f you thought Brock Turner and the father were terrible excuses for that male species, a?father and son allegedly sexually assaulted a women together at?Illinois State University’s two-day?orientation July 19. You will need to consider one minute to scream into your pillow and think about how nasty some people actually are.?Shawn Childs Sr., the daddy, allegedly drugged a lady on campus, and then his son, Shawn Childs Jr. (they ought to get his and his towels imprisonment) allegedly raped her not once, but twice.
According to First Assistant State’s Attorney Adam Ghrist, the victim claimed Childs Sr. visited buy beer for that group, and she or he saw him put something in her own drink?before?she consumed it. She started to feel sick and returned to her room to lay down. Childs Jr. reportedly followed her and raped her twice.
The next morning, she reported the?incident to police and both men were arrested. The daddy had?22 ecstasy pills in his pocket when he was arrested, and his son admitted to police that the victim was “messed up” as he found her in her room. The father has been charged with?having a controlled substance with intent to deliver and his son with four counts of sexual assault. It’s a pretty fucked up situation throughout.

ISU’s orientation, or “Preview” event because they refer to it as, is generally a huge success, ISU Chief of Staff Jay Groves said, there has not been every other criminal behavior. He added, “[The incident] has nothing related to mischief and everything to do with terrible criminal behavior on the part of adults.” The parents remain in different dorms?than the new students, which means this shouldn’t have happened on a lot of levels.
Of course, the victim blaming has commenced on social networking, with people suggesting the victim shouldn’t have consumed the drink after seeing someone put an incentive. And yes, we need to teach women how to stand the fuck up for themselves and not be embarrassed to ask for another drink when they think it has been messed with, because it’s not as simple as it sounds.?Peer pressure is real in most cases, just in general, whenever a woman speaks up for herself, she runs into pushback. Whether it’s a college party, a work event, or perhaps a date, it is not as simple as “well, why did she still drink it?” And, you need to observe that sometimes you do not realize something was suspicious before you appreciate everyday it later.

But regardless of what happened, it’s not her fault. How about teaching grown men they shouldn’t put things in women’s drinks (looking at you, Childs Sr.) or follow a wasted woman to her dorm room?to fuck her without her consent (looking at you, Childs Jr.)?
It’s not only “adults behaving badly,” because the university stated. Sure, Childs Sr. allegedly behaved badly and thus did his son, but it’s the west, especially campus culture, that behaves badly by not taking rape culture seriously or taking real steps to avoid it. Let’s say at this orientation there was a lecture about rape culture and being respectful and responsible for how you behave all the time? It’s time for everyone to get with the program.
