Tulsa mom pleads guilty to allowing 12-year-old daughter to get pregnant by grown man - Lemmy.world

It was one of the most bizarre sex crimes in recent Tulsa history. Now it’s over, and both adults involved are headed to prison. The 12-year-old girl showed up a Hillcrest Hospital in midtown Tulsa in July 2021 in labor. The father-to-be apparently expected to walk out with the girl and their new bundle of joy. “They walked in just like any other couple would, excited to deliver their newborn child,” Tulsa Police Officer Danny Bean told FOX23 News in 2021. When the child, well below the age of consent, showed up to give birth, doctors immediately called Tulsa Police to report what was happening.

Everyone in this case is just stupid, and stupid people aren’t a threat to society, and putting these people in prison hurts the already-traumatized girl even further. She should be removed from the home and both adults should be liable for child support while also under a no-contact order until the child is 18 and can decide to continue it or not.

This probably doesn’t need to be said but Oklahoma is a shitty hellscape.

Sure, let’s just ignore all the rape because the defendants are stupid.

As you can see by reading my post, I did not ignore the sexual assault.

However, no one gains from these people being imprisoned and people who want others “punished” should not be in the room when adult decisions are being made.

A vengeance-based prison system is immoral to the point of being evil, and a sign of barbarism in the person advocating for it.

We imprison rapists to ensure they do not harm others.
Violent rapists are indeed some of the few people I do support prison (with heavy reforms) for. They tend to have crazy high recidivism rates and need rehabilitation before release.
