I'm glad the cops are now involved, and not some news story of some vigilante massacre of an entire family
hopefully a sensible outcome can emerge. Whilst it's people's gut instincts to express their desire to inflict physical harm on the child, vengeance is hardly the best policy to follow.
They both need medical help. Dusty probably needs a permanent holiday

You make a very valid point
BUT
while there's a difference between wishing violence on someone and being responsible for violence on someone, anyone that facilitates said violence is at least partly responsible.
This kid will be locked up in a place where for some reason rape is acceptable. He'll have no job prospects when he gets out and will have spent his formative years in a place filled with violence and sexual abuse.
Dusty will be ok with the right amount of love and I'm sure there are plenty of willing families he could join.
