“The young woman had kept the abuses secret for months...”
A 12 year old girl is not a “young woman”. Are they trying to make the crime seem less heinous’?
NOT EVEN A TEENAGER!!!
In Mexico and South America 15 year olds are considered “Women”. Hence the Catholic Quincenera blessing. (My niece is half Mexican, and 100% hilarious) I don’t agree with it, but it is a cultural fact.
“A 12 year old girl is not a young woman.”
She is now.
