Sex education taken at little too literally

AP - Five fifth-graders in the US state of Louisiana have been arrested after an investigation into allegations that students had sex in an unsupervised classroom, with other classmates present.

\&quot;After 44 years of doing this work, nothing shocks me anymore,\&quot; Union Parish Sheriff Bob Buckley said. \&quot;But this comes pretty close.\&quot;

The alleged incident took place March 27, at the Spearsville school in rural north Louisiana.

Four students - two 11-year-old girls, a 12-year-old boy and a 13-year-old boy - were arrested on charges of obscenity, a felony.




An 11-year-old boy who was the alleged lookout was charged with being an accessary after the fact, Buckley said.

The class was inadvertently left unattended while the teacher attended a meeting, Buckley said.

\&quot;It's not clear how long they were left alone but speculation is that it was about 15 minutes,\&quot; Buckley said.

\&quot;When no teacher showed up, the four began to have sex in the classroom with the other elementary students in the classroom with them.\&quot;

The students, who were not identified because of their age, were released to their parents after their arrests because the parish has no juvenile holding facility, Buckley said.

\&quot;I'm sure they're like everybody else up here, shocked that children that age would be indulging in sex acts, especially with witnesses,\&quot; Buckley said.

\&quot;Children now are subjected to sex in music and movies these days. They are certainly are a lot more knowledgeable now.\&quot;

Buckley said it was unclear what a juvenile would face in penalties. For adults, conviction on obscenity in the presence of someone under 17 carries a $US10,000 ($A12,260) fine and from two to five years in prison

Myths and Facts about Sexuality and Disability
Many people believe myths about the sexuality of people who live with disabilities. Common myths:

People with disabilities do not feel the desire to have sex.
People with developmental and physical abilities are child-like and dependent.
People with disabilities are oversexed and unable to control their sexual urges.
Myth 1: People with disabilities are not sexual. All people—including young people—are sexual beings, regardless of whether or not they live with physical, mental, or emotional disabilities. And, all people need affection, love and intimacy, acceptance, and companionship. At the same time, children and youth who live with disabilities may have some unique needs related to sex education. For example, children with developmental disabilities may learn at a slower rate than do their non-disabled peers; yet their physical maturation usually occurs at the same rate. As a result of normal physical maturation and slowed emotional and cognitive development, they may need sex education that builds skills for appropriate language and behavior in public. In another example, paraplegic youth may need reassurance that they can have satisfying sexual relationships and practical guidance on how to do so.

Myth 2: People with disabilities are childlike and dependent. This idea may arise from a belief that a disabled person is somehow unable to participate equally in an intimate relationship. Societal discomfort—both with sexuality and also with the sexuality of people who live with disabilities—may mean that it is easier to view anyone who lives with disabilities as an ‘eternal child.’ This demeaning view ignores the need to acknowledge the young person’s sexuality and also denies her/his full humanity.

Myth 3: People with disabilities cannot control their sexuality. This myth spins off the other two—if people with disabilities are neither asexual nor child-like, then they perhaps they are ‘oversexed’ and have ‘uncontrollable urges’. Belief in this myth can result in a reluctance to provide sex education for youth with disabilities. The reality is that education and training are key to promoting healthy and mutually respectful behavior, regardless of the young person’s abilities.
