Mama Ladybug Well, children in an elementary school in Williamsburg, Brooklyn do.
A couple of weeks ago at P.S. 17 in Williamsburg, teachers gathered together five classes of children, ranging in age from kindergarten to fifth grade, to watch
Camp Rock, a Disney Channel movie starring the Jonas Brothers, in the auditorium. But apparently, someone had switched the DVD, and the kids were treated to a viewing of
Camp Cock instead.
Parents were furious, one saying "My daughter is 6 years old; she doesn't need to see that" and another said "I don't even kiss in front of my kids."
What do you think you would do or say if this happened to your child?

HAHAHA.
Oh man, I'm sorry. But Camp Cock? That's pretty funny.I would of course be furious though. But it was obviously accidental, not as though the school meant for it to happen.So I don't think it would be helpful to yell at the school about it. I suppose I would want to focus my energy on doing damage control with the kids.i would want to get to the bottem of it to find out how this happened or who did that terrible thing. I would be so furious and outraged. How do even try to explain that to your children at that age it can cause effects.
@cinderella_8@xanga - Exactly! Well put.
Assuming there was a teacher in the room, how much of the adult video could the children have possibly seen? I would think the teacher would have shut off the tv as soon as the title came up.
I definately wouldnt feel that my young daughter would need to see that. Im almost positive they didnt let it play very long AT ALL. I wouldnt be outraged or causing a huge scene about it. If my daughter had questions about it, I would answer them as appropriately as a young girl needs to be told for their age. My husband and I are definately affectionate in front of our daughter, always hugging and kissing. I wouldnt worry that she would be traumatized or anything. Something like that shouldnt happen, and yes, it should be found out why it did. I just dont feel theres any real reason to get your panties in a twist over it.
@PhatBoY113@xanga - Ditto.
...or at least shortly after the beginning credits enough so that the worst they possibly could have seen was a few minutes of bad acting. I have seen my fair share of pornos and for those of you too prudish to even kiss infront your kids, I'll fill you in: There may be zero plot to them, but they don't just go from title screen to straight sex.
honestly no big deal.....it was an accident and like every one has said, it couldnt have been on for more then 2 minutes.
Like it happened cant take it back...deal with it accordingly maybe even ask your child if she/he has any questions
Since I am sure they didn't watch much of the DVD I would not worry about what my kid did or did not see since they are 6 and won't understand it anyway or most likely remember. I would want to find out how it happened. As for people who are too scared to show their kids what love and sex are all about, I have this to say to you all:
Their boyfriends and girlfriends will one day teach them for you and you might get the chance to explain to your son or daughter what the good doctor means they first hear of STDs or Pregnancy.
So either teach your kids about sex and love when they are 8-11 years old so they have a healthy respect for it, or don't and let some other kid teach them for you. The choice is yours! I never understood the point of trying to keep your kid in the dark. It doesn't help them at all, only hurt. They will learn about sex and love, the only question is do you want it to be from you or some other kid who may or not know the truth and even worse doesn't really care etiher way?
*and yes I did see it was a bunch of 6 year old kids. But for the sake of love... @august_has_fallen@xanga kissing your spouse in front of your kiss is a good thing. They are not going to start having sex with people just because they saw you kissing your spouse!
@kieri126@xanga - well put! Talk to your kids.. you would be surprised what your kids think they know about sex! Just enough to make big mistakes.. and *to you who read this* yes I know it was a bunch of 6 year old kids
@fugita@xanga - I meannn 6 yr olds are very curious I have a lot fo younger siblings and I know my 5 yr old cousin Ethan would def. be asking ' Kirsten what were they doing?' 'Why was she screaming?' and theyre so innocent you just laugh it off and tell them an answer you find appropriate....like really mothers get out of your box!
kids learn one way or another and the kids who dont learn it from their parents often turn into the assholes girl end up hating cause they dont treat the subject with respect. or werent taught to....its no longer a taboo subject teach them young!!
@kieri126@xanga - I agree!
Ah, the American culture! Surrounded by violence, blood, and death, the country strives to protect the children from sex.
Dear me, I guess I'd rather have my children exposed to heads exploding, which rarely happens in real life, than sex, which almost everyone experiences.
(note: this is not a commentary on this article, exactly. just a commentary on the american way)
never ...
Ok I can't help but snicker at the title. I'm sure someone (? who) did it as a prank, and the teachers didn't let it play past the title or a minute or two of bad acting before scrambling for the eject button. If I did know about it or my kids asked, I would have just told them straight up in simple terms that a "mommy and daddy movie" (that's our term for movies the kids can't watch, generally rated R) was put in on accident (or as a prank) because they thought they were being funny that a group of youg kids like themselves would be watching something they shouldn't, it's something they don't need to see until they are older. We haven't broached what sex is in general, still working out how to do that one.
I feel for the kid who doesn't even get to see her parents show affection for one another though. Wow.
Well, just how much of the movie did they watch before a teacher caught it.
lmao this is hella funny!
I know people were sayin "the teacher should have shut off the TV" but come on, it's a school projector/television. I don't know about all schools, but my schools, and my college's, projectors/tvs/etc had so many problems, I would assume the teachers may have stepped out of the room for a second, or had problems turning off the tv. The parents should talk to their kids about secx, and the school should teach them about it now as well, since they were exposed to it.
but camp cock hehehehe (laughs immaturely)
@Mangonese@xanga - yeah, great point. Why sex is treated worse than MURDERS i have no idea
I'd be homeschooling. I'm sure many people would respond to me that I need to pull the stick out of my keester - but I fail to seen any humor in this at all, and honestly wonder what's wrong with you that do. Even if they didn't see anything because the teacher was quick enough to stop the dvd in time...the potential was there. And porn is NOT a proper way to have ?'s brought up. The older kids are already starting with hormonal changes and don't need more thrown on them emotionally, physically etc.....
@beverly4@xanga - I tend to agree with you here. There's no way this should have happened. Makes me glad I plan on homeschooling.
@mamaturtle - The minute or so of bad acting? Wouldn't that have been in the original movie too? XD
I would be pissed if this happened at my child's school (when he gets into school, that is). I'm not saying that children shouldn't be taught about sex, but at 6 years old a child should not be exposed to porn. I know the teacher's probably shut it off right away and all that jazz, so my concern wouldn't be exactly what my child saw, but how this all would have happened in the first place. Do they just leave the dvd player/projector laying around so the kids have access to it all the time? That would be an issue, because that's when things like this happen.
My biggest issue I have with this whole situation is actually the parent who doesn't even kiss their spouse in front of the kids.
I dont think my parents would have been too pleased if I or my sister have watched something like this in school.
@beverly4@xanga - bottom line. sex is everywhere. sex is natural.
they will be exposed to it one way or another...so it was highly inappropriate...ok.
it may not be the appropriate circumstance for a child to ask about sex but if need be and this does happen, I wouldnt mind answering ques if my child had any. And, this also a great opportunity to explain that this kind of portrayel of human sexuality is not right and teach your child what is respectable. do not be naive to believe that a 6 yr old is not naturally curious about sex....they know alot more then you think.
and your pt abt kids who were in the audience having raging hormones already....now do you think they are completely unaware of this stuff?? My 10 and 13 yr old brother KNOW so much is scary...I think it would be wuite the opposite with kids their age it would be good for something liek this to happen because then they can ask questions and feel comfortable with talking about sex. SEX should not be soooooooo taboo. This is how you get teenagers who dont use protection and girl who end up pregnant.
times have changed children arent as innocent as they were
@fugita@xanga - Thank you.
