Teacher sexually abusing student

  This is becoming unbearable, students are meant to go to school to study. Their teachers are meant to teach them, and what do we have these days? Teachers sexually abusing their students, this is so so sad. The other day, it was a video of an 11years old girl and a younger boy. Do mothers come online at all? How long will this continue? When will the right authority act fast on this? This and many more questions are waiting for reply. We will update you soon as we can on any info we get on this.

But sincerely we shouldn't conclude on what we see on this picture, but rather think of what would be done to eradicate such acts. Don't forget that it takes two to tangle.     My Great Web page
