What the Hell?

A little girl in Phoenix is lured to a shed with the promise of chewing gum. The boy who lures her there rapes her along with 3 other boys. If that isn't the most horrible thing you have ever heard it does get worse. The girl's parents blame her for what happened and say she has brought shame on the family. The girl is now with child protective services.
I just can't seem to even begin to understand how horrible people can be. How can parents toss their little girl away with such little regard at the time she needs them so much? How is this type of thing not considered a hate crime on its own. After all it is simply that she is female that she is being treated this way.
My only hope is that she ends up being placed with a family that will love and take care of her and give her the opportunity to heal from the trama she has endured, first by her attackers and then by her family.
