Anyone have any experience of this and what will happen next?
ds13 was shown an explicit video at school of a child aged 13 having sex with another child.

i have reported to school
I previously reported to social services but nothing happened.
will anything happened or will this just continue and we have to accept that we just live in this world ?

Just horrific. Damn these poxy phones.

QueenCamilla · 19/10/2023 18:28

At 14 all of them could be put on the sex-offender's register for a year or two. So yeah, it's not something to ignore (not that the OP has) and just ascribe to "sign of our times".

There is nothing she can do it's a safeguarding issue they will not tell her anything. It's between the authorities and the parents of the children not the op. If the op hears that it's still happening then she should report it. She is not entitled to an update.

For the 50 thousandth time, I said in my post that the OP may not be entitled to an update, so I don't need to be told. The reading skills of some people on here are non-existent.

Read the ops last update she had you hooked. I have better things to do than chat shit about nothing.

You need to put it in writing so there is a paper trail.

This.

Phone calls can easily be denied.

Email them referencing the phone call time and date and confirming their response.

In my experience it is the ONLY thing that gets things moving in most situations.

The police told you they were sharing for likes are you sure you heard correctly. How graphic is the video if at all graphic. If they uploaded it on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram for likes the video would have been removed a sex video isn't appropriate for likes????

Edited

I didn’t say the police told me that. I said then when after I reported it I was told it is still being shared by the kids involved and being shown that I then contacted the school

Bigfuzzywuzzybear · 19/10/2023 18:39

And yes for likes why else? It is on group chats on social media

Likewise. Suggest you stop chatting shit then.

Bigfuzzywuzzybear · 19/10/2023 18:40

And the school had NO idea which to me was pretty shocking
for those being criticsl that I didn’t call them at the time I thought social and police would cover all bases

You sound very uptight you need to move on.

You sound very uptight you need to move on.

And you need to learn how to read.

Carpediemmakeitcount · 20/10/2023 09:43

DriftingDora · 20/10/2023 08:21

And you need to learn how to read.

You need to back away from the internet you don't sound right. You are taking this too personal. Speak to someone who can help you.

MollyMarples · 20/10/2023 09:44

The children are sharing videos of child sexual abuse. That’s a v serious offence and they should be investigated and prosecuted

And you are definitely not right. Thanks so much for your professional advice - when I need it you'll be the first to know. Like never. Run along now.

Erm... sending round child porn is a crime. At the very least they should confiscate the phones and the police should speak to them. They need to know it's a criminal offence otherwise they'll end up on the sex offenders register

Also most 13 year olds are not having sex and even if they are they should not be filming themselves, in fact it's a stupid idea for an adult to do that unless they 100% trust their partner.

Would you film yourself having sex and send it round your workplace?

No and if you read my previous post you will see I don't. I am pointing out to OP how difficult these issues are to deal with.

They are not unusual issues. I work as a Senior School Improvement advisor for a local authority and one of my responsibilities is Safeguarding.

13 year olds having sex is not unusual at all. They have free access to porn and have grown up in a society where the use of online porn is now very common in homes and access to it is instant on smartphones - I don't know a teenager without a smartphone. Teenage boys, in particular, are avid porn users but girls use it too. They regard it and what they see in it as normal and expected of them. They are aware of sexting and many feel under pressure to do it.

Something being illegal does not mean it is policeable- whoever is doing the policing. Boys bluetooth sex videos and photos. Most are downloaded from the internet, or they have been sent them by another boy . However, they video themselves/each other at parties at weekends or even with their girlfriend and some then share them. Once shared they are impossible to recall and keep track of.

Schools deal with this and the daily teenage dramas of relationships, teenage pregnancies, pregnancy scares, drugs, weapons, mental health issues etc. You have no idea of the huge range of issues that now roll into schools.

Some instances are much more straightforward to deal with than others but they are all more complex than you seem to think they are. Schools have safeguarding rules to follow. They should be taking advice and working with police and safeguarding teams at the local authority. However, issues are prioritised by the police. Read my previous post, in the thread, about this and get off your high horse.

Your notion of 13 years olds not being involved in sex is risible.

OP I've not rtft so haven't seen the negative posts. But I'd like to say thank you for trying to do something.

I read an article yesterday (I think) in the DM a woman who was broken by her job working with children. She was dealing with nonstop reports from children, young girls, who have objectively been raped. From boys who'd raped their girlfriends and were wondering why they were being 'strange' with them. This is a pandemic.

I know the DM is, with good reason, scorned on these boards but this was a cut above their usual article. It was the woman's own words. No mention of house prices.
