I for one think it's disgusting for anyone to behave this way, let alone an 8 year old boy. Something is NOT right, and whether it's the home life, parenting, what he's seen on tv or (real life for that matter) and/or what he's being taught in school, sadly, everything could come into play in today's world.
But I haven't seen anyone look at the other side of the coin here, and ask if what the girl and her family have said could be "false" in any way or made up? Who is to say this little girl isn't abused and/or is looking for attention or something?
In today's world anything is possible. I pray not, but wow... They say there are 3 sides to a story, hers, his and the truth, and I can only imagine the truth behind this story.
Given that Clinton left office five and a half years ago, and this child is eight, I doubt that a two and a half-year old was watching much TV News at the time.
Amen! Getting to be annoying to try to watch something with my son only to see 10 or 20 commercials of "Bob and his 48 hour boner" being run ad-nausium. Not to mention the underware commmercials are getting out of control as well.
The odds are far more likely that he himself is the victim of abuse, or has seen this sort of activity at home, which is a form of abuse itself. This is one situation that I hope child protective services is really examining hard.
And I pray that the girl is getting some guidance and help. Something like that can make a child feel dirty and defiled for decades.
I have to wonder what this child has been exposed to. I am not saying the boy was or is abused but maybe mom and dad watch porn or forget to lock the bedroom door. Children do not come up with this behavior on their own.
I'm watching the local coverage on this right now. Because the alleged assault occured in an enclosed tube slide, hiding the incident........you guess it!!
They're dismantling and/or capping off all of the tube slides on the playground!!!!
Watch for legislative action banning any sort of tube slides in the "State Where Nothing Is Allowed".
Registration of slides, restrictions on high-capacity slides, prohibition on "junk slides", no "kid-killer" slides, amor-piercing slides...
If it saves so much as ONE CHILD from intra-slide abuse, then it's worth it!
it said he "forced her to kiss his private parts" and then said that he "simulated sex" on her. So I interpret that he was trying for her to do oral sex, and then thrusted up against her.
8 years old!
I had no idea what my weenie was for at that age!
ok fine
I recognize your sarcasm.
But I'm tellin' ya..........
We used to have a state legislator by the name of Wes Skoglund. He had a thing about "window peekers". Everything that Republicans supported and he opposed, he claimed would be beneficial, in some way to perverts and window peekers.
In 2003, when we finally got the "Minnesota Citizens Personal Protection Act" (CCW Shall Issue) passed into law, over Wes's filibusters, he claimed that the state would be overrun with permitted window peekers carrying concealed weapons.
I'm not kidding.
The boy has either been abused himself, or (more likely) has easy access to pornography at home, either on cable or on the Internet.
Unfortunately stuff like this is happening ever more frequently at school. At my local primary school a young teacher was asked on the first day of school what color her panties were (this was asked by a 7 year old boy).
Your points are all well taken and logical. I stand corrected. Thanks.
