Suddenly all sorts of people in China have Beijing (AP) - to sleep with the head teacher.
The unusual outpouring is as a response to a new flood of sex-abuse cases, including the head of the school, spent the night in a hotel room with four underage girls. Police officers, students, artists, and activists are even taking pictures – some nude and provocative made some nasty and threatening - with the message:
"You book a room principal, with me. Let the students."
The online campaign - mixing performance art, satire and indignation - has opened up public outrage about sexual abuse against children. It is a problem in China partly because of a lack of sex education and partly because Chinese society has become irritation after decades of rapid economic change and social change by traditional strictures.
Attitude toward sex more become lax, particularly striking powerful among officials, often identified, that are filled with very young mistresses and prostitutes. Children are vulnerable to abuse because she are not sufficiently prepared and can be easily intimidated by the teachers and other authority figures.
"Schools and parents have failed to teach how to protect our children who vaccinate rights and they" Xiong Bingqi, Deputy Director of the Beijing-based education think tank 21st century Education Research Institute. "If the children about their rights know, know they can call police if they are sexually abused and punished over the ongoing it will be sure to deter the criminals."
The recent sex abuse cases against children, the public have become should be a wake-up call for Chinese families and schools, said Xiong, noting that it may be just a tip of the iceberg.
The students "not can know, that they were sexually abused," said Xiong. "Or if they know, they say not their parents. Sometimes schools decide the police these cases without saying."
In a recent survey of Beijing 37.4 percent said news of the respondents that they don't know, as you teach your children to protect themselves from sexual abuse.
The national debate on the issue began a night early may, as a principal elementary school was caught with four pupils - all under 14 years - in a hotel room in the southern Chinese province of Hainan. Chen Zaipeng, the principal was fired and accused of rape.
The public reacted with astonishment to the high-profile case and have been reading with rage as at least seven more cases of sexual abuse by teachers or staff against young girls have come in the past three weeks the light from different parts of China. Some victims were at the age of 8.
In the past few years, there were occasional reports of government officials, the recruitment of young girls as prostitutes. The cases are usually as prostitution, treated, even if the girls are underage. Critics complained that such offenders be prosecuted, with the crime of rape of children, which can carry stiffer penalties.
Supreme People's Court of China this week against crimes against children vowed to proceed. The Ministry of education has asked that sex offender must be cleaned to the teaching staff "solid" and that those who help with leg warmers must be pursued. And the all-China Women's Federation has asked that severe penalties in all crimes against the girl.
The public but found an unconventional way speak.
Late last month went ye Haiyan, a feminist and advocate for the rights of sex workers, Chen's former elementary school to support his alleged victims. There were offers to a large piece of paper, "a room with Chen and instructed him leave the students alone", and gave a phone number, which was for China's rights hotline for women and children.
Its offer prompted many others follow suit. Beijing-based poet Wang Zang, who last Wednesday nude pictures of themselves with their backs uploaded is scrawled with the offer. In a photo, Wang holds children's toys in one hand and a bottle of brandy in the other.
"I'm protesting that the frequent crime of school sexual abuse against young students,", said Wang. "And I want to draw the public attention to the protection of girls."
Wang said that he believes that the recent cases are only a small part of the problem, because many powerful people has provided. Corruption in the education system is unsuitable teachers in classrooms, and China could laws adequately prosecution of sexual offences against children, Wang said.
Sociologist Li Yinhe sees the offer as a public statement. "I think it's a way for people to express their anger," she said. "It is also a kind of black humor."
An editorial in the Beijing News said the jibe has a serious message: "In each 'book a room with me' call, hear the public anxiety to save our children."
