From New York television station and CBS affiliate WCBSTV:
27 Arrests At High-Rise Where Child Was Gang Raped
Police raided a New Jersey public housing complex Thursday where officials say a 7-year-old girl was gang raped, and arrested 27 people on outstanding warrants.

Trenton Mayor Doug Palmer said the pre-dawn sweep of Rowan Towers was planned before the girl's attack. He said police hope the arrests will lead to tips that help them find those who assaulted the girl, otherwise the arrests were unrelated to the case.

"This is only the beginning," Palmer said. "We're not going to rest until that area is cleaned up so that decent people can live without the threat of fear and violence."

Police said the young victim's 15-year-old stepsister sold the girl to have sex with as many as seven men and boys at a party in a vacant apartment.

According to police, the teen told her sister to "let the boys do what they want."
Where are the parents. Where are the fathers. This is subhuman behavior -- makes Lord of the Flies look like a walk in the park. And this is not something that can be fixed by the police and courts -- this is a fundamental social problem that needs to be addressed on a house by house level. A lot of it is the easy availability of welfare and entitlement programs -- it removes the incentive to grow up. This is the legacy of 50 years of progressive liberal management of poverty...
