Police arrested a Longwood, Florida, 12-year-old girl for pinching a male classmate's butt during school hours.
Breana Evans (pictured above) was taken in a patrol car, booked, had her mugshot taken, was charged with misdemeanor battery, and was temporarily placed in juvenile detention.
"I regret it because I didn't know it would lead to this," Breana told WPTV.com. Breana claims she didn't know the boy. She pinched him because that's just something her friends do, pinch and run and laugh.
The school resource deputy—that's the police officer who patrols the school—didn't charge her with a crime because the boy didn't want to press charges and no one was hurt or anything. Instead, Breana was suspended.
But no...a suspension wasn't enough for the boy's mom (who I would love to see -- but is unidentified in the news stories) insisted to police that her son was the victim of battery, and so cops had no choice but to reluctantly arrest Breana.
The state attorney said that Breana will have to complete community service, submit to drug tests, and take classes. If she does all those things, the charges will eventually be dismissed.
"Lord, lord, lord, what's this world come to?" asked Breana's father. "Kid can't even be a kid."

I think it was fine to suspend the girl for a day or two, after explaining about keeping your hands to yourself and all that jazz. But, the boy's mom sounds like a real asshole who isn't doing her son any favors with such over-reactive bullshit.
