Child by Rape: Difference between revisions

== [[Live-Action TV]] ==

* ''[[Little House on the Prairie (TV series)|Little House on the Prairie]]'': The 1981 episode "Sylvia," where Albert's girlfriend (the 14-year-old title character) is impregnated by a masked rapist. (This is contrary to the vicious gossip Mrs. Olesen spreads about the girl, claiming that Albert had gotten her pregnant.) Later, as Caroline is counseling Albert on his declaration of love for Sylvia, she asks him what she might be thinking about becoming a mother and what she'll think about the child she is now forced to bear. The episode ends tragically, with Sylvia losing the baby in her final confrontation with the rapist; she suffers a critical injury after falling from a rickety ladder while trying to escape, causing her to miscarry, and she dies shortly afterward.

** A more villainous example is {{spoiler|Darius Parker, whose mother (Fin's ex wife) was [[Parental Incest|raped by her father]].}} While {{spoiler|he}} may not have known at the time, the fact that this is the reason {{spoiler|[[The Unfavorite|why his mother hated him so much that it's implied that she threatened him]]}} [[Freudian Excuse|could explain]] [[Sympathetic Murderer|what]] {{spoiler|[[Fate Worse Than Death|he]]}} [[Offing the Offspring|became]].

** Also, a good few cases deal with children by rape.
