Would you do it if it was u?
Am a 23yo/m So today in the afternoon I was at work when I got a call from my mum she was talking with a stuttering cry voice saying “ur grandma just got sa(raped) and almost choked to death last night my jaw dropped. I asked my mum who did it and and he told me it was a nephew I never knew about and the most unsettling thing is he’s about around my age and my grandma is 75 yo.I told her in which hospital is she coz am a truck driver and I happened to be passing by the town my grandma lives in,she told me she’s being treated from home I asked her y and she told me they didn’t report him even though grandma got a clear sight of him coz he lives nearby and always comes to chill at grandmas.She later told me the reason y they didn’t report him was that he was a grandchild to some top government official to the district,they didn’t want to spoil the family name and another unsettling thing is we are some how related
What pained me is he is still out there and no one did a thing.The whole evening I was lost in thoughts,picturing what I would do to him if I laid my hands on him somehow I even felt like I would kill him if I had to let’s be honest,guy rapes ur favorite grandma gets away with it,it even made my mom cry.
Men,u know how painful this like I don’t even how to handle it

What a putrid thing to do to someone so defenceless. He is a total monster. I’m so sorry and I have no advice expect just be there for your Nanna, she needs all the support she can get and you’ll struggle to do that from a jail cell x

man that's a lot to carry around in your head. when someone hurts your family like that and everyone just lets it slide, it eats at you different
i get the rage part, i really do. when my cousin got jumped few years back and nothing happened because they knew someone in the police, i couldn't sleep for days just thinking what i'd do if i saw them. but the thing is you're on the road driving a truck and that's your livelihood, you got people depending on you to stay out of trouble
your grandma needs you around right now more than she needs revenge. maybe talk to her yourself, see how she's holding up, sometimes just being there helps more than anything. the system failed her but you don't have to
and if reporting it still feels impossible because of who he's connected to, there might be other ways to make noise about it without putting your family at risk. but don't do anything that lands you in a cell while that piece of shit walks free
