What the heck is Michigan coming to ping
I hope that all of the adults involved in the upbringing of the accused boys are being scrutinized. This strikes me as learned behavior, not that that makes it okay.

I had forgotten your stories about then when I wrote my post in #100.
I know where your coming from - I was a preacher at the time of all this - It didn’t dent my faith but sure did try my sanity.
Keep Strong

Good for you. That’s a message one day the public schools will have to pay attention to.

Ah,,,,so are you admitting that homeschooling is the safest and healthiest way to raise a child?
It is a shame.
Some children will need to be institutionalized for their education. Their families are simply too disadvantaged or too dysfunctional. We also need orphanages for children in dysfunctional, missing, or disadvantaged families, but no one is claiming that it is a normal or healthy way to raise a child.
I sure as heck hope he/she was watching the road and traffic.
Maybe they need 2 person crews.
Softballmon,
I am truly sorry that your childhood was so abusive. I have read your posts regarding your father, and now have read that you were abused at school as well.
Is that the incident rate? Wow.

Yes, 17,000 children are admitted to emergency rooms for school bus injuries. EVERY year children are dragged or crushed to death by school buses. Probably ALL of the deaths and the rate of injuries reduced if their was adult supervision on the BACK of the bus and while crossing the street.
But,,,,hey! Improving school bus safety would mean less money for the teacher´s paycheck and fat pensions.
So....if 17,000 kids are admitted to the emergency room, can you imagine the injury and abuse that never gets reported?
Honestly, I think any parent that would allow their child to ride a school bus is either desperate or hopelessly naive.
if their was adult supervision

The facts is that our culture is corrupt. Evil surrounds us because Satan wants to lead everyone to follow his damnation. People search for truth and refuse the truth and embrace something that feels good that moment. These boys committed this act on a public school bus, but they did not learn it is okay to committ fellatio on another nor to force it from the schools. They learned it from their culture and the environment their parents allowed them to steep in. There may be an immediate answer to bus problems, in terms of requiring 1 or even 2 assistants but that doesn't address the heart of corruption. A parent can home school or private school(and in some cases they SHOULD) but that doesn't address the corruption of our society.
I have to respect Patrick Henry College in Virginia. Their mission is to place Christians into the public service arena. Many of their kids were schooled in an alternative method. PHC's goal is to eventually have enough of their graduates to affect policy and make a change. I admire that. That is proactive and begins to address the problem. I graduated from Bob Jones University, another Christian institution. I see my work in public schools as a reason to be an up-standing person of character who is there to make a difference. Others pooh pooh it, but let 'em. If I believe that I am doing God's work, then others that mock me are of no importance and just don't register on my radar screen.
These boys committed an evil, EVIL act and while they should be punished, I hope that someone close to them is able to show them another path - one that eventually leads to decency rather than an orange prison suit.

Kids used to be, and even now should be allowed to be, asexual till puberty.
@@@@@@
One of the saddest things happening to our kids today is the theivery of their innocence. Just as children develop through crawling, walking, talking stages, so do they progress through bonding with parents, then with peer groups, before they begin to be attracted to opposite sex relationships.
The elementary school years are meant to be years of asexual friendship, as you said, but kids are getting so many sexual messages, that they are almost being forced to jump to the boyfriend/girlfriend/or any other sexual combination too early in their lives. Some of these children are going to confuse their natural affection for their same-sex pals with ‘romantic’ feelings. This, I believe, is part of the plan of those adults who want to weaken traditional society, and strengthen the force of “alternative” lifestyles.
It is very destructive to a healthy society.
Umm yes. Why would they feel sexual attraction to anything before puberty? Also, is the sarcasm necessary?
So the little darlings can do it at home instead of the bus.
Unless the parents are abusive something like this should never happen in a homeschooling situation because the parents are there to supervise and the children are not exposed to all of the negative influences from their peers at school and the politically correct school curiculum.
Thanks. This was a long time ago, so it’s merely a distant memory now. You take care.
The father of the 11-year-old boy, however, said his son merely witnessed the attacks and was himself a victim of a similar attempted sexual assault by the 9-year-old. He questioned the safety of students on Howell buses... Although the events reportedly happened at the end of the school year, Superintendent Chuck Breiner said he just learned of the alleged sexual assaults on Monday when the 11-year-old boy's father called him to ask why his son was questioned by the school principal and a police officer without his knowledge.
Gee, maybe they should start teaching about SEX in pre school! I’m being sarcastic. The MORE you throw this stuff in their face - the more they will try it!
Jesus said "I am THE way, the truth and the life: no man goeth to the Father, but by me."
Unless you are going to convince the Christ of sin, there is one right religion, and one right way, according to the one by whom all things were created. But I suppose you know more than the one who created you?
I've been educated by and lived with those that praise Jesus on Sunday and follow Satan Monday through Saturday. Don't even go there with me. You have no idea what abuse I endured at the hands of Christians. It is only by God's grace and love that I fight the temptation of hate every day of my life.
