This is where we've ended up. The legislature didn't specify ages in the law the DA has chosen, so a 6 year old is now a sex offender. I guess I was too at that age. Playing doctor was a popular, if occasional, pastime among the single-digits set back in the day.
Unfortunately, there is no room for common sense in a society that has decided to live under the rule of laws rather than the rule of law.
I’d played doctor when I was a young boy. This one girl I liked-same age-thought that her arm was infected, so strapped her down to a picnic, got my dad’s saw from the garage, and was ready to take it off until she got chicken and started screaming....man she is just lucky that I didn’t know how to operate my old man’s power saw...there would’ve been blood everywhere...
It’s okay, this little boy will be a sex-offender for the rest of his life, and Sandusky will walk. Bizzaro world, is that Liberty Tree ready for its watering yet or what?
Wonder if Lisa Riniker played “house.” Little girls would bring out toy tea sets and play wife with some waylayed boy.
Played “Doctor” a couple times when I was about 6. Noticed the differences, but didn’t think much about them. Then,,,,, when I was 10 or 11, I noticed Betty Page in my Dad’s “Photo Magazines,” And thought,,, “Oh! Girls!”
The boy’s lawyer should demand the female be prosecuted for seducing the poor little tyke. If the DA wants to play games with the law, then all the pieces need to be in play.
You are almost forced to report anything that might be considered sexual to protect yourself. Not to mention all of the false reports that might be reported by people seeking revenge.
What is this world coming to?
Hell, I've gotten that same treatment from various bosses over the years. This mean I can sue 'em?
First played doctor 55 years ago.
Still doing it today.
The girl’s brother also played “doctor” with her . . . but he doesn’t get charged with anything. Hmm, politicians’ bias maybe??
The key to this whole mess is “well known political figure.”
Politically motivated prosecution.
And let me guess, there isn’t any way in the Wis. constitution for Walker to just pardon the kid, which he’d doubtless do in a Madison minute, while telling that prosecutor just how stupid she was.
5 years old? Give me a break!
What can they expect IF they manage to survive being born the commie’s are teaching them about ‘sex’ and how to use condoms and queer is ok.
It’s not the kids fault.
It’s the parents fault and the TYPE of schooling they get. IMO
We loved playing doctor. I wasn’t happy about the leach treatments though. Those older brothers...they love to torture!!
This country is so over with. After the long civil war, the survivors will laugh about such things and wonder what kind of drugs society was on to make a federal case over two little kids playing doctor. Or maybe they’ll be too busy gathering food to care.
Egregious idiocy on the part of all state judiciary involved.
They’re doing their level best to ruin some poor kid’s life over a trifle.
This is absolutely nauseating, and everyone concerned in state machinery should not only be fired, but punished legally, as well.
Play hardball.
However in this case I hope this family wins and wins big. I hope the prosecutor is forced to drop all charges and ends up putting the kid through Harvard on her dime.
What's more, I hope the family's lawyer hires a darned good PI who researches this prosecutor's life from the time she could walk, and digs up every possible "wrongdoing" she ever committed and drags them out publicly.
After all, based on her own standards, nothing she has done in her life can be considered "innocent," either.
Maybe if enough of these nitwits get publicly humiliated themselves, the idiocy will stop.
I played doctor when I was 6 and continued to play for many years and decades.
