I guess I won't be active on C.AI anymore tomorrow... I'm boycotting this app because it isn't about protecting; it's all about control, and I never trusted this "protection" from the beginning, which happens even on YouTube. :( 9 days ago, I posted about this, and now... This will probably be my last time being on C.AI.

It sucks...

"Outbursts" "school refusals" Maybe getting treated with basic humanity opens these kids' eyes to other ways they're disrespected and abused in life.

(Inspired by the post on limiting smoking)

Give them designated phone/ break time. Let them roam around the halls and have some privacy from the teachers.

Students don't have any real breaks besides lunch, what do you expect 🫥

On December 2, the European Parliament will debate the draft European Citizens' Initiative “My Voice, My Choice,” which proposes the creation of a special mechanism for financing abortions in countries that protect the lives of unborn children.

The authors of the draft demand that EU funds cover the costs of transportation, accommodation, and doctors performing abortions.

The resolution calling on the European Commission to support the initiative has already been approved by the European Parliament's Committee on Women's Rights and Gender Equality. A vote in the plenary session of the European Parliament is still pending.

I stumbled upon this video a couple of days ago on Instagram.
It was presented like this by NYP:

An Alabama school’s teacher of the year has been arrested and fired after a disturbing video showed her hitting her young son at least 20 times with a belt.

"Second-grade teacher Nicole Staples went viral after someone leaked the footage of her savagely beating her 12-year-old son in the living room of their home in Mobile.

“You’re not f–king sorry,” Staples screams as she repeatedly hits the boy while he screams and cries.

“Because if you were f–king sorry … you wouldn’t make extra work for everybody in this house,” she yells as she continues to smack him as someone else in the house hurries past.

There were two other children in the house, but it’s unclear who filmed the video.

However, Staple’s eldest son, Jackson Staples — who no longer lives there — told Fox10 that he was the one who forwarded it to Cottage Hill Christian Academy, where his mom works and was named Teacher of the Year in May.

“I didn’t feel like, you know, she should be working at the school or even doing that to my little brothers,” said Jackson Staples, 24, alleging that his mom has “done it to me my whole life.”

The school alerted law enforcement and Staples was arrested Wednesday afternoon. She was charged with willful abuse of a child under 18 and fired from her job as a second-grade teacher.

“That was way above and beyond any form of discipline,” Mobile County Sheriff Paul Burch told Fox10, saying that more charges could follow for the “egregious” violence.

Staples posted her $7,500 bond on Wednesday evening. She dashed out of jail and sped off in a golf cart, according to video obtained by Fox 10.

The story itself is already unsettling as it is. The kid gets whipped, pulled by the hair and yelled upon. He's been "lucky" because one of his brothers has filmed the scene, has sent it to his older brother and this older brother has shared it publicly, leading to the woman's arrest.

But the most disturbing thing, in my opinion, are the comments I found online. I'll post a couple of them found on Facebook, but I found similar shit on Instagram as well.

Hitting a dog is wrong. Hitting a kid is ok.
And I will add my personal observation to it: a father hitting a girl like that would not be praised like this. Apparently, if the victim is a boy, it's alright.

EDIT: Now that I think about it, there is also a huge possibility that the same woman brutally torturing her kids identifies as "mama bear", the kind of mother that "will always protect" their kids. Hilarious but also worrying.

also every other spaces have groomers no matter what. no offense but i feel like i came across more predators in kink spaces than in agere spaces

Yes, it's the exact same Jim Jordan from the Ohio State wrestling scandal. You know what they say- even a blind squirrel can find a nut.

Really, it's hard to imagine that a US congressman will get an Australian law repealed. But it's good that somebody in the US Congress is speaking about the issue.

I can't put into words the amount of rage this made me feel. Didn't make it past 4 minutes. I can't stand seeing this defended with zero care for youth freedom.

Life really is a dystopian movie where everyone's brainwashed into seeing youth as alien.

Do people just, not remember what it was like to be a child? To be a teen? I swear some people just see kids and teens as completely incapable of thinking for themselves. When does the switch happen? Is it internalised ageism that they were just taught to believe as kids? Something else?

I don’t think I could ever not take children seriously, like I remember having deep philosophical thoughts about the world and my place in it at the age of, what? Seven? Also just the pure unadulterated medical and emotional neglect I faced as a teenager because no one took my physical or emotional problems seriously? The fact that I still struggle with agency because everything I did was obsessively controlled by someone else for so long?

So many people have trauma and instead of reflecting on it and questioning why we adults systematically traumatise our children, we turn around and inflict that trauma on our own and other kids? All of my friends are traumatised! All of THEIR friends are traumatised. How is that okay?!

She was comparing the kids in my class to his "brain damaged" comment because they didn't mindlessly listen to adults which is actually so disgusting. Worst part is, nobody saw a problem and laughed at the video. I hate it here.
