Imagine going through puberty and not being able to mentally comprehend, at all, what was happening? Being in pain and discomfort for no reason at all.
Forget about the whole "to stop molestation" excuses, cause that was probably just one thrown together to try and get the media hounds off their back for doing this. Hell, Nancy Grace last night spent an hour repeating "They gave a nine year old a hysterectomy!"
Of course, when a voice of reason came on, talking about a grandmother who had a mentally and physically disabled, bedridden child going through puberty, having cramps, menstrating, and how they cannot take pills and hormones to stop these from happening because the side effects are amplified by her condition (Leg clots, bone density issues, etc.) Nancy Grace's show mysterously has technical problems and commercials cut in twice during the speech, and once ever 30 seconds after they just came back.
It is for the best of the child. She cannot understand what's happening, and never will be able to. There is no reason for her to go through the discomfort and pain.
