@Aman9das

The next libreplanet is living liberation this may be a good topic of discussion

if you e-mail campaigns@fsf.org they are still looking for talks at Libreplanet 2022 could be a good way to reach out to the community.

Burocrats cont understand technology

@fsfe Will this be added to the resources we can get from the fsfe website ?

@watson They make money from taxes on these foods, banning them would not make financial sense,

esp in a country with private health care, in the UK the taxpayer funds the NHS (Healthcare)

@Phil I think self defense classes would be good here, you can learn how to disarm people without causing much damage to them, other than to their pride .

It can be over in seconds, and sends a message.

Problem with the fight fight thing is here in the UK many kids seem to carry a knife your child could come off worse.

Still needs to be reported, and if the School head fails to give a satisfactory response go to the education authority and make a complaint.

This is a big issue in the UK so much so this website was set up

https://www.everyonesinvited.uk/

so victims can record their experiences.

@Phil

Teachers are meant to be committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people, in many caase their hands seem to be rather tied. ,

I kinda agree with don't fight back esp if the other person is bigger.

However a good kick in the right place will cause any rapist / sex pest to think twice. Not that I am advocating violence.

Ideas

1. Say NO in a loud, clear assertive voice

Write down what has happened ASAP and report in writing keep copies of everything, dated etc.

That should be enough, at least the school know what has happened

The next time you can use physical means to make your point. And say you have said NO

People need to learn NO means NO sadly this is not taught by many parents. Children and kick / scream, they get what they want to keep em quiet. Parents find it easier.

Of course at one time teachers used to hit / cane people so the same rules that stop them caning you, are the same rules that stop them caning the person who tries to touch you in an inappropriate way.

Back then parents would give you a smack after saying NO to emphasise the fact they said NO

I am not sure what the solution is really. We can't keep blaming the internet, kids get on to these websites but it is parents should should be monitoring use etc and setting down rules.

@pamby1 @Phil Yet another reason to get safeguarding / mental health etc on here, people to share this work with.

@pamby1 @Phil Yes we need to all stand together to fight abuse, it is the only way it will be stopped.
