cpjitservices Posted August 1, 2012 Posted August 1, 2012 I think also there could be an element of peer pressure behind this ..... who knows - still they should be punished but there isnt a lot you can do to 10 year olds. I suppose a good talking to is in order to try and make them realise what they have done!
PiqueABoo Posted August 1, 2012 Posted August 1, 2012 I guess you'd have to hear it, but the bit I don't get is how, given the apparent length of the call in which lots must have been said, you might confuse a genuine three year old with a ten year old pretending to be a three year old. Think this might say more about adults these days than kids...

Think this might say more about adults these days than kids... LOL That being said, I was 24 when I met LeBoyfriend and we met in World of Warcraft when we were both members of a raiding team and when he found out I was a 24yo woman he was surprised as he apparently thought I was a 'squeaky-voiced 15yo boy' from the way I sounded on teamspeak... So it can be hard to judge, and if they were putting on a falsetto voice or are genuinely squeaky it might be easy to believe the person is a 3yo. I am MORE surprised that in the 33 minute call they managed to maintain the illusion and maintain a cognitive level appropriate to a 3yo as it could be easy to slip up and say something that a 3yo wouldn't necessarily have the cognitive development to come up with. So either they planned it, which makes it 10x worse, or they are genuinely stupid enough to pull it off. I'm amazed that if there were 2 of them, how come the operator didn't hear one of them laughing or giggling in the background? How do two 10yos manage to make a prank call last 33 minutes without one or other of them breaking down into giggles and blowing it? When I taught a year 7 class the girls were always giggling over something or being set off by innocent phrases such as 'magma that has cooled and gone hard is called...?' cue giggling and laughter 'tee hee... 'went hard'... giggle giggle'. Cue teacher sighs. There is still something really fishy here...
