Teens facing sex charges for butt slaps

Lot more here than “just horseplay” .....Involved more than slapping a bottom -

Well don't be shy, tell us exactly what's involved here besides bottom slapping and horseplay.

And while you're at it, tell us what you think the appropriate punishment should be. 10 years in JD?

I doubt the boy who slapped me on the school bus 30+ years ago remembers, but I haven’t forgotten the embarrassment I felt at the time. It’s a minor thing in the grand scheme of things, but it’s very humiliating for some of us.

"These cases are devastating to children," he said. "They are life-altering cases."

Only if the adults around them act like ninnies.

[Clam Digger]

We would run around school popping the girls on the rear. Some would turn around and chase us and beat the crap out of us.

Ah, Colleen Williams. She was FAST, too. What a great butt. I saw her a couple years back, too, and damn if she doesn't still look great - a runners body and a playboy playmates rack. YUM! She's still married, though, and has 3 kids.

“It could have been my brother. ;-)”

LOL!!!

[rednesss]

Here’s some free advice, get over it.

Hothouse flowers. This is ridiculous. What ever happened to perspective? A D.A. shall nifong and destroy 2 boys lives because he's afraid a girl will be having nightmares about it at 35 years of age? Or is he afraid that NOW will mock him and he could lose votes? SH**, by 16 she probably won't even remember the name of the boy serving time for it!

[VeritatisSplendor]

Um, because there’s nothing coarse about kids playing grab ass. It’s a natural stage in human development—that’s also why it’s no big deal.

I found it a miserable and humiliating experience to be on the receiving end of this game. These boys do need a lesson in keeping their hands to themselves - suspension, apologies, some unpleasant chores - but ten years is ridiculous, and it’s not going to happen, either.

Some would turn around and chase us and beat the crap out of us.

And at 13, that's still a very real threat.

No in Maryland (?) a judge just released a child RAPIST (many years, same girl) because even though he speaks perfect Eng, he came from Liberia where they speak some weird language. and some shrick said he should have an interpretor. She said it was taking to long. The people they hired would quit one after an hour. Apparently, he scared them to death.

[rednesss]

You know what worked pretty well?? Getting kicked in the jumblies. You learned to give those girls a wide berth.

[ichabod1]

Even at that it was a few years before I learned that women, even if they like you, HATE being patted on the behind.

[subterfuge]

They shoulda known better. Hang ‘em high

Yep. ABout 10 years in Juvy ought to do it. (eyes rolling)

[rednesss]

That case was dismissed for “speedy trial” issues, probably because the courts are choked up with stupid cases like this where 13 yo boys are charged with felonies for playing grab-ass.

[freepertoo]

A few days ago I saw two boys and two girls walking down the street. The boys kept kicking the girls in the rear, would go on talking, then stop a few paces later and kick the girls again. The girls seemed to think this was normal.

That’s when I knew I was old. I felt like pulling the boys over and reading them the old fogey riot act about how to treat a young lady.

[VeritatisSplendor]

I’m a small and formerly timid person. It took me until my twenties and karate classes to muster up that kind of nerve, but aggressive retribution was satisfying. Girls need to learn it young.

It’s the WOB. “War On Boys.”

The sex offender list was almost a good idea, a long time ago. Now it’s a joke. Soon all males will be put on the list at birth.

[rednesss]

Well good for you.
