I doubt it happened, maybe some shoving. If there was a group attack on one kid we would have gotten an email about a fight. I would guess that the kid was smacking girls on the butt, not groping or pinching, and that the kid got shoved around a bit.

You are encouraging young girls to not report sexual assault. You are showing young girls they won't be believed and they are being "too sensitive." You basically just said the equivalent of "boys will be boys." How disgusting.

You are being ridiculous. A little smack on the tush is not a “sexual assault”

It is totally inappropriate and your kid would have been kneed in the balls if it had been me. I have older brothers and know how to send the message to keep your hands to yourself. I am not sure why more parents of girls have not taught their daughters this.

You are not going to be able to prove that a kid is smacking kids on the butt, you have to be prepared to send your message.

Looks like we found the mom of the offender.

It is sexual battery, which is not something at which you should roll your eyes.

Under Virginia Code § 18.2-67.10, the buttocks are legally defined as "intimate parts". Virginia law defines sexual battery as intentionally touching someone's intimate parts without their consent, against their will, or by force.

Simple sexual battery is a Class 1 misdemeanor, which carries a penalty of up to 12 months in jail and up to a $2,500 fine. Juveniles may not receive the same penalty as adults, but they will not just be "redirected" and told to keep their hands to themselves.

The law applies whether the person is clothed or unclothed, and regardless of whether the offender claims the act was a joke or not.

I guess every coach who has ever slapped a kid on the butt during a game, or every player who has done the same to a teammate, needs to be arrested if the statute of limitations hasn’t already expired.

Context matters, and you’re making a fool out of yourself.

Most of the Coaches I know of today do not slap kids on the butt, they dap or go for high fives because it is seen as something that could be construed as inappropriate. My kid has played rec sports since K and he has never been patted on the butt by a Coach or a teammate.

I know the legal definition and I think it is ridiculous when applied to kids. The kid thinks it is silly, it upsets someone, and either they stop because someone yells at them or they continue because it gets a rise out of someone and the like the attention. Then the kid gets smacked by someone or kneed in the groin and realizes that they should have stopped. 10-1 the kid was smacking boys and girls butts because he was an idiot. There should be consequences but, short of a teacher or administrator seeing it, it is very much a he said she said situation. This is why it normally ends when someone embarreses the crap out of the kid by yelling at them loudly or slapping them.

That is different then a kid grabbing breasts or reaching under skirts or shirts to touch people, which is 100% sexual assault.

There is a difference between inappropriate and stupid, while technically a crime, and a crime. Teach your daughters to loudly confront the idiot and to slap them, it will end most of the stupidity fast. Also, teach them to walk with confidence, idiots are less likely to do attack you if you look like you are paying attention and ready to take care of yourself. That means not staring at your phone, standing tall, and looking around as you walk. Heck, that goes for everyone. People who want to hurt someone want to go after the person they think is the easiest target, the person paying attention is not an easy target.

Adding tot he above

And teach your kids not to slap people on the butt or to not touch people as a joke. I know most people do and some kids don't listen. But don't be surprised if your kid is touching people without permission and inappropriately and gets hurt for doing so. Consent is the most important thing we can teach all kids at a young age, if your kid isn't taught that or doesn't listen, they will get themselves into trouble in the form of getting hurt by touching the wrong person or at school for touching people inappropriatly. More likely then not, it will be a classmate who is done with their stupidity and whaps them.

If there is a coach who is intentionally touching a child or another adult on the buttocks should absolutely be reprimanded and cited. That is 100% inappropriate and should never be excused, tolerated, ot ignored.

I am the parent of three varsity (or former varsity, for my child who graduated already) athletes who have played sports since they were extremely young. They've played rec, travel, and varsity. I have NEVER seen a coach slap an athlete on the butt, nor have I ever heard anyone condone such behavior from other athletes.

If a kid is accidentally touched on the buttocks when they fall, collide, or tackle, that is different than intentionally slapping. If that's the "context" to which you are referring, you have miscommunicated or poorly communicated. If, however, you are condoning slapping on the buttocks in any way, including during a sports event, you are the one who is making a fool of themself, for there is no situation in which unwanted touching, is acceptable.

Many coaches within the school system are under the age of 26. Therefore, they are juveniles. Juveniles cannot be held responsible for their actions, since their brains are not developed.

I hope this is satirical.

In no world is a 26-year-old a juvenile.

In no world can a young adult not be held accountable for their actions.

I suspect that most kids who were slapping other kids butts in MS go on to lives that don’t involve similar antics. Most adults, male and female, do not sexually assault others. I think the kid is likely to be fine.
