I was curious about details so I tried to search for more info and I discovered:

  1. there are so many websites that just posted exact duplicates of this article
  2. teachers being arrested for child fight clubs is more common than i thought

A lot of "local" news stations do this because they're almost all owned by two companies- Sinclair and Nexstar. If you add "-Sinclair -Nexstar" to your search it may filter the duplicates out.

that's useful info, thanks!

She'll be in charge of the department of education next week

I really want to know how old these kids were.

It's fucked up any way you slice it, but it becomes different flavors of fucked up if we're talking 17-year-olds versus 12-year-olds versus 6-year-olds. I looked it up, and the school serves kids from 4 to 18 years of age so no help there.

Those kids could have a decade long fight career before college

I might... if it was the rotten kids. could be win-win

let's be honest, in any large population of kids, there's gonna be one or two little irredeemable shits. they aren't victims lashing out for attention, they have loving families, well fed etc., nah, some kids.... let's just admit it, some are sick cruel little fucks. anyone who's worked with hundreds of kids at a time has seen it.

imagine if we could isolate these twerps before they drag down the rest of the students with their bullshit. and then monetize the proceedings via broadcast. probably more ethical than most sports, these kids wouldn't waste their youth trying to get to the big show and failing, they'll be on tv next week. AND, education will be funded from the broadcast rights!

hell, the games industry would probably love this too. licensed likenesses etc.

they have loving families, well fed etc.,

If they are still awful, it's because they are emotionally neglected or developmentally delayed

I dunno, I've met some real shitty people who had every opportunity and advantage.

ymmv. there are some really fucking awful people out there.

[–] bane_killgrind@slrpnk.net 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yeah I don't doubt those people were neglected, no discipline or consequences for being shitty is neglect.

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

you're welcome to whatever fantasies you'd like to imagine.

[–] tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago

Damn. They were just about to take down all the credit card companies.

[–] treno_rosso@feddit.org 3 points 2 months ago

That's crazy, she looks so frie...... nvm

[–] DarkShaggy@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Y'all have seen the movie Bottoms right?.....

Such are our times that people are relieved it wasn't another child sex club.

not much difference from the UFC, exploit certain fighters, especially some of them are still "poor" to make a spectacle out of them for the superstar from to time, and owned by a reprehensible guy too. i once said in a UFC sub, they should pay thier fighters more,.
