Yeah, why can’t I ever be called for jury duty on a case like this where I could stand up as jury foreman and say “we find the defendant not guilty, and we also find the DA and you the judge, for not dismissing this immediately, complete morons for having wasted our time.”

It must be the time of day, I read the headline and thought it said "Teens Facing Sex, Charge for Butt Slaps"!

okay, maybe it's not the time of day that is the problem.

The teens also could spend as long as 10 years in juvenile detention if found guilty.

10 years for horseplay? Meanwhile, child rapists/abusers often get far less harsh sentences. The kids should've got sent the principal and a few whacks on their posteriors. ...and that's all.

The PC infestation is slowly but surely destroying our culture.

In my case, when I got home beat up and my parents found out why, my Dad whopped me again.

Wasn’t one of my better days.

If I had a son I’d handle it exactly the way my Dad did. Gentlemen don’t do such things.

"This is outrageous! To equate slapping a woman's fanny with sexual assault?? "

I supposed it depends on the slapper and the slappee. If you slap a strippers fanny, no big deal. If you were to slap my wife's or daughter's fanny, I promise that much assaulting would result.

I certainly wouldn't want you or these boys to be labeled sex offenders, though.

However, we need to ask ourselves why we have such a coarse culture and why children behave like this, and why parents think it's no big deal.

Did your daddy forget to tell you about the birds and the bees?

“The students need to know that kind of behavior is not appropriate nor gentlemanly”

On the radio show they stated it was the boys and girls doing this to each other. Evidently it was one of those things kids were doing. These two were not the only ones doing it.

It’s totally odd. In one way, they are totally sexualizing children. Masturbation, condoms, homosexuality taught at a young age. But butt slaps by two boys (the girls were doing it as well but that’s okay) is a crime.

Lot more here than “just horseplay”

My wife has had one of these “young men” in her classroom...

This is a long term behavior issue -
Involved more than slapping a bottom -
Involves minors -
Is on video tape -

Let’s just say these young men need some help.

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

Like everything else in life that happens to too many modern women. “Life altering.”

Given this type of feminist overreach, it’s really not so amazing that women don’t do quite as well in the workplace, what’s really amazing is that anyone in the workplace would take the risk of hiring a woman who might, at any time for any reason, decide to accuse random male employees of conduct that is, to her, “life altering.”

These young girls didn’t knowingly bring this on the boys — in fact, it looks like some of them may even have changed their stories now — but feminists have decided to destroy these young male lives just to make some ideological point. Dare I say that those feminists need a good spanking?

The girls I hung around with at that age got offended if you didn't grab their ass once in a while. I suppose they felt neglected and unattractive.

This is insane. For the record, I don’t think it’s “OK” that these kids slapped a female’s behind, however, it’s also not a “sex crime.”

It’s kids screwing around as kids do. Unless they did or said something that’s not being indicated here, this is ridiculous.

“These cases are devastating to children,” he said. “They are life-altering cases.” / I believe he’s referring to the two boys, who now face 10 yrs. jail & life long reg. as sex offenders

You may want to read again - that’s the idiot DA talking about the impact on the “alleged victims.”

Does this mean I can be given some sort of runeration by the Tit of Big Gov, because my Grade school principal ( tears pouring from my eyes, a MALE principal) gave me a swat with a paddle on the Butt. We were playing chase and ran across some ice.Teacher Witch snitched on us.

Geez...what did I do as a teen:

-smacked a couple butts (girls)
-told a few dirty jokes
-kissed a 19 year old girl when I was 16
-told a girl she looked “hot”

By these standards today I’d be labeled a sex offender. It’s nuts.

I didn't say the behavior's right. I'm saying the charges are excessive. The boys need a good talkin' to on how to treat women with respect. I certainly don't condone it as "harmless fun." What's going on here has to be looked in the overall circumstances and not some politically correct anti-male gesture, that's all.

If you’re going to come out with that post, you need to provide more information. What are you saying—they videotaped themsevles slapping girls bottoms? Your post is cryptic.
