Frankly, I didn't have anything interesting things to write about. But, I haven't write in my blog for almost two months now, so I guess I should write something so it doesn't feel like I abandoned this place.
I'm currently working in a community center in a housing development (yes, you can say that it's the projects) for the summer.The main job for me and the other co-workers are mainly to watch over the kids and do various small tasks. We all live in this housing development, so we know the people and the rules.
One day, a co-worker of mine saw a kid turning his computer monitor away from her whenever she approaches him, and there are other kids surrounding him. She suspects that the kid is watching porn. Maybe the kid was not cautious enough, he didn't delete his internet history. When we checked the computer, we immediately know that they were playing "sex games" on these computers.
Keep in mind that these computers are for public usage, and the people that uses these computers are mainly kids from 6-14.
Of course, we told our superior what happened. And guess what action was taken? Absolutely nothing was done.
There is a "board of directors" in this housing project, they were supposedly the representatives of all the residents living in the community. These board members were voted in by the residents, and they decide plans, improvements and such for the community. They are basically the aristocrats of the community, the management office and our superiors basically couldn't lift a finger on them.
It turns out that the kid that was watching porn was the son of a board member. Our superior didn't dare to do anything, even though the evidence is there and we all know that it's wrong what he did.
One of my co-worker was frustrated that the wrongdoer didn't get a consequence. The secretary was frustrated also. but he told her that this is the real world, and there's always a double standard.
Double standard indeed.
