Schools bar 4-year olds for sexual misconduct

UK: Hard to believe but children as young as four years are now being thrown out of schools on charges of  alleged sexual misconduct.

According to a report in UK daily The Sun, about 15,000 kids have been expelled from schools in the last five years.

"Schools in Dorset, Yorkshire, Wiltshire and the West Midlands have all barred boys aged just four", adds the daily.

"Kent topped the list with 705 children expelled or suspended. Birmingham was second with 582, followed by Essex with 451."

Apart from sexual misconduct, other shocking offences committed by primary school children have come to light. They include sexual abuse, assault, harassment, lewd behaviour, indecent exposure and possessing sexual material.

The misbehaviour is not limited to boys. Girls too have faced the brunt of disciplinary action in schools. A five-year-old girl was recently barred for sexual misbehaviour, adds the daily.

Experts blame children's early exposure to online porn as the reason behind this sharp increase in indecent behaviour at tender age. Some even blame sex education and say it is being taught to students too early to do them any good.

Mum discovers YouTube video of son in child porn channel

US: A young mother was horrified when she found a video of her son dancing in the rain wearing only a diaper, featuring in a child porn private Youtube channel.

The mother had originally uploaded the video on the website to share it with family and friends. However, sinister forces managed to get hold of the video, reports Daily Mail.

The mother was blissfully unaware of the cyber manipulation. The video had received about 50 hits. However, she was surprised when it received about 3,000 hits. She did not suspect any sinister doings even then.

It was only when a user from Sweden wrote to her saying that her video clip had been listed on a nude children private channel that she knew the situation's gravity. She immediately changed the status of her videos to 'private'.

The woman approached the FBI who were unable to help her as it was not a video that was shot by the man who stole it from her.

Now, the woman is working to making parents aware about the dangers of uploading their kids' images and videos on the internet.

Justin Bieber imposter forces girls to pose topless online

US: A 31-year-old man posed as Justin Beiber online and forced girls, aged between nine and 16, to perform sexual acts and pose topless online.

The man used a Facebook account to lure die-hard Bieber fans in and made false promises of free tickets to the star's concerts, reports Daily Mail.

Once the girls were caught in his web, the imposter allegedly told the girls to perform disgusting acts and he threatened to ruin their reputation if they did not comply. He also told the girls he would upload their revealing images if they did not agree to his demands.

The man was threatening a lot of girls from different states of America, including Florida, Virginia and California.

"He was charged with 10 counts of sexual exploitation, three counts of interstate extortion and three counts of using an interstate commerce in furtherance of unlawful activity" reported the daily.
