Boob Tag

Seems like an excessive response to me:

"Boob tag" lands teen in trouble

The 14-year-old boy's mother says he needs to learn that such behavior is not tolerated, but thinks the response by Golden police went too far.

A teenage boy who admitted to playing a game of "boob tag" with his friends may be facing charges of unlawful sexual contact, his mother said Wednesday.

Cole Sharpe, a 14-year-old student at Bell Middle School in Golden, was accused of touching a girl's breast while playing the game with other students about two months ago at the school, said his mother, Lynn Sharpe.

Cole played the game with a mix of girls and boys and it was all consensual, she said. "It turns out there's this game called boob tag where you grab somebody's (breast) and they're it," she added.

Lynn Sharpe said her son told her that his accuser was not among the group that played the game.

Cole declined to be interviewed.

Sharpe said school officials called her on Friday and said they were questioning Cole after they learned about the allegations. She said she believed the district's investigation was over, but on Tuesday the school's resource officer asked them to come to the Police Department.

After about an hour of questioning, the officer "said she's placing Cole under arrest," Sharpe said.
