Sorry if this was clear as mud . So, my daughter is in a class with the younger sister of the 14 year old girl, and the younger brother of the 14 year old boy, who are involved in a “more serious” case of multiple pictures being sent and other harassment (police involvement etc.) and this has caused some issues within my daughters class as 1) the whole class is aware of what went on and 2) obviously the boy is backing his brother, the girl backing her sister etc.

It’s unrelated to the picture my daughters friend was sent (by a boy their age) and the general inappropriateness of dick pic “threats”. There’s been a tonne of other stuff with the boys - discussion of (hardcore, often niche) porn, descriptions of porn they’ve seen, mimicking scenes and… err… dialogue? Also some incidents of inappropriate touching (boys using physical games to grope, basically) although that part at least was nipped in the bud.

The rest of it, the school has handled abysmally, I could honestly write an entire thread just in that. My daughter has obviously finished there now and my younger daughter is at another primary school, so we thankfully no longer have any direct involvement with the school, but they have been frankly shocking on various fronts. The head teacher has left as of this summer too, but I’m quite tempted to email the school next term to tell them what’s gone on this year, along with the messages and videos that I have saved, just so that they’re aware. There’s every chance the culture will persist with the current batch of older kids. Hopefully the new head will be more receptive than the one who is leaving - who wanted nothing to do with any of it.
