More on the case of a Liberian girl who was raped by fellow immigrants in Arizona

In an update on this earlier story, the parents of the 8-year old girl who was gang raped by 4 other young boys have been charged with abuse themselves; seven counts total. This whole article in the Arizona Republic tells quite a bit of history about how Liberia developed a rape culture during the years of its civil war, and how the girl's own parents were negligent yet simultaneously violent towards their own offspring. Now, they too are facing charges for their own offenses.
I hope they get deported after any jail time they'll hopefully serve, and the girl can continue living away from them. This is justice that Rifqa Bary, on the other hand, may sadly not get.
