The felonious flirting occurred after two girls who liked a 12-year-old boy more and one decided to walk up and kiss the boy on a dare. The assistant principal first called contacted the Florida Dept. of Children and Families. Amazingly, rather than tell the officer that he or she needs get a life, the department advised a call to local law enforcement. The police showed up and actually took a report. That’s right. In a moment fitting of the Saudi Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice, these officers proceeded to interview the children and confirm the occurrence of a passing kiss. They at least found no crime, so there is hope.
That brings up back to the original call. Joe Donzelli, a spokesman for Lee County Public Schools, insists that a more serious incident prompted the telephone call to police. Yet, why would the kiss be mentioned or made the subject of a police report? Moreover, the police say that no such “other serious matter” was conveyed to them. That leads to the question of whether the school first called in the cops on a kiss and then misrepresented the matter to the public.
The “sex crime” witnessed by the assistant principal is part of a trend toward the criminalization of American society, as discussed in past columns and blogs.
Should this go to trial, I advise the teens to challenge intent with the words from Shakespeare’s Henry VI: “I can express no kinder sign of love, than this kind kiss.”
