Ok but if there no consequences for this it sends the message to every kid in the Future that this is fine to do. It sucks to be the example, but it is what it is
I didn't say not to have consequences, I just question which ones were used and whether they even address the problem. Hell, part of the problem in this situation was there were NO consequences initially because the adults didn't want to touch the subject of sex. They should have approached it from a therapeutic pov instead of a first ignore and then punish anyone involved.
I seriously doubt any kid doing anything like this is going to run across this news and think, crap, I better find another outlet for my urges. And as I said before, the tech is out there online and using conventional equipment in private, so kids are absolutely trying things out. This is the 21st century version of pretending Johnny doesn't have a Playboy hidden under his mattress because you don't want to talk to him about anything awkward.
