Officials: Middle School Students Caught In Sex Act In Class

HOUSTON -- Some parents in Fort Bend County are outraged after their children said they witnessed a pair of eighth-graders engaged in a sex act, right in the middle of class.

Parents told KPRC Local 2 that they received the unsettling news about an incident at Crockett Middle School in a letter that went home on Friday.

"My mouth flew open when you told me just a few minutes ago," Lubergha Munson said. "I didn't expect you to say anything like that. I thought you were going to say they were fighting or something."

The principal sent letters home with some students explaining a situation that was reported to campus administrators last week.

The principal reported that the students, a boy and a girl, made inappropriate sexual contact with each other while other students watched.

That was a shock for Tom Ray, who has a 14-year-old daughter.

"To me there are a host of problems and I think it starts at home," Ray said.

In the letter, Principal Corliss Rogers said that there was an investigation and that both students received appropriate disciplinary action.

The letter does not say where the teacher was at the time.

However, some concerned parents told the station that their children said the sex act happened once the teacher stepped out of the classroom.

"I think there should be more supervision. If that's the case and they have enough time to do such things, obviously there's not people there to supervise them," Crockett parent Gerry Banez said. "That's real disheartening."

What's also disheartening for some parents was the amount of time it took for the information to get to them. It's been more than a week since the incident happened.

"I would expect the parent to at least have a call from the principal if not the day at least the next morning. I don't believe there's any excuse why that wouldn't happen," Ray said.

Still, some parents said it all boils down to a lack of respect.

"No respect for authority, no respect for themselves, (and) not for the other kids in the classroom," Munson said.

Campus and district counselors have talked with the students who were in the class and will be available in the future if those students need to talk.

Kids today are exposed to sex at a much earlier age than ever before

It doesn't take a field of experts to understand why kids are so sexed up these days. Listen to the most popular rap songs or turn on MTV for a few hours and watch the latest rap videos. Almost every one of them have explicitly sexual themes, vulgar language and visuals - and this is programming aimed at 12-18 year-old kids!

Throw prime-time TV shows where almost every situation or joke is about sex into the mix and you'll understand why it's as bad out there as it is.

It means mouth flies .

“...What the hell is with sex in school these days?...”

Well, when Jesus Christ was expelled form the public school system, that’s when the real problems started. We can all thank Madalyn Murray O’Hair for that move.

Doesn’t sound like they were talking.

[kbennkc]

At least their parents taught them not to talk with their mouth full .

Unfortunately, Mr G heard a similar story about 8th graders in a school he does some work in.

My opinion? Too much availability of porn, both on cable TV and on line, and not enough parental involvement. 20+ years ago I kicked a neighbor kid out of my house who had obviously been watching porn.... and he was about 7 or 8. How else do you explain him doing pelvis thrusts and saying “hump me baby, hump me”. (obviously he didn’t play with my kids any more)

Not only do those channels not appear on my TV, but because the g-kids know how to get to *every* channel, they are locked. But, even so, my g-kids get way too much sex with the tv shows that are on, even the kid friendly shows and sitcoms on nowadays.

"I think there should be more supervision. If that's the case and they have enough time to do such things, obviously there's not people there to supervise them,"

Sometimes teachers have to step out of the room for a bit. ...for a variety of reasons. That's always been the case. So unless schools hire teachers' aides for every classroom kids are going to be alone on occasion.

I moved to Fort Bend County in 1980 to get my son out of the Houston (HISD) schools. He has a PhD in physics now so it was a good move. I sure hope the FBISD schools haven’t descended to the HISD level now.

What the hell is with sex in school these days?

Doesn't make sense. In my rural county, school was always "recovery" time.

>I was in middle school in the late 50’s and sex was NEVER talked about!!

I hit middle school
in the middle 60s and
even with all that

from the older kids
the wildest thing for us
was kids with hickeys.

their parents,

It was their parents fault, a teacher has ever right to expect that parents have taught eighth graders not to behave like animals.

Still, some parents said it all boils down to a lack of respect.

I see this as the biggest problem. Mainstream America has destroyed the concept of respect. The music industry continues to put out crap that is disrespectful to both guys and girls and the tv industry has a whole slew of shows which make parents look like idiots. Put that together with many parents' lackadasical attitude toward raising their children and you get what is currently going on.

Nothing that a good ol’ tax increase won’t fix.....

LOL! You owe me a keyboard.

Actually, the teacher is probably union.

Not in Texas! Texas is a right-to-work state!

This weekend of fun and frolic takes place in the shadows of the Nancy Pelosi and Diane Feinstein mansions. They should be forced to explain why this exhibition is allowed to continue in broad daylight with children in attendance.

Oh, but don't tell Nancy Pelosi this. Isn't she the woman who holds all children in her arms to protect them from stuff like this? And then she says nothing about this event which took place IN THE DISTRICT that she represents.

[mefistofelerevised]

Lol!

The ACLU is NOW keeping Chrsit out of our public schools and squares!!
