Kindergarten Sex Games: New York School Parents Of Five-Year-Olds Outraged (VIDEO)

Parents of a two kindergarteners at PS 189 in New York, N. Y. say a group of students 'explored their private parts' by taking off their clothes, and allegedly engaging in oral sex-like activities while the teacher was present, WPIX-TV reports.

While educator Dulaina Almonte told the station that teachers can't always see everything that's going on in the classroom, one parent told them they she doesn't believe the games could have gone unnoticed.

"They were exposing themselves and showing their body parts to each other. They were kissing and touching," the parent told WPIX-TV. "The teacher had her back to the children. She must have had her back turned away for a very long time for them to do the things that they did."

Despite complaints from parents, the inappropriate behavior continued for months the New York Post reports.

One mother, who has since transfered her daughter to a school in New Jersey, told the Post that school officials tried to place the blame on the students.

"They were trying to say that my daughter was inviting these children to do this to her," she told the paper. "Where were the adults?"

She and the parent of another kindergartener have filed notices of claim against the city following the events, each for $5 million in damages.

The school's principal as well as the New York Department of Eduction have declined to comment, the report states.

The "sex games" in the classroom come in the wake of similar outrage at Washington Elementary School in New Ulm, Minn., after nearly two dozen 5th grade students were caught playing a game called "rape tag."

In the game, the students "tagged" each other by grabbing each other's private parts.

After a parent reported the game to the school principal Bill Sprung, he immediately took action by contacting all the teachers and recess supervisors.

TO ALL PARENTS WITH KIDS IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS: BE VERY VIGILANT AT ALL TIMES

*the same exact thing has happened so many times but parents keep quiet to protect their children

*There is some very insidious agendas and research going on in public schools.. keep your eyes and ears open at all times . . . ask your kids questions every single day if there was anything unusual in school or weird/strange visitors. ..show up to school unannounced once in a while, from afar observe the "educators"/visitors who go in and out of your child's school... a kindergarten teacher once stated to me that she sits some kids together to conduct experiments.. it is an open secret that weird things go on in public school .. this is why some teachers leave public education because they can no longer turn a blind eye to all the research and weird things that occur in public schools. . this is why I placed my kids in non-public education.... public education is not free, your kids are being monetized, exploited, and indoctrinated via secret research initiatives and agendas . . .

something in this story seems fishy. NOT excusing this type of stuff happening, but seeing as the teacher was the one who reported it, tells me that this was a problem that he/she had been trying to address. Maybe she tried correcting the situation, but when it kept happening she decided to go to the principle for help. Even if a teacher sees inappropriate behavior, it's not always easy to stop it, especially because this is a red flag for abuse & often requires extra intervention/therapy. I had a child in my class that would constantly touch herself, put her hands down her pants, talk inappropriately to male students, I tried correcting the behavior, explain why it was wrong, but there is sometimes little a teacher can do to physically prevent something happening in a split second short of physically standing next to the child at all times, which is just not possible (again usually needing therapy/intervention before it will stop). Maybe it's a situation during "center time" (something NYC does where student go to "centers" and do activities independently with teacher intervention when needed) during center time if you are helping out one group, in a split second a child could pull down their pants & you not be able to physically get there quick enough to correct the behavior. Again, we don't know all the facts. Seems like the parents are in denial and that they immediately jump to a 5million dollar lawsuit makes me suspicious.

I found Haitian kids in the first grade having sex underneath one of the elementary school's trailers; it was not unusual to see boys masturbating behind books on in their pants; Ive had little girls come to school with pornography in their book bags; I've had teachers ignore little girls whose vagina's smelled from having sex and not washing or who have an infection; I've seen teachers stand around and laugh as boys got on top of girls on the dance floor having simulated sex; I've seen a teenage boy and girl having sex before school at 7 AM while standing up leaning on a fence...in Miami, FL. I was told that it was "their culture" and to mind my own business. When I tried to get the police or DCF to investigate they told me they no longer take case of child-on-child sex anymore. And you wonder why America's children are over sexualized to the point they cannot learn...its because adults allow it.

Kids are products of their parents. Everything kids are, are due to the adults who create the society and environment around them. Kids are innocent victims of the adults around them.
Adults are 100% responsible for all the sitcoms filled with crude and disrespectful characters, backed by laugh tracks telling audiences how clever it is to be rude, crude and snotty to family, friends and coworkers. Adults make up Victoria secret, America's Top Model, Every music video which is borderline porno--telling young kids that women are meat. Adult marketers sell clothes that say "juicy" on the rear end (even sold by Oprah). Wholesomeness and intellect is mocked as uncool by the dumb adults. So, now we reap what we have sown.

The parent should be monitoring what their kids watch on TV much more closely. I'm sure the school did not put the sexual ideas in the children's minds.

[JWeismonger]

08:06 AM on 03/25/2012

And just where do kids learn sex behaviors? At home...their parents scream foul mouthed curse words at each other, call their own children MFers all the time, they watch television in which there is sex and porn, and on and on...and its become so prevalent in school systems and on TV that there is no way to stop it unless this country becomes a fascist country and the radio/TV are censored...and parents punished. Kids are no longer raised by parents who care, they are turned out to be raised by strangers in day care centers and schools...or puppies. Women's liberation was a wonderful thing, except that when it freed them from child-rearing duties and responsibilities, it also meant that children no longer had a 24-hour mother to teach them human behavior. Now children act exactly like feral animals raised in some jungle without human parents. Aren't we all proud.

It is kind of hard to have a 24 hour parent around when the other parent might not take any responsibility raising ... It takes 2 to make the baby ... seems logical that it takes 2 to raise a baby ... raising a child is not a WOMANS job... both arecalled parents for a reason... BOTH need to take responsibility for their child's upbringing ... blaming this on women's liberation is asinine ...

I am glad you are able to make enough money to keep your woman barefoot, pregnant, and in the kitchen .. but in the real world it takes 2 incomes to be able to survive ... even then sometimes that isn't enough ... how dare a mother go out and get a job to help put food in her children's mouth ... the horror!!!

Ohhhhhh and what about those deadbeat parents??? You know the ones that run out on their responsibility... What are you to do then?? live on federal and state aid so you can always be with the children??

Children learn these behaviors by watching TV and movies.. being exposed to it by other children and teens ... and some of these children might be being abused ... Maybe instead pushing the blame to someone they should have the authorities investigate and make sure no one is being hurt by an adult in their life ....

[minniehahaha]

12:34 PM on 03/25/2012

What are you talking about? Television and radio are censored now. Censorship does not equal fascism. And why should "child-raising" be exclusive to women? Are a man's arms and legs painted on? They can do the job.

Children mimic what they have seen -- in their own homes. Perhaps the parents need to lock their bedroom doors so young, curious children do not see the parents' sexual activities.

[bestmugshots]

01:40 PM on 02/09/2012

Wow. There are a lot of posts saying this is normal childhood behavior. I was a very curious child but it never led me to participate in oral sex orgies at school. These kids clearly come from dysfunctional families. Blame the teacher, sure, but also blame the parents.

[kissmylips13]

02:33 PM on 02/08/2012

Well now, let's blame a 5yr old child/children for being a CHILD as we all know they are curious with their bodies. I am appalled this went on for months. The teacher must have been on the phone while it was all going on or maybe on facebook, ya reckon. This teacher should lose teaching license and do jail time. DISGUSTING is the word for this and SHAMEFUL. I hope the parents sueing win big time!!!!!!!!!! DO NOT BLAME THE CHILDREN!!!!!!!!!

[Max Shaw]

02:04 PM on 02/08/2012

All kids are confused and interested by their bodies. However, the teachers and parents have a responsibility to teach them appropriate behavior without abusing them like some other teachers in the news these days....the last part should go without saying, but apparently it still needs to be said.

My take? One of the school kids has experienced open sex at home.
Parents may be nudists and exercising their "rights" with the child in the room?
Now it's the school's fault? I doubt it.
Child Protective Services needs to investigate the home life of these children...
Something smells in this story.

You really think the children saw naked teachers at school?
Paranoia strikes deep. Into forum posts it will seep...
It all starts at home. The parents had the kid for 5 consecutive
years, the Teacher? 5 months, tops, and out of 168 hours in a
week, the Teacher has the kid, what, 40 hours?

It all starts with proper parenting...

Part 3:

More Americans need to get angry and actually stand up for themselves and their families, rather than just whining about things and waiting for some "higher authority" to start fixing this depraved culture. It's that "higher authority" that in fact, is the problem. We need to fire this government of corrupt career politicians and unionized school administrators; people need to understand that there is a fundamental conflict of interest when public employees can form unions, that are beholden to politicians rather than families. Government workers (including public school teachers) whose salaries are paid with taxpayer dollars, should never be allowed to unionize, as this only serves to corrupt publicly funded services and turn those economic models into government sponsored extortion schemes. Power Corrupts, and Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely, but what is more important, is that Power attracts the Corruptible. When government institutions become too powerful, they eventually become populated with corrupt bureaucrats, it's just a matter of time. Public school systems are no exception to this.

“Part 2:

This is why private schools are substantially better, academically, morally, and in terms of child safety than public schools. Our corrupt and unfair system of taxation perpetuates this perverse model of public education (funding through property tax). The only solution, is for citizens to force all Local Governments in this country to:
1) Independently audit "public" schools, root out their financially corrupt practices, fire and then prosecute for fraud every school superintendant and administrator who has thereby been exposed
2) Cancel teacher union contracts
3) Privatize the public schools and have parents pay tuition for their children’s educations instead of paying property tax
4) Then, eliminate property taxation altogether and restore the true meaning of property ownership.
The benefits to families would be phenomenal. We would have: better quality education from schools that are fully accountable to those who pay them (parents), and hard-working parents would finally be able to truly own their home per the real meaning of the word “ownership”. Imagine for just a moment, what would happen to the long-term sustainable market value of your home, if there were no property tax levied against it, ever. Until Americans wake up from their coma, and realize they are being fleeced like sheep, by their Local, State, and Federal corrupt politicians, that our property rights have been systematically eradicated, that our labor is being confiscated from us against our will; then the unintended consequences of our equally corrupt public education system will continue unabated.”

[littlenietzsche]

Interesting I like the idea of getting rid of property tax because I own property and I am tired of paying for things I don't use like roads, fire departments, police, or EMS. Of course your assumption that

Of course after reading all of your "parts" it seems like you are less concerned about education and more concerned about not paying taxes ... I don't blame you I hate paying taxes too.

[doriadiver11]

05:37 AM on 02/09/2012

It is not taxes in general to which I take exception. It's the FORM of taxation that is important. Of course, a government requires funds, but funding for roads comes from gasoline taxes, and commercial road use taxes, NOT property taxes. Those are consumption taxes, and they are perfectly fair and moral; since an individual can CHOOSE what and how much they consume. Emergency services and police can be funded by other means and other forms of taxes, but taxing an individual's home and labor are fundamentally immoral; because it is a tax on the only means that an individual has to survive. Allowing a powerful government to tax property and labor are incompatible with a free market system, because it enables a corrupt government to use unfair taxation models to control the labor market and to control (albeit indirectly) all property rights; which are the antithesis of free-market capitalism. It's for this reason, that Karl Marx in his Communist Manifesto, clearly described the pre-conditions for destroying capitalism with socialism to include: "free education for all" (ignoring the FACT that nothing is actually FREE), along with a central bank having the authority to manipulate the money supply through a fiat currency system. Power Corrupts, and Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely, but more importantly; Power Attracts the Corruptible, which is why limiting the powers of government is necessary in a free society. A powerful government, will always become corrupt, it's just a matter of time.

“Part 1:
This is a consequence of our public school system's corrupt model. Public schools aren't accountable to the parents of the children whom they are supposed to be educating. They’re not concerned with the quality of your child's education, their safety, the morality with which they're mentored, nor the quality, morality, and professionalism of their teachers. Schools instead, are accountable to the corrupt politicians and local governments who provide them with "public" funding (your tax dollars) in return for political favor garnered from equally corrupt school administrators and teachers' unions. They confiscate your property tax revenue through their legalized form of extortion under threat of seizure of your home, and after lining their pockets with a substantial portion of it, use what's left over to fund the schools. They do this so that if any self-respecting home "owner" objects, they can then claim that that home"owner" is "against education"; or "against children". The irony being that it is those same corrupt politicians who are willing to make those children homeless unless their parents pay up. As long as "public" schools are funded in this way, they will never be accountable to parents of the children they are supposed to be educating and protecting, and no one in this country will ever be able to truly own (per the real meaning of “ownership) their home without the specter of its being seized for non-payment of the tax levied against it, by corrupt politicians and school administrations.

Interesting what about states where there are very weak or no teacher unions and you have teachers that do bad things ...do we still get to blame the union?

[Nonnie22]

11:31 AM on 02/08/2012

In my experience as the mother of a child in public schools, the amount of contact and cooperation the parent offers the teacher vastly increases the level of accountability as well as the quality of education that ones child receives. I'm not sure when the idea that, as parents, we could turn over our children to a group of strangers for 6-7 hours a day for 12 or 13 years and never get involved, came from ... but I saw it as far back as the 70s to mid-80s.

Along with involvement in ones child's education comes a level of respect between the parent and teachers throughout the years. That increases the teachers' respect for the child. The outcome is a better education in academics, as well as in those less tangible areas. There is also the gentle message that those teachers work for you. You and your child are the reason they have a job.

Now, am I a proponent of continuing to throw money at teachers and public education institutes? Absolutely not. What I do propose is parents becoming more involved and teachers being accountable for their skill and their behavior. Perhaps the poster of your first reply is correct and teachers' unions have more to do with the latter than is healthy for education. Overwhelmingly I found that teachers want to teach. That's what they do. But teaching isn't an island. It requires support from the parents of the children in the teacher's class.

[doriadiver11]

06:03 AM on 02/09/2012

Your statement is thoughtful, with some valid points, but some of them contradict reality. You "propose teachers be accountable for their behavior". Do you believe that when teachers' salaries are funded by a government bureaucracy, rather than directly from parents of the children for whom they are responsible, that teachers will actually put parents' wishes before the government fat-cats who pay them ? If you believe that, you're being innocently naive. Furthermore, indeed, there are some dedicated teachers out there; but as time marches on and our society becomes more entrenched in the entitlement culture; more and more people get into the public school system mainly to collect an inflated union salary and benefits, while having a 6-hour work day for 9 months out of the year. When you set up a system that is exploitable, the exploiters come running to join it. Stating this reality is unpopular, but it is a truth nonetheless. Unfortunately, most of the sheep in this country would rather spew a bunch of fluffy nonsense, pretending they live in a benevolent utopia; rather than speak the unvarnished truth. The FACT is that there are two basic kinds of people in the world - producers and parasites; the parasites will always gravitate to institutions that provide them with an economic model which enables their parasitism, and always at the expense of the producers. The tax-funded public school system is a perfect example of how such entities over time, incrementally degenerate into fundamentally corrupt institutions.
