Student making and selling porn.

[ladyscorpio]

BY KYLE JEREMIAH

Secondary school students are selling sexually explicit footage of themselves for as little as $5.

The fee is paid first, then raunchy sex videos involving the students engaging in sex acts in the classroom are transferred to the customer via cellphone bluetooth.

This was revealed at a seminar on juvenile delinquency yesterday at the Faculty of Social Sciences Lounge at the University of the West Indies, St Augustine.

Head of the Unit for Social Problem Analysis and Policy Dr Daphne Phillips said it was poverty-stricken students who made the pornography to sell in order to take care of their families.

Phillips said a study was conducted by her unit to expose the “real life conditions and experiences” of children.

Fourteen junior secondary schools were randomly selected for the study and the principal from each school chose one Form Three class as the focus.

According to Phillips, the classes then held group discussions with her unit as a main data collection tool.

“We didn’t moralise them...we encouraged them to talk,” Phillips said.

The students—most of whom came from single parent families—revealed the abuses which they endured.

Phillips said pornography was prevalent in the more urban schools, whereas students from rural schools preferred other means such as stealing fruits to sell in order to make money.

Phillips said they found that in one case a student claimed to have stolen a child to make money.

The findings of the study drew a link between violence and broken homes, and were intended to inform the policy makers in society so adjustments could be made to existing policies.

“Policies before were not really evidence-based...The unit tries to bridge the gap between policy-making and evidence,” Phillips said.

A proposal, Phillips said, would then be drafted and submitted to the Government ministries suggesting amendments to “build adequate social policy.”

Team member David Balfour presented the experiences of some of the students that were documented.

Presented exactly in the vernacular spoken by the students, a series of issues were highlighted.

Calls to Education Minister Esther Le Gendre’s cellphone were not returned up to late yesterday.

TTUTA responds:

In an immediate response to the study’s findings yesterday, general secretary of the T&T Unified Teacher’s Association (TTUTA) Peter Wilson said he was not familiar with the study, but acknowledged that it was a cause for concern. He said the Education Ministry had a Student Support Services Unit which could deal with social issues such as pornography in schools.

Wilson blamed the situation on poor parenting and a general breakdown in society.

Some responses by students to situations at home:

Some parents treated the girls like “housewives.”
Parents arrive home late, without helping their children with their homework.
Excessive abuse and cursing.
Parents go to “passa passa” fetes and leave their children unattended. Likewise, some parents take their children to passa passa and leave them to fend for themselves in the party.
Fathers, as well as mothers, sexually abuse their children.
Brothers have sex with their sisters.
Some situations in schools:

Teachers “sweet talk” and touch students.
Teachers videotape students to make porn.
Students make porn and sell from $5-$20 to help support their families.

Not good at all... I guess the only difference here is that we try to wait until they are 18 to get in the sex industry.

People are always willing to take advantage of the defenseless.

Yeah, like that cat who owns ricosworld, he had his site down because there was question. All the girls he shot were Caribbean, Cuba, etc.

You could tell though, and if you couldn't, and still liked it, you might have an issue.

He got his site back up, but there's no way he had papers on every girl he shot.

I remember there was some cat, a porner, that wrote an article about " Bangbus " and it's perceptional dangers.

Now we all know, they were paying girls, proper channels etc. But if you remember the beginning of it, the reality porn it was basically going into a poorer neighborhood and offering a woman money to have sex.

The Article writer was talking about this happening in America, as America goes down hill.

Age of consent in most places here in the Caribbean is 16 years old actually. In some places it is lower.

Age of consent in most places here in the Caribbean is 16 years old actually. In some places it is lower.

Its 16 in some juristictions in the U.S. as well. That doesn't change the fact that digital sexual depictions of individuals under the age of 18 is considered child pornography and should not be published on the net.
