F-—ing brats need to learn to keep their hands to themselves. Why is something that would result in criminal charges in the workplace just pooh-poohed when it takes place in government schools?

Whatever you say, Mr. Nifong.

Just when you think FReepers are basically decent people.

You'd have had fun being a kid in 1952 or thereabouts. Class C fireworks, BB-gun fights, tackle football...

The neatest thing of all was that asphalt hadn't been invented and roads were made out of tar and gravel, and there were always pools of leftover tar lying around to roll the neighbor kids in. About the only cure for that was bathing the kid in gasoline.

Farking prosecutor needs to be sh*tcanned, the principal fired and the cops relieved of duty.

This is sheer overreactive madness on the part of the PC leftist crowd that refuses to allow boys to be boys.

Was it wrong? yep

Was it chargeable? Nope

Dad needs to sit them down and have a talk with them or take them behind the woodshed for some personal time. But the reaction by the powers that be is ludicrous.

The kids need some discipline, but dragging them into the criminal justice system? Your kidding right.

Right, you probably aren’t kidding since Free Republic is now populated with statists.

[Xenalyte]

What woman do you know who would rather file criminal charges than slap the hell out of a guy who did that?

[rednesss]

I believe you would win this contest hands down.

[nyconse]

Good grief-you can’t be serious. This is extremely stupid on the part of the prosecuter and shows the dangers inherent in our legalistic justice system-common sense has gone out the window.

These kids were playing around. And then you have case like one I personally know about in Pennsylvania where a child molester (cousin of personal friend) was caught in the act with a three year old...was a boy scout leader and molested God knows how many kids. He received three years in jail.

Just to update you, criminal charges were filed against the *boys.

*some* of the "pooh-pooh" to the story are the *girls* who admitted to "butt slapping" the boys faced NO CHARGES.

Bankrupting these kids families and ruining these kids lives is Pooh Poohing to you? sheesh... You are as bad as Berry and Nifong. What is wrong with you?

Their names are now Googleable forever. They'll be lucky to ever get a job in a workplace that does not involve a chain gang.

[weegee]

It wouldn’t result in criminal charges in the workplace. NOW said that the first grope is “free” when they defended Bill Clinton.

[AmericaUnited]

Your response tells me you have some real serious mental issues. And please don’t whine in return. Just pathetic! What a confused person. A member of the of the Free State Project who thinks the childish behavior of some 11 year old kids is the problem and not the INSANE GOVERNMENT OVERREACHING and INTRUSION!!!
