F**k the justice system. It's a joke.
The justice system has been fucked for years now. Decades even. Did you know, that if you're under the age of 10 in America, and you rape someone, you don't even go to trial for it? They just release you to your parents.
9 year old, brought his dad's gun to school and robbed a few of his classmates with it, taking about 40 bucks, a fortune for a kid his age. You know what his punishment was? He had to return the money and say he's sorry.
This is pretty much the world our children are going to inherit. Nice, isn't it.
The sad thing is, it's probably going to get worse before it gets better...
What I don't get is the first boy's parents. Forgiving rape doesn't make it go away, and on top of that, why the Hell didn't they do something anyway? The justice system is not based on forgiveness, and it never should be. Laws are in place, this boy was more than old enough to know what he was doing, and then to continue to act this way having just slipped by the judicial system is...well, it's nothing short of extremely arrogant, and quite disturbing.
Also, who are they to forgive this guy? Neither of them were raped, so how could they possibly act in place of someone who had actually experienced the event. Unfortunately, there's really not much that can be done about it, after all, the boy was under 18, and so the right to press charges rests on his parents. But you sort of have to wonder, what the Hell were they thinking?
However, I'm not surprised to see that there are those here who are conversing about desensitization. Unfortunately, this kind of thing seems to be happening more and more frequently, and I can definitely understand not really wanted to give a damn about it after a while. You just sort of end up not caring because a) it's pretty depressing, and b)it's easier for us as people to leave stress for things we actually have an effect on. But still...what the Hell?!

This human waste deserves nothing more, and should get nothing less, than to be purged from the world by gillotine or fireing squad
In my opinion, he deserves worse. But at the same time, this isn't healthy human behavior, so you kind of have to wonder if there are other factors involved.
EDIT:
What ever happened to trying a person as an adult if the crime was heinous enough? You never really hear about that kind of thing anymore. Just about how all these criminals are "children" and "don't fully understand that they did something wrong". Honestly, I'm surprised no one in the judicial system hasn't called "bullshit" yet...well, maybe not surprised.
