Middle schooler arrested, charged with ‘battery’ for pinching classmate’s butt

Middle schooler arrested, charged with ‘battery’ for pinching classmate’s butt | EAGnews.org: "LONGWOOD, Fla. – A Florida 12-year-old was arrested and hauled to juvenile detention after she pinched a classmate’s butt at school.
Breana Evans now faces a charge of misdemeanor battery after the student’s mother urged prosecution, and the girl and her father think the whole ordeal is ridiculous, ABC 7 reports.
“It is just a joke,” Evans said. “I feel like it’s just stupid, just a stupid charge that shouldn’t have to happen.”
Evans told WFTV she was suspended from Milwee Middle School for playing a “game” March 15 that involved pinching other students, an act the school deemed “socially unacceptable.”
“I was by the officer and we just pinching random people, that’s it,” she said.
Evans’ student victim was not injured, and told officials he didn’t want Evans to face criminal charges.
But the next day the boy’s mother insisted that police charge Evans with a crime, and they did.
The teen was arrested, read her Miranda Rights, and hauled to a juvenile detention center, where she was fingerprinted and booked into the system. 
Evans’ father, Ray Evan, described the punishment as “extreme” and “crazy,” according to the news site.
“I can see her being suspended from school, I understand that, but as far as them coming to arrest her the next day, no, that’s not the American way,” Ray Evans said.
“Lord what has this world come to?” he told ABC 7.
“Kids can’t even be a kid.”...
