[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So sad for the kids that were so violated, but I am equally sad for the kids who did the violation. They were probably raped in a similar manner and they did not think that what they were doing was bad.  To tape and put it online means that they will also be caught for child pornography.  I am quite sure that some kids were fearful that they would be killed if they refused to participate.

This is sickening on so many levels.  Feel very sad for DHS also. No one wants this kind of shame. [/quote]

I hate to disagree with anyone who seems as kind hearted as you, but no, just no.  I don’t buy that these guys, who violated a fellow teammate with a broom and posted it online, did not have understanding of how horrible their actions were.  To suggest that, suggests that they lack humanity and common sense.  [/quote]

It seems like the perpetrators were also under 16 from the reporting.  So we are talking about young teens.  I don’t think there’s any reason to think they were abused or raped themselves, but in terms of what’s “that bad” -[b] teens really don’t have the same brains as adults.  Lots of traits that are sociopathic in adults are actually pretty normal in adolescents.[/b]  Which is why they need supervision and are so vulnerable to toxic cultures.  They need to be held accountable for their actions, but they also need adults and older peers to set an example of positive ways to be in the world.  I am interested to see what the investigation can reveal about the coaching staff and the varsity team as well.  I’m somewhat disappointed the varsity team didn’t also forfeit their last game because when push comes to shove it is one team and they should be responsible for setting the example of how the JV boys see the team and team culture.[/quote]

Wait a minute, are you saying that stuffing a broom up your teammate's ass is 'pretty normal in adolescents'?

I didn't grow up in this country, thank God, but I have two brothers who played team sports, and I assure you, none of them could have imagined this scenario in their worst nightmare, not to mention, carried it out in real life. Something is deeply wrong here when, in this time and day, kids do this stuff and brag about it. 
And sickening adults, like you, are trying to normalize it. What if that was your child who was anally raped in a locker room?
