Everyone played doctor when they were a little kids, but you can't anymore though. It's now considered SEXUAL ASSAULT! In Wisconsin, authorities have accused a 6-year-old boy of first-degree sexual assault of a child for allegedly playing "doctor" with a 5-year-old girl. The case, which is plowing new legal ground in Wisconsin, calls into question when a child's act can be considered criminal (particularly when it involves behavior some experts say isn't normal for children that age). Under state law the boy is too young to be charged, so if a judge finds the boy committed a delinquent act, the court can order that him and his family to receive counseling or other treatment.... who knew a real life game of operation could get you legally grounded!
