![From the Star Tribune: “The damage to Harper's body was so severe, we were not allowed to see her, hold her, or be with her body ever again," [her mother] said. "And then, months later, as the pews were removed from that church, more of her remains were found. We had to cremate our daughter a second time. Imagine receiving that
phone call. And then tell me, what is this gun for? Hunting?
There are other tools. Home defense? There are other tools.
What is this one for?"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2yhglxsi2owchryafic2gmr3/bafkreigo5t6pjbjhqjffbrx4rif5nmmg7le4rno7qnz2svqgx3g74kitky)
![Media who are writing about the Jeffrey Epstein case, please watch for these words:
"Underage woman" - There is no such thing. An underage woman is a child.
"Child Prostitute" — Children can NOT consent.
They are rape victims, sexual assault victims, or survivors.
"Sex with [minors, underage women, or etcetera.]" — It's rape. Call it rape.
"Non-consensual sex" is polite weasel-wording for
"rape," and rapists do NOT deserve your politeness. Their victims deserve validation of what they have been through.
Thank you.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:yhwyp5hu4xna5vvz5b6ahtya/bafkreid6hl7tqk3zyyr4y36hjydjf4cmrwzh2x2ulfkfalz35lapaxjgea)
