WTF??
Parents are outraged after nearly two dozen 5th graders at Washington Elementary School in New Ulm, Minn., were caught playing a game called "rape tag," WCCO TV reports.
In the game, children "tag" each other by grabbing other students' private parts, according to the report.
Greg Diehl of a Rape & Abuse Crisis Center told WDAY TV he's shocked by the game.
"So much of it is inappropriate for their age, their stage of development," Diehl told the station.
The station gave a breakdown of the game's apparent rules:
"Our research finds if you are "it", you are the rapist. Instead of saying "you're it", you say "Rape," and you get points for touching people on certain body parts."
The controversy began when a parent witnessed the game and contacted the school's principal, Bill Sprung, who immediately took action, reports KEYC TV in neighboring Mankato, Minn.
I'm surprised the teachers didn't notice this sooner. I really, really wonder how this game started to begin with?
It just keeps getting worse!! It was only a few years ago that 5th/6th graders were wearing the colored bracelets to identify which sexual acts (from kissing to full blown sex) that they had either committed or were willing to commit. Now they are full on sexually assaulting each other? smh what do we do??!!
I'd like to say I am surprised but, I'm not. Kids today are truly something else.
There is always some new "game" or "party game" stuff that us as adults would never dream of.
It's sad and IMO a sign of the times.
I had forgotten that!!
Quoting NiCo86:It just keeps getting worse!!
