Do the Two Middle-Schoolers Deserve Jail and a Sex Crime Record for What They Call an Exuberant Greeting?
Two middle-school students in Oregon are facing possible time in a juvenile jail and could have to register as sex offenders for smacking girls on the rear end at school.
Cory Mashburn and Ryan Cornelison, both 13, were arrested in February after they were caught in the halls of Patton Middle School, in McMinnville, Ore., slapping girls on the rear end. Mashburn told ABC News in a phone interview that this was a common way of saying hello practiced by lots of kids at the school, akin to a secret handshake.
Whos bright idea was it to get the police involved? I mean, c'mon!
I've always wondered why extreme bullying among older boys was never really a criminal offense, which in my opinion it should be. But 13 year olds slapping girls bums, and THAT gets police attention??
Wow, they would've locked me up and thrown away the key.
Edit: Now that I think about it, me and most of my 7th grade class after gym. It was like a game. Yeah, we knew it was wrong but we generally on chased the girls who spurned us on.
so instead of correcting these guys' mentality with proper discipline they're screwing them up even more by putting them on trial which could potentially make it worse?
Absolutely ridiculous. God forbid an adult actually take time to sit down with these boys and TALK to them about why what they were doing is wrong. No, instead let's get the cops involved and try to completely f**k up the rest of their lives by getting a sex offender charge on their record and making sure they do time in a juvie detention center. It's like they're TRYING to create criminals.
I read about this earlier, yeah it's totally ridiculous, the article said if the boys are registered as sex offenders, one of the kids wouldn't be allowed to be around his younger siblings without parental supervision, how screwed up is that?!?!
I say let the girls slap them on the ass in retaliation if they had an issue with it. If you know 13 year old boys, they'd view it as more than fair. And probably suggest they turn around and slap them on the front end for good measure.
