If a male classmate had pinched a 12-year-old girl's nipple, it would be a bigger deal to me - not cause for arrest or sex-offender status for an isolated incident, but more concerning than a butt-pinch. Just like it would have been a bigger deal and more concering if the 12-year-old girl had squeezed the boy's balls instead of pinching his butt.
Ah well, at least the cops have worked it out so the 12-year-old butt-pincher won't have a record for battery if she successfully completes her diversionary program. And, if she's smart, she'll know better than to put her hands on people without consent in the future.
But, I think the arrest was major overkill and a suspension, plus a good talking-to, would have been more appropriate and probably just as effective. And, I think the boy's mom is a big old drama-hag asshole, based on what's been reported about the childish incident.
