8-Year-Old Charged For Sexual Conduct With Sitter

[seriousstan]

KUTV) SALT LAKE CITY, Utah A mother is upset after a 14-year-old babysitter engaged in sexual conduct with her eight-year-old boy, and the eight-year-old was charged with lewd conduct.

Prosecutors have since dropped the charges against the boy, but his mother is still concerned.

The sexual conduct occurred during a game of “truth or dare” while the boy was being watched by the babysitter.

Prosecutors say that, while the babysitter initiated the contact, the young boy was a willing participant.

“She dared my son to touch her breasts,” says Michelle Grosbeck, the boy’s mother.

2. they charged an 8 year old

who didn't initiate the contact? That doesn't make sense.

3. I'll bet you damn near anything that the 14-year-old

has been molested at some point in her life.

Therapy for both kids, not punishment.

But then, that's just my bleeding-heart liberal self speaking, I guess.

4. From personal experience, I can tell you that what they did is natural...

We're talking about children here (yes, a 14 year old girl is a child). Law enforcement should NOT be involved...:thumbsdown:

6. So a 14yr old BOY doing this to an 8 yr old GIRL would be natural?

[Cooley Hurd]

7. Yes - they're CHILDREN...

Of couse, parents should be involved, but not the cops.

8. It's amazing how many people think we can legislate nature right out of

humanity.

10. a 14 year old is not a child

A 14 year girl is a adolescent not a child. A normal 14 year would know this behavior is wrong. Asking a 8 year old to touch her breast is not normal behavior, even in a game setting like truth or dare. She could have asked him to eat a bug!!!

Definitely something else here is under the surface.

As for law enforcement NOT be involved, I agree with you.

This girls mom should see this as a HUGE RED FLAG.

13. Says who?

[Poppyseedman]

16. I say so.

Having raised six children, five to adulthood and one 14 year old left at home to finish the job. I'm as close to being an expert without paying for the fancy degree. It's called been there, done that.

What are your credentials?

of the religious righteous enters our bedrooms, our homes, our minds.

11. We need better sex education.

Young children, teenagers, and adults. Even the elderly could benefit from more information.

There is too much to say about this for me to say anymore. Other than, more information is necessary for everyone.

12. babysitters

are quite often involved in molest incidents. people, be very very careful about who watches your children! things aren't always what they seem!

15. A 14 year old engages in an act of sexual discovery with an 8 year old...

...and you call it "molestation?":shrug:

[helderheid]

17. If the girl was closer to his age I MIGHT see your point.

14. raising a Boy today is a scary thing
