Child sexual abuse and exploitation: 10 things a new study found

2019-01-20 11:39

The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) recently released a report on child sexual abuse and exploitation, based on a study of the approach which 40 countries took to such offences.

South Africa was one of the countries included in the study. It ranked 15th out of 40 for its measures to protect children against sexual abuse and exploitation, according to an index the EIU developed.

The study also made other observations on the scourge of abuse around the world.

Here are 10 things that emerged from the report, titled Out of the Shadows.

1) Just over half (21) of the 40 countries analysed have legal protections for boys within their child rape laws.

2) Sexual abuse is happening everywhere, regardless of a country's socio-economic status or its citizens' quality of life.

3) Sexual abuse is increasingly enabled by the internet but at the same time, an experimental internet program is "crawling" the web to find abusive and exploitative images of children to have them reported and removed.

4) Children with disabilities, those displaced through trafficking or forced migration, those living in care institutions and those who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender can be especially vulnerable.

5) At household and community level, chaotic lifestyles resulting from neglect, alcohol and substance abuse are linked to most forms of violence against and among children.

6) The absence of protective relationships and environments are factors that are often predictive of sexual violence against children across cultures.

7) Education (from pre-school upwards) for children and after-school programmes can have a shielding effect, but the increased mobility to school and back raises the risk of sexual abuse.

8) Patriarchal family structures and the association of manhood with heterosexual prowess are linked to violence against women and children.

9) Engaging in sexual activity in front of a child is banned in only 19 of the 40 countries.

10) Social stigmas associated with sexual violence against boys discourage formal reporting and are exacerbated by "macho" masculine norms, homophobia and fears of being viewed as feminine, vulnerable or helpless. Boys must also be taught the language of how to report sexual abuse.

Inside Mexico’s drug gangs who force members to eat the hearts of their victims

Inside the history of cannibalism in Mexican drug cartels, where teen enforcers are fed crack before feasting on the organs of their victims.

Mexico’s drug gangs are believed to be responsible for around 150,000 deaths that involve some of the most appalling torture and depravity imaginable.

But some barbaric factions of the gangs are believed to have even turned cannibal and actually eaten parts of their rivals.

And in a particularly twisted initiation ritual, young members of the Jalisco New Generation cartel were forced to eat the hearts of murder victims.

Local prosecutors claimed two teenagers, aged 16 and 17, remained unrepentant after they were drugged with crack then forced to eat human flesh by senior cartel bosses.

A similar event took place in 2015 when hopefuls of La Familia Michoacana were forced to eat their rivals after torturing them and cutting them up while alive.

Below we take a look at some of the main gangs that have terrorised Mexico since the inception of the state’s war on the cartels in 2006.

Los Zetas cocaine kingpin Heriberto Lazcano, who was killed in a shootout with Mexican Marines in 2012, was notorious for feeding victims to the lions and tigers he kept on his ranch.

But it was his practice of eating human flesh that thrust him into international headlines two years ago.

A reporter who spent time with him told El Blog del Narco, “After sentencing him (the victim) to death, he orders him to bathe, and even to shave his whole body and let him de-stress for two or three hours, even better sometimes he gave them a bottle of whisky to relax, then he ordered a very quick death so there is no adrenaline in the meat to prevent it getting bitter or hard.”

He would then devour the man’s buttock flesh in tamales after it had been cooked in lemon and served on toast.

The Los Zetas is considered one of the most dangerous of the cartels and has dealt in drug trafficking since its inception in 1999.

At this time it only operated as a wing of the Gulf Cartel but officially formed as a stand-alone rival group in 2010.

In 2017, a former leader of the gang, Marciano “Chano” Millan Vasquez, was jailed in San Antonio for 29 killings in Mexico while working for the group.

The most horrific was the brutal chopping to pieces of a six-year-old girl in front of her parents — a crime he believed would make them “remember him”.

Bomb in Syria's Afrin kills three: witnesses

2 MIN READ

ISTANBUL (Reuters) - A bomb in the northwest Syrian town of Afrin killed three civilians and wounded nine on a public bus, several witnesses told Reuters on Sunday.

The blast came on the anniversary of Operation Olive Branch, an air and ground assault launched by Turkey in 2018 on the mainly-Kurdish Afrin to drive out the Syrian Kurdish YPG, which it sees as an extension of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) that has waged an insurgency on Turkish soil since 1984.

No group has claimed responsibility for the attack.

It follows a blast on Wednesday in Manbij, a northern Syrian town controlled by a militia allied with U.S.-backed Kurdish forces, claimed by Islamic State, which killed two U.S. troops and two civilians working for the U.S. military.

Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan announced last month that his army would launch an operation against the YPG east of the Euphrates. U.S. President Donald Trump later announced a decision to pull out of Syria, alarming allied Kurdish leaders who run much of the north.

The Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), an umbrella group dominated by the YPG and Washington’s main Syrian partner in the fight against Islamic State, controls territory in northeast and eastern Syria, which makes up about a quarter of the country.

The U.S. decision to leave Syria led the Kurdish leaders to urge Russia and its ally Damascus to send forces to shield the border from the threat of the Turkish offensive.

Turkey’s state-owned Anadolu Agency said two bombs hit Afrin’s city center, one exploding on a bus and the second in a garbage container.

Madhya Pradesh BJP Leader Found Dead, Shivraj Chouhan Warns Congress

BJP leader Manoj Thackeray was found dead at Barwani in Madhya Pradesh

BARWANI, MADHYA PRADESH: Madhya Pradesh BJP leader Manoj Thackeray was found dead in an open field in Barwani today. He is the second BJP leader, who was murdered in less than a week in the state. Former Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan accused the Congress government of making the "death of BJP leaders one after another a cruel joke."

Mr Chouhan took to twitter this morning and shredded the Kamal Nath-led Congress government, over the law and order situation in the state.

"One after the other, the killing of BJP leaders is a serious matter. The state government is not taking it seriously and making a cruel joke of it. Popular BJP leader Manoj Thackeray was killed in broad daylight in the state home minister's backyard," Mr Chouhan tweeted.

"Criminals have become bold and law and order situation has crumbled under the present Congress government," said the former Chief Minister. The BJP will be forced to take to the streets if the criminals are not caught immediately, said Mr Chouhan.

"Mr Thackeray had gone out for his routine morning walk. A blood stained rock was found at the crime spot," senior police officials told NDTV.

The month-old Congress government in Madhya Pradesh has been facing severe criticism after a series of brazen murders in the last seven days. BJP leader and civic body chairman of Mandsaur, Prahlad Bandhwar, 50, was shot in full public view on Thursday. A day after the incident, Manish Bajrangi, a BJP worker was arrested in connection with the murder, from Rajasthan.

Shivraj Singh Chouhan said, the BJP will take to the streets if criminals are not caught soon

Chief Minister Kamal Nath told reporters, yesterday, that Mr Bandwar's son had named Manish Bajrangi, a local BJP worker, in the FIR. The police had claimed that dispute over a piece of land was behind the murder.

"Killing Prahlad Bandhwar over a paltry sum of Rs. 25,000 is unacceptable argument," tweeted Mr Chouhan, and said that there must be a "conspiracy" behind it. The former chief minister demanded a CBI inquiry.

"Criminals are roaming free and innocent people are being killed. Is this the 'change' the Congress promised during the election campaign?' said Mr Chouhan.

On the same day when Mr Bandhwar was killed, a second murder took place at a busy marketplace in Indore. Sandeep Agarwal, 45, a builder and local businessman was shot. His family alleged that there was an ongoing dispute with his business partners over payments.

As many as 30 suspects have been detained and are being questioned, said the police. "I spoke to senior police officers in Indore. The deputy inspector general assured me that the police will catch the accused soon. We have also directed them to ensure such cases are not repeated in future," said state home minister Bala Bachhan.
