Playing Doctor
A prosecutor in Wisconsin brought first degree sexual assault charges against a six-year-old boy accused of playing doctor with a five-year-old girl. The girls’ mother, who walked in on the children’s play, suspected that the boy engaged in inappropriate touching.
The boy’s parents have initiated a lawsuit in federal court in Madison against the district attorney, the sheriff and a social worker alleging violation of the boy’s civil rights and seeking an injunction to prohibit proceeding with the prosecution.
They claim that the reason for the charges being filed is that the girl’s father is a political prominent person in the community and that the sheriff engaged in a relentless campaign to discredit, embarrass and humiliate the six-year-old boy.
Sexual harassment is clearly something which should not be tolerated, but going after little children who are exhibiting a normal curiosity, and certainly no sexual motivation, is a misapplication of the criminal system.
