Kids sure grow up fast nowadays, don't they?

[markw]

I'm waiting for more details on this one but it sure raises questions

I'm not sure what they are charged with is even biologically possible. At that age I didn't have any interest in girls much less I doubt I had the ability to rise to the occasion if I were.

In any case, ya gotta wonder where they pick up the concept of this act.

Yeah, it's biologically possible.

You never had a crush on a girl back around fourth grade? I know that I did. We didn't have cable or anything, though, and my parents were quite protective...so I had no concept of that stuff.

I think I first started liking girls around 4th or 5th grade. But then it was just wanting to kiss them and hold their hand or something. I don't think I had any kind of sexual knowledge until junior high or so.

Ya know your old when your idea of porno when you were a kid was the sears catalog for the womens bra/underwear section.

1-Hold the parents accountable.
2-Find out where the breakdown was that lead these kids to do something like this.
3-Turn the girl's dad/brothers lose on the kids.

Just when I thought this world couldn't get any more f'd up.
I just want to know where an 8 year old would even get the idea to do something like this, much less try.

Another reason I'm glad I don't have kids.

Well well. I am 2 score, college ed'd, and teach elem sch. I believe in communication as the means to preventing/solving most problems. Family has, is, and will always be the nucleus of society. However, when investigated and the parents are found guilty of some level of neglect/abuse...they should be...let me think...burned at the stake. No, I take that back. They should be put to death by crucifiction which history/investigation shows is most likely the most painful/brutal death ever. No, I'm not a religious man but I know my history on many subjects. Yep, good ol' crucifiction.

Children at those ages, they have no real cognitive meaning of the harm done. It's an act/behavior without regard to consequence. These are second/third grade kids which is the gr level I teach. Amazing.

Unfortunately, just turn on the TV or listen to the news! Todays age makes it impossible to filter out everything bad from your our childrens world. Violence can be found in all of today's media. I do believe some blame should fall on the parents, however these young boys acted as a group and in all likelihood wouldn't of acted on their own? At least I hope so!

Where do you learn all the bad things in the world?

The news.

All they do is report garbage, and all the parents these days watch it, knowing what else is out there to ruin their perfect life. Not only to they report garbage, but they mislead almost everyone with the garbage they report.

Example: A few months ago, a polish man was stun-gunned to death at the Vancouver International Airport. He didn't speak any English, and had been stuck there for over 10 hours trying to meet with his mother. He became violent and started throwing unanimous objects around. He didn't hurt anyone, but he was really frustrated. There happened to be someone in the airport with a camera near by when he became violent, so he started recording.

Now, the video shown on the news was cut, to make it look like the cops zapped him, then just stood there to watch him die. The REAL video was put up on youtube, showing that the cops followed protocol, and tried many times to revive the man. He happened to have a heart condition (irregular heart beat) that caused him to die.

I guess you're a little older than me but not by much. While the Sears catalouge wasn't quite porn , it was certainly a close second and much more readily available. I'm 42.

I remember those days.....My mom was still wondering why i kept all those catalogs in my bedroom.

You don't think she knew? She knew.

For really heinous stuff like this, I’d rather have

1) A public Caning

Or

2) A good old fashion stoning

 

[jeffsg4mac]

What do you want to bet that the two boys had access to movies and/or online adult content and the parents either had no clue or did not care?
