NBCNC Report)
Two 11-year-old girls, a 12-year-old boy and a 13-year old boy were charged with obscenity which is a felony. An 11-year-old boy, who allegedly acted as a lookout for teachers, was charged with being an accessory.
Authorities said the incident happened March 27 at the K-12th school.
School officials say a teacher is normally in the fifth-grade class, but had left to attend an assembly inadvertently leaving the classroom unsupervised.
The class, which had around ten other students, was alone for about 15 minutes according to school officials.
"When no teacher showed up, the four began to have sex in the classroom with the other elementary students in the classroom with them," said Union Parish Sheriff Bob Buckley.
It took a day for authorities to find out about the incident.
"One of the students in the class talked to a high school student and told them what happened.
That student immediately went to the teacher who went to the principal" Sheriff Buckley said.
Why are young people and in this case fifth graders doing wrong thing. Check out a posting I did on my other blog on why kids are doing wrong today (

Could fifth graders having sex be the end result of safe sex education and the thinking kids are going to have it so lets teach them to do it safely. We don't do that with teeanger drinking, and drug use.
America and sadly even some of our leaders have embraced anything goes. We have kicked the Bible and anything of faith, or God out of the schools, but have welcomed the condoms.
I wouldn't put these young fifth graders in prison unless there is no other way to handle this. Please don't read me wrong this kids need to be delt with but the answer isn't prison.Perhaps these children should be put in a Christian group home which will teach them the right view of sex.
