Let me get this straight, (sorry, pardon my non PC etiquette), correct. Researchers & psych groups are on the verge of allowing adult/child sexual relations. Homosexuals can get married. Lesbian sex is not cheating. Polygamy is about to get legalized. Yet an 8-year-old boy child can't touch an 8-year-old girl child without charges? Wake me from this fucking nightmare.

8-year-old accused of fondling classmates
Associated Press


MOUNT CLEMENS, Mich. -- An 8-year-old boy accused of fondling four female classmates will be the youngest participant in Wayne County's sex offender rehabilitation program, prosecutors said.

The boy, who was not identified because of his age, pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor assault charge and no contest to a felony assault charge. He was sentenced Wednesday.

If he completes the program, the felony charge will be dropped. The boy will receive individual counseling because the group sessions for teenagers are not age-appropriate, prosecutors said. The judge also sentenced him to two years probation.

Authorities said the boy fondled a 7-year-old girl and touched three other 7-year-old girls inappropriately outside their clothing while the children watched "Mary Poppins" at a Mount Clemens school in May.

Defense attorney Richard Marcil said he was satisfied with the outcome of the case.
 
the above ones mentioned are among consenting adults. an 8 year old is not even close to the age of consent and therefore not an adult. there is a difference between consenting adults and a child gonz
 
I think the difference you need to recognize is more about adult consentual sex vs 'fondling'...
 
It seems that child seems to have no knowledge of what he does. Counseling wouldn't be so bad for him.

Either he is curious and unaware on the implications of his actions or very aware and in need of help.
 
either way he will need some help or something as you said. i think its teh latter though that hes curious of the implications

Let's assume #1 for the sake of argument. In a world populated by sensible human beings, they would tell him to stop. Then, at some near point in the future (after school perhaps) they would inform the parents. The parents would then sit him down (probably on his now sore ass) & explain that one needs to keep their hands to themselves. They may also explain the particulars of why men & women are different.

They, the school, the parents of the "violated" nor the school officials would even think about calling the cops & charging an 8 year old child. In the event the police became involved. no DA would prosecute an 8 year old child. Nothing short of ridiculous.
 
I understand your point, Gonz. When I was a kid, things would be handed to the parents for them to handle it. These days, there is no doubt that lawsuites will fly over the incident and who was responsible to protect the innocent. Its the world we live in now. And being that it is, the school must cover their asses just like everyone else. Seems schools are one of the most vulnerable targets for frivilous litigation...:(

Then let's fix the problem & leave the kids to be kids.

while I agree that the problem needs to fixed, I don't agree with the 'leave the kids to be kids' thing... I've seen up close and personal what that can do .. and it ain't pretty. The kid needs help and intervention - but not in an adult class, for sure.
 
Curiosity is one thing...but what led this young man to think that acting out this curiosity in this way was the way to go? It'd be interesting to see what his family relationships were like.

Abuse?

As for taking the law into this...I have to agree with Gonz here. That's just fuckin' rediculous. Take the kid to the school counselor, find out why he did it. Explain to him why that wasn't appropriate, warn teh parents so that they're aware and see if he repeats.

If he repeats...take it to the next step...but arrest...that should be step #20 f'rcrissakes!
 
yea but there are frivolus law suits everywhere nowadays. people can sue for the dumbest shit in this country
