Can you believe it?

Someone just pointed out a news story to me about 4 5th graders in Louisiana who are facing charges for having sex in a classroom in front of the other students... Here is a little quote from the story (found on CBS news website):
Authorities said the incident happened March 27 at the school, which houses students from kindergarten through 12th grade. A high school teacher normally watches the fifth-grade class at the time, but went to an assembly for older students and the class was inadvertently left unattended, Buckley said.

The class, which had around 10 other students, was alone for about 15 minutes, he said.

"When no teacher showed up, the four began to have sex in the classroom with the other elementary students in the classroom with them," he said.

I don't even know where to start on that... How does that happen? They students weren't even caught by any teachers, one of the kids in the class told a high school student the next day, who in turn told a teacher. That is ridiculous. Seriously. When I was in 5th grade, I didn't even THINK about having sex, let alone doing it in front of my classmates in the middle of the classroom!?!?
