And One for the I Can't Believe It File

She was fifteen, and in a mental institution. The authorities there were reportedly concerned that she might be sexually assaulted while in their care. There solution, sterilize her! Let's forget for a moment the fact that this constitutes a horrendous assault by people charged with her care. The logic behind their stated reasons absolutely baffles me. First was the concept that she would need to be protected from sexual assault while in a medical facility. Another is the fact that these fools felt that by making her sterile that this would provide any protection for her whatsoever. I have yet to hear of a rape where the intention was to impregnate the girl, thereby providing conclusive evidence as to who had done it. In fact, now that she was sterile, the odds of being assaulted be a staff member would actually go up. Once sterile, after a short time there would be no evidence to prove who had assaulted her. So their reasons for committing this crime don't make any sense at all. This case should involve a lot more than a simply lawsuit. It is also a police matter and as such I fail to understand why they are not involved.
