The parents of a six-year-old American boy charged with sexual assault after being caught "playing doctor" are suing the prosecutors.
Their lawsuit, filed last week, accuses officials in Grant County, Wisconsin, of violating their own and their son's civil rights, the Chicago Tribune reports.
They are seeking $11.6 million in damages.
The boy — who reportedly has a developmental disability — was charged with first-degree sexual assault last year.
He had been discovered playing doctor with a five-year-old girl and her brother by the girl's mother.
The lawsuit alleges the investigation was biased because the girl's father is a well-known political figure in the area.
The suit names a district attorney, a social worker and a former sheriff.
Reminds me of a recent Freeper post, the Army is warning our soldiers not to “water the flowers” while facing towards Mecca, geo coordinates 21° 25’ 36” North, 39° 49’ 34” East, lest they be seen as committing an offensive act!
A six year old, especially if he has a developmental disability, isn’t truly capable of committing sexual assault. Even remanding him to juvenile authorities would be an overkill. The District Attorney,social worker and Sheriff involved deserve to be sued...it was totally asinine to to bring charges in this case.
Because he’s a six year old, developmentally delayed child, who has been branded for possibly a life time for being curious about girls.
“ROFL! We bought our country house way in the boonies, specifically because my hubby said he wanted to be able to pee off the deck in the morning.”
Yep. Us, too. Love life in the boondocks.
I read that. What a joke.
If they only allowed 6 year old boys to marry this wouldn’t happen.
Mecca directional finder. I have a commode that is lined up perfectly for my location.
Thankk you. I'm having Clarence Thomas flashbacks. Some people just can't stand to see a black conservative succeed.
