Or the pedo rapist teenager was just a sadistic sociopath, some people are born that way
Yes, most likely. First of all, he probably is a peadophile. Their sexual interest in kids comes to the surface during puberty. But not every peadophile becomes a rapist. So, it looks like that he may be a psychopath. However, even though some percentage of people are born with genes of a sociopath or a psychopath it doesn't necessarily mean they will turn into a serial killer, a murderer, a rapist or simply a criminal. It apparently depends on their upbringing - whether they had a good childhood or a bad one.
Watching some hardcore, violent p0rn on the internet could be a factor too to some extent (I'm writing this based on a documentary about the impact the present day pornography has on young people).
Fatherless sons are a danger to any society
Oh, come on, this is ridiculous and simply unfair to men who grew up without fathers, imho. There would be far more peado psychos brutally raping little kids if that was the case, since majority of single parents in Poland always were and are - mothers.
Also, another thing - that rape on the little girl took place in the countryside. So, it's pretty unlikely that the boy was raised by a single mother. And even if he was, there would be usually his grandfather or uncle in the picture, because in Polish villages families usually live close to each other or in the same house with older generations - so he would have a male role model.
Women in the Polish countryside rarely get a divorce. The husband would have to be a really violent, abusive drunk for a village woman to do that and she would probably divorce him only after 10 years or so of domestic violence (yeah, I know about such examples from real life).
So, I think that in Polish countryside it would be more likely for a boy like that to have an alcoholic (alcoholism is an even bigger problem in villages than in the cities, especially in poorer regions) and abusive father than being raised by a single mother.
Btw, what about motherless daughters raised by fathers only? Are they a danger to the society too? lol
Sadly, it doesn't seem to make a difference.
Based on what I know, it seems that it usually makes a big difference. I've watched a documentary about psychopathy from a scientific point of view and another one about why some men are more prone to violence (including rape, it was mainly about rapists, I think) than others. Rapists have some faulty chromosome as far as I remember, but it gets triggered due to bad childhood. The same with people with genes of a psychopath - their brains look different in MRI than of majority of people, but not all of them end up as serial killers, etc. I think that there may be cases when a kid has a normal home and ends up as a murderer, but I guess it may be due to the fact that the psychopath genes are too strong to overcome it by good childhood. I remember such case of a girl in the US who seemed to have a normal family (but you never really know) and yet she wanted to kill her little sister, I think, to check... what it's like to kill someone...
That's why Poland has such low rape stats both in terms of total and per capita
Considering that the more traditional the society is, the more unreported rape, sexual abuse and sexual harassment are, my guess is that it is also the case in case of Poland vs Germany and Sweden. I'm not saying that immigration from more traditional societies isn't a factor, but there's been a real problem in Poland for years with low sentences for rapists, rapists getting suspended sentences and walking the streets freely, the way the police and society reacts to rape victims or even kids being sexually abused (especially by priests, since often the clergy are "holy cows" here). Due to all of this I think that it may be harder for both adults and kids to report rape, sexual abuse and sexual harassment. I don't know about Germany, but I remember reading that in Sweden the likelihood of reporting rape increased over the years.
@Lenka, I was wondering about where were the girl's parents during all this time too and how this boy ended up with their daughter...
