A 12-year-old Florida girl was arrested and faces a misdemeanor battery charge after she pinched a boy's bottom during what she said was just a game kids play at her school. Breana Evans thought the incident was a joke, explaining that pinching someone's derriere and laughing at their reaction is a game played by many at Milwee Middle School, Nesws6 reports. However, it all turned serious after the boy's mother got involved last week and told deputies she wanted to prosecute Breana for battery.'I regret it because I didn't know it would lead to this,' Breana told the station.
'I feel like it's just stupid just a stupid charge that shouldn't have to happen.'
The initial incident happened in between classes two weeks ago, after which the boy told the school resource officer that he did not want to press charges, News 6 reported. Breana, who said she did not know the boy, was then suspended. But last week the boy's mother called police and said she wanted to press charges, which was when Breana was officially charged and booked into juvenile detention. While Breana's father, Ray, says he is sorry that his daughter touched the woman's child, he thinks the boy's mother is overreacting.
'Lord lord lordy what has this world come to... kids can't even be a kid and that's basically what it is... she's 12 years old she was acting like a 12-year-old child,' Ray Evans told News 6.
He added: 'I'm sorry my kid touched your kid but I'm sorry... because you need some help I think, too overprotective... let your kid be your kid he might get some friends and that's all I have to say.'
According to the Seminole County state attorney, if Breana completes the diversion program, including community service, classes and passes drug tests, the charge will be dismissed.
