This is heartbreaking. I'm surprised out of all of the countries listed, South Africa has the best child abuse policies, due to the scandals reported. Thanks for the article.

Between the green stalks of the corn plants, the shining tin roof of the house of Esther's alleged rapist can be seen. As her daughter chuckled and cooed nearby, Emma said the man's wealthy mother taunted her, saying she had paid off everyone in Kenya's notoriously corrupt judiciary and the case would never be resolved.

"She said, 'My son will never go to jail because of your retarded daughter.' ... She says she will take our land to pay for their costs," Emma said quietly.

That's quite evil and I try not to use the word evil lightly.
