19 MINORS VICTIMS OF FEMICIDE IN THE LAST SIX YEARS

Sexual violence is also a crime that ends up becoming femicide.

The number represents 13% of all of the 145 femicides in the country between January 2013 and December 2018.

According to data from the Observatorio de Género del Poder Judicial (Gender Observatory of the Judiciary) and the judicial yearbooks of the Organismo de Investigación Judicial (OIJ), of the 14 femicides, 19 were of women under 18 years of age or minors.

The triggers

Fiorella (Zapata’s granddaughter, which the La Nacion reports is based on) apparently had a relationship with a man, her killer, who was six years older than she.

The trigger in the majority of femicides where the victim is a minor is intrafamily violence, followed by the so-called “improper relations”.

The data reveals that in the 19 cases, eight of the femicides were committed by the father or stepfather and five by boyfriend (or girlfriend) of the victim. In three of the cases, the young girl’s mother was also the victim in the violence.

Four other femicides were perpetrated by unknown persons and in one of them, the murderer was known to the family, while another of the victims was killed by her brother-in-law.

(Un)Making Sylvia Likens: Towards a Theory of Femicide Narratives

http://vbn.aau.dk/en/activities/unmaking-sylvia-likens-towards-a-theory-of-femicide-narratives(3364c79f-22ce-406b-81f1-8f8fc0aefcd9).html

Looking Back On Indiana’s Most Infamous Crime, 50 Years Later

The torture and murder of 16-year-old Sylvia Likens instantly became the state’s most heinous crime. And while almost all of the participants are dead, the memory of what occurred—and how little they paid for it—certainly isn’t.

It was called the most terrible crime ever committed in Indiana, and half a century later, that title still holds. On October 26, 1965, police found Sylvia Likens’s emaciated corpse—covered with more than 150 wounds ranging from burns to cuts—sprawled on a filthy mattress in the Indianapolis home of 37-year-old Gertrude Baniszewski, mother of seven and the architect of the girl’s gruesome death.

The details of her demise, revealed at the 1966 trial, defy belief.

WHERE ARE THEY NOW?

Paula Baniszewski TEACHER

TIME SERVED: 7 YEARS

She changed her name to Paula Pace and wasn’t heard from again until 2012, when she was discovered living in the small Iowa hamlet of Marshalltown and working for the school system in the neighboring town of Conrad. Pace/Baniszewski, the mother of two grown sons, wasn’t charged with any additional crimes but was fired from her job for providing false information on her employee application.

Since then, she has once more slipped off the grid.

Stephanie Baniszewski TEACHER

TIME SERVED: NONE

The second-oldest of the Baniszewski children, Stephanie was 15 at the time of the crime. Though she admitted to participating to some degree in Sylvia’s abuse, she was granted a special trial and then all charges against her were dropped, likely because she agreed to turn state’s evidence against her family.

She reportedly changed her name, married, had children, worked as a teacher, and now lives in Florida.

Marie Baniszewski

TIME SERVED: NONE

Fourth-oldest of the Baniszewski children, Marie was 11 when the torture took place. No charges were brought against her. She testified during the trial, becoming the sole member of the Baniszewski family to cry on the stand during questioning. She reportedly still lives in Indiana.

Shirley Baniszewski

TIME SERVED: NONE

Fifth-oldest of the Baniszewski children, Shirley was the youngest of the family to actively participate in Sylvia’s torture. Although the 10-year-old heated a needle that was used to burn the victim, she was never charged with any crime.

Her whereabouts today are unknown.

James Baniszewski

TIME SERVED: NONE

Because he was only 8 at the time, James was not arrested nor called to testify, although some reports suggested he played a role in the crime.

Of all the Baniszewski offspring, the least is known about him.

Infanticide (or infant homicide) is the intentional killing of infants.

Parental infanticide researchers have found that mothers are far more likely than fathers to be the perpetrators of neonaticide[1] and slightly more likely to commit infanticide in general

Anthropologist Laila Williamson notes that "Infanticide has been practiced on every continent and by people on every level of cultural complexity, from hunter gatherers to high civilizations, including our own ancestors. Rather than being an exception, then, it has been the rule."[3]:61

Feinstein & Pelosi

Infanticide was known in China as early as the 3rd century BC, and, by the time of the Song dynasty (960–1279 AD), it was widespread in some provinces. Buddhist belief in transmigration allowed poor residents of the country to kill their newborn children if they felt unable to care for them, hoping that they would be reborn in better circumstances. Furthermore, some Chinese did not consider newborn children fully "human", and saw "life" beginning at some point after the sixth month after birth.

Gender-selected abortion, abandonment, and infanticide are illegal in present-day China.

Nevertheless, the US State Department, and the human rights organization Amnesty International have all declared that China's family planning programs, called the one child policy, contribute to infanticide.
