An adult at 11?

The President of Chile was surprised when an 11-year-old girl who was raped by her mother's boyfriend used "words showing depth and maturity when she said that, despite the pain caused by the man who raped her, she wanted to have and take care of her baby.”  Her mother also considers her an adult as the rapes over a two year period (from age 9 to 11) were, in the mother's words, consensual.  The victim also displayed her maturity, “It will be like having a doll in my arms. I’m going to love the baby very much, even though it comes from that man who hurt me.”

What manner of human beings are these people?
