  Edit : After reading the article :
  Agra, Uttar Pradesh, India
- I clicked the link into this thread and thought, "it's gotta be India", then, "that's not fair, rape happens all over the globe, even to children". It was India.
  
  I think there are clues in the title ... it was nothing like : "A priest culprit of assaulting dozens of children over many decades" ...
- lmao my first reaction was "Weird, the title doesn't say India in it."
Pretty awful stories coming out of India lately...
- India has a large popultion and Uttar Pradesh is an ultra right wing racist state that simps for Modi and the BJP. This has been going on there for quite a while. It's not a new thing.
- Always have been.
- Similar stories aren't new in India, at the same time if we were to take a sample of one billion people from richer countries I'm pretty sure we would be able to find just as many similar stories, they would just come from different countries.
  
  I highly doubt that. It’s a cultural thing, not a numbers issue.
  
  I don't see it being similar. If you look at certain religious fanatic ~~countries~~ places, there would be stories with the offender just walking away and suffering no consequences. And for the more developed ones, this one by A_A gives a good outline
- OP spam posts every negative story they find about India. They are not a healthy person.
  
  I think they're from Uttar Pradesh
It wasn't a failed rape bid. It was a failed rape attempt. There wasn't an auction like I was thinking based on what I read in the title.
- Just non native English speaking translation. A bid can meet an attempt, like a bid for re election.
- One of the meanings of 'bid' is to attempt to achieve something
  
  e.g. "In a bid to escape, he jumped down the waterfall"
  
  Doesn't mean money is involved. But I agree it's a poor choice of phrase for this headline.
  
  And either way, very bad news =(
- Yeah I'm not sure what "rape bid" is even supposed to mean, in any context. Doesn't "bid" imply something that can be accepted?
  
  Don't worry, someone made a whole page about bid. It's actually kind of crazy how in-depth it goes, so search for [Subject-Verb], I think that's the relevant bit.
  
  ... Also, did you know you can highlight text and paste in a link and it formats everything for you??? Bless.
- I think it’s more of a translation issue.
What the hell. People like that belong in an asylum, prison. Whatever it is.

I’m so sorry for the little girl and her family.
- They don’t belong on Earth.
- A stainless steel rapist masticator?
