If you think touching children is out of the line, then, from my standard, talking to children one-on-one in a room is already out of the line. There is always more ways to make excuses and you know the cop is not having any ill intent. But, if you insist on looking for a way to blame the cop, there is always a way. Locking in a room with another stranger is already out of the line without talking and without touching.

It's not about children. There are places where touching another person, regardless of age, is considered assault. It seems like ITT some users are looking at this child as if he's an adult with a developed mind. If people are going to do that, give him laws that adults are under, too. Otherwise, forget that argument. I wasn't there, so I don't know what anyone there was thinking. Unless you were there or had some way of seeing what was going on, neither does anyone else. I'm not insisting on anything besides looking at the situation from both sides.It doesn't matter. The cop can simply touch him out of care and you wouldn't know it. And even if he did it out of care, you wouldn't believe him.
Read the quoted post. But, the biggest problem is every single thing others do, you have to question their motive. The system is screwed when we have to think about every tiny little details that wouldn't offend the minor because it is simply impossible to truly be free of offending. I could even just do a video recording and never be in the room, and what I say would be fine to most kids, but, probably still offend him.
I hope you realize that I just said this in the post you quoted. I said the same thing about the rest earlier, too.Not everyone is a lawyer or a politician. We are not cut out to be politically correct all the time. And we don't think for 5 minutes to make sure what we say/do can guard against all possible law suits.
No one said you had to be. If you're saying that it's okay to make mistakes in regards to judging laws, that's not acceptable. There's a reason why there is a judge and jury, rather than just one person who has the final say. It's to compensate for individual human error.
If you don't even understand what I am trying to say. How about you be the teacher and trying to work with those kids yourself? See how they are going to bully you with all the law suits. It is simply rediculous.
Stop jumping to conclusions. I didn't say that it is what I personally want. I'm being as balanced as I possibly can about this by giving the other side perspective in this thread. That's what I said earlier, too.
I hope you read my response this time.
