Started off with one of my daughters classmates sister getting bombarded with them by a boy in her class (they’re 14)… to add to the drama there, the boys younger brother is also in their class which has caused some issues…
But then also recently, her friend from round the corner called her distressed because some random kid not even from around here, who is friends with two boys from their class, sent her pictures. They’re 11/12 ffs! And in message groups there are constant dick-pic references, and in a video one boy sent to the group (an innocent enough video) other male classmates are in the background shouting “Send her dick pics! Send them dick pics!!”
I really didn’t expect to encounter this at primary school. She’s off to high school after the summer and it’s surely only going to get worse  |
…we’ve really become more involved in E-Safety at Primary level more because of the age range of primary schools being extended with the phasing out of Middle Schools….it’s opened up a lot of safeguarding that we hadn’t previously encountered so much…and I have to say, quite a large amount in those two higher years of 5 and 6 and especially year 6….obviously there’s a lot more body awareness with things like periods starting more at Primary school ….hmmmmm, not specifically what you’re experiencing, I have to say that many related issues have been more with girl students in the content that they’ve posted and inappropriate sexual language and also with online bullying, we’ve mainly had girl online bullying and had to speak to groups and parents…we’ve had very little ‘boy related’ safeguarding in any online respect…so just a specific group thing…?…are the school being very helpful…?…
