8th grade Girls Attack/Strip 11-Year-Old Boy

[Lead Herring]

snip

Do you at least agree with the child pornography charges a few people are calling for? That isn't really subjective. They recorded and released nude footage of a 11 year old boy.

No. I don't see it as pornographic. No more than a picture of a young child at the beach or running around naked in the home. Of course in this case the images are more disturbing and sickening even, but no more pornographic.

Pornography as defined my Merriam Webster: "the depiction of erotic behavior (as in pictures or writing) intended to cause sexual excitement."

I don't think the images are intended to sexual arouse people.

EDIT: to add to this, nude images of children are perfectly legal. So long as they aren't erotic. See: nudist images and art, etc., etc.

They want to at least charge the girls for child pornography possession. This case does not count as CP under the legal definition. Understandable. That's how the law works.

I however see no mention of any other sexually related crimes that these acts would fall under. I even noticed in the fox report that someone involved in the case said that she didn't want to "ruin the girls reputations," despite the fact that the whole purpose of this attack was to ruin the victim's reputation.

It makes me wonder if any of these people are even qualified to uphold the law, personally.

You know this shows how I'm not desensitized to real-life situations. I actually felt extremely terrible watching that video. The kid crying out for help and the laughter of the girls just made it much, much worse. If it was a film or video-game? I would have automatically assumed the ending and shrugged it off. This is coming from someone who was been playing Left 4 Dead 2 for quite a while...in the past 4 hours.

Moving on-topic, I don't even want to describe the hate and pain I'm feeling right now. So without using the usual profane language I blast off, here are my thoughts.

I feel that the girls probably regret it now despite their attitude and personality in the video. It's on the internet and depending on whether or not they know 4chan, they probably feel in danger. Luckily most of us are over-seas and are too tired/lazy/up the moral ladder to do jack. All they might get is a pizza-bombing...and I hope that's all they get. They're going to be scarred for the rest of their life doing what they did and if they get a sentence, at least they can further think about their wrong.

However if they're still laughing about it and don't give a care in the world about the kid, they're very ignorant and with cause and effect in play, a pizza bomb is going to be the least of their worries. If they feel they're in the right and if they go away scot-free well then good for them...until 4chan's wrath comes raining down on them like the Grav Hammer I use in Halo:Reach. Sometimes missing and getting shot down but the occasional, satisfying kill.

Jesus don't even get me started on what would happen if the genders were swapped.

No vengeance.

The mother is a fucking retard, let the boy press charges, have the girls stripped naked and then post the videoes to all known paedophile websites (names and addresses included)

Why is everyone getting so worked up about this? It's just A PRANK! You guys are all wound up too tightly, it's just A PRANK! The mother should have only pressed charges if it were a girl getting stripped naked -essentially sexually assaulted- in front of many oh so evil spectators by 13 year-old boys as girls are physically impossible of rape or any of your disgusting man-crimes you silly people!

women cant rape but they can sexually assault, but cant be charged because the government is retarded.

Who says women can't rape?

Isn't this the plot of a GTO story arc?

It's funny cus it is.. and it was the first thing that popped into my head aswell (Y)

It's fucking ridiculous that the school isn't doing anything about it, because it was outside of school time.
That's what bullies were like with me, they waited until I was walking home when they'd push me over walls or throw bricks at me, and when I reported them the school did fuck all about it.
I said it in the other thread, the girls parents obviously fail as parents and probably won't even punish them.
I don't like wishing bad things on people, but I really hope they get hit by the school bus.

 

[Frankster]

I wished girls did that to me.

You find the idea of being battered, stripped naked and bullied by three people much larger than yourself on film and then have it shown to the world to be appealing?

I'm not seeing the reason there.

Sexual fetishes, you gotta have some for all tastes you know This would either fall under femdom or mild s&m if i'm not mistaken.

On topic... This is one of those times it's very much ok to hit a girl imo, you're being friggin raped, to hell with chivalry! Either gender is capable of being evil and cruel, and these ladies didn't act lady like at all, that their gender acts as a get outta jail card is both morally wrong and sexist.

 

[NightlyNews]

Would you press charges if that boy ends up raping all 3 of them after this? I wouldn't.

I would give him a high-5 for being able to get it up when he's 11.

I know the they enjoyed it thing isn't a defense in rape, but they clearly wanted his penis. THEY HAVE VIDEO EVIDENCE! /thats terrible

 

[TheAmazingHobo]

Is it weird that them posting it on youtube makes a significant difference for me ?

I mean, even without it, this is still a terrible thing to do and there should be consequences in any case (though without the video I MIGHT be willingly to believe it to be a really shitty idea getting out of hand), but the fact that they filmed it and then afterwards thought to themselves "You know, this is hilarious, we just assaulted and humiliated somebody, we should totally share this stuff." is just disgusting.

And I really don´t see how "Well, you know, they are kids." is any excuse. Though some people seem to believe otherwise, I am certain that behaving like a socially-damaged psychopath is not covered under the "Stuff you are allowed to do when you are a kid."-license.

Double standards... there's nothing else I can say that hasn't already been said a thousand times of this thread

 

[CliveMurdoc626]

I don't know why the victim's mother is holding out for the girls parents to punish them if they didn't have the sense to teach their kids not to do something so sick.

 

[PleaseDeleteMe]

It is disgusting, Child porn at the least. Also it is a total double standard

 

[Beliyal]

This is beyond disgusting and I hope the girls will get the punishment they deserve, today, tomorrow or in ten years. Besides the fact that they made their fun from humiliating someone and then posting it on youtube for everyone to see, they attacked a younger and smaller person in a group of three. I wonder would either one of those girls try to do something like that to three boys. Of course not, and if they touched her, as many already said, they would be labelled as sexual assailants.

However, the greatest outrage I have is directed to the society which made it "shameful" and "terrible" if the boy gets attacked, if he cries, or if he's humiliated. This is not about feminists or political correctness towards women; it's about the same thing that has been trying to deny women their rights. A chauvinist culture where man is only a man if he is a "true" man that doesn't break, cry, get attacked, get defeated or get tortured, assaulted or raped and so on. Until the society acknowledges that men can be attacked, that they can cry and that there's nothing shameful about admitting your defeat or humiliation and actively searching for justice, this kind of cases are going to be called "pranks". I've read in this very thread things like "If I was the boys father, I would be ashamed" and similar examples of this societal norm that makes it a bigger deal out of the fact that he was "de-manned", that from the fact that this was a fucking assault that shouldn't go unpunished. The poor boy is going to end up being more ashamed of the fact that he couldn't defend himself or such bullshit (as if he could defend himself; he couldn't and there's nothing wrong with it, but the society thinks that's exactly what's wrong), while the whole case will be ignored because, hey, if girls manage to do that to you, you're a pussy anyway, you deserved it, just shrug it off and maybe it hardens you up. As I said, I am disgusted.

 

[Daveman]

Well I think an eye for an eye in this situation. They should have the exact same done to them. It's not about revenge, nothing can make it up to that boy who is no doubt extremely embarrassed and ashamed. It's about those girls learning some fucking empathy, to understand how crushing it is to be treated that way and to have that experience hanging over your head for the rest of your life.

I've said it before, young girls are fucking evil. Just another day I'm glad to have a penis.

One of the top-rated comments on the first video reads "I hope he rapes the b**ches when he gets older."

I agree this was a horrible thing, and possibly traumatic for the young boy. The girls should have to answer for their actions in some capacity.
But if this is how some people react, and how people encourage people to react...I think we have bigger problems.

Seriously, why is it that the worst kind of self-righteous male chauvinism is suddenly okay because we're faced with this circumstance?
We should be above that.

 

[Coraxian]

Firstly, like another poster said in the previous thread on this matter, I hope a police officer has a VERY serious talk with the gils' parents and the board(s) of the school(s) they are attending. A talk about sexual harrasment, assault, child pornography and how these girls seem to be getting away scot free to the public eye. I'd advice the parents and maybe even the school board(s) to give some form of public punishment to the girls. A public trip in handcuffs to the police station, for instance, with a serious talk to them in group and one by one while there. This may scar them, but so it should. A scar means change and lets hope it's a change that will dissuade them from ever pulling stunts like this again.

I can understand why they don't want to put it on their permanent reccords, but I believe a public punishment would do them far more good than a punishment by their parents nobody else will know about, not the victim and not the enraged society. And since this has gone global, it's one hell of a society. If people think they're not getting their comeuppance, some (*cough/bcough*)will make it their business that they'll get it. And since there is no measure to how much of that they will get, I think the public punishment would be best.

The boy's mother's reaction seems to be the healthies one so far.

The law system could/would punish the girls pretty harsly. And ultimately she belives that the problem is in the schools stance on bulling.

I think there is a lot of truth to that assessment.

Now I can't stop thinking about that South Park episode where all the male adults say "nice".

 

[moretwocents]

I'm sorry, but if I was that mother, I'd press charges like it was going out of style. This kind of thing can't go unpunished! If we don't draw the line here, WHERE DOES IT END?
I understand and support anti-bullying. I get that the mother wants to raise awareness to it. She should do so, however, by MAKING AN EXAMPLE OF THESE GIRLS. I don't care that they might be "too young to make proper decisions" and "didn't know what they were doing." If a person is smart enough to post a youtube video or use a video camera, THEY KNOW ENOUGH TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS!
Let's reverse the situation. Three boys strip a little girl and post it on the internet. BAM. They'd pretty much get everything but the death penalty, wouldn't they? They'd be sex offenders, pedophiles, perverts, rapists (if the lawyers were good enough), unable to EVER get a job, the list would go on. When these girls do it, a slap on the wrist is not strong enough. "Girls will be girls" is not a good enough excuse for this, nor is it one that has EVER been used.
Not only that, but think of the emotion scarring this will do to the poor boy. Contrary to popular belief, nothing on the internet is gone forever if you just delete the source. Hell, as long as this article and these threads still exist, his embarrassment is eternal.
I'm not normally one for the "eye for an eye" thing or revenge in general, but if we don't stop this now, it could escalate to something WORSE which I care not to think about.
By the way, I have no idea why I'm fighting so passionately about this, but it REALLY pisses me off that these "wonderful souls" are going to be in charge of the world someday.
