I've been debating making a post about this since I heard about it a few days ago.
This news is disturbing! The apparent double-standard aside, what these girls did is sexually-abusive, mean, and just down-right evil. The mother's inactions and downright not caring for her son is borderline neglect/abuse imo. And the fact that the news media is playing the video en masse without much editing (mild blurring on certain body parts is NOT enough!!! THIS IS STILL CHILD PORN!!! If it were three boys attacking a girl, the media would say something like "The footage is so hard/inappropriate to see, we're not going to play it") is just horrible and should be investigated imo.
I don't know what pisses me off the most honestly:
A) The girls' actions
B) The mother's inactions/lax attitude/seemingly inability to care for her son
C) The media playing the video en masse
D) Everyone posting (on this site? and on other sites) how lucky this boy is...how they wouldn't resist if the girls' had attacked them...how they wouldn't have a problem with it. If they were that boy, they DEFINITELY WOULD see/have a problem with what those girls did.
END THE DOUBLE STANDARD!!! LOCK THESE F***ING GIRLS UP!!! THROW THEIR @$$3$ ON THE SEX OFFENDERS LIST!!! Just like if three boys had done this same thing to an eleven year old girl.

I also would like to add one more thing:
Society teaches the boys to NEVER hit a girl. No matter WHAT! NEVER...HIT...A...GIRL!!!! Now, this same society is telling this boy that he should've fought back? What if he did before the video started but was still over-powered? (Remember, he was outnumbered 3-to-1...by people 3 grades older (and probably, a few inches and a couple pounds bigger...each))

I agree that a double standard is at work here as reguards gender. However when dealing with crimes commited by children different rules should apply, this is not 3 21 year olds stripping an 11 year old. Deciding not to use the court system is a perfectly legitimate response.

Perfect response by the mother. People have forgotten that you can solve things without suing or whatever.
|
Another question to note while thinking about this... what if this had been 3 14-year-old boys stripping an 11-year-old boy? Or 3 14-year-old girls stripping an 11-year-old girl?
That is a case where I feel that this would be much more likely to be written off as a "prank gone too far." Does the fact that it is opposite genders make it more serious somehow?

if anything in 5 years he'll look back on how lucky he was.
3 14 year old boys forcibly restrain and remove the clothes of an 11 year old girl, and they go on the sex offenders register. 3 14 year old girls forcibly restrain and remove the clothes of an 11 year old boy, and its a harmless prank that maybe got a little bit out of hand.
Equality is a wonderful thing.
