Woman feels guilty to give birth to second child after being raped by her brother, having first baby, at her age of 11

Hope the mother can come out of the trauma. :'(

A British brother has brought the greatest pain to her younger sister by raping her and making her pregnant when she was only 12. 

The victim, Tressa Middleton, 24, of Bathgate, Scotland, was raped by her 16-year-old brother at her age of just 11. She had a baby girl since then but she was forced to give her away after authorities found the shocking truth.

Tressa had suffered a deep depression and heroin addiction from the decision unit last year in October, she and her fiance Darren Young, 31, have their baby Arihanna. 

She treasures her second daughter so much and she understands that she should be happier than ever, but describes the experience has been bittersweet without her first daughter.

"I felt pure joy the moment Arihanna was born. There were times I thought I'd never have another baby, like it wasn't meant to be," said Tressa. "'But I also feel so guilty, because Arihanna is with me and my older daughter is not."

"She is still the first thing I think about every morning and the last thing I think about at night.

"I love her so much and I'll always be her mum. I can't be properly happy without her. It breaks my heart that Arihanna will grow up without knowing her big sister.

With the deep affection for her first child, the 24-year-old mom expects the two daughters meeting someday when they are older. She has kept pictures, handprints, clothes and a lock of her first baby at her home in Bathgate. 

"Arihanna will always know she has a big sister. I talk to her about it now, even though she can't understand. She'll never be a secret."

She described her two daughters were polar opposites: Arihanna is smiley and contented, while my other daughter was vocal and feisty. 

"I tell Arihanna that if her sister was here, they'd play games together. I joke Arihanna would follow her around and they'd probably annoy each other," she added. "I really hope that one day they can meet. It would mean the world to me."

Tressa treid her best to provide Arihanna a happy childhood since her mother, Tracey Tallons, struggled with drink and drug addiction when she was a toddler. She cried because couldn't sleep through parties which stretched into the early hours. 

And she was sexually abused by her bother since she was seven and four years later, she got pregnant after he raped her.

Tressa kept the dreadful details of her first daughter's conception secret until she told a social worker. A DNA test revealed indicated the dad of the baby and her brother was jailed in 2009 for four years. 

Her first was taken and she was told would be contacted once the little girl got adopted. Their last meeting was at the age of three of her daughter. 

"I didn't realise it was the last time I'd see her. She didn't recognise me and she was scared. I couldn't hug her, I had to stand back when I talked to her," she said. "The worst part was when she shouted for her mummy - but she meant her adoptive mum, not me."

She said she wasn't allowed to say "mummy loves you" to avoid confusion to the baby.

Tressa then sank into deep depression and used alcohol and drugs to numb the pain of losing her daughter. 

Luckily, she managed to get rid of drugs with the help of a counsellor and began to build a new life with Darren. The couple had their child, Tressa's second, in 2012.

The girl is now 11 and is aware she is adopted but Tressa wants to tell her the truth by her own self. 

"I hope her adopted parents don't tell her that I fell pregnant because Jason raped me. 

"I don't want her to read it in the paper, either. I think I should be the one to tell her. I want to explain everything to her, when she is old enough to understand.

"As for Arihanna, I'd prefer she didn't know the full details of my past."

LONDON (AP) — Elon Musk's social media platform X has pledged to crack down on hate and terrorist content in Britain, the country's media regulator said Friday.

Ofcom said X's public commitments include restricting access in the U.K. to accounts operated by or on behalf of terrorist groups that the country has banned.

The platform also promised to review suspected illegal terrorist and hate content within 24 hours on average, and to assess 85% of the material no more than 48 hours after users have flagged it, officials said.

A spokesperson for X in the U.K. did not respond to a request for comment.

In response to concerns from some civil society groups that X failed to follow up after illegal content was flagged by users, X will engage with experts on how to improve its reporting systems, Ofcom said. X will submit quarterly performance data over a 12-month period so the regular can compare its performance against these targets.

The regulator said there's evidence that terrorist content and illegal hate speech is “persisting” on social media sites and that it expects tech companies to take “firm action.”

“This is of particular importance in the U.K. following a number of recent hate motivated crimes suffered by the country’s Jewish community,” Oliver Griffiths, director of Ofcom's online safety group, said.

Britain’s Jewish community, which numbers about 300,000 people, has faced growing attacks online and in the streets, including a string of arson attacks and a double stabbing that have sparked fear and anger among Jews.

X and Musk's artificial intelligence chatbot Grok faced intensifying global scrutiny earlier this year over after Grok, which can be accessed through X, pumped out nonconsensual deepfake images.

Ofcom responded by launching an investigation into whether Grok failed to protect users from illegal content, which Griffiths said was ongoing.

The Grok controversy also resulted in European Union regulators targeting X over whether it has done enough to contain the spread of illegal content. French prosecutors, meanwhile, sought charges last week against Musk and X including denial of crimes against humanity.
