So everyone by now heard that two boys did nasty stuff in the bathroom of the school and circulated the video bigging up themselves.

TWO FATIMA College pupils were suspended yesterday, after camera phone video of them allegedly engaged in a sexual act while in their school uniform began making its rounds on the Internet last week.

The video would have died a natural death had it not been for rumours that began circulating yesterday morning that one of the boys in the video had committed suicide. He in fact did not.

The boys, both in their early teens, were allegedly filmed in the school’s bathroom committing the acts and reports are that the video was filmed on April 13. Sometime last week, the video made its way onto the popular social networking site, Facebook, and from there an online debate on the issue began among pupils from other north-based secondary schools.

With the rumours of the possible suicide of one of the pupils involved, however, mainstream media got word of the incident.

Speaking with reporters yesterday, Fatima principal, Fr Gregory Augustine, confirmed that the (video) incident occurred but said he could not give details ’because I am guided by the rules and regulations of the Ministry of Education and we are dealing with children in mind and we can’t use names and details of what happened’.

’I mean, people know because it has been out there but the matter is in the hands of the Ministry of Education,’ he said.

Augustine also said the school’s Monday morning assembly yesterday was dedicated to the issue.

Hmm dem lil boys will be traumatized for the rest of their lives. Kids been doing this type of nonsense fuh YEARS, only difference is todays world we have internet, facebook to expose it more...these kids need guidance and someone to listen to them, they do nnot need ridicule and bashing from the public..I dont believe this act = kids are gay or will be gay for the rest of their lives..
Why would this even be put on facebook ??..I didnt want to watch it and i will not watch it...It have some stupid people on sites talking about this could tarnish Fatima reputation..thats all dem thinking about "Fatima reputation"

 

[LadyDeath]

Well thats all they are studying about yes their reputation because it is a prestige school and was one of the first elites or "for the upper classes" that were ever built in trini

 

[San fernando]

I hope people who have that saved in their computer know it is "child pornagraphy" and can be jailed for it..

As a past Fatima student, I can confidently say it is NOT our "reputation" we are trying to protect, but we want to ensure our Alma mater is not vilified and stereotyped for the actions of two young boys. Although there were advantages attending Fatima such as the "prestige" (which other institutions placed upon us - it is not 'self-proclaimed'), going to an all-boys Catholic school has its disadvantages, such as the constant abuse we get about our sexuality from other students and the wider ignorant public.

Too many people worked hard to make Fatima what it is to just stand by and watch it fall from grace by people who feel it right to judge, especially those who are saying same sex schools breed homosexuality. These guys could have done it anywhere.

Maybe when sex tapes are made in other schools they don't care, but we liked our school and we're willing to go out there and support it.

Peace.

I'm not shocked or surprised. Thats just what the kids are up to these days. Makes me sad.

 

[LadyDeath]

Well apparently the boys i heard were bigging up their school in the video and well ewww that makes me sick. I wished they were expelled for this because it is about the worst thing i ever heard video taped except for the gang rape incident yrs aback

 

[TFM]

I believe they were suspended for an extended time but not expelled. And although I did not personally see the video, someone who did told me they were not "bigging up" Fatima in the video. They just were wearing their uniforms which made it very easy for them to be identified.

Today i saw in video on FB from Shiva Boys where these boys were grinding up on each other... what the hell is wrong with "BOYS" these days....

 

[RauCous]

I heard it was one big student and one new form one student... that just wrong. I would've changed school if it was me... it just wouldn't feel right going back there.

 

[LadyDeath]

Well no one did see the video to know what was really taking place. These days many boys just sad they turning to homosexuality and have to hide it in public lmao

 

[ArbiterOfTruth]

Hmm dem lil boys will be traumatized for the rest of their lives.

Why would they be when THEY did it to themselves? They looked for that.

 

[shaniellachan]

Well all i'd like to say is those two boys had enough sense to know what they were doing, i mean to go as far as to video taping it on their phones come on they were fully aware an they made their decision.. an they will have to live with it now. The sad part is though, this will follow them through their life but again who made d choice!!! I hope god be with these young men an all the others who choose this part of life...

 

[shaniellachan]

just for the record i saw the video an it was truly disgusting.. i mean, i have seen gay men on the streets an stuff ... but actually seeing this video honestly it was on my mind for days... i think the end of time is certainly near... Pray people..

 

[LadyDeath]

To know that little boys have induced in this kind of behaviour makes me wonder what part do their parents have to play in this matter.

 

[RauCous]

Mindless self indulgence makes you gay..
