Primary school students shocked after boy flashes on video

A Thai parent took her eleven year daughter and three friends to police yesterday to complain that her daughter was sexually harassed by a 15 year old boy.

 

The boy befriended the girls on Facebook before inviting them to engage in video chat on an application.

 

The eleven year old P5 student told Amnat Charoen police that the conversation was all about love and sex. Then suddenly the boy reached in his trousers and pulled out his penis and started masturbating.

 

The girl told her mother that led to the police complaint.

 

The girl added that ten of her friends had been befriended in this way by the boy but no one said anything about it.

 

Police are investigating.

The sad thing is that he probably thinks it is normal and quite funny.

Do Thai schools actually have a programme that entails internet safety? Given the number of children addicted to devices it seems like they should.

I don't think Thai have a safety program for anything TIT

The boy needs a good dressing down by the police.

He obviously isn't fully comprehensive as to how serious his actions were.

A one on one with the police should be sufficient.

A 'good dressing down' may not be the most appropriate treatment for his problem.

Facebook and similar sites need to make it more difficult for kids to sign up. I believe there is an age restriction on the site, but it is easy to work around by entering a fake birthdate. Maybe I'm wrong on that point. If so, I stand corrected. Parents and teachers need to do more to protect children as well. I realize that it is nearly impossible to police kids on the Internet but parental involvement may cut down on this type of behavior. All I know is I'm glad I'm not raising children. It seems the dangers parents need to protect children from have multiplied exponentially since I was a young lad.

 

On a side-note, the high school I work for in Japan does not allow students to have a Facebook account. I'm not sure how the school enforces this policy, but it exists. Twitter, however, is just fine. Don't ask me why Twitter is allowed and Facebook isn't.

Hate to say it, but boys will be boys.

 

I know that most of us are well removed from those years, but being young, dumb and full of it guys will make stupid decisions like that.

 

The parents are responsible for ensuring that their children are raised properly.  I.E. making sure their sons know that isn't right and their daughters to not get put in a compromising situation.  Mine is pushing on nine and she already knows the 'hand on each shoulder pulling him in and kneeing the family jewels" move.  Hopefully she never has to use it because she has a pretty good head on her shoulders.

Why is Twitter allowed and Facebook isn't?  

 

The internet is a jungle.  But, keeping them home is safer than riding a motorcycle, without a helmet.

I presume that sometimes we are a bit overprotective to our children.

Yes, I know, Facebook and more of those things are too inviting for some people.

But going to the police?

I think the parents should handle this.

Not the police.

They are not equipped for this!

I suspect this kind of thing is commonplace in Thailand. I recall being in an Internet cafe near a technical college entrance a few years ago and sitting behind a small group of teenage gatoeys having a whale of a time watching  a boy masturbating online on a live chat App. Shrieking and laughing in a typical katoey-way, they didn't seem to possess any self-awareness or shame that they were in a public place and young kids might have been watching the same online show. I got the sense that this was rather normal for them.

Please read my post again. This time read it more carefully. I didn't say go to the police. I used police as a verb.

 

verb (used with object), policed, policing.

to regulate, control, or keep in order by or as if by means of police.

 

I apologize if English is your second language and are not aware of this usage.

Facebook says you have to be 13 to have an account. Who ignored Facebook's T&C? https://www.facebook.com/help/157793540954833

That´s what I always said. Take away Facebook and half of the worlds stupidity goes away. The way of thinking here is harder to change than making Facebook shut down, so don´t even think about it!
