Here is a piece on the sexual assault by these kids on a 6 yo girl, in school. My question is this: the story says the boys may be charged with sexual assault. How can kids that young be charged with anything, considering they are pre-pubescent and couldn't possibly know what they were doing, in the sense of 15 or 16 yo boys would.

Not to knock the armed services in any way but stories of prisoners being violated by soldiers etc may have been part of the curiosity factor that led these sick demented puppies to embark on their role playing adventure.
I dont think that every sickness of the mind can be explained just by societal and environmental factors, but you would have to wonder if this is not just another case of our 21st century lifestyle being so insulated away from life and instead programmed away towards consumption and superficiality that in some ways these boys had little concept of the damage they were actually doing.
For them and some were as old as ten apparently this may have been a morph between the Man Show, All in mud wrestling with a bit of Abu Ghraib thrown in for good measure.
We have yet to measure the desensitization of the young by the gruesome spectacle of seeing visual reporting of the senseless deaths and dying suffered by children worldwide. Who knows the irreperable damage done to our childrens psyche's after a short life of seeing interminable pictures of death and suffering on the TV screens while their existence is prosperous and rich with resources and opportunities.
Apart from the usual teary eyed, weak kneed, lilly livvered Liberal put down, can anyone deny that life as become such a commodity, from the way we obsess about the physical atributes of others to the way that death and misery are indiscriminately displayed in our living rooms, that the sanctity we would hope all would accord to life, is now irrevocably torn apart .

Kids that age are desperate to fulfill their needs, which include things that have to do with their parents and their peers, not sexual or anything in the society.
I'm not saying that I know what is wrong with the kids, but hopefully they can get in with some counselors who can help them cope with the guilt and turn their tendencies.

The ability to act out and role play violence in the graphic forms that arcade and internet games allow mean that kids have been disturbed by their environment in a much more traumatic way than they ever were. Add to that the measured response that children tend to be smarter than their parents, means that they probably understand a lot more of life than what we give credit. Factor in a diet that is heavily dependent on animal products cultivated with the enhanced feeding programs that can include hormonal enrichment to facilitate quicker harvesting, means that children are being 'switched on' a lot earlier than ever before to the extent that 8 year olds are being reported as showing signs of puberty

Originally posted by kmax87Is that the justification for running these kids through the criminal justice system? If thats the case, does that mean that 4 year olds may eventually be subjected to the same thing? That would be the logical conclusion of this progression.

I remember there was a lot of debate surrounding the two English schoolboys who murdered a 2-year-old, and whether they could be tried. Don't remember the precise details though, including the ages involved.
The fact that someone said to the press that they 'may' be charged doesn't really mean much. They're just covering bases in my opinion and preventing a reaction of outrage over the incident.
I do wonder exactly what happened. Young children have been known to investigate each other's private parts, but they don't necessarily mean the same thing by it as an adult would. Then again, children are exposed to so much soft porn in the media it wouldn't be surprising if they got ideas.

Originally posted by expressiveoutburstAnd if it was one of YOUR kids that did that, would you be the first one to throw the stones? Mind, I am not condoning what the kids did, it went way over the line, but their brains are not even close to being fully formed so you have extremely immature minds taken over by a mob mentality and brutalizing that little girl. So then the boys get put in juvie hall and in some kind of juvie jail where they get REAL trainging in the art of sexual abuse?
I say kill all the little ba$t**ds! they deserve as much punishment as they can give them, little brats, shouldnt be allowed to see light again in their lives!

I knew better then that at 7 years old, Thanks to my Dad. And if by any chance I did get into trouble, I would get a licking that would prevent me from doing it again.
