which school is this ?

When a mature adult persuades an innocent minor to have sex with him, it’s about his needs, not the minor’s. There’s a reason for the law about sex with minors - to protect children.


I was in NY once and due to jetlag, ended up watching TV the whole night. There was a rerun of a sting operation conducted by the TV station where 2 actors posed, one as a 9 yo boy and another a 14yo boy, on an internet forum meant for children. They started the conversation with "I’m home alone today". Surprise! There were a huge number of adult men who immediately set on getting the boys to reveal their address, saying they’ll bring toys to the house and have a little party there. The TV station and police were waiting as the men filed in with condoms and beer in hand. It was completely disgusting. There were at least 20 men, all waiting to have a swinging time.

Most kids don’t understand when a "kind, understanding" adult wants to be "good friends" with them. What’s worse, the adult would probably have toyed with the child’s emotions by appearing disappointed or being let down if she refuses. This is just completely heinous.

Thot normally the media reveal the offender’s name only and not the child’s name to protect him/her?

seeing so many negative remarks against the teacher leaves me :?


i always believe there's 2 sides to a coin. and the root cause can always be traced back to Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs.

:?

:? :? :? So which level of the need does having sex with a minor fall under? Physiological or self-actualization or somewhere in between?

must be within the physiological layer,

could be \"sex\" or \"excretion\" ,
or a mix-up between these two?
because some people don't know the difference between sex and excretion.

I dont think so leh - I dont think the chart has a \"deviant sex behaviour' included as part of its needs...

Can you imagine the NTU lecturer start lecturing us about the needs and start equating Jack the Ripper's needs into one of those categories!! :shock:

let's draw upon some experiences while growing up and see if it makes sense.

coming from a BIG family...where basic needs are constantly on my mind. even going to school was a big mental struggle..thoughts of putting food on the table was the 1st priorities on my mind, followed by monies to pay for utility...the last worries was going to sch and not able to pay for sch fees (mind you in those days, those cannot afford to pay gets humiliated by the principal in front of the sch during assembly).

once i overcome the lowest levels (by workg part-time), i started to ponder why my classmates had it better..parents attending their Teacher-Parent-Meet..parents to coach them...parents who are around for them.

there were times i felt \"unloved\" so should someone address this part of my needs, who to say i might not succumb to it?? but luckily i had surrogate parent in the form of my eldest sister who tries her best to take care of us though she is just 18yrs old and still schooling.

so for this girl, maybe her basic needs are well taken care but not her emotional needs. so when someone address this aspect of her needs, she might think that it is \"okay\".

we think that it is atrocious that the teacher apparently being the older one should not capitalize on his position and take advantage of a minor but bear in mind we are not in their shoes.

therefore, i feels that her parents should reflect and see if they have indirectly attributed to this problem. could they think that all needs can be financially settled or replaced?

for those who feel that CookiesMonster reasons are valid justification for such acts,
please remind yourself of the punishment for committing statutory rape under Singapore's laws.
This is an instance when I actually appreciate our harsh laws.

JMHO.


This has nothing to do with Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs.

Take away the indicatives, this is about an adult preying on a child. Intentionally, with malice.
