Comments on: Day Care Accusation: Is Khemwatie Bedessie Innocent? http://debbienathan.com/2007/06/day-care-accusation-the-khemwatie-bedessie-case/ Sex pol, borders, Mexico, Yiddish, my camera Sat, 10 Dec 2011 20:24:40 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.3 By: Stuart Shaw http://debbienathan.com/2007/06/day-care-accusation-the-khemwatie-bedessie-case/comment-page-1/#comment-2164 Stuart Shaw Thu, 02 Aug 2007 03:28:55 +0000 http://debbienathan.com/2007/06/25/day-care-accusation-the-khemwatie-bedessie-case/#comment-2164 This story caught my eye in the New York times and I see it is copied in many other papers and listed as the "Number One" story. My first thought was "How does a 38 year old woman RAPE a four year old boy." The method is not even hinted at in the stories. With a four year old boy's equipment, there are not many options. Aren't we to know or is the act somehow so repellant that it is too much for our delicate sensibilites. Yet, if a W0MAN was raped, the details might be related in the most graphic way. Our sensibilities seem strong enough to handle women being raped. By not being told the details, we are not able to pass judgement on what seems like a highly doubtful charge. Then we find out that there is no evidence except the "confession" of a very vunerable and helpless woman who apparently does not even speak English well who confessed after TALKING TO THE POLICE. Then the question of whether any kind of crime occurred becomes major. One of the major pieces of evidence that makes it an open and shut case in the press, is that she took the boy to the bathroom THREE TIMES. I have taken care of children and there special times for special kids that three times would not nearly be enough. Then there is a rash on his bottom. Did the cops, the DA, and the Judge ever take care of their young kids (or is that too messy for a man?) Do they know why all that baby powder is sold. (to cover up rape?) Then the Judge wouldn't allow the evidence to be presented relating to the falseness of the confession. In fact the Judge made the statement according to the New York Times, that"he was astonished that some parents had testified on Ms. Bedessie's behalf in light of the allegations. Apparently the Judge feels that allegations equal guilt. I expect him to get a Federal Judgeship from Bush so that he can try bigger cases regarding immigrants and other people without legal resources. The support for the accused prompts the judge to wonder "has society lost every grasp of our moral compass?" If the judge's handling of the case is allowed to stand, we might well ask that. The judge's behavior, decisions and sentencing in this case smells like week old fish. One thing the detectives, prosecutor and judge have right. They are going to get a lot of publicity and credit for dealing harshly with an accused woman rapist. It doesn't really matter if the accused is guilty or even if a crime took place. They know that all the media will shout "woman rapist" without a comment on the facts or the horrible way that justice is being handled. As a society, we have done quite a bit of this and with great fanfare, meted out long punishment. When the accused are eventually found not quilty, it is hard to find a mention of it in the press. Thank God for the NCRJ and I applaud them for their work. This story caught my eye in the New York times and I see it is copied in many other papers and listed as the “Number One” story.

I am not of the racial origin of the victim. I am, though, familiar with the behaviors of Guyanese in all parts of the country. I feel that she was railroaded. Surprisingly, the name of the place where she worked seems to be Hindu.They are usually very vocal in their defense of their constituents. Seems that she is of the low caste(Dalit), uneducated and has been sacrificed. The State should pass the bill. I am Guyanese. I am not of the racial origin of the victim.

In my youth a young relative had stated that she had seen me steal some coins from a jar. I was immediately searched and I had no coins in my pockets only paper currency which I had earned for some work that I had done at a nearby home. In fact on my mother's suggestion I had gone to visit those relatives and I had given the three adults some money as they were in dire need. Attendantly, I do realise that young children are very perceptive and they provide answers that they think that are desired of them. I always do remember the Mc Martin event.
