Alleged 'Wedgie' Hazing Sends Boy To Hospital
local6 ^ | March 26, 2007

Two Georgia teenagers were recently arrested in connection with what one student's mother said was a high school hazing ritual, according to WJXT-TV.

The woman said members of the Charlton County High School golf team gave her son a contusion so painful she had to take her 13-year-old to the emergency room for treatment.

She said the prank has made her son afraid to go back to school.

The 13-year-old did not want to be identified, but his mother, Carol, agreed to talk about the incident because she said other parents should know what happened.

"Sometimes people don't know when enough is enough, and I think that's what happened here," said Carol.

Her son plays on the junior varsity golf team for the school. She said he was riding the bus with the varsity team when he became the victim of a sports initiation hazing ritual.

"He actually heard them saying, 'Who's it going to be?'" Carol said.

She said the boy was called to the back of the bus by two older high school students and that they picked him up by his boxer shorts and held him upside down. She said that's when the torment really began.

"It was so extreme it ripped his boxer shorts in two," Carol said.

It was a sports initiation that Carol said involved giving the younger players what's commonly called a wedgie.

Carol said the older boys also punched her son in the groin and stomach.

"He was bent over and couldn't hardly walk. He cried for probably 30 minutes," Carol said.

Charlton County police arrested two teens in connection with the alleged hazing incident and charged them with simple battery.

Carol said she doesn't think the teens meant to intentionally hurt her son but that they did. She said she wants other parents to be aware of the incident.

"It's not funny. It went beyond being a funny little prank," Carol said.

She said a coach was on the bus with the teams on the night the incident occurred.

The principal of the school had no comment on the incident but said the school has taken the appropriate action and has launched an investigation.

mommy fighting his battles for him at 13 is going to ruin this kid for life.

dad, if there is one around, needs to teach this kid how to fight.

  1. When attacked, swing HARD at the nose.
  2. If it is a stituation where there are more than one attacker, all rules of "fighting etiquette" are off the table - meaning go for the balls and/or eys.
this poor kid is going to have a tough life if someone doesn't step in and teach him to manup.

Yeah, not intentional, right. Wouldn't the ripping sound be a CLUE?

The dad in this house taught a similar set of rules:

1. Do not start a fight.
2. Do not be afraid to finish one.

We have to stop emasculating our sons and teach them to be men.

Our daughter is 25 and just married. But she and her friends always joked that they just wanted to find a guy who went to Man School.

They would joke about dating men who wanted to talk about their feelings, the thread count on the sheets they just bought and hair care products. Heck, that's why they had their girlfriends!

Fortunately, she found a man much like her daddy.

Before she dated this guy long, she had him put up some track lighting in her kitchen, just to test him out! LOL

Some parents are so clueless. Of course they meant to hurt him; that's the point of giving a kid a wedgie and punching him. /roll eyes.....

More of that wonderful socialization home schoolers are missing out on.

hard to believe that so many posts on this thread actually blame the victim , again, as is a norm apparently here on FR.....

I'll bet this kid was a skinny, little guy....I don't associate HS golf types as the aggressive burly types, so why would we expect this young kid to come bouncing back at his tormentors...for all he knew, it was a sanctioned deal what with a coach and other players sitting right there......

I'd guess if Mom did nothing, this behavior would continue on and on and on.....

maybe the weak ones are the ones who let it go on and on and on and do nothing about it?
