Why are the sexual crimes against your own family get you only light punishment and no rehab?

The above is just one of many instances where this happens.

Obviously there is something really sick if a person r*pes their own niece or brother or grandkid.

    Hello D&D:

    Couple things..   Aberrations happen..  But, that's what they are - ABERRATIONS.  And, you can say rape.

    It's too commonplace to be called aberration.

    Hello again,

    I simply don't believe that WE, as a society, treat pedophiles nicely..  You do.  Fine.

    Since they are usually ignored or covered up, yes. I would not say it is nicely but often a rapist is someone you're dependent on, or others are dependent on, or love. I would not say rapists are treated 'nicely'. I am talking about domestic or familial rape so the perp is supposed to be your uncle, carer and someone who should look out for you like a son or daughter.
