With help like this.....

Teenagers will be teenagers and nowadays are far more knowing than I was at the same age. I make no judgement about the actions of the three schoolboys who engaged in sexual activity with a fourteen years old girl - especially as I was myself sexually active at the same age - but I was interested in the comment of the private school they attended after being informed of what occurred; in particular

'...we worked with the families. As a result of those discussions, the boys are no longer part of the school community...'

In other words, the school expelled the boys. This may well have been the appropriate outcome but I wonder whether the families found 'working with' the school helpful.
