I'm still shocked they made them write essays, no punishment at all would actually be less insulting.
How does one even begin with a "I'm sorry I did one of the worst crimes imaginable." essay with a straight face? I almost wanna read the essays because I'm sure they'll make me sick and I fucking hate myself.
I doubt any of them went that far. There's no way they'd admit guilt in an essay. These kids have lawyers.
How do you right an "I'm sorry" Essay, without taking responsibility?
I imagine something like: "It's unfortunate that I got caught. Next time I'll be sure to keep the fun off electeonic communicating platforms. I'm sorry daddy, I'll be more careful next time."
I don’t undestand how they could even attempt to write something that shows any true contrition. Leaving aside the question of whether any of them actually believe that they did anything wrong and feel regret, wouldn't writing any truly meaningful esaay leave them open to procecution? (Although, I guess that would only br a risk if we lived in a world where the police and procecutors give a shit).
