I think the article misses the point of greater social ills that lead to many ( not all) off the situations presented. Where are the parents? Where is the rage at the absence of parents? All I got out of it was "victim, helpless, victim, victim"... which is some cases is totally appropriate, but I think missing the bigger point.

Young girls seeking out attention from older boys/men is typical documented behavior in reaction to father abandonment. No 11 year old girl raised in an emotionally healthy environment is going to need an older boy friend. Many of the situations presented are typical in dysfunctional, latch key, unsupervised environments. Some parents are physically present, but preoccupied, or even support things like attention from older men, enhanced sexuality for young girls etc.

I'd like to see the rage at a culture that makes it OK for parents to have a "me first" attitude, rage at a culture that sexualizes young girls, rage at parental abandonment etc.

I'm not going to go into my backstory, let's just say been there, done that and supporting the concept of being victimized is short sighted.
