Talk:Lina Medina

Semi-protected edit request on 31 May 2020

She was actually raped by an 35 year old man. She was playing hide and seek looking for her friend in an alley when she was raped. She was threatened to keep quiet. 2600:8800:3080:3EE8:3C72:9746:243E:BD6C (talk) 21:07, 31 May 2020 (UTC)

Concern about how this pregnancy is discussed

In this piece, it reads as though precocious puberty was the cause of this child’s pregnancy. Yes there is a sentence in one section about the father being held and then released on suspicion of child abuse. However, in the effort to be “just the facts” there is an absurd lacunae that ends up colluding with the abuse she clearly suffered. The cause of the pregnancy was child sexual abuse, not precocious puberty. 24.151.78.219 (talk) 14:10, 27 November 2021 (UTC)

Rape, not precocious puberty

Lina Medina was a victim of sexual abuse. This article claiming that she was just experience "precocious puberty" is covering up what really happened to her, and is grossly insensitive towards both children's and women's rights and issues. Wikipedia is a source used by many people, and allowing such a dangerous thing to be promoted and misconstrued can result in potential abusers being misinformed and justifying their actions. "Well it's not rape, it's precocious puberty! I can assault children." 24.184.101.129 (talk) 13:38, 6 December 2021 (UTC)

Yes, but the thing is, even though that's probably the case, there doesn't seem to be any actual sources reporting that she was sexually abused, so saying that she was would technically be speculation, which isn't allowed under Wikipedia's guidelines. If there's a reliable source that you can point to that says that she was sexually abused, feel free to list it here. 70.124.147.243 (talk) 03:54, 29 December 2021 (UTC)

Ethnicity or race

Is she native American or metizo or Creole?--Kaiyr (talk) 12:28, 26 April 2022 (UTC)

She was not a woman. She was a girl.

5 years old can not accurately be described as a "woman". Please correct this. 142.113.79.223 (talk) 21:31, 7 August 2022 (UTC)

She is a woman and is currently 88 years old. She is notable for an event that occurred when she was a girl. EvergreenFir (talk) 21:40, 7 August 2022 (UTC)
