Omaha police searching for 12-year-old girl who may be with much older man

I am frustrated. The harshest words Omaha media has said about the "relationship" between the missing 12 year old Paw Ku, and a 23 year old gang member so far:

“The parents don't approve of this relationship, and I don't believe even his parents approve of this relationship"

Approve? Isn't this ILLEGAL? WTH is going on here?

The Special Victims Unit at OPD is concerned with her well-being because of her age, but do not consider her to be in immediate danger https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DT3FfabU0AA2J1k.jpgJ

She's been missing since January 9th, with this man.. nothing to see here, folks.

For some reason, this (first photo below) was the only picture Omaha Police used when asking for help. They were berated for it and are now using one more. Check out the Facebook comments section here, everyone is asking questions about why they used such a bad photo, and why it took Police so long to alert the public, among other things... including the fact that the girl's Facebook page was filled with pictures of her looking sexualized and much older https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DT1jIzdUQAEx5lG.jpg, with tons of comments from older men about her appearance. Once people started to mention this on the OPD FB page, the comments started being deleted.

No one has mentioned the word "pedophilia", not once. No one has mentioned grooming, or the illegality of this man having "relationship with a 12 year old girl.

New details:

"After the girl's parents filed a protection order to keep Eh Ther Ger away from their daughter she went missing. Paw Htee Ku's father went to her boyfriend’s home. Eh Ther Ger originally told him that Paw Htee Ku wasn’t there. After Paw Tee Ku's father looked in the house, he found his daughter hiding inside. She has since gone missing again." http://www.wowt.com/content/news/Police-Missing-12-year-old-believed-to-be-with-23-year-old-470017743.html

?The brother says she planned to leave Omaha: http://www.wowt.com/content/news/Police-Missing-12-year-old-believed-to-be-with-23-year-old-470017743.html (video is to the right of main video, there is no article to link to) Meanwhile, the OPD said they believe she is still in Omaha.

According to FB comments, local news spent one minute covering her disappearance, then 10 minutes of weather.

Because it's not pedophilia. She's underage, yes. That is not what pedophilia is.

Apparently the "boyfriend" has a restraining order against for sexual assault against her. Is sex between a 12 year old and a 23 year old NOT pedophilia? Please explain.

HarveyKlinger ago

Technically, no it is not pedophilia. The legal definition of pedophilia is an attraction to pre-pubescent children. Puberty generally starts in children around 10 years old so pedophilia is attraction toe kids younger than that, meaning up to 9-ish.

We are both in agreement that it's sick as fuck. But at this point, it's just a matter of having sex with a minor.

Per Wikipedia:

The age at which puberty begins varies between individuals; usually, puberty begins between 10 and 13 years of age.

Why didn't you quote the OTHER part from Wikipedia that stated, "Although girls typically begin the process of puberty at age 10 or 11..." way up at the top. I won't get into the fact that kids seem to be hitting puberty younger and younger.

I also stated the LEGAL definition. In court, there is no test to see if the victim has hit puberty yet. They don't bring a doctor to verify one way or the other so they typically pick 9 or 10. But either way, as I stated, the accepted age of the start of puberty is 10 or 11, the girl is 12. STILL not pedophilia.

Oh for fuck's sake.

HarveyKlinger ago

You specifically asked why pedophilia wasn't mentioned. I gave you the legit answer.

Pedophilia is an attraction to PRE-pubescent kids. If she's having "consensual" sex, she's obviously hit puberty. Age isn't even factored in when this goes to court.

TrendyCantina ago

The American Heritage Dictionary defines pedophilia as: The act or fantasy on the part of an adult of engaging in sexual activity with a child or children. The children affected by pedophilia are prepubescent boys and girls (13 years old or younger). When post-pubescent teenagers are involved, the proper term is ephebophilia which is not criminal under circumstances where the participants are of the same age or where the persons have each reached the age of consent.

You asked, I gave a serious answer. From time to time I have to deal with this shit for work. I'm just giving you the definition that is used in court that we must abide by.

A pedophile is a person who has a sustained sexual orientation toward children, generally aged 13 or younger,

So I wonder how the courts justify taking 4 years off the age set by science?
