Oh, but the kid got Sunburn!!! Oh, poor baby! Which of us never got sunburn in the summer, whether at summer camp, at home, visiting grandpa on the farm, or wherever?

With fair skin, it was never an "oh, no big deal" for me when I got sunburned. It caused terrible pain, and on a few occasions, meant a trip to the emergency room. It is much worse these days for anyone to get burned because of the lack of a sufficient ozone layer. Plus, there is always a concern of cancer later in life caused by a childhood burn.

I agree with Bill and Sins.

The first thought that came to my mind was an older kid, and fifteen is plenty old enough, deciding to do the "hokey-pokey" with a younger kid. And, I don't mean the dance. What kind of safety measures were there to make sure a little kid didn't get raped or coerced into something they were uncomfortable about? If either of my daughters did this with my grandsons, I'd sue for custody.
