It would help if boys started pressing charges on girls who harass and assault them..lawsuits against the families who enable the girls as well. |
That is just wrong. Maryland’s sexual assault laws cover this action as illegal “sexual conduct”. See, 3-303(e)(1). |
she is talking about IRL....it happens all the time. |
| I like to beleive the people screaming here are just unloved miserable folk who wish for some kind of appreciation. |
So you agree the boys in the OP were wrong? |
Well no duh they were wrong. No one said they were behaving properly. You don't seem to be able to appreciate the degrees of life. They were wrong. Should the daughter harp on it? No. Does she need trauma therapy? No. Should the dad have done anything differently? Probably not. He respected her wishes. Should those kids be buried up to their necks and stoned in the streets? No. Do girls get away with crapnlike that all the time? Yes. It was a bad thing. Bad things happen. It helps to keep things in perspective in life. |
And, how do you stop them from doing that in the future to someone else? |
You don’t. You can’t control other people. You are only responsible for yourself. |
So you do not believe in any criminal laws. If Johnny kills your kid -- that's fine. After all, you are only responsible for yourself. |

So, some of you think ass pinching is something to let go? So, where do you draw the line?
What if he rubbed her ass? Pinched her breast? Hugged her and pressed his penis into her ass cheek? Stuck a hand inside her swimsuit and rubbed her hip? The letting things go is a slippery slope. What message to teens? Some stuff is ok, but, some not? How are they supposed to know? Obviously OP’s daughter felt bad about what happened, is she supposed to know to just let it go and feel bad if it’s ass pinching, but, hey! If he’d pinched your vagina, now we will do something? |
Yes you crazy lady: some stuff you let go, and some stuff you don’t. How do some of you manage to leave your house every day? |
Yes, clearly that was the implication. No laws. Duh. After all, if we had laws against murder, no one would get murdered, obviously! Because laws are preventative, not punitive! |
You've lost. Give it up. You have boxed yourself into an absurd corner, because you think that its only a little sexual assualt. No big deal. Step back and ask yourself: Do I really think it would be okay if a kid did this to my kid? |
So, where is the line? What do you tell your kids? Or are you saying, you’re good with all those things happening to your daughter? |
I am glad you agree they were wrong but I think you may need a lesson in seeing nuance and avoiding whataboutism. There is a middle ground between stoning (!) and letting them off with no consequences. They didn’t suffer any consequences for their actions. Whatever burden they created from this incident fell on the victim. Yes, I know, that’s life. But you seem to think that’s acceptable. What other people do has no bearing on what is right/wrong. Are you saying it’s ok for boys to shoplift because some girls shoplift? |
