I'm Not going to lie to you.Cyrus Hanley said:Most of my sentiments of this event have already been expressed. The mother's refusal to press charges against the three girls may not be the right thing to do "legally", but let us remind ourselves that she is doing this in the best interests of her son. Right now, her main priority as a mother is to comfort her child and provide emotional support.
It's not uncommon for sexual assault or rape victims to decline pressing charges against the assailants or even to actually report the incident, and I don't expect any different in this situation. But, with the amount of press coverage this has received (as well as the actual evidence), I have no doubt that the girls will be charged with the sexual assault of a minor. Just not at this time.
As for the boy himself... I hope he gets whatever help he needs.
Now, with this having been said, I wonder two things.
a) What will feminists have to say of this?
and b) How long it will be before we see an episode of Law and Order: Special Victims Unit based on this incident?

Ive ACTUALLY SEEN and episode of Law and order that played out EXACTLY like this.. I shall now explain the episode.
Snip
Agreed. There should be no reason that these girls should not face the full extent of the law.Whargarble said:Charges should be pressed. No matter who the assaulter is, or whomever the victim is, this type of situation should not go unpunished.
This shouldn't even be an issue of "doubled standards". The fact that the mother chose to take what I'm sure she felt was the "high road" is, in my opinion, still the wrong decision.
I don't care if its women attacking men, or men attacking women. This is harassment, plain and simple.
Get angry that this even happens in the first place, not over who the attacker or victim was.
The cynicism is strong in this onePaulH said:Too many parents leave it up to schools to basically raise their children. Proper eating courses... etc. If you really have so little time to teach your child the basics that you will leave such duties to a complete stranger teaching 30 other kids the same thing and couldn't be arsed if one student out of that class is failing ... then what type of parent are you?Shio said:That system only works when the parents are reasonable, lol. The youngest son (maybe seven-years-old) of the family across the road once pissed on our driveway and broke several of my mum's garden decorations by smashing them on the road. The parents thought it funny and laughed it off.PaulH said:See ... call it what you like, but frankly I think parents should be the ones expected to discipline their kids. Judicial process shouldn't be expected to fill those gaps as well.
Fail parents are fail!
I mean it's getting to the point that I think most Western countries would have better luck with the education system as it stands if parents merely had children and dropped them off at an 'Education Camp' when they hit 4 years of age.
Where they're all assigned a 'Student Identification Number' to wear on their all-grey tunics and slacks, tattooed into the back of their necks, and a central 'Scholarly Barracks' (assembled by Age) they have to report to 10 hours a day led by central disciplinarian and a militantly structured arm of Educators directly answerable to the 'Education Field Marshal' of the Ordo Paedagogus.
No time on the "outside", except periodic 'government work center' shifts each week.
I mean, parents already expect teachers with their whole 55 mins a week with their child to facilitate in not only filling their heads with knowledge, but teaching them to be ethical human beings. Seriously ... it's bullshit ... thge job shold be me, book, blackboard, 25 students ... if they listen they listen, if they don't they don't, if they don't listen and stop others from being able to listen they lose 10 lunch breaks cleaning the entire quadrangle.
Ahhh ... days of what are rapidly seeming like the "Golden Age" of parental responsibility.
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?Battlemind said:I wished girls did that to me.
methinks:Knife-28 said:Secret world leader (shhh) said: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!say to you.![]()
That is all I am going to you.
Anyway, on topic, It's horrible, and the girls involved should face what's going to them.
Clearly you've never wandered too deep into the recesses of the internet. There are people out there that would (and often do) pay good money for that kind of treatment. =PShio said: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?Battlemind said:I wished girls did that to me.
I'm not seeing the reason there.
See, I have no trouble with a two-working-parents home. But I fail to see why parents are more concernsed with breaking that 2000-3000/week mark salaries. I mean I've heard all sorts of excuses "oh ... we work so much because mortgage, and food, and electricity, and the 2 cars, and books, and uniforms, etc etc etc etc. Raising a child isn't cheap" ...Shio said:The cynicism is strong in this one
But yeah, I agree with you. Parental accountability is all but gone. I'm far from sexist and the idea of men and women having separate roles is as alien to me as homosexuality being unethical and a danger to children, but I think with women now expected almost as much as men to get a job and have a career, most households have two working parents. In the days gone by one parent (usually/always) the mum would stay home, look after the house and educate the kids on behavior, with the father disciplining them. As that system no longer happens, kids spend most of their time at school and parent-less.
It's not surprising, but it's still sad. Maybe children do need a parent to stay home (male or female doesn't matter) to bring a little accountability and actual parenting back into the world. But that just won't work for so many families; living aint cheap.
I know if I were the parent of one of these girls I would force the state to press charges. Then I would send her ass to a boarding school.Merkavar said:yeah these girls from what i can tell are just going to be punished by their parents. so no suspened from school no detention no police charges.arcade109 said:Because yknow, 3 boys doing that to a girl is just a silly prank gone a wee bit too far right? right? No fuck that. Theyd get charged and so should these girls.
what are there parents going to do? ground them for a week? a month. hardly seems like much of a punishment for humilating and assualting someone like they did.
Up until the "no charges pressed" part, I actually thought you got this confused with an episode of 'Without a Trace' that played out exactly the same way.callmegreen said:I'm Not going to lie to you.Cyrus Hanley said:Most of my sentiments of this event have already been expressed.
