don´t get overexcited BM,just read about rape on 8 year old in English primary school)AE stop reading Trudy´s essays- the education system needs you)

 Sometimes it seems as though the world has gone mad!  Did this happen in the school?  Where were the teachers / parents / adult supervision? 

 Lis calm down!!!do you really know what your kid is doing 24/7?

do you? and if not what kind of a parent,superviser,or a teacher u r?

such things happen and it is not possible to prevent them if brads do not want..the question is that these brads were not paying attention at pre-family classes or not sent to them since not obligatory here.

one of my students-17 years old got pregnant bcs her boy friend told her sex without condom is safe..trust me,i know what i am doing...well not counting her fertile days..

Lis - I don´t think it happened at school, probably at some kind of a party while parents were out. And it is shocking!

Ptaszek - sexual education was not a subject when I worked at school, is it on the curriculum now? I think lack of proper education leads to deviations. These days children have access to the Internet, which, consequently leads to perceive sex as porn (which it is not!). On the one hand, most Polish kids go to religion classes where they teach them that it´s a sin, a taboo and a thing people don´t talk about; on the other, the natural curiosity and too easy access to materials that shouldn´t be watched before certain preparation, confuses them.

(BTW, wasn´t the 8 year old you´re talking about lying about being raped by two ten year olds?)

That´s why I believe proper grounds of intimate relationships should be taught during classes not biased religion-wise.

Well, if there is one thing I do know about kids...if you make something a taboo, they will almost surely do it!  I just think it is a shame that sex education is left to the schools.  Of course it is better taught at school than from porn sites/magazines, etc...but it makes me wonder... WHAT ARE PARENTS DOING? 

As most of us parents worry about other people doing things to our children, I think we forget that we must also save them from themselves.  

Unbelieviable!

Curry chef in court accused of killing swan for food 

A curry chef appeared in court yesterday accused of killing a wild swan for food.

Mohammed Miah, 29, pounced on the bird and was later found with blood and feathers on his hands, and the swan in a bin bag nearby, Bedford magistrates heard.

....

He said: ‘The case raises interesting legal points whether the swan belongs to anybody and whether it needs to belong to somebody to be stolen, and whether the Queen is the owner of the bird.

..

The chairman of the bench, Michael Hine, granted Miah bail on condition that he does not go to the embankment in Bedford, unless to cross the river by one of three bridges in the town.

would it be better to steal?

So was he arrested because he killed a swan or because he stole a swan? or both?  What a strange story. 

 Swans are protected birds in our country and should not be killed, if you do you pay the consequences.  They are magnificent birds and so many are being killed these days because migrants think they can kill them and eat them, without knowing the law.  They are known as the Queens birds because they belong to the crown.

So serve him right!  Go kill pidgeons instead, there are thousands of them.

There are some historical quirks, one of which is that the Monarch owns all wild swans living in open water - of the species called ´mute´ swans. Other species of swans, and those owned by individuals are not owned by Her Majesty.

 Ok....thanks for the explanation.  Aside from the fact that I can´t believe someone would kill a swan for food, I didn´t realize they were "property" of the Queen. 

Yeah, and we are her subjects

me too never heard of swan eating.
