How does this stuff happen??

Have you seen the news today?? Children as young as 5 were expelled from schools last year for sexual bullying.  A 5 and 6 year old were caught trying to elope to Africa. I ask you… what on earth is going on??? I don’t know about you guys but when I was 5 and at school there was nothing like that going on, I wanted a pony and a sleep over with my best friend. I am truly curious and in truth quite disturbed as to why these very young children are behaving like this? The more scary of the two news stories that caught my attention has to be the sexual bullying at school, ranging from a few sexual comments to out about rape! PARENTS - what the hell are you teaching your children so that they think its acceptable to do this?? This post really could go on and on about how lapse these children’s parents must be for such young children to be acting in this way but I do not want to get into that now. This is all pretty disturbing and I really hope that for the sake of the victims that schools and parents act right away to get this under some sort of control.

Here is the link to the story on the BBC Panorama website.
