[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Exactly!  It's not likely to be prosecuted, but the parents and kid need to know that it *could* be.[/quote]

So OP reports it, there are no witnesses except for the boys egging on the perpetrator.  I think that number has been reported as 10 boys, but it may have increased.  Dunno.

So we've got the word of 1 girl v. 11 boys, off school grounds, no witnesses, and no signs of physical damage.  Sounds like a really strong case...[/quote]

Why is everyone so obsessed about this. It sounds lIke the goal would be to have a person of authority tell him that's not acceptable. Is the concern that he's too much of a fragile flower for an adult to tell him to cut it out?[/quote]

Exactly!  He needs to have someone make him see that peer pressure/encouragement from friends can't outweigh what he should know is wrong.[/quote]

There was one child telling him to stop, and 10 more telling him to do it. An adult would put all of that into perspective.

You know what's odd? My daughter is expected to protect herself independently when outnumbered, suck it up [i]and[/i] not have an emotional reaction. The boy is just an awkward child who did something stupid and he shouldn't be reminded that his behavior was unacceptable. After all, he's just a child!

Exactly.  That is what's odd.  But it fits exactly into how we coddle boys and expect girls to basically function like adults.  It's completely crap, sexist, and it's disgusting to see how many people on this thread buy into it.[/quote]

Not one person has said that what this boy did was acceptable.  Not one.  What people have said is that this happened on the last day of school when kids were feeling their oats.  This boy did not even know the Op's daughter so this was likely a random moment of stupidity on this boy's part.  To insist on labeling this a violent sexual assault is...not helpful.  The Op can spend the summer trying to identify this boy and locate his parents only to have him (and his friends) deny the whole thing ever happened.

Op's daughter did stand up for herself and she told the kid to stop.  He did.  Beyond that I'm not sure what Op can realistically expect to happen.  [/quote]\

No one has labeled this a "violent sexual assualt," pp. (BTW, hyperbole much? What sexual assault is gentle?)

A few people, including me, have advocating the police if the girl's mother doesn't get an appropriate reaction from the boy's parents. Not to arrest the kid, but to put the fear of God in him so he understands that what he did was wrong and technically speaking, criminal.

There needs to be some accountability and consequences for the boy. Not as a punishment, but as a lesson.

So Op calls the boy's parents days after the fact, tells them what happened and they are suppose to what?  Instantly agree with Op and assume that their son did, in fact, smack the girl on the butt?  I suppose the boy will immediately confess to doing this and his parents will agree to punish him in a way that Op approves of and if not then Op is going to call the cops on them all?  Well, o.k.
