Child rape in Africa in mistaken belief it'll cure Aids?

I am copying a petition to y/a hoping that some of you will sign it. Babies as young as nine months old are being gang raped in the stuoid belief that it will cure Aids. The younger the better as it is supposed to be more potent the younger they arehttp://www.gopetition.com/online/7221.ht...

this can be only one word to describe this: and that is WHAT??!
after reading this i am literately in utter disbelief.
although i am glad Diana that you have gone as far as this to highlight this terrible issue. its sick and disgusting that young, innocent babies are raped, all because the morons who do this believe it will cure AIDS. as funny and laughable as this may sound, it is in fact appalling and all the more horrible, sad and tragic. i've never heard anything as stupid and insane as this for quite some time, until now that is. who, in their right mind would be revolting and evil enough to treat babies- not 5 year olds, teenagers or 4 year olds but BABIES for heaven's sake like this??!

and for people to even say it is some kind of ritual or tradition, frankly takes the p***. though i must say well done to Di, for letting us know about this. it is about time those people were held accountable for their despicable actions. better still, when caught they should rot in hell in prison.

Urban Legend probably - http://www.snopes.com

Actually they are as young as a few months old. Which is absolutely horrifying.

Lets hope it is an Urban legend however I did sign it.

I am not saying that it doesn't happen, but that petition is too broad. Where in Africa is this taking place? Africa is a huge Continent with thousands of ethnicities and cultures. That accusation is just too general to say it is widespread.

I have signed your petition. I hope others soon follow cause that is the most inhumane thing I have ever heard off. x

I have seen reports on the news about this and its sickening.

I have heard of this before. I can't believe that they are so stupid. They are just infecting the little children. Its sick.

i hope it is a rumor but i signed it anyway!

Nonsense. These guys are pedophiles and throwing out some lame excuse for their behavior.

Sickening, but look at what mankind has done in the pirsuit of cures. millions of human beings have been killed in terrible ways just to see how gases work, doing it now in N.Korea, War time prisoners used as guinea pigs with sickening acts. Its always been here and always will be.
