This is a controversial subject - but is in fact a reality that has been existing for years. There are many who are on opposite sides, but no doubt this is seemingly going to be challenged.
Sad to say, rape continues and also incest. There are simply monsters in the world. We are parents, grandparents, siblings, and family period. What are your thoughts?
Though we all differ in our opinions on this, if you share, be civil. (Please)
