No touching…or else!

Fox News reports a 12-year-old girl is being charged with assault for allegedly pinching a boys butt at school. Yep, an assault charge. The story is vague on the details of the incident but – uh, maybe I should say, well…the whole thing seems ridiculous. Apparently, rather than use this as a teachable moment, it is better to get the police involved and leave this girl with a criminal record instead. Can you imagine that conversation in juvie? “What are you in for?” / “Oh, I pinched a boy’s butt.” / “Damn, that’s hardcore girl. Real hardcore!”
