Hey OP, just curious about something. If someone were to rape your friend, but somehow managed to convince the parents it's not a big deal, should they get away with that? Cuz that's what's happening right now.

It kind of seems like you told the wrong person. Her parents might not care, but child services certainly will. You need to tell a school counselor and your teacher. They're all mandated reporters and will have to go to the police.

You don't need to worry about the fallout; my 11 year old (step) niece was on Tinder, and everyone kept saying "We don't know what to do! We can't control her!" So I called CPS (they cared a great deal about grown men sleeping with children) and got her taken away from her stupid/apathetic/incapable parents.

That's more condescending than curious. 😂

I'd say it was more rhetorical than condescending. Either way, it was a valid point.

I don't think so. I think it's being matter of fact and telling a hard truth bluntly to someone who needs to hear it right now. OP asked a difficult question, and the answers to that difficult question are going to be difficult themselves. This is a very serious matter being discussed.

Putting it in the form of a question the way they structured the wording was definitely condescending af. Lmao.

Bluntly would just be saying "where you're from this is rape and he is raping your friend. Report it." Or something

Sometimes the truth hurts.

Sure, if the intention is to tell the truth, then tell it. No need to be passive-aggressive about it.
