Nothing wrong with a little squibbing on the application.

We're just talking statutory in the connecticut case right? No evidence of force?

About 20 minutes south of Steubenville, so basically been hearing bits and pieces about this case for like the past few months. Of late, the girl's basically been receiving death threats and other juvenile shit to the point she's probably gonna have to wind up moving to escape the heat. Swear, if you play football in this area, you're innocent even if proven guilty.

You know, (wonder if I should make a new thread on this), I often thought that schools really need to set aside class time for a "how to deal with the internet" class. Honestly, most kids know how to use a computer by age 7, that keyboarding class could discuss some of this stuff.

I really feel like kids don't understand what they are doing when they post this stuff on twitter n' such. When I student taught, I had a nice kid in my class that got suspended for two weeks because he video taped a school fight and put it up on youtube. I mean, why wouldn't he? They see that shit on youtube all the time, and are too young to think, "hey doing this could get me into trouble." (Obviously on top of that, he shouldn't have been taping it in the first place).

It makes me sad that there is so much pressure on schools for testing, that things like etiquette and real life skills classes have disappeared. When, yes, a good grade could get you into a nice college, but knowing not to pull this shit can keep you out of jail.

Um, not sure we want to teach kids to be smart enough to cover up crimes...without twitter and idiots shooting video, the Steubenville rapists would never have been charged.

**Ksandra** · 2013-03-21 16:58

I know my post was kind of a rambling rant, but no I don't think we should just allow kids to be ignorant so they can get into trouble by showing what other kids are doing.

I do think that a lot of irl teaching is not being done. Honestly, how many kids even know what statutory rape is considered in their state? And schools need to focus more on teaching kids how to behave (hence my etiquette class comment).

Part of being a teacher is creating an environment where students feel safe. This includes that if something happens to you, you feel comfortable enough to tell a teacher, and not have that teacher blow it off. (in fact, it's against the law for a teacher to not report abuse).

I am actually all for schools being punished in some way if they are found out trying to cover up these situations.

I just think that "kids misusing social media" is so completely dwarfed by the actual problems in these stories that it shouldn't even be mentioned.

looks that way to me, but then wouldn't the 17 yr old not be charged?

No? Police are relying on twitters and youtube to tell us the truth, rather than encouraging female students to speak up, and punishing schools who throw it under the rug because SPROTS? That's not important? Really?

If students are taught what would happen if they do these things (rape) and are taught how to voice it when it happens, I think it's a lot less likely to happen.

In Connecticut, a person commits statutory rape when he or she engages in sexual activity with a minor (1) more than three younger if the younger person is at least age 13 but under age 16 or (2) under age 13 if the actor is more than two years older (CGS § 53a-73a).

While I'm one of those white knight anti-troll types, the biggest problem I'd see with any kind of attempt is inconsistency and the meshing of youth with adults. The fact some people want to believe that in their heart of hearts it's the internet, thus anything's okay, basically fucks any kind of progress a teacher is likely to make. I could go on to rant about how gaming sites (as likely child magnets) could benefit from more stringent moderation, but that just invites the crowd who wants to whine about censorship with the occasional uprising of splinter sites with the "fuck that site" mentality, who probably take it upon themselves to obsessively troll and instigate their origin (Sort of like how BGers can get to Alla/KI/OF/etc.) without any care for or screening of minors. Yeah, kids are gonna do stupid shit, but adults are gonna do even dumber shit they should rightly know better.

Alas, drama. Or something.

What does this have to do with kids misusing social media?

You're the worst.

you said it was ok for them to misuse it so it's easier to catch the crooks.

oh right, forgot the age of consent is arbitrary.

That's actually exactly why it's good to teach them. You think these kids watch the news to see other kids get arrested for cyberbullying? They see all their friends doing it and few are being taught (by parents) what they should and shouldn't be doing on the internet. Shouldn't schools be more than just getting kids ready for college? Of course it's not going to get rid of cyberbullying 100%. That doesn't mean you don't make the effort.

Read my link. Only one who can give consent (in this situation) are the parents (in Connecticut) for marriage only.

Why did ask your question then? Just because the kid is 17 doesn't change the fact the victim was 13. Consent has to come from both.
