I think the claim was attempted rape. I have not read the materials. Call it assault if they touched her, if indeed something happened. The girl could be totally at fault here and boys totally innocent. I do not know. If they didn't touch her but still threatened her that is still some sort of abuse. Let's be theoretical here, because I for sure do not know what happened. I know that stuff like this does happen, and a good talking to is only the first of many steps that should be taken, and another step is that they should be under constant, unrelenting supervision. Kids are running loose and all sorts of stuff is happening at very young ages. If they try this at age 10, what will they be like at age 15? Done playing doctor? mg
