((Seeker1950)) - I'm sorry this event happened to one of your students and I know how upsetting this must be for you and your community. There was an incident in 2011 at my daughters school in grade 8 - a girl took pornographic pics of herself and sent them to a boy...who then sent them to all his friends.

IMO there are several to blame here. The best person here is her friend. First this man who is an obvious predator/pedophile who is deluded in thinking this is a worthy relationship. Even though I feel this was consensual, its still rape since she's underage. I do feel this girl should have known better - why didn't she - obviously her mother and other adults in her life didn't warn her or teach her about growing up too fast, internet safety etc. If a parent starts from a young age, instilling strong morals...this situation wouldn't happen, unless its completely forced.

I really believe society is deteriorating with kids having access to porn. Kids as young as 11 are having sex and group sex is happening more often. Oral sex used to be frowned on and now young people do this before intercourse. Kids are having sex in school washrooms and behind schools. In our school system they do teach internet safety but it won't shield all the kids. I'm a parent of 2 girls and I believe they would never do this. This isn't a clear case of a kid being forced against her will - he's still guilty of rape even if it was consensual.
