      Hope the man responsible for this hangs by his thumbs. No child should be delivering children at her age.

            What a shame to have your childhood taken from you at such a young age. My heart goes out to her and her family, and I hope that justice prevails for them.

                Animals like this should be eliminated....no matter how, it should long and painful...like the pain they cause. This sort of abuse is so devastating....it colors the outcome of your entire life. No child can emotionally or mentally deal with rape let alone the obvious result, in this case. Personally, I'd start out with removing small body parts.... and making the perpetrator eat them....slowly devour themselves til they die. I harbor a small amount of rage....

                  First of all I would like to agree with everyone. All rapists should be tortured beyond belief and then killed. I hope this child will be okay and that the baby will stay healthy. There is more to the story. Is this part of their custom? Was the man responsible a member of their tribe? Or was he an outsider? The article said that the tribe has had contact with other people. I would like to know more.

                    Culture or not, this is down right wrong..

                    We need to wake up..These poor children are being robbed of their childhood becasue men cant control their danm dicks!!! Its sick !!! I have a 9 yr old and I cried until I had no more tears, I held my child and tried to think, "WHO?WHY?And HOW could someone hurt somethign so precious? With the mother of this child not speaking out on this, I comew to the conclusion that it was authorized by her. That poor child has just seen then beginning of men hurting her, she may be lost forever..

                      This type of thing happens in America (the great) as well...just not reported. Local news media around the country slide this type of news under our noses, for a day...and you never hear of it again.

                        This is the 21st Century. Culture or no Culture, I have never heard of Brazilian females having babies at the age of 9 years. This is not the rule. This is the exception. How many Brazilian females have babies at this age. very very few. Something is terribly wrong here, and with all the information,counselling, and charitable organizations that reach out to Native peoples, all around the world, there is no reason for an innocent little girl to be having a baby. Furthermore, I'd be interested in knowing if anyone counselled her about "abortion"...She was entitled to have one. Why, in the 21st century, should a "child be subjected to having a child"???? Especially as she was not the "wife" of the Man who impregnated her......

                          What a sick man who did this. I hope he gets the cruelest punishment. Now the the girl has to live the rest of her life with a mark of fear on her.

                              Sure you can all get ******ed off about this, guys are the devil, right? How come noone hears about this kind of stuff, though it happens all the time?

                              http://apnews.excite.com/article/20060707/D8IN5OUG0.html

                              Yeah, because it involves an older woman with younger boys. Middle school aged boys. Not much older than that girl in fact.. 10, 11, 12. Even though it's an AP article.. I don't see it on any major media outlets? So ****** your double standards. Oh and if I said we could cut her vagina out and rape her ass how many people would get ******ed off? Yet it's okay to say about guys... yeah whatever.

                                Authorities say she MAY HAVE BEEN raped?! She's 9! So they're saying she MAY HAVE HAD consensual sex at age 8. Am I the only one who doesn't feel safe with "authorities" in charge?

                                        I'm wondering why she didn't get an abortion. I understand that her family might not be able to afford it but even so, if my 9 year old daughter was pregnant I would pay for an abortion

                                            Who determined the girl is 9? The article says she has refused to speak, so I'm just curious as to how they arrived at that age.

                                            The article is vague and makes a lot of sensational statements; the one official it did specifically mention said

                                              I can just discribe this as:

                                              For a 9 year old girl to go out and find a partner

                                              Or if it was rape then the raper is ver sick.

                                                Well if she was raped then, well there has to be a way to prevent more people from getting raped. It is very sad if a woman or girl has to give birth against her will. If it was willing, then we can't do anything. Yes it is the woman's job to continue the human race, (Even if there's enough humans already in my oppinion.), but if she give's birth at a age that young, she could have damaged her body severly. I looked at this....

                                                  Yes, I looked for dangers. Just because she got her period, doesn't mean her body is ready.
