Mean Girls Yet Again

Just when I think I can't be surprised any more, I am.

So Mrs. Eagle and I, who are usually at school by 6:15 which either makes us crazy or dedicated (I can't tell which most days) are up front talking to one of The Secretaries, when the phone rings. It's a parent calling to warn us about a potential conflict between her daughter and another girl on her team. Turns out both girls belong on Mrs. Eagle's team which causes her to shake her head and mutter, "only one more Monday", under her breath. She has, you remember, had the Absolute Team From Hell This Year.

Anyway.

Apparently Mean Girl decided she wanted to cause a problem for Victim Girl and went and posted Victim Girl's phone number, along with a description of a sex act she would be willing to provide, on the internet.

Victim Girl's mother reports that on Sunday they received 140 phone calls from all over the United States from people who wanted to hook up with her daughter so she could provide sex to them.

I don't know which disgusts me more, the fact that Mean Girl (who is very smart, but a brat beyond belief who wants to be "cool" and "bad") would do something so outrageously stupid or that there are at least 140 perverts out there, trolling the 'net, looking to have sex with 13 year olds.

My guess is that this probably appeared on My Space which is all my kids talk about all the time - they are on it constantly, and what I've seen on there really concerns me. (Parents? You out there? You know what you're kids are doing?)

In any case, I heard from Mrs. Eagle later today that Deputy Dude was processing paperwork to bring Mean Girl up on some kind of charges. Don't know what they are, but let me tell you, Victim Girl's mother was hopping mad, as she should be.
