champu 1 #2 September 28, 2015 QuoteA 14-year-old girl, an eighth-grader at Pikesville Middle School, told police Wednesday that a 13-year-old boy grabbed her by her shirt, pulled her toward him and "open-mouth kissed her with his tongue," according to police. For reference: http://www.assaultandbattery.org/maryland/ On the bright side, he did it on a dare and is being charged as a juvenile, so that checks out. On the not so bright side, he didn't sneak up and give her a peck on the cheek, he grabbed her and pulled her in a direction which, at least in Maryland, would appear to be second degree assault. Maybe someone here who knows thing one about juvenile court cases can correct me, but my understanding is it is the sentencing that's most tailored to the person being underage, not so much the laws. So as long as we're talking community service or probation/counciling (or have McFly tell him to get his damn hands off of her and punch away his inner Biff so he's not a complete asshole come 1985) then I'll reserve my over-reaction outrage.

Well I hope they cuffed him to help him be just that much more traumatized.

champu 1 #4 September 28, 2015 turtlespeedWell I hope they cuffed him to help him be just that much more traumatized. If this is how pussified the system is now, I want none of it. Well, I'll just say it'd be nice if the pendulum didn't swing that far. Kids will be kids which is why if this story was about 5-year olds, I'd be more upset. At some point you're an adult, you keep your hands off other people, and assault is assault. In between are teaching moments. It's the phase when stressing rehab/fixing people over punishment/isolation from others is the most critical imo. Whether the school does this or the county does it I don't really care as long as we're not talking sex offender registries and felonies on adult records. Doing nothing to speak of about this kinda of behavior is dong the same thing and expecting different results with respect to people growing up to be real pieces of work.

A weeks Detention would have been acceptable, with the caveat that he must complete and turn in a research paper on assault, and/or violent crimes and their consequences. Make him understand the wrong he did and why it's wrong. What they did was akin to killing an ant using a 20 lb sledgehammer.I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nothing is wrong with kids obeying the law. What laws do you think they were even aware of breaking at 13 years old? Maybe they were afraid to break the "triple dog dare" law.I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
