this is fine until some prosecutor comes along who decides to go the route of post #16. Maybe he doesn't like the kids skin tone, maybe he's been told to maximize fine revenue, or maybe he's just in a foul mood because his wife yelled at him.

Then with the way laws are now, maybe the kid ends up as a registered sex offender for life.

And of course, do NOT label them a sex offender in any way
That should be the extent of it...and no a mooner or someone caught peeing in public is not a sex offender!

For some weird reason, I expected to get some grief over just the suggestion of community service! But I really think it fits the crime(?) well. Community service is a light punishment; just the nature of it alone makes it barely a punishment at all. And while I would never condone this behavior and I think it's really stupid, I can't see putting someone in jail or making them pay a huge fine over it.

Of course it should be illegal with required sex offender status! It's for the chiillllldreeen after all isn't it? We've got to protect the chiiiildreeeen at all costs, there's evil around every corner! God knows these poor 8th graders have never,ever seen a buttocks before and are now damaged for life, will need years of therapy to get over seeing what they saw, oh the trauma of it all.

We'll just forget that many of them are most likely on the pill and have seen way more than a buttocks in their face .
Remember, it's a crime to moon somebody but if it's done on a TV show,music videos,movies,clothes ads,or a sports calendar it's ART.

I remember reading a NJ supreme court case in which two kids had to register as sex offenders because they pulled their pants down and sat for a second on another kid's face.

How in hell did we arrive at this point. And should every high school teacher who taught Chaucer be arrested and jailed too?
Mooning: A history. When did people start baring their butts as an insult?

Is there anyone who does not agree that the nanny state is out of control?
Well.... Should mooning be a criminal offense? ... I guess it depends on who is mooning whom.

My daughter and I were travelling down the TP two summers ago when a kid came running from the woods in Burlington County to the edge of the road, mooned and ran back into the woods. We laughed so hard.

Not a big deal. Usually a prank and not meant to intimidate or harm anyone.
