"Unruly schoolboys or sex offenders? FACTBOX • What the law says Sunday, July 22, 2007 SUSAN GOLDSMITH The Oregonian Staff The two boys tore down the hall of Patton Middle School after lunch, swatting the bottoms of girls as they ran -- what some kids later said was a common form of greeting. But bottom-slapping is against policy in McMinnville Public Schools. So a teacher's aide sent the gawky seventh-graders to the office, where the vice principal and a police officer stationed at the school soon interrogated them. After hours of interviews with students the day of the February incident, the officer read the boys their Miranda rights and hauled them off in handcuffs to juvenile jail, where they spent the next five days. Now, Cory Mashburn and Ryan Cornelison, both 13, face the prospect of 10 years in juvenile detention and a lifetime on the sex offender registry in a case that poses a fundamental question: When is horseplay a crime? "

AWESOME!
It's about time we cracked down on normalcy in the country. Abuse has long been a part of growing up on planet earth and we, as civilized persons, are bound to our humanity to address the issues of what is acceptable.
Personally, i think these two are lucky to be alive, acting like that in front of a police officer and all. And secondly, they shouldn't have been standing there

now only if we could crack down on the 5 million other middleschoolers and haul their asses to jail for what seems like an increasing (sharply) trend in crimes and stupidity among schoolchildren all over the country (and the world).

8/10/2007 5:40:57 PM

that is crazy....america is digging her own grave....

8/10/2007 5:48:27 PM

^ Indeed. This is ridiculous. Those kids shouldn't (and I hope, probably won't) go to jail.

8/11/2007 2:43:47 AM

By 7th grade, they should know not to go around randomly slapping girls on the ass.

I don't think they should go to jail, but some punishment is warranted.

8/11/2007 3:19:15 AM

They should definitely should have been kicked out of that school and sent to the bad kids school, or whatever they have for delinquents. A good couple hundred hours of community service would help too.

But juvy? Sex Offenders? Way out there. But "face the prospect" sounds to me like sensationalist reporting.

8/11/2007 4:02:36 AM

LOL, i am a sex offender by those standards.

8/11/2007 8:52:35 AM

This is Cory, yeah, throw the book at him!

8/11/2007 10:13:29 AM

8/11/2007 10:18:33 AM

[Edited on August 11, 2007 at 10:25 AM. Reason : wtg mom, let your kid out in public like that]

[Edited on August 11, 2007 at 10:26 AM. Reason : lol at kid mom ]

8/11/2007 10:25:27 AM

shit like this is exactly why I will NEVER teach middle school again.

8/11/2007 11:08:59 AM

ahhh, you like to pat middle school chicks asses? They will not let you, huh?

8/11/2007 11:29:09 AM

i did this for a whole year of middle school and it wasn't until may where 1 girl told on me. The vice principle called me to her office and told me not to do that and that was the end of it.

8/11/2007 11:49:35 AM

now that i think about it. what i did wasn't slapping. it was a more gentle grab, rub, grope or pinch and usually garnered a smile. The slapping is what probably pisses them off.

8/11/2007 11:54:06 AM

america is so fucking retarded ...

8/11/2007 11:55:08 AM

if bitches acted less like sluts maybe it would be different.

8/11/2007 12:11:29 PM

yeah it is the girls' fault, right? when a woman gets raped, it is her fault she was dressed too provocatively.

LEARN TO THINK WITH YOUR BRAIN, NOT YOUR DICK. CONTROL YOURSELF.

8/11/2007 12:19:28 PM

you aren't serious are you ?!

8/11/2007 5:27:33 PM

My honest reaction to your post:

8/11/2007 5:32:21 PM

you got that worked up about a (what i assume was sarcastic) post in a thread as asinine as 2 barely teenagers possibly doing 10 years for slapping a girl on the butt ?


so the wait,what ? goes both ways it would seem


meh to be fair this is the lounge ... he really could be that moronic. i take it back
