Rape threats reported to mothers, one mother replies

Only trash ?knock sense? into their kids. A good parent can talk sense into their kids, or at least use different punishing tactics other than beating.

Do I have to bring up those words again?

No, you don?t, because I?m not telling anyone how to raise their kids. But I will openly call a parent that beats their children ?trash.?

Unless they put gun in my face.

There is a difference between firm, contextualised physical discipline and a beating.

Of course, and I would put ?knocking sense into a kid? in the latter category.

It might work sometimes, with some people. And honestly, a lot of people say those sorts of things online that they would never say to someone's face because they think they are anonymous and can't be reached/touched. This sort of thing lets them know that, no.. You aren't hidden. You can be found. You can be made to be responsible for your words and actions. That will probably do a lot more to scare these people than their mom calling them.

Eh, I think that's just taking hyperbole at face value, which does nothing but aggravate blood pressure

I guess the lesson to be learned here is: never use real information for anything on the internet.

If I had a kid who did this sort of shit I would throttle the fuck out of them.

For the Side-Topic: Though my family is Muslim (We're Pakistani) and we don't believe in Homosexuality as something we should aspire to, we don't mind people who are.

We're quite a Liberal family in that regard, no headscarfs, no stupid religious bias against others and especially not letting people bully each other for silly reasons.

As such, though I'm not homosexual or bisexual myself, I was raised to be tolerant of everyone and anyone.

So even if the parents don't like it, common civil manners are still in order for everyone. It's not like they're FORCING people to be gay, just asking people that they not try to lynch them for it.

I'm pretty sure my mother would give me a slap across the face if I tried having a bias against any single person for something as trivial as preferences or nationality when they don't affect me one bit(Excluding anything going in to Pedophilia, Hebephilia and the likes).

That's my two cents on it.

For the Original Topic: I've made it my mission as a failure of a 15 year old (Sure the grades are picking up from Ds to As and Bs in everything but Chemistry after the disastrous jacking of the curriculum of my 7th and 8th grade classes that have hindered me so) to make sure my little brother is brought up properly.

I find jokes like Pedobear or any other kind of rape jokes as awful and disgusting. To the point where I'm up and ready to start smashing pricks with chairs.

I'm hoping he's realized this too, because if he hasn't then I'm not going to let him off for it.

I know that he can be a good kid, but a real pain in the ass. He hasn't reached the point where he's watching porn already (I have friends with younger siblings that do this) or anything else of the sort that he's too young for. He knows to control his language because swearing just makes him look like an idiotic brat. And he knows that he should help whoever is in trouble.

Though I can't help him all the time and his friends show themselves as increasingly idiotic because of what their parents teach him, I think my little brother is doing a good job in today's crapfest where kids act like gangsters to look cool.

I think our parents raised us right, even if I'm not the most ideal person ever and he still has alot to learn. There's plenty of room for it.

Plus not all kids are that bad, they can be quite well mannered as well as playful without annoying the shite out of everyone.

I'm not one for child abuse but if I was the father of that kid I would knock some sense into him. ? Only trash use rape threats.

Only trash ?knock sense? into their kids. A good parent can talk sense into their kids, or at least use different punishing tactics other than beating.

I find it absolutely ridiculous that you say ?I?m not one for child abuse,? and then say that you?d physically abuse the kid if he was yours.

Yeah I was pissed off when I wrote that. Was having a shitty day. Still that teen needs to get severly disciplined. Clearly the parents of these kids did a pretty piss poor job of raising them. If someone's kid is sending rape threats to someone else it means they failed as a parent.

Oh, I wouldn?t go so far as to say that. Kids learn a lot of bad things in public school. If the kid starts hanging out with the wrong crowd in school it could cause problems that is difficult for the parent so counteract without causing family friction, *especially* with teenagers. Parents (sadly) don?t teach their kids everything. And the fact that the mother was shocked and said she would take immediate action says *something* about her character as a parent. A failure of a parent wouldn?t even bother disciplining their children. Still, calling her kid a ?little s***? says something *else* about the mother?s character as well.

...Or else when you threaten to rape someone, that person might tell your mommy?

I dunno, seems simpler to just not threaten to rape people in the first place. I have to imagine it would severely cut down on the number of people looking for one's mommy in order to tell her about the rape threats.

I was being facetious, but honestly, you probably shouldn't use real information for things on the internet anyway.

*Snort* This has got to be one of the most hilarious things I've ever seen. Shows how some people are convinced of how tough they are when they're behind a keyboard.

Chances are no kid has ever edited their Facebook privacy settings so quickly before.

Even then, you gotta watch your ass. My girlfriend's brother got in trouble because someone took screen shots of his Nazi moments. And I mean Nazi. Not that I'm saying it was wrong, because it wasn't. It's just....you're not safe even when you're speaking with friends.

Some REALLY regressive shit, which is probably why some of my classmates were saying some awful things about homosexuals over the phone. But those parents in particular were an education for me: A white queer girl who had parents who had steadfastedly made the leap from lower-income to middle-class, I had this idea that racism, sexism, and homophobia were "old" things, and that these days most everyone was cool with all that, because my parents and their friends were cool with all that. I was shocked to discover this kind of thought in our liberal, West Coast town. I wouldn't understand for a few more years that rape culture, racism, violence, homophobia, and the rest of those awful things were subtle enough to influence even the most liberal of communities.

I get where you're coming from, sadly. I live in Vermont, a super-hippie state where people sort of get the idea that these things aren't really an issue. Hell, I live between two of the largest per capita gay communities in the US. Bu part of the dirty little secret is that a lot of it simply didn't come up. When Vermont legalised same sex civil unions, you could suddenly see the antis. And they were everywhere. There was this whole "Take Back Vermont" campaign which was ostensibly about taxes but didn't really get started until same sex marriage and a lot of people didn't even bother to hide it. It's sort of paralleled to a certain event in gaming right now. I've been assaulted, including sexually, for "acting like a fag," and lost a friend because I sort of unintentionally came out as trans. Ironically, a friend who was a huge activist in the LGBT community. And it isn't just us, either. South of the border in Massachusetts, some of my friends went to school with a kid who got "HOMO" carved in his back in four inch letters for liking Queen.

And since you bring up things like race, that didn't seem like an issue until some black people actually started living here. We remain one of the whitest states in the US, so racism was always sort of this theoretical thing from the past that was ended in the 60s or 70s. But then a black guy moved into my dad's apartment building, and people started harassing him. My dad woke up to a "lynched" dummy outside his window once, because besides being racist they were apparently bad with directions. We had a similar incident at one of the schools here, and a debate over whether it was appropriate to fly the confederate flag at another. And hoooo my GOD, have I seen a bunch of racist crap since Obama got elected. And then there's anti-Jewish and anti-Muslim sentiments. I grew up with a Jewish kid and never knew that his family apparently got harassed for being Jewish. Then again, when I was younger, I didn't even quite understand what "Jewish" meant.

My captcha is reminding me that this is Sparta.

Google maps says this is R'Lyeh. I think Capthca is off.

So you advocate violence against children? Real arbiter of morality you are.

You know, it's bad enough that you made up crap about my supposed support for Ubisoft, a faceless corporation, but I'd appreciate it if you not turn your lies towards a fictitious advocacy of child abuse.

Yup, that's part of the problem in this town. Very white liberal, so they're all super progressive in theory, and on paper, but put them to the test and you'll see them clutch their purse and cross the street when they see a black person... at the very least.

 

[Something Amyss]

Someone commented that violence against kids wasn't the answer, and you responded "do i have to bring up those words again" those words referring to "don't tell me how to raise my kids". You responding to someone saying "don't beat up your kids" and you responding back "don't tell me how to raise my kids" implies you support child abuse.

Only if you ignore the previous part. The one you had to quote to understand what the nine words were.

My "lies" will stop the moment you stop supporting and enabling disgusting things.

And I can't stop what I'm not doing, so stop pretending I am.

 

[The Bucket]

I'm rather concerned that it's so easy for people to find the contact details for minors and contact them directly.

He sent the message over facebook I believe and she contacted the mother over it as well, not really that difficult

 

[the December King]

That was hilarious, and at the same time could really help in the fight against a lot of this kind of slander and hostility. Not as a fix-all, as others have pointed out- it won't necessarily work in all situations, like if the parent becomes overtly defensive and takes the complaint as an accusation of bad parenting, or actually believes their child hasn't done anything wrong, for example. But I'll bet it'll work in some at least, and anything that helps cut down on such needlessly hostile crap, at the very least among minors, is a welcome approach.
