You seem to have very little understanding of the mind of a 14 year old. But since you NEVER like to do your own homework….. HERE is the police report. Crime/Incident: Forcible Fondling.
I’ll answer your trap question from both sides. But I will qualify my comments with – I have raised two kids; a boy and a girl. Both are now adults. So I am qualified to provide this answer.
If my son had done such a thing, I would have marched him over to each girl’s home and he would not only apologize to the girls, but he would apologize to the parents. Then, if I felt it was necessary, I would get him help. Otherwise, he’s getting locked in his room for a very long time with some very interesting books to read, in which he will write reports on, until I was absolutely certain he got the message about what he had done wrong. It’s about parenting. It’s about PARENTS holding their children accountable. I happen to think this is a far better tool for correcting your child than having then deemed sex offenders.
If it were my daughter this had happened to, I would take her to the boy’s house, reveal this to his parents, and demand an apology and that something will be done about this bad behavior. If the parents and boy was defiant, then I am likely to tell them to expect the police at their door soon. But I would have at least made the effort to remedy the situation internally.
Unlike you… I have no desire to ruin a 14 year old kid’s life when these things can easily be handled without having him deemed a sex offender at 14. I understand that a kids at 14 is going to do stupid things that they don’t completely understand the consequences of. It’s my job as a parent to make sure they get it. The law is only going to PUNISH; not teach lessons.
Josh Duggar not only apologized, but he asked for each girl’s forgiveness; which he got. Josh Duggar went on with his life, the problem dealt with; but now, almost 10 years later folks want to dredge #### up because it’s an opportunity to bash Christians; that is at the root of all of this.
that police report makes things worse, not better IMO. All it shows is that this guy was a serial toucher and his victims varied in age. For all we know he touched a lot more kids and no one knew. That's why it should be a police matter.
And am calling BS. I am pretty sure that you, like me, would be more protective than that of your little girl. There is no way you take your little girl to face her offender and give him the chance to end it with an apology. Its a ####ing sexual assault.
