http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,582964,00.html?test=latestnews Thing is, this sort of thing is common in the public schools. Public schools are the training grounds for the majority of our future adults in America. Yet, the kids are being taught that this behavior is ok. So they press charges against the mother for cussing, but let the sex offender go. No doubt, they say that this is just how kids are.
wow. neither the mothers behavior nor what happened to the girl are appropriate, but charging her with disorderly conduct is outrageous. I am saddened that the boy gets away with what he did.
Ya know, the mother was out of line, but does it really matter what underwear the girl had on? So it's OK to pull her pants down if she has "granny" undies and "nothing" is revealed, but not if she has on a thong and everything is sticking out? Yeah, right!!!
Wow Momoffew ... you're really making us feel good about our decision to homeschool today! I don't swear, but I think if I'd been in that mother's shoes I'd have been driven to it too. I think I'd have flipped my lid at the guy who asked if she was wearing a thong -- what a pervert! I don't buy his explination for asking either! Well Momoffew, I think you've got my blood pressure up high enough to really get some work done. We're cleaning today; whenever I feel myself slowing down I'll just think about your recent posts and beat the daylights out those dust bunnies!
Not all ps are tolerant of such behavior. The school I work for is definitely not tolerant of this. The mom did not go through the chain of command which unfortunately made her lose some credibiility. The comment about the underwear I think was either to make the girl look bad if she was wearing revealing panties or to make a point that nothing showed if she was wearing granny panties. :roll:
Why was a thong even brought up? There's alot missing here. Why did the boy do this? Did the girl tell the boy she had a thong on? Was it one of those 'no, you don't/'yes, I do' things? Was this girl a show off or something? Nobody wants to hear this, but the girl could have brought this whole situation on. Just by the guy bringing up a thong out of the clear blue, it makes me wonder what we don't know.
I've no idea what the girl said, but does it really matter? Even if she DID tell him she had a thong on, he had no right to pull down her pants to see if it were true. Personally, I think the guy brought it up because if the girl DIDN'T have one on, she would have been fairly "covered" when the pants came down. So in my mind, he was suggesting "What's the big deal? No one "saw" anything anyway!" Now, that's just MY "reading between the lines", and I don't know that's what he was thinking.
According to the news report, the same boy had done this weeks before to another boy and it went no further than the school counselor.
Ok - so did they ask the boy if he was wearing boxers or briefs - or hey - was he commando?? Shame on the school for even asking such a ridiculous question - what would they have done if her "grannie pants" had come down WITH the pants!? Where are the BOY's parents? Apparently appropriate behavior isn't being taught somewhere! If it upset my daughter - then I would be right with that mother - self esteem can stink during those years and making this into almost a joke is just sad.
Did she curse because of the thong question? I would too! In fact, I'd have been tempted to pull his own pants down (the guy who asked the thong question) just to illustrate my point!
Is it true that the boy's mother is on the board of education? I have seen that on some of the links to this original story and also saw where someone asked that question but it was not answered the last time I checked. I wonder why the parents of the first victim didn't press charges? The whole thing makes me sick to my stomach. My youngest would have died it this had happened to her and my older one would have decked the guy.
