Child-on-Child Rape (CNN News story) While reading the headline from the company's RSS feed, this caught my attention. This is just appalling. I don't even know what to say.

Aren't you possibly jumping to a conclusion? CNN certainly was given the headline.

It is because America has stopped having bible reading and prayer in schools.

Do you think it's possible that the girl "cried rape" when her parents found out she was having sex? Remember when the woman in the Duke Univ "rape" case cried "rape" when it wasn't???? Let the facts come out first, eh??

i dont care if she cried it, did it, or was put up to it. im more concerned that society has gotten to the point where the possibility of prepubescents being involved in these sorts of things is a reality. does parenting exist anymore?

imaginary concepts forcing sexual behavior where gratification hasn't developed yet?

It has been a reality throughout history. The only new thing here is that thanks to a thrill starved media, we actually hear about it under the guise of news.

I grew up in a small midwest town in the 50s and the first girl in my school class to get pregnant was in the 7th grade. So sex and juveniles isn't exactly a new thing.

thats acceptable these days. in my home town we typically had 10 or so pregnancies in the middle school. girls do mature faster than boys, but 8 and 9 year old boys? thats a bit young even to be choking the chicken. thats elementary school age!

I would argue that it's not technology that's at fault here, but rather lack of good judgment on the part of the purveyors of the "news". Nothing good could possibly come from that CNN story, it was fabricated from sketchy facts and shakier conclusions, and served no one.

So 16 a 17 year old got as far as 7th grade? That's impressive.
My head asplode!

Something about this seems extremely dubious. I don't doubt that three younger boys could have overpowered an older girl, but I think she's lying. Probably a hysterical society conditioning her to scream "rape!" at the drop of a hat. She was playing tag with them, and they just suddenly decided to rape her? Gimme a break... Anyway, if you think kids that age have no comprehension of sex, you're an idiot, to put it bluntly. It doesn't have to be society's fault, or the parents' faults - experimentation happens all the time. It's normal. You don't have to lock the kids up for five years for it. Which is another thing: who the hell would think that THAT was a good idea?! I think that it would definitely be better if everything was dropped and left alone. This act certainly doesn't mean that they'll turn out to be rapists or another flavour of violent sexual deviant. If, on the off chance that they DID rape her, and are heading down that path, there are far better ways of turning their lives around than gaoling them for 63% of their lives. Gaol just isn't a cure-all for any crime you could think of.

"does parenting exist anymore?" So long as society-as-a-whole is willing to continue pretending that the sort of fatuous reasoning (may Socrates overlook that misuse of the word) exemplified in the posts made by "WormBait" and "DemonChow" is reasonable and worthy of any sort of consideration --- then, NO, parenting doesn't exist anymore and things can only continue to get worse.
