now this is one for the books, 5 year old sexually assaults 4 year old,at that age they are just curious and don't really know what they are doing, but go ahead and arrest him, and maybe if this is his first offense the judge will let him apply for PTI.
You gotta be kidding me. Sexual assault by a 5 year old? I can't even come up with anything to even say about this.
Too cute, Shark. :))
Actually, tho, small children will re-enact sexual abuse they've experienced themselves, or (sometimes) have observed, which is why this warrants investigation.
Some people pick the most inappropriate articles to make unfunny jokes on. I hope this never happens in your family, but again, as funny as you think it is you probably wouldn't care.
You have got to be kidding me, a 5 yr old.
I have 2 boys and 2 girls. They are older than 5 but OMG....they are just curious at that age.
AND this is under investigation. This is a freaking joke. Why are they waisting their time investigating this case, there are more serious cases of sexual assualt they need their attention.
