.

[SAMI_DABBAB]

As long as I know I'm not dying or getting damaged enough to have my life ruined I'll save that child, I'll risk moderate damage, but I'll not get too extreme

[sirderpsalot123]

Minimal to no risk? Absolutely. If I a saw a pedophile telling a child to get in his van and he'll give the kid candy.

Let's say I hear a child screaming and some men's voices in an abandoned house and I have no weapons and no light and I have no idea how many people are in the house. I'm not going to impulsively run in there with the intention of being a hero. I would call the police and let them handle it. For all I know, it could be a trap. The only child I'm dying for is my own.

[MysteriousDarkness]

I would do what I had to save the child or at the least try to. In America most rape is cause by someone the victim knows or in this case the parents know.

[sp33d]

What kind of question is that? Yes, of course. As for the update, I don't know. It probably is happening somewhere in the world as we speak. Not my concern.

[Nagatoro]

Obviously. Who the hell wouldn't?

[Aurora1010]

Two assholes did say no, but the vast majority voted yes

[MountAverage]

Why would anyone not? There's gotta be a specific motivation behind that question, what is it?

[AndrésC64]

You're right, there was motivation for my question. Check my latest update.

[ManHater]

Depends if they man is muslim, then I would let them because I would not want to be called an islamphobe. If it was a black man raping a white girl I would no do anything because if I did I would be racist. Besides child rape is pretty much legal in the uk as long as you are Muslim. You can groom and rape little girls all day long.

[CuriousMufuxka]

That bitch would get a kick to the forehead by the heel of my right steel toed boot.

[HeartFullOfGlue]

Yes I would fucking save them

[Random_girl_lol]

yeah duh

[EnglishEuropean]

If you have to think about this...

[msc545]

Save a child? Yes. Save a grown, strong, independent woman who doesn't need a man? Hell NO.

[DarkCarousel]

You’re seriously warped that you even feel the need to say that. I’d still intervene to help someone like you. I’m truly saddened and disgusted by your comment.

[msc545]

@DarkCarousel Why should I risk my life for someone who probably hates men? I'm a man.

[Creampiekarl420]

Hell no, if they’ll do that to a child I don’t even wanna think about what they’ll do to me and besides rape is a prime example of what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger

[BaldAvenger]

One of THEE BIGGEST DUMBASS QUESTIONS I'VE EVER READ!!!

[grega239]

Risk to myself?

I think any injury id sustain is acceptable. That kid is probably gonna have massive trauma.

[LordOfThePines]

Of course I would stop it. Who in their right mind would not stop that?

[Jouth]

Penis Sock

[AndrésC64]

Vagina shoe

[Jouth]

Ballsack Boot

[jimmy2]

I knock the crap out of him abd call the pilice

[urpapi69]

Even if I would get severely injured, I'd jump straight into the fight.

[Rose1984]

If I saw a child about to be raped I would save the kid by stepping in between the kid and the other person and let them have the sex with me instead of the kid if that other person is of legal age

[Anonymous]

Who the fuck wouldn't!

[Opinion Owner]

***?
