What the Fork is going on in Utah?

Two boys at Forbes Elementary School in American Fork, Utah, are in trouble with the law after accessing porn on a school computer and showing it to their friends.

The Daily Herald reports that the 11-year-old fifth graders had a difficult time breaking through the school’s filtering system, but using good old American ingenuity, they finally succeeded.

The boys then called over nine of their pals to watch, and salivate.

Should the boys face detention? Maybe. Suspension? Probably not.

But this is Utah. Police Sgt. Gregg Ludlow said the incident is being investigated. Misdemeanor charges or a third-degree charge of dealing in harmful material to a minor, are being considered.

Rhonda Bromley, spokeswoman for the Alpine School District, said that if the boys are charged they will be charged in juvenile court, which is somewhat encouraging as they are eleven.

“If they’re having a problem at such a young age,” she said, “that’s a concern.”

She added: “The whole goal behind juvenile court is rehabilitation.”

Rehabilitation?

Whoa.
