Seriously? Jeez. If this is true those poor kids.

Who could have predicted that unisex toilets for kids would be a stupid idea.
Sounds like the school really fucked up here by having standard cubicle toilets which allow zero privacy in schools. Ceiling to floor, is it really that hard? Unisex cubicle toilets work fine when you don’t have deranged psychopaths (see secondary school kids) roaming around.
If boys are going into the toilets and taking photos of the girls, looking over cubicle doors/walls etc, they need a serious yelling at.
Kids can be fucking stupid, because they’ve not yet fully grasped the “actions have consequences and everyone else is a human” mindset – but that’s literally criminal. Do it at a leisure centre or something and see what happens.
I don’t think this is a strike against Unisex toilets, as long as people are civil and respectful. But when people start taking the piss you need to come down on them *hard*, to firstly stop them doing it again and make it clear to others that “this stops now. If it continues we *will* go to the police/you *will* be suspended”.
The root of the “teenage boys are causing all sorts of problems to the teenage girls using the toilets” problem is less “the toilets are unisex” and more “the teenage boys are harassing people and doing actions that are illegal”.
Personal opinion, but I think Unisex bathrooms if they really stamped out the unruly behavoir would be fine – the issue is with the dicks who think it’s funny to do this shit and don’t face any negative repurcussions for it.
Of course, anything like that requires more staff, and schools are chronically underfunded – but I do think Unisex toilets could and should be fine *if properly managed*.
Unisex toilets for secondary school I don’t think is a good idea honestly.. I would have been so much more uncomfortable going to the toilet especially on my period knowing there were boys that could smell it, would know when you are unwrapping a pad etc.. Kids are brutal enough as is
Maybe we should have seperate toilets to stop this from happening,
As an ex-teacher, this isn’t anything to do with unisex toilets.
Unfortunately a large number of students simply don’t have the basic common decency, or sense, to be able to use toilets safely.
In the school I worked in we regularly had sinks smashed in, doors kicked off hinges, students defecating on the floor or in sinks, and more, simply because of a minority of awfully behaved students who have never been taught basic behaviour by their parents.
wow hey maybe it would be a good idea if we had different toilets for each sex?
Why is this news? Shitty (and worse) things like this happen every day in high schools across the country.
Is it trying to stir up distrust of unisex toilets?
Obviously it’s because of the unisex toilet, nothing bad ever happened in the single sex toilets at my school when I was a kid…
I hope that boy is arrested and the school is sued for damages. Her face could be permanently scarred from that and for what?
Unisex toilets in school are absolutely stupid and should not be implemented. Not because of anything other than the fact that kids are fucking stupid and act on impulse without thinking the consequences through.
Its also wildy creepy, alarming and inexcusable for another kid to be doing to this to others when using the bathroom. Let’s be real if this were adults the boy would have been charged with some sort of sexual harassment charge. Whilst he may not grasp the aspect of sexual assault and not intended anything like that other than “lols you’re on the toilet” it’s still not a behaviour that should be dismissed and overlooked or downplayed. This boy needs to learn some serious consequences for what he has done, that girl will never feel truly 100% safe in a public toilet no matter where she goes again. Even if she “knows” she is safe, just entering a public toilet will bring that memory to the forefront everytime and always be a lingering fear/thought.
Purely objective comment. This behaviour existed before Unisex toilets.
Unisex toilets are bad idea, the boy involved needs to be charged as an adult.
For years, people have been blaming all sorts of nonsense for kids behaving like little animals.
Blaming toilets is a whole new level of desperation. It shows just how insane and inane the ‘culture wars’ have become.
This isn’t a unisex toilet issue, this is a toilet facility not fit for purpose issue! FFS they have no locks AND the doors have gaps! Just make the toilets fully enclosed with a proper door with a FUCKING LOCK.
Teenagers (and everyone else) have the right to single-sex toilets. Kids especially need privacy during puberty with the onset of menstruation etc.
>Gemma, 40, said her daughter was injured after a teenage boy kicked the toilet cubicle door open to take photographs of her
He was trying to take pictures of her in the toilet and ended up cutting open her head? Expel that little shit.
I don’t think Unisex toilets for kids is a good idea. They’re not mature enough to deal with that.
I read that as a donkey kicked the door, I was wondering how the hell does a donkey get into a school
Whoever signed off on No Locks deserves jail time and I am not even slightly joking
Edit: Seems there used to be
People who think that unisex toilets are not one of the issues here are, fucking insane.
At first, I wondered why the boy was in the girls, then… Well all I see is a perfectly good reason as to why unisex toliets are a fucking stupid idea.
Fucking expell? No, lock the little cunt up.
The problem is feet. Take the feet away and we solve kicking
Need to sue the school for deliberately putting their daughter in danger.
Until there are real concequences for the offenders this type of behavior will continue to proliferate.
Is this why a lot of schools in the UK are locking the toilets?
There have been threads here recently about students going to the toilet.
Teachers like me took loads of shit from posters in this subreddit – calling us petty authoritarians among other things.
This is the reason why we don’t just let kids wander about school to go to the loo. A lack of supervision makes this sort of thing more likely to happen.
I don’t know if any of the people on this thread were part of the collective whine about school rules, but if they were, I would hope that they understand a little better why it’s important to listen to people who work with children to try and understand why things that should be simple (such as going to the loo) can be quite a complex issue where hundreds of teenagers are involved.
Why are all the comments blaming the toilets?

I got tormented in the toilets at school BY GIRLS. This is not a male-female only issue.
>Gemma, 40, said her daughter was injured after a teenage boy kicked the toilet cubicle door open to take photographs of her.
What the fuck. Why would you ever think that’s appropriate to do. That’s borderline sexual harassment.
Why is there unisex toilets in a fucking school. That’s just asking for trouble.
Schools need to leave toilets alone. No doors on the entrance and unisex toilets are a recipe for disaster.
They say the ‘safety of pupils is their number one concern’. Actually, pleasing Ofsted is their number 1 – the *compliance* of pupils is their number 2, and safety, well, that’s way down the list, buried in the sand with the school board’s heads.
Source: wife is a youth worker with lots of bullied and poor children. In our experience, the colleges/schools would rather punish a pupil for not wearing correct uniform, than go after the bully that made that happen. That’s a made up scenario btw. The truth is much worse.
This is why all secondary schools should be required to get the police involved when any sex crime, or assault that causes bodily harm happens on school grounds. Too many teenagers are way too comfortable committing serious crimes against people at school because exclusion is the worse punishment they are likely to get.
>Gemma, 40, said her daughter was injured after a teenage boy kicked the toilet cubicle door open to take photographs of her.
Sorry but this needs to be severely punished. If someone kicks your door in to take pictures of you…sorry but thats a serious offence even if kids just think its a ‘bit of fun’- it isnt. How its not a sex offence I dont know.
I honestly dont have a clue why people are calling for unisex toilets…I honestly dont see the value or the benefit. I feel so sorry for kids at schools that are pushing this social experiment on them.
Unisex toilets are a bad idea, if there are 3 options thats fine but when the only option is unisex toilet watch out
