      I clicked the link into this thread and thought, “it’s gotta be India”, then, “that’s not fair, rape happens all over the globe, even to children”. It was India.

        I think there are clues in the title … it was nothing like : “A priest culprit of assaulting dozens of children over many decades” …

          Yeah, actually, the bash head with rock to hide identity would have given away that it wasn’t likely a western country (where bashed in head guarantees murder investigation and DNA testing is likely). “Private watchman” was another hint. As was “bid”. Written by someone who knows the language well but not natively.

    It wasn’t a failed rape bid. It was a failed rape attempt. There wasn’t an auction like I was thinking based on what I read in the title.

      Just non native English speaking translation. A bid can meet an attempt, like a bid for re election.

      One of the meanings of ‘bid’ is to attempt to achieve something

      e.g. “In a bid to escape, he jumped down the waterfall”

      Doesn’t mean money is involved. But I agree it’s a poor choice of phrase for this headline.

      And either way, very bad news =(

      Yeah I’m not sure what “rape bid” is even supposed to mean, in any context. Doesn’t “bid” imply something that can be accepted?

        Don’t worry, someone made a whole page about bid. It’s actually kind of crazy how in-depth it goes, so search for [Subject-Verb], I think that’s the relevant bit.

        … Also, did you know you can highlight text and paste in a link and it formats everything for you??? Bless.

    What the hell. People like that belong in an asylum, prison. Whatever it is.

    I’m so sorry for the little girl and her family.
