On one side you have a pretty boy classmate with too much power who takes photos of under aged boys having sex, on the other side a totally apathetic school administration that won't do anything about it.
One of the things that I have got more and more frustrated with over here is how everyone likes to turn a blind eye to things going on around them. This is one of the biggest cases. This guy in our photography class is the "monitor" or class/teacher liaison and also of course a student. He openly takes photos of under aged boys, naked, doing sexual things and openly shows them off in class. Pedophilia is illegal here in China, and despite other classmates whispering things behind closed doors, no one will do anything about it. I have already spoken to 3 teachers about it and they said they will look into it and nothing gets done. Everyone I have talked to about this said if I went to the police the same thing would happen.
By the way, im not talking about a handful of photos here, im talking about dozens if not hundreds of photos. Even the teacher who was teaching the class at that time, who I am a friend with and have talked to many times about this issue, wont say anything.
Oh, and to make things better, a phrase that im getting tired of hearing from this episode…"you are American, don't worry about it."
Isn't there some sort of morality about child pornography in the world? I mean how in the world did this happen…
Ps. I confronted him about this and all he wanted to do was fight and tell me how the only reason an American would come to China is because he was a failure in America. How uncivilized...

Good luck.
If I was evil, feeling positively slanderous AND not caring if this guy knew that I did what I did - I'd make posters and post them all over the school... comparing his photos and writting a descrpition down of what child pornography IS in the Chinese law.. and what happends to people who do this. I'd shock the school into submission. I'd get this guy hella mad and then see what stupid move he'd make. I would admit to putting them up and make a very strong case.
But really... Weigh out the pros and cons of each move, Man. You can either do what you did above and surprise the cops... or have them know in pretense by bringing this to their doorstep. Also yeah.. dunno the rules of your school or the law in the area... don't want to be deported either.
And if anyone sez shit about being 'American' again - just throw it back that you're North American - or closely canadian... or something so random that it would throw them off. ;D
So wrong all this shi't is. Sorry you feel stuck... but I know you'll get outta it.
Question: Do you feel the apathy is just amongst the students and faculty of the school, or that the whole range of state departments (i.e police, medical, education dept, culture ministry etc) don't really care?
(Oh and yes you're right there is an international morality about kids - across every culture and religion people can at least agree that kids and sex don't mix)
I'm tired of living in a place where appearances are the *only* thing that matter. When will China grow past this? Now everything is in full form on the outside, but tortting and decaying on the inside.
That said, thank you, thank you for trying to do something. Speaking out is the first step. You're a student there, right? If you make too big a fuss, will they ship you out? Making a higher up actually *see* the photos in question might do some good, even if they do it just to keep you from telling more people. Making the school loose face.
Good luck, I hope you can find someone who will do something...
I just couldn't think of any worse crime than this.
But I guess I'm too sensible about that: I'm a 4 months father.
you do... whatever you can to stop this asshole
even if this will just be a drop of water in the ocean... some kid will thank you!
