The only bright side...

...to this story is that it gave me something to blog about.

Girl, 13, gets detention for hugging two friends

I'm just not sure what this experience is supposed to teach her.

And when I contrast it with our joyous weekend—where we had kids of all ages hugging, holding hands, walking arm in arm, wrestling, tumbling, tickling, and laughing, laughing, laughing—I just want to cry.

Socialization? I prefer our variety, thank you.

pretty scary stuff! It is amazing that we get the "what about socialisation" question when we homeschool given this stuff goes on.

Yeah, amazing and sad. Craig had some good stuff to say on this subject(and another Non-Con photo!) here:
