Kids Today
What is the world coming to? Ten 6 to 8 years old boys sexually assaulted an 8 year old girl on the playground. The article says the boys will be charged with misdemeanors - how can you charge 8 year olds with anything? They should be in mandatory pyschotherapy and counseling, and their family lives should be closely looked into. 8 year olds! I'm disgusted but also really confused.

I wish it said what they actually did to the girl, because "sexual assault" in the context of kids has come to mean virtually nothing. There was that case recently where a boy was charged with sexual harassment because he hugged a girl.
Kids can be vicious little bastards, and always have been -- but I think it's our perpetually-lowering standards on what's harrassment and assault that makes it seem like these things are happening more often.
