In Trenton, New Jersey, a 15-year-old girl sold her 7-year-old stepsister to a group of men and boys at a party for sex.

I keep “swearing” and promising myself I won’t read this kind of stuff, it upsets me and raises my blood pressure! AUGGGGGHHHHH!!!
That child in Wales makes me WEEP and reminds me of the coverups done by the Catholic church and other schools and organizations. UGHHHHHH!
The girl selling herself was bad enough but to sell her 7 year old sister!!!! UGHHHHHHH!
Let me resign from the human race! I was physically abused in 2nd grade by ONE student who kept beating me up and I was ASHAMED of it and didn’t tell until she brokek my jaw and the swelling made it obvious I was hurt.
However, the teacher and my parents “trivalized” this girl’s behavior and also my pain, they encouraged me to be “understanding” and to “play with her as a friend” and my shame and my anger and my pain meant noting. The “poor girl only did it to me because she was the youngest of a huge brood of kids” so it “wasn’t her fault.” YES IT WAS! She chose to torment me because I was the smallest, youngest kid in the class and I didn’t know how to fight back!
The story of this little girl horrified me and opened “files” in my own background that were connected to some ugly emotions. I need to contain my feelings associated with these “files” (per dr. Joe carver–BTWs thanks for that link, Donna, it was a great one!) Maybe that should be this week’s “self improvement” project!
What people can do each other amazes me, some stories being totally disturbing (like articles about these children). I learned this week watching the national news about a 15 year old girl (an Irish immigrant) living in Massachusettes who committed suicide due to extreme bullying that she received from kids at her school. Her tormentors (9 teens) are being charged with felony charges. When I hear about children being abused, I grieve for them, wishing that they had never encountered and suffered at the hands of people who have no heart.
My children’s elementary school believed in a psycho-drivel theory that basically stated that only defective children were targeted by bullies.
In other words, they actually believed that if a bully targeted your child, it was because your child had a serious dysfunction. They further believed that the best “cure” was to send both the victim and the bully down to their counselors, who would burn up the victim’s academic time with psycho-drivel. Most egregiously, they didn’t believe that parents of the victim should be notified of the bullying, or the psycho-drivel sessions. Never mind that I had deliberately NOT signed the release form permitting any psycho-drivel sessions with my child, as I don’t believe that is appropriate without my knowledge of the specific issue being addressed.
Yes, this set of thoroughly offensive policies and irrational beliefs are “Exhibit A” in “Why We Home School.”
The adults in my children’s school actually endorsed the bully’s justifications for bullying, because they believed that anyone the bully targeted was defective. Furthermore, they colluded together to prevent me from knowing that my child was being targeted by a bully on an hourly basis.
Grrrrrr!!! Words cannot express the depth of loathing I feel for those 2 legged cockroaches!
PS: That public school system is now plagued by multiple scandals and drastic budget cuts. I say they should fire the psycho-drivel team that spends their “workday” plotting the downfall of well-behaved, mild-mannered victims of budding sociopaths.
It’s the ‘hide and seek’ game…..
DON”T TELL ME HOW TO DO MY JOB!!!
Well….now look where it’s gotten us!!!
Quick…..hide it again……and we just know it will go away!!!!
UNTIL NEXT TIME!!!
Well folks…..WE ARE AT THE NEXT TIME POINT!!!
Dear EC,
Believe me I too am well a ware of how these “policies” develop and how they turn the trust backwards to justify abuse and them not stopping it.
The schools in which I do the historical presentations, are I admit TOP OF THE LINE public schools but their policies are so in tuned with REALITY that I am always amazed at the kids! How attentive, respectful and well behaved the kids are, and then I see other schools that have to frisk the kids to take away guns and knives! UGH!
I home schooled my older son when it was ILLEGAL TO DO SO, because he was as an ADHD kid, a continual TARGET of bullies, then later I enrolled him in a private school, then when that was no longer possible, I let him drop out of school and take his GED and go to college. Not that this kid turned out perfect, but he got an education at least and he isn’t a psychopath like the other one, just a self defeatingj arsehole.
whole school policy of Zero tolerance for bullying (including members of staff by principal or any other adult/teacher/parent ) is the only effective method in schools. ANY hesitation with it colludes with abuse thriving on fear, hesitation and vulnerability
In my experience There is a value in equipping neglected, timid and fearful children with the SKILLS to stand up for themselves and have their feelings VALIDATED. That does involve non academic time to meet with them and ( hopefully without psychdrivvel) HEAR their sadness, terror and misery as no child should be expected to psychologically handle a bully without TIMELY support from family, teachers, community, police, parents and if they happen to have a play-therapist, counselor …even better, it takes a village to raise a child.
These “bullied” children can get locked in their shame suffering and perhaps obsessing about suicide rather than tellling anyone. When they finally CAN say it to a trusted adult (presumably that’s US) the relief is palpable, and to see them taking on the bully later on is a joy and celebration, they beam with confidence and pride. The bully? keeps the behaviour for outside the school or tips into remorse (normal) or can be psychopath/sociopath and then there are records, psych assessments etc. Catching it earlier!
Heartbroken with this sexual abuse Convinced it’s linked to internet porn industry and a rising sexualization of violence. Upset again. Feel so helpless, can’t rescue the world but so weary and sad that innocence is exploited like this. Ox It’s Good Friday. Forgive them father for they know not what they do? crying is the best I can do for now.
Dear bulletproof
“forbid them not to come unto me”—-and “He who offends one of these little ones would be better off if a mill stone were tied around his neck and he were tossed into the sea”
Children have a special place I think in the heart of God, and those who abuse them a “special place” reserved in Hades!
I’m not sure the Internet Porn is making abuse “worse” but just making it more apparent…our local city just hired 2 new officers to focus on child porno making and sales, and I am assuming that is because there is enough ‘business” to warrant two dedicated detectives to do nothing else.
Six arrests were made this week in the “local city” for child porn, one a college student. And they put their mug shots up on TV news show! Along with their names and addresses. That might make them want to crawl back into their holes.

Jesus Christ “surrendered” to his own demise at the hands of bad men(would we call so many people psychopaths?)
he suffered so that we could see that it does not matter he would rise again and have eternal life….he died for his beliefs and modelled integrity.
Don’t mind me I’m babbling away because it’s Easter and i’m trying to “get it” lol
dilemma is he was not shouting to everyone, this must stop! these people are sociopaths and they have no remorse! be wary of the sociopaths for they are evil…etc like you would expect
He said forgive them father, for they know not what they do….
and it’s God’s design we do not know what we do. So whaddawe do?
Me? I am off to find a few mill stones and the nearest sea side
Bullying..I hear fathers say, “kids will be kids, boys should toughen up” etc. Meanwhile, it continues. and the PARENTS make excuses. Could that be why it gets worse. We have a nation of excusers? Too lazy to really parent and discipline?
One of the parents in a recent teenage suicide caused by bullying was quoted “name calling is what teenagers do”. SO THAT MAKES IT OKAY???? Teenagers also steal, do drugs and shoot people..so get over it??
When will verbal and emotional abuse be recognize?. Is there a grassroots movement for this? Anyone know of an organization dedicated to education on the harm of this “disease”. Having watched my children live through the “joking” of an abusive parent, this topic hits home.
