When I saw this, I was pretty shocked at first. One, how have they even hit puberty?! Two, what is this world coming to.

But then I remembered being chased by boys when I was...what...7? They were the same age, and they were running around chasing all the girls trying to squeeze our crotches. I was a little upset, but not overly traumatized. I certainly haven't grown up to be a stripper. But had I reported this today, what would the school/parental/media reaction have been?

So it's hard to know if this is really an outrageous crime committed by juvenile predators, or normal childhood stuff being blown out of proportion.
