[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]

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.
