A Tennessee church camp counselor that is the son of the Pastor has been arrested for multiple charges. I have seen this story on several sites and some of them indicated that the church passed it off as "horseplay" or as a "punishment". Yes, because when a child at church camp is talking dirty the appropriate punishment would be to pin him down and crawl all over him naked while sexually abusing and battering him. WTF?

"The complaint also mentions an alleged incident involving Anderle taking his pants off and jumped on top of a child. The minors arms were reportedly pinned to the bed while an alleged physical struggle ensued. The complaint goes on to say Anderle allegedly told the child," It's not molestation unless somebody sticks something in."

It's not molestation unless somebody sticks something in.

No no no no no no no

Molestation is any unwanted sexual touching.

Whether they penetrated him or not, it is still wrong because they touched another person in a sexual way without their consent.

From the Church: "All initial reports have indicated that the incident was an inexcusable attempt at unacceptable “locker-room†type humor. "

Bullshit. Penn State redux.

Well I guess they can't roll out the "she was wearing slutty clothes and asked for it" since they're both boys..

Not to mention the power/authority differential. Are these kids who are "trained" for first-time obedience? *shudder* This camp may not be of that ilk, but signs seem to point in that direction (punishment? locker room humor? puh leeze).
