Poll: 7year old child charged with Sexual Assualt. Is this Sexual Assualt?

[asylumsweetie]

First off, this is just plain silly. Clearly the mother of the bully is trying to dodge charges against her son for assaulting his classmates by trumping up charges of her own against her sons victims, which is a despicable manipulation of the legal system.

Second, and more importantly, I hope the driver of that bus got fired. I mean, Jesus H. Christ, if a fight has escalated to the point that people are being strangled and crotch punched, it is time to pull the damn bus over and intervene!

I gotta give it to that kid, i wiuld not have thought to punch my bullies in the balls.

Anyway, according to the <url=http://www.ncvc.org/ncvc/main.aspx?dbName=DocumentViewer&DocumentID=32369#1>definition the national center for victims of crime the defintion is Sexual assault takes many forms including attacks such as rape or attempted rape, as well as any unwanted sexual contact or threats. Usually a sexual assault occurs when someone touches any part of another person's body in a sexual way, even through clothes, without that person's consent. Some types of sexual acts which fall under the category of sexual assault include forced sexual intercourse (rape), sodomy (oral or anal sexual acts), child molestation, incest, fondling and attempted rape. Sexual assault in any form is often a devastating crime. Assailants can be strangers, acquaintances, friends, or family members. Assailants commit sexual assault by way of violence, threats, coercion, manipulation, pressure or tricks. Whatever the circumstances, no one asks or deserves to be sexually assaulted.

I think we can safely assume the bully did not want to want to be punched int he balls. So yes, it is.

HOWEVER, if he gets charged with sexual assault, i hope that bully gets charged with attempted murder, theft, and just regular assault for choking the kid and stealing hsi gloves.

EDIT: apparently Im having troubles with my 'u's and 'i's today.

So how is this different to any other scenario when the bullied victim fight back? Yes I did read he punch him in the balls but I assume he did it to maximize the pain to the bully.

Being choked probably had something to do with that, too. I know if I were being choked I'd get in whatever punches I can, cheap or not. Seriously, what sort of sad world has this become when the victims of bullying are being punished more than the bullies themselves? Or people defending themselves in general? Surely he won't get convicted.

What is wrong with society and protecting bullies? Bullies are not the victim. Perhaps bullies are victims of another problem, but not in this situation.

That kid punched me in the balls. All I was doing was taking his stuff, calling him names and choking him half to death. I didn't do anything wrong. Why would he do that?

seriously kid, if you're going to bully someone then man up. Goddamnit, even the bullies are wusses these days.

comming from the country that puts kids on a sex register list for reseaving a nude pic from a fellow student...

I am not surprised.

I was kicked in the nuts in school once teachers just told me to not be soft.

Where I come from in Norway we have a word for this... It roughly translates into "take me from behind in a tub of lard", but means "this is stupid"... And this IS stupid. If someone seriously suggested to me that this is the right thing to do, I'd likely be charged with sexual assault myself, and I'd have the exact same lack of sexual motivation as this 7-year-old... Yet to meet a sexually active 7-year-old too, so...

 

[idodo35]

seriosly?... seriosly? you charge a 7 yr old on sexual assult for punching someone in the corach in an act of self defance?

but i voted potato cause...

 

[redisforever]

Ummm.... Is it even possible to charge a seven-year-old with sexual assault?

Besides, if he was getting strangled, wouldn't this count as self-defense?

Also, what is the proper technique for punching someone in the crotch? Is it a crouching jab type deal?

I'd think it would be self-defense. I hope so.

About the technique now. Honestly, I'd say uppercut. Right into the join.

I'd like to point out that he probably kicked him in the balls.

Also, even if he did punch him, that still wouldn't count, because it wasn't sexual in nature. If anything, he would be charged with assault, not sexual assault. Unless punching someone is now considered to be fondling.

I wouldnt be surprised, is about all im trying to say. if he kicked him, you could say he just has a foot fetish.

...

believe me, im on the seven year olds side, I think the whole deal is ridiculous.

 

[wooty]

WHAT??? Since when does punching someone in the spuds count as sexual assault?
In my day it was called the "finish him".

The world is fucked

 

[neonsword13-ops]

He's a kid.

I'm sure he doesn't have a full grasp of moral choices yet.

This is just stupid. Amazingly stupid.

 

[RanD00M]

Do seven year olds even know what sexual harassment is? Because I sure as hell didn't know what it was when I was seven. In any case people will see how dumb this is and come to their senses... I hope.

 

[JackyG]

So a nut shot is sexual assault now? I think not...

 

[Colour Scientist]

Do seven year olds even know what sexual harassment is?

Generally no. I'm assuming the other kid's parents might be after money or something.

How do they plan on punishing the child?
Put him in therapy to not make him a sex offender? List him as a sexual predator for life? Put him in Juvi? I'm pretty sure all of those experiences would scar him.

 

[moonlantern]

That's not sexual assault, if anything it's just plain assault.

i got in so many fights growing up, it was part of growing up. All the way until high school and it only stopped then because we moved out of state to nicer higher class neighborhoods. But in those early neighborhoods, everyone would have been deep trouble by these standards, everyone. hehe

black adder quote: I, on the other hand, am a fully rounded human being with a degree from the university of life, a diploma from the school of hard knocks, and three gold stars from the kindergarten of getting the sh*t kicked out of me.

How do they plan on punishing the child?

Usually when younger kids get charged/sued for something it's the parents that take full blame. They can't sentence him to jail, and they can't fine him, but they can fine his parents.
