Porn VCD in school. Over-react? No mercy?

My Intimate Care SG

Cool
I still think calling the police is too much.
Those are still 14 yrs old.

And so wat if they are regretable later?

Can someone guarantee they will not watch at a later age??

Let's look at this incident at another point of view. The school kept the 17 boys back 7 hours without food or drink. This caused one of the boys that had a rare illness to fall sick. The principal had to inform the police to protect her reputation as people will wonder why the boys are being kept for 7 hours, pretty smart move don't you think? Cool

Where do you draw the line then? Calling the police is not necessarily bad. Is this how we look at the police? The police serves as a deterrence rather than just a fear tactic.

So if you wanna bring so many scenarios in, may i ask you what is REALLY BAD? Where do you draw the line? If today they watch porn, tomorrow they peep at a girl in the toilet, is that REALLY BAD or are they JUST CURIOUS, so we should let them go? Then what should we do when they go on to try what they see in the porn video? REALLY BAD or CURIOUS? If your definition of REALLY BAD is that it harms another person, then how do we know another person is not harm in this case? If someone did not initiate watching the porn, maybe another guy who have no access to this VCD wun watch it. Again, calling in the police is NOT necessarily a bad move if we see it as a deterrence. When we hear neighbours quarrel until very heated and making alot of noise, we sometimes fo call police. Police comes, warns them, they stop. Its deterrent. Its not a criminal record.

Anyway, its true most of us have watch porn before. But in this case, it uncovered the truth that porn pirates are trying to sell its way into schools. Is that a concern for you or is it "Ah, its ok."

calling the police is nt bad in this case? one of the boys is at home nw wondering if he will be charged. if he is ever convicted in court his future will nt be glorious anymore. if he is nt convicted yes it is nt a criminal record... but there will always be a police report AGAINST him.

if todae they watch porn n peep at a gal tomorrow it will be on a case by case basis then. if they do it repeatedly, i still don think the police shd be called in... maybe send those boys for professional counselling. if it is their first time doing so... i confirm chop chop don agree to calling the police... this topic is regarding sec sch children... IMO adults shd be able to think for themselves.... sec sch children r going through puberty... they r curious bout everything under the sun. juz cos they r curious bout porn u call in the cops? wat is this?

the thing here is tat i feel tat it is NT necessary to call in the police at all on 14 year olds. Instead of scaring them into nt doing it... i prefer the softer way of approaching; teaching them into nt doing it.

the news stated tat ONLI one disc is found between the 17 kids and u r here saying that porn is being sold in sch. even if they r nt sold in sch they can be bought anywhere in singapore as long as u chanced upon it. instead of calling the police unto them... teach them instead.

If the principal was so noble and wanted to call the police, to punish the students, to set a good example, to trace down the source of the VCD etc. She would have do so earlier instead of keeping back the students for 7 hours. She is only using the student’s mistake to cover her mistake of not allowing the students to eat or drink for 7 hours. She knew she wouldn’t be able to answer to the media if she didn’t called the police. What kind of principal is this? She ruined the future of 17 boys for her own.

Hmmm just my 2cents - to illustrate my point let me relate a personal experience:

I was 14 yo and was a habitual shoplifter at a bookshop. one day i got caught and was brought to the manager's office. She contemplated calling the police and there were signs arnd the bookshop saying that shop lifters will be dealt with by the police. Anyway i pleaded with her and she agreed to give me a chance. If i pay return everything she will not involve the police and let me go. Well i returned everything and was let off.

Point is, If she took the path taken by that principle, i might have ended up with a criminal record and might not be in university now. After that incident, i took a risk management approach as far as possible. IE. look at the consequences. If cannot deal with it, don't commit the offence. While this is not PERFECT (I'd probably risk jail time for a reasonable chance of getting away with say 10 million) at least it brought me within the boundries of the law. I think that is sufficient - respect the rules of society.
Therefdre, she was IMO irresponsible in taking such drastic actions. I do not think that she KNEW that involving the police will not result in the boy's getting a criminal record. No doubt the behausior SHOULD be condemned- there are somethings that you just don't openly allow...coz its a slippery slope. If you allow this todae, your just expanding the boundries of acceptable behaviour.

BUT IMO A public caning(maybe) + public reprimand + informing the parents should and will suffice. This will condemn the behaviour and yet serve to scare them and others. Further she suposedly kept them behind for seven hours - for WHAT?! no good reason as far as i can tell. Just confiscate the tapes, if you need time to discuss let them go home and deal with them tomorrow. Now she has created so much publicity .Such lack of foresight on her part is distressing.

Old virgin woman. what do you expect. The students also have themselves to blame. VCDs only, so slim and small also can kena caught. Imagine last time we have to hide big bulky VCR tapes. Cannot make it lah.

ditzy SG

He forgot where he placed it. So when he took out the book, he was shocked that the vcd dropped out from there.

My Intimate Care SG

Yupee. Completely ruined.
I wonder the principal herself or himself ever watched or own a porn VCD b4....
Even the teacher too.

And if one day they find their kids having the same thing. Do you think they will also call the police to catch their own kids?
Since they are so noble to call the police to catch other ppl's kids, by right they should call police to catch theirs too if they find out.

But my first thoughts are nopee. They wont.
I think their kids may be trying to burn or throw away watever porn they hav right now, in case get caught by their own parents...and get drag to the police...haha.
