[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Neither my 7th or 8th grader heard anything about a fight at Carson last week. Is this even real?[/quote]

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. [/quote]

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. [/quote]

You are being ridiculous.  A little smack on the tush is not a “sexual assault”  :roll: [/quote]

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[/quote]

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. [/quote]

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.
